I migliori ristoranti in Calabria

09/12/2025: A small, pleasant place in Lamezia Terme where the food is excellent. We started with fries and... nothing, spectacular. Sila potatoes, flaked caciocavallo cheese, and crispy capocollo: flavorful. Then we moved on to the sandwiches. TEMPESTOSO and TOREAMMO These are also truly delicious with their combinations. Plus, you can choose your sandwich from: • Soft artisanal bread with sesame seeds • Homemade ciabatta baked in a wood-fired oven And also the type of meat: • Veal burger • Chicken burger • Chicken cutlet • Sweet or spicy sausage Truly excellent, we'll be back.

08/11/2025: Very long waiting time for a sandwich and not even 50g of chips

07/12/2025: From appetizers to first courses, from main courses to local wine. If you're looking for and want to taste traditional home-made dishes prepared to perfection, you should book a table at Locanda del Re.

09/11/2025: Instead of tagliatelle with mushrooms, I ordered lagana and chickpeas, but they served very overcooked lagana. I had actually asked for tagliatelle with mushrooms, but they told me the dish wasn't available due to a lack of fresh mushrooms, and there are frozen mushrooms everywhere, but their menu featured a plate of tagliatelle with mushrooms, so what am I supposed to think? My wife asked for gnocchi alla sorrentina, which was served at the table. Finger-sized gnocchi, floating in a pink sauce. The antipasto del re was expensive for four slices of cured meats and a microscopic piece of pecorino. This trattoria doesn't reflect the setting of an inn.

19/11/2025: Very disappointing: I went to this restaurant, which is so widely promoted on social media as excellent, but the reality is very different from what they want people to believe. Aside from the nice and welcoming location and the kind staff, the rest is very poor. Dishes with little flavor and unbalanced seasoning/gross errors of concept (such as the tuna tartare, therefore a crudité, placed under the hot pasta, thus losing all its peculiarities, or the baked potatoes that tasted only of garlic, inedible, never seen anything like it), etc. etc. Not to mention the prices, such as the second course (I attach a photo) swordfish, 4 small pieces with a little orange and fennel, 25 euros 😳 when in the best restaurants it doesn't cost more than 18/19 euros, or the octopus, 3 micro pieces over 26 euros. That said, 4 first courses, 3 second courses, a side dish, and only 2 bottles of water came to €205. For €250, I've eaten in much better restaurants, especially those with more courses. I'm sure they'll tell me I'm wrong and that they've had a lot of positive reviews. I wonder how that's possible, given the low quality of the food.

03/11/2025: Good quality food, service too, prices not exactly cheap but not very expensive either, shame about the decor which definitely needs modernizing, but we were told that there is already a renovation project and it is definitely worth it.

21/09/2025: The quality of the fish is excellent. The service is professional, and the location is beautiful. A good selection of dishes, 4/5 of each type, without those endlessly long tourist menus. Prices are in line with seaside seafood restaurants. Highly recommended... And then, in mid-September, with the beach half-empty and the sea in front... peace of mind.

11/09/2025: Amazing experience on the beach of Scalea. Great food supporting by pleasant service and surrounded by relaxing atmosphere. We are looking forward to returning soon...

13/10/2025: More than just a B&B, it was like staying with friends. The hospitality was exceptional, a true example of passion for hospitality.

13/10/2025: Great place with excellent service, very friendly staff and very good food

02/09/2025: Excellent culinary and relational experience

30/08/2025: We had a wonderful birthday celebration. The location is surrounded by nature, the service is prompt, the dishes are exquisite and traditional... and the owner is very happy to chat with us, explaining the origins of the various dishes... and to delight our ears with the sounds of the Calabrian lyre or guitar. An experience we'll definitely repeat!

25/11/2025: Beautiful location, but the service leaves something to be desired. Bottles of water were delivered to the table without asking if we wanted still or sparkling wine. The wine we ordered was then asked if it would be brought after the appetizers arrived, since we had already started a while ago. The little girl's fries, which we ordered, never arrived, and then found them on the bill. Well, what can I say? Maybe they weren't expecting all those customers in November, but I personally booked before going there. Otherwise, everything was good quality.

11/09/2025: Everything was perfect, the fish was excellent, the mussels were peppered and the anchovy arrigata were recommended, the place was lovely.

12/09/2025: Excellent meat, friendly and kind girls, very attentive to customers... I recommend it!

07/09/2025: A very good restaurant. Highly recommended if you like meat. Ten of us came here spontaneously and received a great welcome and service. As Germans, we have difficulty communicating, but that wasn't a problem and they managed it. We'd be happy to come back.

09/11/2025: Beautiful, authentic, and 100% homely place. I recommend it.

21/09/2025: A super relaxing atmosphere, surrounded by greenery just a stone's throw from the city. Delicious products with refined, ancient flavors. Friendly and attentive service. I truly think it's an oasis of peace, hospitality, and good food. P.S.: I rarely use superlatives. Thank you so much and keep up the good work.

08/10/2025: Excellent bar in the center of Reggio Calabria!

12/09/2025: The lady was so kind, she gave me one of the treats to try because she couldn't explain what it was and didn't add it to my bill. The food and coffee were delicious, and the prices were good. I highly recommend them!

25/10/2025: Beautiful location overlooking the sea, excellent food and service 👍

10/10/2025: We're having lunch with amazing fish. 🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂

19/09/2025: Go and ...... Come out with a full belly

02/09/2025: I've been a customer practically my whole life, it's a bit like being at home. Quality, courtesy, and affordable prices. Highly recommended.

21/10/2025: A wonderful escape from the summer heat and crowded beaches. The landscape is enchanting: a beautiful and evocative corner of the Sila, less crowded than the mountainous areas of Cosenza. The establishment is beautiful and welcoming, the cuisine is remarkable, and the service is excellent. Suitable for families and guests seeking a healthy environment and authentic cuisine. The owners' friendliness and hospitality do the rest. It's rare to find people so knowledgeable, passionate, and so deeply connected to their local area. It would be wonderful to have lunch there in the fall, too, when certain mountain produce is at its finest...

16/09/2025: Two days of rest after a beach holiday. Family-run, with great courtesy and helpfulness, like all Calabrians.

16/08/2025: A pastry shop and café with excellent fresh products. Friendly, helpful, and attentive staff. Remarkably low prices for the quality!

22/07/2025: The best pastry shop in Paola. Friendly and courteous staff. The best you'll find in Paola.

07/11/2025: It's located inside the Conad supermarket, on the first floor. A good canteen with a variety of options.

20/09/2025: Clean environment, menu updated daily. I've been a customer for years now, and I particularly enjoy lunch at this restaurant, where all the staff, especially Ida, are professional.
