I migliori ristoranti in Cosenza

27/08/2026: The setting is very pretty, with this majestic tree and the view of the Roseto sea from above. Unfortunately, the food doesn't live up to the setting. Despite the fresh produce, the dishes are a bit messy, perhaps with too much seasoning that overpowers the flavor of the fish. Unfortunately, the fried fish was cold and rubbery. Prices are low.

26/08/2026: A magical place...it was a surprise. Everything was delicious and the staff were professional. Two nights in a row, the owner accommodated me by giving me the table I requested even though the restaurant was full. I'll definitely be back.

21/08/2026: I dined at this restaurant and the experience was perfect. The food was carefully prepared and showcased authentic Calabrian flavors. The attentive and friendly staff guided us through our choices, offering excellent recommendations on typical local dishes. Excellent value for money. Highly recommended.

21/08/2026: I tried it for the first time and was really impressed. A small, comfortable place that's very cool in the summer, both for lunch and dinner. Excellent service with great staff. Very good food, from pasta to main courses, and of course, 'nduja. The price is very reasonable.

08/08/2026: Flavors of the Past, the Real Ones Tonight my wife and I had dinner at Trattoria Dal Cugino in Dipignano and we left feeling truly satisfied. Here you'll find traditional cuisine, typical of the area, made with authentic and bold flavors, just like those of the past. You can taste the passion and desire to keep simple, authentic, and flavorful cuisine alive behind every dish. We started with a truly rich appetizer, featuring meatballs and simply exquisite fritters. Some of the flavors took me back in time, reminding me of the ones my mother used to make: a feeling worth a thousand words. Then we had fettuccine: mine with porcini mushrooms, my wife with fresh tomatoes. They're strictly homemade, and you can taste it: fresh, wholesome pasta with an authentic flavor, just like the ones they used to make. Pasta and sauces with a bold flavor, without frills, just as you'd expect from a true traditional trattoria. Another particularly positive note was the welcome. The host, who is also the owner, came to greet us personally, making us feel immediately welcomed and at ease. And a huge compliment also goes to Fabrizio, the young man who served us: truly talented, helpful, and above all cheerful. He carefully recommended the dishes, and his suggestions were spot on, because we thoroughly enjoyed everything we chose. And then the house wine, served with a simplicity and authenticity that are increasingly rare nowadays. He brought the bottle to my table and said, in effect, "Drink as much as you want." A simple gesture, but one that perfectly captures the spirit of a traditional trattoria, where you feel more like a guest than a customer. The quality-price ratio is also truly excellent, especially considering the quantity and quality of what we ate. A bold, sincere, and authentic cuisine that doesn't try to be sophisticated, but focuses entirely on flavor and tradition. If you're looking for the flavors of yesteryear and authentic local cuisine, Dal Cugino is definitely a place worth trying. We'll gladly return.

01/08/2026: Osteria dal cousine, run by cousin Cesare, is an absolute guarantee of quality, authenticity, and courtesy. The cuisine is meticulously crafted, respecting local traditions. It features top-quality cured meats, cheeses, and dishes that will make you dream. A journey through aromas and flavors that transport me back about sixty years to when my grandmother cooked her tasty and authentic dishes.

24/06/2026: Everything was excellent, excellent carbonara and very generous portions, perfect service, kindness and courtesy

16/06/2026: Second visit to the restaurant. Just like the first time, I returned home full and satisfied. The atmosphere feels like home, and the menu ranges from the simple dish reminiscent of lunch at my grandparents' house to the more unique and sophisticated dishes that evoke new experiences. The staff is friendly, knowledgeable, fast, and above all attentive. I would recommend it to everyone, and I want to extend my compliments once again to the staff and owners.

19/04/2026: Very beautiful establishment...we had lunch with friends, and I must admit that everything was delicious. The food was tasty and high-quality. I want to compliment the owner and staff. Their kindness, courtesy, and warmth are so lacking in many restaurants. I hope it always stays that way. See you soon.

21/01/2026: Lovely place, one dish better than the other, service 10 out of 10. A place to try and return to every time, highly recommended.

10/08/2026: An incredible experience: delicious food, a central location, a setting that takes you back in time, but with excellent taste and impeccable service. Kindness and authenticity are the order of the day. Highly recommended.

