I migliori ristoranti in Vibo valentia

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 😕🤔...

11/09/2025: All in all not bad and certainly cheap.

27/08/2025: The hotel proudly retains its original appearance, yet remains well-maintained. The room amenities are impeccable. Maria Luisa, her husband, and their daughter Ivana were extremely kind and helpful. The location is strategic for exploring the entire Costa Degli Dei, from Pizzo Calabro to Capo Vaticano. Bars and supermarkets are just steps away. The value for money is excellent. Highly recommended.

21/08/2025: A charming place with knowledgeable and always available staff. Just a few kilometers from Italy's most beautiful beaches.

20/05/2025: When you are captivated by nature and human warmth, where peace prevails and the smell of homemade food envelops you, where you feel like a private guest... it's here, magical, dreamy, unique, come and experience this review.

27/10/2025: Weak drinks, undrinkable. Tartufo pistachio ice cream scoop should have runny chocolate. The product was taken out of the fridge and had been lying around. We were given snacks and didn't touch them. They were lying around, not promised, and expensive.

09/10/2025: Sparkling water doesn't contain any sparkles. We mentioned that and the waiter was well aware of that but still, nothing happened

29/10/2025: Beautiful venue right on the beach. Service was very nice. Some of menu items were not available for lunch which is understandable. We would recommend this restaurant for the view alone.

21/09/2025: I've had lunch twice at this restaurant with its enchanting view. I was on vacation with friends and would have returned several times given the quality of the food and the tranquility of the place, but we were mocked for tactical menu changes like, "Oh! We don't have this seafood appetizer (20 euros) today, but if you want, I'll bring you octopus and marinated anchovies." They didn't specify that they become two separate dishes, and you pay 20 euros for two tentacles and 20 euros for 8 anchovies. So your seafood appetizer becomes a starred appetizer for 40 euros. The receipt never arrived. We were wrong not to ask for anything at the time, but we were on a happy, carefree vacation and only later realized we'd been a bit ripped off.

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!

13/10/2025: Terrible experience! My only consolation is that I'm not the only one. I just saw the reviews, but they've been overwhelmingly negative for at least five years. How they manage to stay open remains a mystery. I ordered two sandwiches, two arancini, and a can of coke for €37. The receipt only showed the total, so the individual prices were a bit of a guess. The owner was gloomy, to say the least, and offered no explanation. The place has many outdoor tables, but don't you dare change the layout, it's "absolutely forbidden." And don't be fooled by the message "bathroom out of order." They only allow customers to use it. I clearly heard the electric lock operated by the girl behind the counter. If you can, avoid! Luckily, not all Tropea residents are like this. Message for the owners: CLOSE

06/10/2025: Embarrassing toast, prices not displayed. Tourist trap, simply embarrassing...
