I migliori ristoranti in Vibo valentia

03/10/2025: The Blue Bay beach and kiosk are those "oases in the desert" that I'm happy to find in this earthly paradise. Courtesy, a smile, kindness, professionalism, and a desire to do their job to the fullest. Family-run, this small beach has everything you need for wonderful days at the beach. Discovered by chance on a September day, far from the summer chaos, it gave us a relaxing and pleasant Sunday. Perhaps the space between the loungers is a bit small, but I understand they try to make the most of the small beach. Oh, and a small note: if they let you enjoy the sunset after closing time, be good: "Close the loungers and umbrella!" Kindness demands kindness! Highly recommended

22/09/2025: Very tasty food and very reasonable prices. Everything is freshly prepared. Highly recommended.

20/11/2025: A simple place, perfect for a quick, no-frills pizza! It's located on the road, near the exit leading to S Mileto or Poro. For lovers of good pizza and a quiet, unpretentious evening with friends. Very good! Where to go?

01/11/2025: WELCOMING PLACE, EXCELLENT FOOD, VERY KIND STAFF, I WILL DEFINITELY RETURN

09/03/2026: I've never had a worse meal. An endless wait from the door to the end of the meal. A good two hours to get something to eat, and I don't know how to describe it, what adjective to use to describe it all. From the appetizer to the main course, including a first course (fileja with swordfish sauce) with no seasoning and with the sauce remaining the intention of the person in charge of cooking: cold dishes of truly poor quality. Courtesy is not lacking, but you enter the restaurant not only for the manners... I read the other reviews and wonder if they've changed the chef in the meantime, because today's chef, I believe, is his first experience in the kitchen. What I couldn't have known yesterday is that today I had gastrointestinal problems, resulting in diarrhea. Many thanks to the owner.

02/02/2026: December 31, 2025, passing through Tropea. Last dinner of the year, unpretentious, and before midnight. The owner tells us she also brought her dogs to the restaurant so they wouldn't be scared by the fireworks, and we had ours. During dinner, two explosions were very annoying for us, let alone the dogs. I wanted to go out and protest. At the third, we realized it was the owner's fault, and we ran away. Just one piece of advice, Mr. Owner: commit and invest money and time in quality and speed of service, not in scaring customers away.

25/01/2026: Excellent service, accommodations and food, Tonino is fantastic!

25/01/2026: My family and I arrived in Nicotera Marina from Argentina to visit the town where my father, Jose Di Giorgio, was born. We stayed at the Hotel Nautilus and received a warm welcome from Tonino. We were given a beautiful and comfortable room. We enjoyed breakfasts with delicious coffees and fruit juices. For dinner, we savored typical regional dishes: swordfish, seafood, and fresh fish, all expertly prepared! It was an excellent stay, discovering a beautiful town with stunning beaches and breathtaking sunsets. I highly recommend the hotel and hope to return. Thank you, Tonino and his staff, for your hospitality and service; we felt right at home. Best regards!

24/02/2026: It's a shame the menu isn't available online.

09/10/2025: Absolutely wonderful—we'd love to come back! Don't let the exterior look put you off. Mille Grazie!

20/12/2025: Very disrespectful staff and the waitress takes food even if you haven't finished it. She threatens children a lot.

05/12/2025: Excellent pizza, lightning-fast service.

29/09/2025: The steak melted in your mouth, the fries were excellent, I would have loved to have had some vegetables but there was only iceberg lettuce... Fast, courteous, and professional service! Must try!

06/09/2025: Excellent raw materials, very kind service, trained staff, and very honest prices, the perfect ingredients for a perfect dinner.

11/03/2026: It says it's open, but it's closed.

01/11/2025: The mussels sautéed in Ndujia sauce and Grandma Teresa's Vicolo34 appetizer were exceptional. We were very satisfied and will definitely be back.

30/09/2025: They immediately offered us a table outside, even though it was quite chilly at the end of September. The food was excellent; the tuna with Tropea onions was truly delicious. The service was both professional and humorous. Being in a pedestrian area, parking isn't the easiest thing...

13/09/2025: Nice place, on a quiet street, with good service. The food is okay, but nothing particularly stands out. The wine is very good and reasonably priced.

09/03/2026: Nice atmosphere, tasty food. I recommend it.

01/03/2026: Excellent breakfast in Tropea! I absolutely recommend it.

30/10/2025: I found it by chance for work, and I can say it's all exceptional. For Welcome They made me feel at home Service Impeccable The food is like being at Cannavacciuolo Then there's Marco, what can I say (and helpful with everything) and a place run by the family and with love. I will never forget you....

