20/09/2025: Entering this historic restaurant in Paola is like coming home; in fact, it's like discovering a home you didn't know you'd always been looking for. Every detail—from the white paint to the antique beams, from the long wooden "nave" that seems to tell family stories to the impressive aquarium with live lobsters—expresses a love of the sea and hospitality. Here, you're not just a customer: you're welcomed with genuine warmth. Chef Emilio is a master of seafood: each dish is a symphony of freshness and expertly balanced flavors. The seafood specialties are varied and always surprising; it's clear that each recipe is born of experience, passion, and respect for the ingredients. The fine wines selected further enhance the dishes, and the pizzas—yes, even the pizzas—are prepared with care and flavor. And the homemade desserts? A perfect conclusion that will remain in your heart. The family-run business of Carmelina, Emanuele, and the young Niccolò creates an intimate and authentic atmosphere: they manage everything with discretion, professionalism, and a warmth rarely found. The waiters are extremely kind, attentive, and never intrusive: their smiles complete an already extraordinary experience. The pride of a family that has transformed a restaurant into a place of celebration and memory is evident. The space is magnificent and versatile: the large capacity and the dramatic wooden nave make it perfect for weddings and anniversaries, those evenings where you want to share beauty with loved ones. The entrance, with its touches reminiscent of a London home—the doormat, the discreet ashtray for smokers—and the statue of San Francesco di Paola across the street, contribute to creating a unique, almost timeless atmosphere. I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart: for the excellent food, for the sincere welcome, and for creating a space where every visit becomes a precious memory. You have cultivated not just a restaurant, but a place of the soul. I have been a customer for years with immense pleasure and will recommend it to anyone who wants a genuine, warm, and unforgettable experience. With gratitude and respect, Marcello Scarpelli, "a grateful customer"!

30/10/2025: I found it by chance for work, and I can say it's all exceptional. For Welcome They made me feel at home Service Impeccable The food is like being at Cannavacciuolo Then there's Marco, what can I say (and helpful with everything) and a place run by the family and with love. I will never forget you....

24/09/2025: We were greeted at 2 p.m. on Wednesdays by a super friendly staff. The pizzas were delicious, and the complimentary focaccia-style starter was super good. Recommended 🤩

19/09/2025: amazing place with great food. we had the seafood fredo, cavatelli Bolognese and sea urchin spaghetti. all amazing

18/09/2025: Nice restaurant with good quality pasta, seafood and wine. Only thing it is a bit noisy because location near busy street. Host very friendly.

22/08/2025: Excellent food, very good local appetizers, excellent pasta, superb meat, and delicious desserts. Recommended Pecorella white wine, also very good.

21/08/2025: Efficient waiters, charming place and excellent quality food from meat to first courses and appetizers and also excellent desserts and wines

06/10/2025: I arrived too early however, the staff were very accomondating and allowed me to stay and for awhile I had the whole resaurant to myself. I was sat in the cave like area which was very atmospheric, clean and the decor was suitable with the music helping with the whole experience. The staff were wearing smiling faces and looked happy to be of service! I orded a carafe of house wine which was very welcoming after the soaking I got finding my AirBnB. The choice of meal was a hot one after travelling from Lamezia airort eating cold foods from bars, so I decided on the Mixed meat grill with a salad all cooked fresh apart from the salad lol. The local lemon cheescake was the best ever I have tasted in all my 72 years on the planet, drunk down with a local limoncello perfectto.

03/10/2025: The location is beautiful, but what about the appetizers? We had a seafood appetizer, which wasn't very generous, and a house appetizer with a slice of each cured meat and some vegetables. Both were out of proportion for the price.

04/08/2025: My review is solely for the restaurant. Unfortunately, I could only give the food, with the exception of the desserts, 3 stars. In my opinion, this is the weak point of this restaurant. However, the service is very good, the atmosphere on the terrace is intimate, and the prices are correspondingly low. The desserts were very good, 5 stars :)

28/07/2025: Stayed in the first half of July. A delightful, peaceful place in a strategic location for exploring Calabria. The owners are attentive, friendly, and available for any need. Excellent value for money.

08/12/2025: Great bar in the center. Friendly and helpful staff.

06/12/2025: The place is very nice and the atmosphere is pleasant. Unfortunately, after waiting at the table for several minutes, no one came to take my order, and I ended up having to leave without eating. I hope it was just an isolated incident, but it's a shame I didn't get to try anything.
