I migliori ristoranti in Calabria

06/09/2025: Everything is below average. The only good thing is the moussaka. The staff isn't very friendly. Aside from something good like the moussaka, everything else doesn't make you want to return, including the prices.

25/08/2025: Greek restaurant and pizzeria. Both excellent. Recommended for the tranquility of the place and the excellent service.

04/10/2025: Unfortunately I can't give a rating, because I called for a gluten-free sandwich and they don't make any! mha!

04/09/2025: The pizza was excellent, nothing to complain about. The only downside was that the place was very noisy and the waiting time was a bit long.

21/09/2025: Highly recommended... especially if you're informed and equipped to go gluten-free.

13/08/2025: Delicious pizzas with expert leavening. This is why I gave it 5 stars. A little expensive, except for the Margherita at €5. The rest of the pizzas range from €8 to €14. The only flaw is the extremely slow service. There were about ten of us, and the pizzas took over an hour to be served. A pizzeria like this should serve at least 100 pizzas a day, and I can't imagine what would happen if all the tables were occupied.

26/08/2025: Good morning, we had a divine lunch. Impeccable service. I'll gladly return when I pass by Ardore again, as I live in Reggio Calabria.

23/08/2025: The cover charge is very expensive for the activity it is.

08/09/2025: Hospitality ***** Food******** Prices***** Location with a sea view ***** To get there, you have to travel along a steep road through the countryside, but once at the top, you'll be rewarded with stunning views. This brand-new restaurant, surrounded by centuries-old olive trees, begins with an endless array of appetizers: ricotta, ovoline, cured meats, provolone, eggplant parmigiana, exquisite onions, caponata, fettuccine with fantastic porcini mushrooms, sliced ​​meats, mixed grill—in short, everything is wonderful, locally sourced and cooked with love. The service and friendliness are 100% recommended. Prices are below average.

26/08/2025: Spectacular views of the hills and the Ionian Sea; typical local specialties, all homemade. Dairy products, cheeses, cured meats, vegetables, olive oil, wine, and artisanal liqueurs. A must-try!

18/09/2025: Thank you, Peppe, for delighting us with your authentic Calabrian dishes on our last evening in your homeland! If you're looking for authentic Calabrian flavors, you can't miss dinner at Uliveto! I recommend the fileja with eggplant and pork ragù; the chicken à la mattone melts in your mouth, and the lamb is incredible! See you soon!

14/09/2025: Thanks, Peppe, for making us feel at home! L'Uliveto is a MUST during our summer vacations in Calabria. We've been eating here for years, and we always love coming back—and we always bring our friends who come to visit. Easy, family atmosphere, delicious traditional food, the true Calabrian flavor: Fileja in all its forms (nduja, eggplant, ragu, white beans, etc.), pipi and potatoes, local meats like chicken and rabbit. What more could you ask for? We'll definitely be back! I recommend the fileja with eggplant.

17/09/2025: For several years, during our stay in Camigliatello, we've been going to Scrivano to stock up on yogurt and dairy products to take home. This year, unusually, for dietary reasons, we (four of us) simply wanted to sit in the picnic area and enjoy some fruit we had on hand instead of their usual mixed platters. We then ordered some of their ice creams and, later, equipped with coolers, purchased the usual take-away items. As we were going to sit down (there was also a disabled person with us), the owner abruptly addressed us, saying, "This is not a picnic area." Faced with such rudeness, we explained that we were regular customers who, as usual, were there to buy their products. We got back in the car and, certainly, we will never return, nor will we tell this unpleasant experience to friends and acquaintances. Kindness, and above all, good manners, are not optional!

14/09/2025: The ice cream is definitely good, but I think the cashier can't afford to make a mistake and charge €20 less, and then, with a hint of presumption, not even apologize.

21/07/2025: The trip is worth it; a very good restaurant with the best pasta pizza I've ever had. Excellent value for money.

29/09/2025: Excellent cuisine, dishes prepared with quality ingredients. The service is fast and the staff is very friendly.

06/09/2025: Homely atmosphere, excellent fish, and lots of kindness

02/09/2025: Excellent trattoria! Delicious food, very friendly and helpful staff. The speed of service could be improved, but the taste of the food makes up for the wait.

26/10/2025: Never had a meal so bad. This place is definitely worth avoiding. Stay away!

16/10/2025: Authentic Cosenza cuisine. Good service. The place is welcoming.

04/09/2025: A very well-kept restaurant, with helpful, friendly, and courteous staff. Delicious food made with quality ingredients, generous appetizers, carefully prepared first courses, delicious pizzas, and spectacular second courses. A wide selection of alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages are available. Spectacular location with a breathtaking view of the entire Catanzaro Lido. I highly recommend going there. I'll be back many times!

30/08/2025: Beautiful structure with a breathtaking view and the food is excellent

09/09/2025: It's a pub located in Scalea, right near the historic center. It's a family-run place, and the staff are very kind and always available. The food they serve is very good, with local and authentic products. Highly recommended.

19/08/2025: We spent €43 for four people and ate really, really well. We arrived hungry, nervous because we didn't know where to eat, and confused because we didn't know what to eat. When we arrived, they gave us a really nice welcome. I don't know if it's family-run, but they made me feel that way—really kind and adorable. The three of us created our own burgers, and we were all four satisfied with what we ate. The cover charge is €1, very cheap—I'm mentioning this because it costs a lot in other places. Honestly, I really appreciated it. The price is fair, the food is good, the music is great, and the restrooms are super clean. Highly recommended. We arrived by chance on that street, so we didn't book. I don't think it's necessary, but maybe it depends on the time of day.

30/09/2025: For my wife's birthday. Perfect atmosphere. I recommend the John Dory and the spaghetti. Ask the waiter for advice.

09/09/2025: I've been here twice for aperitivo. Once in July with a friend, we had a strawberry caipiroska and a glass of wine. With the drinks, they brought a plate with 3/4 slices of prosciutto and 2 small bowls of chips for 13 euros. So, prices are a bit higher on the coast, especially considering the place doesn't overlook the sea! But we were still satisfied with both the cocktail and the wine. The second time, in August, my boyfriend and I ordered a Cuba Libre and a glass of white wine. When the waiter arrived, he told me he'd changed the wine because the one I ordered wasn't available, but the one he'd brought was very similar. I don't accept that kind of behavior; you ask to change it first! (In fact, I gave the service a one-star rating.) Plus, with the drinks, he only brought a single bowl of chips. The cocktail was good; the wine was absolutely not (maybe it wasn't similar to the one I ordered!) Cost: 13 euros

23/09/2025: Intrigued by a video on "What are we eating today?" while we were in the Catanzaro area on vacation, we decided to try their famous morzello. They had no tables at 2 PM, but you could pick it up at the restaurant for takeout, unfortunately without a pita and for the same price as eating in. Anyway, it was very good; we would have liked to come back for lunch on Sunday, but that's their closing day. The service was a bit slow; while I was waiting to pay, they were arguing in the kitchen (for a good 10 minutes). It must have been a stressful day.

22/09/2025: The food was good, especially the house-made morsello, which was the reason I decided to stop by. The day before, I decided to call and make a reservation, and a very rude and arrogant woman answered, telling me she didn't take reservations. When I arrived the next day, I heard from the lady in question, who was always very nervous and rude and would yell at all the customers as soon as they asked her anything. Unlike the other girl in the dining room, who was very kind and always available.
