I migliori ristoranti in Calabria

05/09/2025: We received excellent advice from the Toscano CZ Centro agency for leasing a commercial space. It's a solid experience, having used this service in the past. Highly recommended agency.

24/04/2025: Selling a house can be a stressful experience, but thanks to Toscano Immobiliare Spa everything went smoothly. From the first meeting I perceived great professionalism, transparency and a profound knowledge of the market. They followed every phase of the sale with attention and availability, keeping me constantly updated and taking care of every detail, from the evaluation to the promotion of the property, up to the conclusion of the deed. Special thanks go to Mr. Pizzuti, who made everything easier with courtesy and competence. If you are looking for a reliable and truly customer-oriented agency, I can only highly recommend it!

04/08/2025: We found this rotisserie by chance, and I must say we returned several times during our vacation, even though it's a bit far from our accommodation. The service is friendly and helpful, the quality of the products is very good, and there's a wide selection to please everyone. The flavor and combination of ingredients in some of the slices (parmigiana, Americana, cherry tomatoes and buffalo mozzarella, etc.) is truly excellent. The prices are fair, and there's plenty of space both inside and out for dining.

02/08/2025: Impeccable service! Serving 20 trays at the appointed time while maintaining the highest quality is not something everyone can do!! Only Tonino Gidari could do it... thank you so much.

28/08/2025: Beautiful dishes and lots of flavor....

27/08/2025: After last year's positive experience, my family and I returned for an evening. Unfortunately, it was nothing like last year. We ordered two fried fish dishes. Horrible, completely burned. It's a shame, they lost a lot of points, I'm sorry.

26/08/2025: An interminable wait to take our order. After almost half an hour, the owners' daughter informed us that table service was suspended and that we should serve ourselves inside. She reiterated, in a completely rude and annoyed manner, that if we'd been in a hurry, we could have gone straight inside from the start. Unfortunately, this isn't an isolated incident of this kind.

23/08/2025: A terrible experience in every way - NOT RECOMMENDED. We arrived at the La Pergola Calabria bar around 6:30 in the morning. The place was practically empty: only one other table occupied besides ours. We sat in the outdoor gardens and immediately realized that they had been completely dirty from the night before: used glasses everywhere, trash on the floor, sticky tables. Disgusting. We decided to move to the front area, hoping it would be more well-kept, but what awaited us was even worse: a cold and rude welcome. A woman—who we later discovered was the owner—came out and looked out the door with a visibly annoyed tone, asking us, "What do you want?", adding that "maybe she'll have time to serve us since there's no one else there yet." She didn't even come to our table: she simply leaned out the door, answering both me and my boyfriend in an arrogant and hasty manner. We simply asked what flavors of cream they had for a croissant and what juices were available. Her response? "What do you want? Come on, hurry up. So?!" Said in a dry, annoyed, almost aggressive tone—as if we were doing her an injustice by wanting breakfast. I can understand that you have to hurry in the morning, but the bar was empty, and the two guys who usually work with her had simply left for a moment (we saw them return as we were leaving). The owner wasn't alone; there was an employee with her anyway. So: four employees for a small-town bar—large, yes, but certainly not exclusive—and receive such treatment? It's simply shocking. In the end, we took everything to go just to avoid arguments, but honestly, I would have preferred not to leave a single euro in there. And this isn't even the first bad experience: on a previous occasion, I also tried the gelato and was very disappointed. The flavors were overly sweet, almost nauseating. The strawberry, in particular, was chemically treated and frozen, with chunks of ice inside, as if it had been poorly preserved. In fact, right after that experience, I started reading the reviews... and coincidentally, I'm not the only one who noticed the rudeness of the staff. Many reported the same attitude: pissed-off responses, rude tones, zero professionalism. As if they were doing the whole world a favor by working there, without realizing that people choose to go there—and then find themselves treated poorly. Dirty environment, rude staff, poor quality. I absolutely do not recommend this place. I truly hope anyone reading this review will think twice before coming in.

31/07/2025: Sono ritornato dopi un anno in questo posto memore della bella serata trascora 1anno fa.Grande delusione oltre al prezzo aumentato in un anno del 10%(da 30euro a 35)anche l'atmosfera è completamente cambiata oltre alla qualità del cibo,al di sotto della media di 1anno fa.Dei Pascoli di Ulisse solo i Pascoli sono rimasti,Ulisse è andato via.

26/07/2025: Se vuoi provare la vera cucina calabra devi per forza venire ai Pascoli di Ulisse. Piatti e antipasti buonissimi, frutto di una cucina genuina fatta con passione. Consigliamo di andare a stomaco moooolto vuoto. Porzioni abbondanti terminate con un buon amaro e dolce della casa. Prezzo ottimo per la quantità. Grazie anche ai proprietari, servizio attento e veloce. Torneremo sicuramente!

17/08/2025: Great food and great live music! Highly recommended!