24/09/2025: They welcomed us at 2 pm on a Wednesday and were incredibly friendly. The pizzas were delicious, and the complimentary focaccia starter was fantastic! Highly recommended! 🤩

29/11/2025: Booked with The Fork. Located in a super chilled little square with soft lighting and an elegant atmosphere. Helpful and professional waiters, food in line with the offerings of many restaurants in Tropea, fair prices, and excellent quality.

09/11/2025: There were four of us. The restaurant is actually located in a courtyard surrounded by old houses (some with their laundry hanging out to dry). A street musician came by and stayed for a full 40 minutes, playing incredibly loudly so we couldn't have a proper conversation. The service seemed to be competing with each other... even though we already had a waiter, the owner came by and started the entire order all over again... if only she had actually brought everything... The food was okay – not what you'd expect from an Italian restaurant. And it was expensive enough for what it was. So, not really...

07/11/2025: Welcoming place and excellent cuisine. The staff is very helpful and efficient. Highly recommended.

29/10/2025: Fantastic pizza, top-notch staff.

13/10/2025: Last night, for the first time we went up to Serra San Bruno. For the mushroom festival, we decided to go and eat a pizza in a pizzeria, in the end we inquired about it from some passers-by and they pointed this pizzeria out to us. We went in and we immediately had a great impression 🥰 of the beautiful place, kept tidy and clean. We took a seat at the table of the lovely welcome in the room and ordered pizza and a first course. I tasted the pizza, it was super good, thin and light, even the first course was excellent. My rating was 10. However, when we got to the cashier, the owner asked us, "Is everything okay?" Yes, everything is fine, congratulations. For everything, my rating is 10🥰 and he started to say kind thanks 🥰 we will be back soon, best regards.

11/10/2025: The food was quite good; I ordered a pizza, and both the dough and the sauce were decent. The only downside is the service. Nothing against the two girls who served us; they did their best, but it was fundamentally poorly managed. We waited 50 minutes for a pizza, while people who arrived after us but had ordered takeout were served. Other tables also waited quite a while for their food. This is a completely unremarkable issue and needs to be addressed.

21/03/2026: The place absolutely needs improvement because I noticed a lot of neglect. It left me perplexed and unimpressed. The owners and staff were friendly. The dishes were plentiful and decent, but not exceptional for my tastes. For example, the spaghetti wasn't cooked al dente. I would only recommend much, much improvement in quality and atmosphere, including better lighting.

13/03/2026: This is the exact same review from about 4 years ago. The owner lashed out (yes, against it, it's appropriate to say!) against this review, attempting to ridicule an honest, albeit unpleasant, review by addressing them in the most truculent and aggressive terms possible. Today, exactly 3 hours ago, that reply to my review was edited!!! 4 years later, it was edited!!! How come? Why? 4 years later, they come back and remove that vulgar and inappropriate reply, replacing it with a few lines...of contrition!? It smells a bit fishy...it's March and the summer season is starting again! And the reviews, along with the replies, are starting to carry a lot of weight and serve as a good reference for those who come or plan to come to stay in magnificent Tropea. I suspect this (they also edited another reply to a negative review!!) is the result of a commercial strategy that has nothing to do with food and dining. If so, new patrons will be able to verify it. I hope I'm wrong and that things have changed today, for the better (truly better, as a fairytale location like Tropea deserves). I'm confident I'll find myself in Tropea again and will want to try their cuisine again, intellectually honest as ever, ready to retrace my steps (I truly hope so). REVIEW IN MY ORIGINAL AND UNEDITED VERSION FROM 4 YEARS AGO: "Think of the worst and that's half of what will happen to you the moment you unfortunately decide to enter this place! Fresh fish has never been in here! The reason they will repeat to you ad nauseam is that this mysterious artifact must go through a "battitura" process (a term in vogue here to define freezing!). The expert who will administer pearls of scientific-culinary wisdom to you is a certain Mauro, a tall figure with a mellifluous attitude who will try to distract you by serving you 2 plates of "reheated soup" that are at least 1 week old and will make you pay dearly and bitterly. You will be surprised to see that a grilled fish (that's how they call it), will taste like Findus fish fingers and that it will have neither head nor tail... nor fish! If you try to ask for a fish in salt (present on the menu) they will answer which unfortunately wasn't caught either because of the peach ban or, in the case of mussels, because they don't like the method of transporting them from Puglia! When you complain about the supposed quality/freshness of the fish, Mauro will tell you he'll report it to the chef! The chef? If anyone ever sets foot in this little theater! Last piece of advice: if you ever stumble upon this place, always ask the price of off-menu puatti (?) and check the bill (they double-charged the water)! Good luck everyone.
