I migliori ristorantinella città Rende della Cosenza

13/08/2025: When I go back on vacation, I eat ice cream every day. And I think I'm capable of giving an honest opinion. Today I found myself at the Metropolis shopping center in Rende/Cosenza, specifically at C House. I ordered two medium cups and a brioche with gelato, all three with cream. The gelato was good overall, although not comparable to the artisanal one made in Jacurso (CZ), for example. I would have even accepted the price (€3.50 for the medium cups and €4 for the brioche). But I found it ridiculous, almost insulting, to have paid €0.90 for the additional cream for three—just a smear of cream on the gelato, so to speak. I asked the person at the cashier, Raffaella, if this was the amount I paid €2.70 for. Her response: "Does that seem small to you?" I'm posting the photos and leaving it up to my followers to decide for themselves. I preferred to avoid unnecessary discussions. Referring to other cities in the same region (to name a few: Reggio Calabria, Catanzaro, Pizzo, Tropea, Lamezia) and my previous reviews, I can say that many ice cream shops don't charge extra for cream, and the few others don't charge more than €0.30. But it's at least triple the price of the one I had here today. And definitely better, too.

13/08/2025: Today we went to the C HOUSE COFFEE SHOP and were fortunate enough to be served by Nicola: kindness and attention to detail. He served me a perfect lobster, crispy and creamy just right, while he made two impeccable coffees for my mother and aunt. The nicest touch? My mother had a caffè macchiato with a heart... a simple gesture that makes you feel special. A welcoming atmosphere, excellent products, and a service that makes you want to come back. Bravo Nicola! 👏

15/09/2025: Good food, but poorly organized. A 30-45 minute wait just to order on a Sunday, and there aren't many people there despite the constant requests to order.

14/09/2025: I ordered a ginseng and they brought me… hot colored water. Not even a hint of aroma or flavor, basically a watered-down broth. Non-existent service: the waiters are distracted, slow, and completely indifferent to whoever arrives. A walking manual on how to scare away customers.

06/10/2025: Terrible experience, I'll tell you mine. I go in to get a receipt as is customary here, I get a receipt for a coffee, I put the receipt on the counter (visible with the word "COFFEE"), the lady dares to snap her fingers and say "Good morning" while I was talking on the phone with headphones on to a family member. A word of advice, first of all, the coffee was burnt and I had to throw it away, secondly, learn to respect customers. Yes, I know it's hard for your minds to grasp that before being students, we are customers and we pay you. If you've never been taught respect, 20-year-olds should teach you that.

30/09/2025: I asked for a coffee at the bar and was immediately given a plastic cup with an iced coffee. When I asked for a hot one in a cup, which I didn't even think was necessary, the bald guy at the bar gave me a challenging look for 2-3 seconds, as if my request were a luxury reserved for a select few😂. You guys are no snob. I'll add an experience that wasn't mine, one that I unfortunately witnessed. There was a guy at the bar—who, to give you an idea, was wearing makeup and obviously gay—who was loudly called a "prostitute" by the bald guy, prompting laughter from his colleagues at the bar. The tone was offensive, not joking, to the point where the guy in question, visibly surprised, drank his coffee and quickly left without even looking up.

27/10/2025: Poor quality products. Heavy, chewy dough. Never again.

30/09/2025: Truly awful pizza. Not to mention the brown-haired guy who first handles money and then touches the food with his hands, while also sticking his finger in his mouth to catch the papers on the trays while serving customers. Bad, bad, bad. HACCP CRIES.
