I migliori ristoranti in Vibo valentia

03/05/2026: This is not an agriturismo! A meadow next to the restaurant, no electricity, no other amenities, one toilet belonging to the restaurant, and guests are directed to a public trash can on the street for garbage disposal. The staff were treated with appalling disrespect. Dogs barked all night. In the morning, the exit was closed, and we were locked in! I cannot understand the positive reviews! €20 cash! A rip-off! Don't go there!

05/10/2025: We were visitors from Budapest and found the pizzeria accidentally in Parghelia. We ate pizza and drank wine,3 people. The food tasted good,the atmosphere was like home and the final sum was too low. The proprietor would deserve a higher income in our opinion. It is a respectful pizzeria indeed.

02/09/2025: Pizza tasted like cardboard, staff was inattentive

07/09/2025: Good service, just one waiter, though tattooed like a notepad, fairly quick and capable. The meat was well-cooked, and the side dishes were more than plentiful. In a three-star grill restaurant that serves so much good meat, you can't have a single, unknown beer you've never tasted, only a 33cl bottle. And for wine, only a 3/4 bottle. One star because at the end, I asked for amaro and he brought out a large, unlabeled bottle, claiming it was house amaro. It tasted a lot like leftover cocktails.

04/09/2025: We stayed at this hotel for just one night, passing through the Calabrian mountains. The room had been booked at least twenty days in advance, but I wasn't told that Monday is the restaurant's weekly rest day. The hotel, in fact, functions primarily as a banquet restaurant and, secondarily, as a hotel, mostly for ceremonies with guests traveling and therefore staying for one or more nights. We were therefore greeted by a waiter instructed by the manager to come to the hotel for our arrival. We arrived at the hotel in the early afternoon and were assigned a charming room, all furnished in wood, certainly in a style appropriate for a mid-mountain location like Spadola. However, there was no air conditioning, so it was warm (the sun was shining on it, as you can see in the photo), and it most likely hadn't even been ventilated the night before! Fortunately, the temperature dropped that evening, and the discomfort subsided. The rooms do not have mini-fridges, and the balcony connects to adjacent rooms. This means the shutters must be closed for obvious security reasons, unless someone you trust is staying nearby. The next morning's breakfast was a bit disappointing, as there were no pastries, no other sweets, no yogurt, no fruit, only packaged snacks or biscuits, along with, of course, milk, tea, and coffee. We didn't even have a chance to meet the manager on the day of departure, so we were instructed to pay the waiter who greeted us upon arrival. The hotel is pet-friendly, but I honestly didn't dare take my dog ​​out, as there were three dogs roaming the hotel grounds, and one of them was visibly bothered by my dog. A word of advice to the management...don't offer accommodations on the day the restaurant is closed, because assistance is essential! A warm welcome and customer service can help mitigate any potential shortcomings or even make an already pleasant stay even better. If this is your management policy, given that it was a stay booked well in advance, at least consider offering a more thoughtful breakfast! In all the years we've spent vacationing in Calabria, we've never seen packaged snacks for breakfast, not even in B&Bs, let alone in a hotel that's primarily a restaurant 😕🤔...

14/10/2025: I've been back four times at different times and I must say I've always had a great time, from the sandwiches at the bar to the aperitifs to the seafood lunch served with a sea view. I've been coming since 2023 and I'm sorry to read negative reviews, but I've had only positive feedback, and what's more, I've even gone on the busiest days, e.g., August 15th.

04/10/2025: A seaside location perfect for events, but also for other formal occasions. The seafood appetizers are excellent, especially the raw fish (fantastic). The first courses are always fresh, though it's a shame about the monkfish served with paccheri; I would have cleaned it before serving. In any case, I understand that this was done to convey the freshness of the fish. Congratulations!

09/07/2026: Negative. Unfortunately, we came here with the family, without reading the reviews, and we made a terrible mistake. I completely agree with the negative reviews; the owner was decidedly unwelcoming and rude, and started yelling at us over the phone about personal matters...absurd! The food was mediocre, the prices high, and there's a list of "nothings allowed" posted on the door...you order your drinks at the counter and bring them to your table yourself...but the waiter comes to clear your table before you finish your meal. The tables are strictly for four and tiny, and can't be moved even a centimeter...there were eight of us, but it was impossible to push them together to make a full table. Totally unsuitable for a tourist destination like Tropea. Not recommended, especially since there are hundreds of places to eat in Tropea.

22/05/2026: Tragic! The microwaved arancini was cold inside. They charge an extra euro for the food inside! Ridiculous. I don't recommend it!