10/08/2026: I thought eating excellent vegan food in a traditional trattoria without warning was a dream, but I was completely proven wrong by Calabria Bella. This trattoria doesn't offer a 500-dish tourist menu, but rather a few excellent quality choices. Among the first courses, there was an incredibly good vegan option, and for the appetizer, the owner made me a delicious mix of vegetables, olives, and crispedde. Both dishes were generously portioned. I absolutely recommend it for the quality of the food, the portions, and the kindness and helpfulness of the owner.

14/08/2026: We had dinner at this restaurant in a truly welcoming atmosphere. The appetizers were made with local products, followed by meat and fish main courses, including fresh pasta, all truly delicious. The wine was also excellent, strictly Calabrian. You could taste the quality of the ingredients. The restaurant was well-kept. The staff were very kind and helpful, offering excellent advice on what to order. The experience was 100% recommended. Highly recommended.

09/08/2026: If you're looking for a place to enjoy traditional flavors revisited with an innovative twist, you've come to the right place. The quality of the ingredients and Chef Domenico's expertise shine through in the dishes, all complemented by an excellent wine list ready to complement all of the chef's specialties. Highly recommended

09/08/2026: Really well-cooked local dishes, excellent service and honest prices enhance this restaurant located in the centre of Rocca Imperiale.

07/08/2026: In the stunning setting of Rocca Imperiale (one of Calabria's most beautiful villages), you'll find this trattoria serving excellent local dishes. Everything is delicious, starting with the generous selection of appetizers. Here, even what seems like a simple pasta with tomato sauce can become a magical dish.

08/08/2026: The best pizza and service in Scalea. I highly recommend this place for an evening meal in a relaxed atmosphere. Thank you!

07/08/2026: Great place, delicious pizza, large selection, friendly service. Poles, don't go there, run!

17/08/2026: We had lunch at this restaurant. There were six of us, and we all had a wonderful time. The Falcone sisters, Alessandra and Federica, were incredibly kind and helpful, and the food was delicious. We had burgers, meat, and tagliatelle, as well as various sides, including potatoes. The desserts were also excellent.

17/08/2026: Fantastic experience at the Sorelle Falcone Restaurant! Authentic cuisine and a family-friendly welcome: we ate the best veal tagliata of our lives, accompanied by exceptional Sila potatoes. Special thanks to the owners' father, who with kindness, warmth, and passion presented the dishes to us and made us feel right at home, along with our two dogs. We had such a great time that... we'll be back tomorrow! Highly recommended!

05/08/2026: This isn't my first time returning to this restaurant: I celebrated my birthday there several years ago, and it's become our go-to whenever we want to eat well. This Sunday, we were craving seafood without leaving Rende, and the choice was immediate. The outdoor setting is truly refined, thoughtfully decorated in shades of white, well-air-conditioned, and pleasantly softly lit. We started with a seafood appetizer to share, an octopus salad, and vegetables, followed by fried seafood, and finished with a berry cheesecake. It's impossible to choose a favorite: the freshness of the fish was evident, and the fried fish was impeccable. We received a warm welcome from a very friendly owner and attentive, professional service. Prices are absolutely average for the quality offered: appetizers around €18, fried fish €15, and dessert €5.

02/08/2026: A wonderful surprise!! Salvatore and his wife (the chef) delighted us with innovative dishes without neglecting tradition! The location is charming, beautifully decorated, and cool on these incredibly hot days. They gave us great advice! The shrimp mojito was superb! We'll be back for the new Aperol sauce and the "boss" sorbet... Highly recommended!!!!

In the evening we had dinner there and the homemade, locally sourced food was delicious. Everything was very relaxing and... lastly... the Lao River will remain in your memory for its spectacular beauty 💖

19/08/2026: Excellent dinner in a charming and peaceful place. The grilled meats were perfectly cooked, chewing, and the first courses were exceptional. The bottle of house wine was noteworthy. The kids gave us a blast at the adventure park; thanks to them, my 4-year-old daughter learned to complete the easy course and then wanted to try the medium one with some confidence. Thank you so much to the whole family for your dedication!

21/07/2026: A certainty, everything delicious and very kind staff, highly recommended!

15/07/2026: Heaven in your mouth. The gnocchi was delicious. The calamari was even better. Fantastic.
