I migliori ristoranti in Cosenza

03/12/2025: Excellent meat and beautiful atmosphere, we really enjoyed stopping to eat

21/10/2025: I don't usually leave negative reviews, but this time I had to. The table wasn't ready despite the restaurant being half-empty, and the service was confusing and rude: we had to argue with the waiter because he took the order from a table that arrived after us. The food was served quickly, but the prices were truly exorbitant for the quality: €20 for a meaningless appetizer. The only positive note was the entrecôte, which was good and well-cooked, accompanied by fries. Unfortunately, the typical Sila hospitality was lacking here.

10/12/2025: Everything is very good, they stock every product, for those on a diet, vegan, or following a gym diet, etc. I always get the pizza with lactose-free mozzarella, zucchini, cooked ham, and pumpkin, or four cheeses, and it's always fresh, lactose-free. They also have focaccia with Nutella spread on it. The pizzas are soft and crispy, with a nice golden crust. Everyone is very kind, humble, and friendly. Most of the time, I have it delivered to my home. The delivery man is also very kind.

18/11/2025: If there were a zero, I'd give it a zero! We ordered two sandwiches, totaling €13.00, one with cutlet, salad, chips, and mayonnaise, and the other with turnips, sausage, and potatoes. So: raw sandwich dough, stale salad (it tasted like it was taken from the garbage, even from the taste), raw chips, and a charred cutlet. The rest of the ingredients were of terrible quality. Let's hope they never get inspected, but one thing's for sure: we'll never set foot in there again!

30/08/2025: We discovered this restaurant and pizzeria by chance and it was fantastic, great prices, delicious pizza, it felt like being in Naples, literally on the beach with a spectacular sea view, super friendly staff, minimal wait time for 7 pizzas (we waited about 15 minutes), impeccable cleanliness even in terms of service, needless to say we returned and will definitely return next summer because they are worth it. I recommend the "La Sila" pizza with Calabrian nduja to those who like spicy food; trust me, you will not be disappointed. For those who like delicate flavors and fish, I recommend the zucchini and shrimp one because the arugula and salmon one was too creamy but still delicious. Everything fresh. Everything excellent. These are the places worth spending money on and I hope you continue to work in this impeccable manner. Well done.

19/08/2025: The staff were very friendly and helpful, and it was the best pizza I've ever eaten in Calabria.

04/01/2026: I would have liked to savor the delicacies of the place, but I couldn't resist the constraint imposed by the manager's policy of taking orders in "chronological order" at the tables. Therefore, having noticed other customers near me still waiting for the so-called "chronological order", I decided to "chronologically" leave. I got the impression, only after reading other reviews, that this thing happens "chronologically," and among other things, despite having politely asked approximately how long this "chronological order" might affect and whether there was another "chronological order" to be respected after the order, the response of a waiter, I must say very polite and kind when he heard you, was the following: "chronological order," chronological order," chronological order," chronological order," and so on... At that point, having no certainty about the wait times, nor even a predictable response, as I said, I left, and for this reason I wanted to apologize for not saying hello to the waiter, but I was afraid that if I called him again to say hello, he would repeat "chronological order" again. I said to myself, "This is going to piss me off," so I didn't have the heart to do it... 🙏😂

20/09/2025: Terrible!!!!! Long and exhausting wait despite having a reservation and despite there being very few people before us. Mediocre pizza. Inedible mixed grill: microscopic portions, meat dried out from overcooking and absolutely tasteless...after waiting over an hour!!! An experience not to be repeated. I certainly don't recommend it!

11/08/2025: Excellent fish-based first courses, the linguine with clams is a must-try!

09/08/2025: Unpretentious, mediocre street-front location, poorly maintained, food from a menu with per-course prices typical of a respectable restaurant. Unfortunately, what we ate didn't reflect its value at all. Nothing fresh was present, and the products were defrosted, as stated on the menu, lacking flavor or culinary expertise. A steep bill for bland dishes.

06/04/2026: We didn't eat here; we just went in to buy a bottle of wine to take away. We bought a bottle of Ciro Librandi red, which usually costs no more than €6.50. Well, we paid €15.00 for it. I can't imagine how much we would have spent if we'd just had a sandwich.