14/08/2025: A pleasant, average restaurant with a simple, welcoming atmosphere. The fish was fresh and well-prepared, no surprises, but good quality. I had swordfish. My girlfriend had spaghetti with shrimp and pistachios. The service was friendly. Overall, I'd say the four stars are fair. I'd gladly return for a casual dinner.

10/07/2025: Alas, I'm teetotal, but judging by the smiles on my friends' faces, I can tell they like beer. I can, however, vouch for the pulled pork... MASTERPIECE!!!

09/07/2025: The welcome and quality were sublime! Top product and owner!

29/08/2025: We visited this restaurant in the middle of August. We ordered appetizers and main courses for the entire table. The quality of the fish seemed good, and we were also satisfied with the preparation. But there are a few things I'd like to suggest, both to improve the service in one of the most beautiful places in Calabria and because I believe the experience often matters more than the food itself. 1. In a seafood restaurant, if I order water and pay €4 (or €3, I don't remember exactly), I expect a glass bottle, not a plastic one!!! 2. When the dishes arrive, I expect them to come out of the kitchen at the same time, but instead the main courses arrived at different times, forcing one diner to wait while the others had to start eating to prevent the dish from getting cold; 3. At 10:10 PM on the week of August 15th, when the restaurant was barely full, they were still serving appetizers to other tables. When we asked for the dessert menu, we absolutely couldn't hear ourselves being told, at a table of four, "We only have TWO slices of fruit tart left for dessert." This is honestly unacceptable. 4. The music: as soon as we sat down, we asked for the volume to be turned down because it was decidedly loud. But even if we wanted to turn it off, Elodie and co. might listen to the radio while dining in a restaurant, and at an unpleasant volume. I repeat, these are criticisms I'm making to try to improve, since I think you have a lot of potential, but honestly, the experience, despite the food, wasn't the best.

21/08/2025: We went to eat at this restaurant in the center of Diamante. I ordered cold octopus as an appetizer, but it was so tough I could barely chew it. Then I ordered scialatielli, which were cold, and the pasta was overcooked. To finish, we asked for the dessert menu, but they no longer had any desserts available. The only thing I was satisfied with was a nice bottle of Rosé! The waiters weren't very helpful! The quality/price ratio was poor! I wouldn't recommend it!

27/08/2025: Great sandwich!!! Very clean and fair prices 😉

26/08/2025: You can find everything from meats, fruit and cold cuts to souvenirs. The owners are very friendly and helpful, and it's already the second time I've been there, I hope to return.

17/08/2025: Delicious swordfish ragù, delicious swordfish scallops with vermouth aroma A bit of a wait for the first courses. A pleasant conversation with the owner about our cuisine was enjoyable.

28/07/2025: Dopo un rientro abbastanza convulso, a causa del mare mosso, dalle straordinarie isole Eolie, dopo le 15.00 abbiamo provato a prenotare da Baylik, per gustare i famosi spaghetti alla carbonara di pesce spada. Lo chef Fortunato Zappia, insieme alla super efficiente e bellissima Carolina ci ha accolto nonostante il grande ritardo. Che dire, la carbonara di pesce spada è un'esperienza che va fatta, perché ti riconcilia con la vita e ti fa dimenticare la brutta traversata. Carolina al servizio è stata velocissima e professionale, immediatamente ha portato un pane buonissimo croccate fuori e morbido dentro fatto di farine scure, che abbiamo divorato, nella breve attesa dei piatti scelti. Il menù è molto vario e i costi sono contenuti nonostante l'eccellente qualità dei piatti proposti. Oltre alla carbonara di pesce spada consiglio la frittura di pesce e per finire il gelato alle creme fatto dalle mani sapienti del nostro chef Fortunato. Bravi, torneremo presto!

18/07/2025: Spiaggia sempre pulita, personale al top, mi sono trovata benissimo, il tramonto de la Pecora Nera Beach unico! Ritorneró

07/09/2025: I often go to Il Pirata, and every time it's a confirmation: the fish is incredibly fresh, the dishes are always varied, and the attention to detail is meticulous. But that's not all: the pizza is also delicious, light and easy to digest, made with quality ingredients. Chef Davide is truly talented, and he manages to elevate every dish with original yet balanced combinations. The atmosphere is welcoming, and the owners and staff make you feel at home with their kindness and professionalism. It's rare to find a place that so successfully combines quality, warmth, and a sea view. For me, it's become a regular stop when I want to indulge in a true seafood experience.

07/09/2025: Il Pirata is one of the best restaurants I've ever been to. Delicious food, excellent service, and a welcoming atmosphere. I recommend this restaurant to everyone.

15/07/2025: A welcoming and relaxing place, perfect for a break overlooking the sea. Excellent food, super fresh fish, and delicious desserts!

05/06/2025: Restaurant on the beach, umbrellas and sun loungers must be paid for at the restaurant. We had lunch there several times.
