I migliori ristoranti in Crotone

28/06/2026: I arrived in Cirò Marina with a very specific mission: to find an excellent rosé from an independent producer and to eat authentic sardella. Two goals, one trattoria. At Max's, I told the chef what I was looking for, and within minutes, he made my dreams a reality. The result was a bruschetta I'll never forget: figs, provola cheese, raw shrimp, sardella, and a little salad for balance. A simple idea on paper, but one that showcased what's not surprisingly called the "caviar of Calabria." It was one of those dishes that makes you smile at the first bite. I think I'd been waiting for a lunch like this since I was a child, without even realizing it. All accompanied by an excellent local rosé, expertly recommended and perfect for completing the experience. If you're passing through Cirò Marina with a desire to savor local products interpreted with intelligence and without unnecessary complications, Max's is definitely worth a visit. For once my food hunt ended quickly!

28/06/2026: Simply a wonderful place to enjoy a hearty meal and wonderful memories with friends, and spend unforgettable hours with a good wine from the land and the sun. Thank you for your hospitality. See you soon, Francesco from Germany

29/05/2026: A quiet place where you can eat well and be satisfied while spending much less than other places.

22/01/2026: Excellent home-made food, special dishes available upon reservation, friendly atmosphere, helpful staff, right in the centre of Crotone

26/07/2026: Dinner for two. For an appetizer, we had fried calamari, which was very good. The first and second courses were a bit disappointing in terms of taste.

23/07/2026: I chose Salotto Aragonese to celebrate our wedding anniversary, and we couldn't have made a better choice. We were greeted with great warmth by the owners, truly extraordinary people who make you feel at home from the moment you arrive. Even my children, who are quite fussy eaters, enjoyed the dishes served, a sign of a cuisine capable of conquering even the most discerning palates. The terrace, with its splendid view of the Aragonese Castle, enhances the atmosphere even more, transforming a simple dinner into a truly special experience. We will gladly return every time we visit Le Castella. Highly recommended!

06/07/2026: Phenomenal is an understatement.

04/07/2026: The food quality is poor. There is no menu.

18/05/2026: On the occasion of the feast of the Madonna di Capo Colonna, my daughter went on vacation to Crotone, where she discovered the excellence of gluten-free products. Since I wasn't there with her, she told me every day about her food discoveries, which didn't seem concrete, slimy, or elastic like gluten-free products can be. We received the diagnosis when she was already a young girl (14 years old), so she had grown up with gluten-rich flavors. "MOM, IT MAKES ME WANT TO CRY," she said. She was so happy, and we were so happy to see her enthusiastic about the products she tasted. Thank you so much to the people who dedicated so much passion and hard work to making my daughter's dream come true. "Eating croissants like the ones I remembered...." THANK YOU!!!

08/05/2026: A world of exceptionally good gluten-free and lactose-free products, with friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful staff, as good as their products!

14/05/2026: We're still sitting here as I write this review. The wine wasn't served cold, but the bottle was given an ice pack and chilled in no time. The wine is delicious, though. The appetizer platter, both hot and cold, was huge and absolutely delicious. The spaghetti aglio e olio with prawns was served with spaghetti linguine—not the classic style, but not just a handful of prawns either—and it was also tasty. All in all, we would definitely go back, as the price/performance ratio is absolutely fine. It's not your typical tourist trap, and there are lots of Italian families there.

14/05/2026: Welcoming, the food is excellent and it is truly a guarantee. Highly recommended.

08/06/2026: Authentic Italian – a delight for every palate! If you're looking for genuine Italian cuisine, this is the place to be! The food was simply outstanding – typically Italian, bursting with flavor, and prepared with great care. Every bite was a winner; we were absolutely thrilled! The staff speaks very little English, but that didn't detract from the evening at all – we communicated with gestures, and the team's warmth and genuine friendliness more than made up for it. Sometimes, that's exactly the proof you're in a truly authentic restaurant! What particularly surprised us: the value for money is absolutely fantastic! For the quality and quantity of food, you really pay very little – restaurants like this are rare these days. If you're looking for an authentic taste of Italy without breaking the bank – this is the place for you. We'll definitely be back!

07/06/2026: Good food, friendly service although a little slow, fair prices

20/01/2026: Beautiful location for any event

05/01/2026: We often find ourselves at this splendid event venue, and I must say that in recent years the quality of service has improved significantly, to the point that we, as event venue regulars, consider it the best in the area. From the increasingly comprehensive and well-curated appetizers to the dessert buffet, we would like to extend our compliments to the owner (S.) who has continually raised the bar at this venue over the years. It's always a pleasure to be there with you. Car&vent. See you soon.

22/07/2026: We ordered mixed appetizers!! Delicious, very varied and typical!! Good service, unique location, in the middle of the local morning market!

21/07/2026: Everything is sublimely traditional Calabrian. Varied menu. Tasty and plentiful dishes. Fast service and friendly staff. Local wines. Worth a try. Ask Giovanni for advice.

01/06/2026: Pizza e antipasto molto buoni Bel locale

13/05/2026: Recommended by friends! A very quiet and modern atmosphere! On the Crotone seafront. The staff is very kind, polite, and helpful. The fried foods are excellent! The pizza is fantastic and made with quality ingredients; it's an explosion of flavor and a harmony of flavors. The dough is excellent, soft, and above all easy to digest. The restaurant also offers a fish-based menu. I think I'll be back as soon as I'm in Crotone again! Praise to the pizza chef

10/07/2026: My partner and I had pizza here for lunch. We shared a delicious "Queen" pizza and salad. The service and friendliness was great and we each had a coldl beer as well as a bottle of water. We were well looked after, but not at all hassled despite not wanting a coffee or dessert afterwards.

19/06/2026: We've ordered pizza delivery from the campsite several times, and I keep wondering how it gets all these positive reviews. Each time, the pizza arrived lacking in ingredients, with a soft dough and a hard crust. A real shame: in Calabria, pizza used to be really good, but here it seems tourists are treated less favorably than locals. The reality is that these days, the pizzas are better in the north, while here it's becoming difficult to find even a decent one. A disappointing experience, every single time.

15/07/2026: Simply, for me, the best in Crotone. Not only is the pizza 🍕 not just good, it's extraordinary, it reminds me of Neapolitan pizza, the service is excellent, the guy serving the tables is incredibly kind. But the whole atmosphere is very welcoming and friendly. I'm increasingly convinced that it's the best pizzeria in Crotone of all the ones I've been to.

10/07/2026: All creative pizzas with a wealth of flavours, a delicious pizza where every bite is a surprise, an explosion of strange, well-prepared flavours :-) attentive and friendly staff

01/06/2026: A more expensive but delicious restaurant. Friendly, family-style service. I found the customer service positive. I took the pizza to go every year, lots of toppings, delicious, and highly recommended.

22/01/2026: Delicious thin-crust pizza, either a cartwheel or a contemporary version. I preferred the cartwheel with buffalo mozzarella and pistachios. It was delicious! Very nice place, friendly staff.

15/02/2026: I came here for the second time because the first time I had a good experience, except for the price... This time I had a misunderstanding with the owner. The food was truly awful and the price was exorbitant. The fish wasn't just frozen, it was actually rubbery. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone.

28/09/2025: Good pizza, fast service, nice atmosphere and just a stone's throw from the sea