23/02/2026: The food is excellent, with excellent bread and tasty first courses.

14/04/2026: I've been going to this place since high school; it was the go-to place for breakfast, sandwiches, and lunch at the nearby high school. It was run by the family of a friend/classmate. Then, over the years, it changed ownership, lost the ownership of the high school next door, and became a pizzeria/bar. My experience after not going for years wasn't the best. The place was tidy and clean, even though it felt like time had stood still 30 years ago. The service was a bit slow, but not the waitress's fault; in fact, she had to split her time between the bar and managing the pizzeria. The music in the dining room was too loud, so much so that we couldn't even hear each other at the table. The pizza wasn't bad, though I'd chosen it with different expectations; I was expecting something more "Calabrese"...

03/01/2026: This is my first time here because I don't know the city or the area... it was recommended to us. The menu says "pizzeria restaurant," but they have nothing restaurant-like about them except for the two or three entrees they offer because they have those ingredients. In fact, there's not even a menu for the kitchen. The pizzas were delicious, not very topped but undercooked; some were too thick inside. I wasn't satisfied with the food. I hope this can be taken as constructive criticism and improved. The situation is different when it comes to the staff. Always present, kind, smiling, and quick to serve customers. Location: Nothing that makes the place stand out. I'd say very anonymous.

11/04/2026: The ice cream (pistachio and nut) was okay, unfortunately there were no crepes.

03/03/2026: ⭐⭐⭐ This refuge is located in Montescuro, in a very convenient and easily accessible location. The place is truly charming, especially when it snows: the atmosphere is magical and welcoming, perfect for relaxing in front of the fireplace with a delicious hot chocolate. The service is good, friendly, and helpful. Overall, a pleasant place to spend a few hours in tranquility, immersed in the mountain atmosphere.

27/01/2026: It was a beautiful Sunday with lots of snow and then we took refuge here for lunch and warmed up in front of the splendid fireplace.

12/12/2025: Truly awful. It's freezing in the dining room at night. Don't you dare ask for regular napkins; they only use shiny paper ones that don't clean anything. I definitely won't be returning. POS payment is out of order.

23/10/2025: Always receive a warm and friendly welcome from the staff. The service is prompt and the pastries and coffees are excellent quality. Lovely Ambiance about the cafe.

07/12/2025: A place dear to my heart. Excellent food and a wide selection of fine wines. Courtesy and expertise are the hallmarks.

24/10/2025: An absolutely excellent lunch, which heightened our joy and made this day even more unforgettable. Thanks guys, you're great!

05/10/2025: I'm sorry to say this, but the pizza was incredibly salty. I ordered a 4-cheese pizza. I even asked for cherry tomatoes, but they added bruschetta tomatoes with oregano, oil, and a lot of salt. I took it all off and told the waitress. Inedible, the pizza tasted like a piadina. If it had been in my hometown, I don't want to say anything else. Disappointed.

04/10/2025: Overall, I was satisfied with the experience. The atmosphere was comfortable and meticulously maintained. The cut of meat wasn't cooked to my specifications. The staff was friendly.

19/11/2025: A classic bar where service is the last thing on their minds.... Avoid...😡

09/09/2025: Yes, you really have to go all the way to Calabria🚵🏼‍♂️ to eat the best pizza😋

30/08/2025: Great pizza, fast service, friendly and helpful service

28/12/2025: Great big Burgers. good fries. Prompt service. Great evening, we'll be back

18/11/2025: Gio’s Pub is one of our favourite places to go whenever we’re in Scalea. The staff are always friendly, the atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming, and the food is exactly what you want from a good pub meal. Nothing pretentious, just hearty, filling dishes that taste amazing. It’s a great spot for all ages and has a lovely, easygoing vibe. We’ve eaten both inside and outside. The outdoor area can be a little dark in the evenings with not the best lighting, but it doesn’t take anything away from the ambience or the quality of the food. If anything, it adds to the charm. This time I had the truffle burger with chips and it was absolutely divine. Packed full of flavour and cooked perfectly. Overall, Gio’s Pub is a must visit in Scalea. Friendly people, great food and a brilliant atmosphere every time. Five stars without a doubt.
