I migliori ristoranti in Cosenza

05/07/2026: I was struck by the passion with which Nicola (the owner) runs this farmhouse. The food is excellent, and the service is attentive and punctual, making it feel like being at home. Nicola is supported by his wife, an excellent cook, and his son, an expert in gardening and good wine. A wonderful experience.

02/07/2026: Breathtaking views and dinner beyond expectations!!! Everything was excellent, including the owners!!!! Highly recommended!

08/05/2026: Beautifully restored restaurant but quiet atmosphere in early May. Great views, wonderful side garden, good service, reasonably priced local wines. Personal view so dont let it put you off, as this is an attempt at innovative fine dining - chef-ified and de-rusticated. Calabria...but food didn't really do it for us. Pasta itself good... but soggy ravioli (split or intentional? unsure) and powdered mint spinkled artichoke pasta creation mainly lemon flavoured. Both veal and lamb rib chops seemed slow cooked...odd choice for these cuts rendering a grey meat albeit with intense sauces to restore. Prefer de-chef-ified re-rusticated Calabria.

25/04/2026: Typical Civita cuisine revisited in the style of Chef Gregorio Buccolieri, a welcoming atmosphere, a beautiful garden area with outdoor dining options, and friendly and professional staff. Excellent service and a good wine list, the cuisine is delicate and tasty. The meatballs with creamed carrots are delicious. Homemade leavened and baked goods are also available. The menu changes with the seasons and the carefully selected ingredients. Good value, reservations recommended.

13/04/2026: Beautiful location on the edge of town Perfectly clean rooms Very good regional breakfast buffet Several restaurants within easy walking distance in the town center Very attentive service from the owner, Roberto, and his father

13/04/2026: A fantastic hotel in a prime location for outdoor sports activities. The owner is exceptionally helpful, friendly, and welcoming. The breakfast was excellent, plentiful, and featured regional products. The short distance to the highway (5 minutes) also makes arrival very convenient. I highly recommend this hotel!

21/03/2026: Excellent Sandwich...the conzaticci 😍

21/03/2026: Kindness, courtesy, and quality. Ad maiora 🍀

23/06/2026: This restaurant offers exquisite dishes that conjure a story directly on your palate, almost like a movie you can taste. Service is paramount here, suggesting that the waiter (who is also the owner) has had some experience in Michelin-starred kitchens! When it comes to value for money, one can only say that a new standard has been set. If you're in the area, I highly recommend a visit. Thank you for this culinary journey!

15/07/2026: We had a delicious meal, unique flavor combinations that you won't easily find anywhere else, and the staff is very welcoming! Highly recommended!

08/06/2026: Excellent Calabrian restaurant. Dishes prepared from first-class, local ingredients, creatively elevated to a new, higher level. Good wines from smaller, niche wineries. Pleasant, homely atmosphere. Exceptional value for money. One of the best experiences of this year's vacation.

28/04/2026: Everything was wonderful, from the service to the ambiance, and the dishes were sweet but not nauseating. We had a great time; it's especially suitable for small groups who want to enjoy a bit of peace during brunch!

15/04/2026: I entered this brunch spot with legitimate expectations, quickly dashed by service that would be an understatement to call sloppy. Upon arrival, I was asked to stand for ten to fifteen minutes before being shown to my table, despite the restaurant being visibly half-empty: a wait that was neither justified nor courteous. Once seated, a second wait ensued: another fifteen minutes just to receive the menu, as if the act of consulting it itself were a privilege to be earned. From then on, the ordering and the dishes arrived in relatively normal times, but by then we were beyond irritated and impatient. The food, unfortunately, offers no redemption. Unremarkable dishes, lacking personality and memory, portions that were small to the point of being symbolic, and prices that were frankly exorbitant for what was on offer. It's a place that invests heavily in aesthetics—decor designed to catch the eye and enhance the scene—but neglects what should be central: the quality of the cuisine and customer service. I won't be returning, and I wouldn't recommend it to others either. Edit to the review after the restaurant's response: I'd like to clarify one point, as the response I received distorts what I wrote. The approximately thirty minutes cited were not part of a "slow and mindful" dining experience, but were spent solely on being seated and receiving the menu, in a place that was anything but crowded. Claiming these times as consistent with a "philosophy" seems inappropriate, to say the least: slowness, if chosen, is a value; if endured, it's simply inefficiency. I expect to be served in a respectable amount of time, after which I—not the restaurant—am free to decide whether to take a break, converse, or extend my stay. What made the wait even more unpleasant was the fact that, during that entire wait, no one bothered to ask if we'd like anything to drink, even just a glass of water. This isn't "taking your time," but a lack of customer service. I therefore reiterate my assessment: not a criticism of the calm, but of a service that attempts to gloss over its own shortcomings with a narrative that doesn't reflect the actual experience. Further update: I see the response has been edited, shifting the focus to my "tastes" based on other reviews. This is a minor observation: my assessment concerns specific events that occurred at your establishment, which I've described in detail. Blanking unjustified wait times and lack of customer service down to personal taste is a rather convenient way to avoid addressing the critical issues highlighted.

04/06/2026: Something wonderful!! An unforgettable atmosphere, the wonderful chef, Angela. Delicious food and house wine. Highly recommended.

04/06/2026: A unique experience On the outskirts of the city, a timeless place It's like stepping into a fairytale: colorful surroundings, very welcoming staff A family dedicated to quality dining using genuine, locally sourced products. Excellent food Excellent value We'll definitely be back Highly recommended

20/05/2026: We went for dinner twice and the owner treated us very well. We wanted a light dinner both times and he didn't hesitate to help us put together our meal. You have to try the fennel (finocchio) salad with orange—it's delicious, with a surprisingly good flavor! A very pleasant place, and the friendliness of the owner and staff is outstanding. I definitely recommend it!

17/05/2026: Excellent food and a lovely welcome

08/07/2026: Padre Pio, who always lived in poverty, must be very sad to see this display of wealth...
