I migliori ristoranti in Vibo valentia

06/10/2025: Very good and clean place. Good staff.

05/10/2025: A great find in Parghelia! The staff is lovely, and you can find various types of gluten-free packaged cookies. 👍

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

30/09/2025: Excellent cuisine and excellent service.👍

23/09/2025: The food and service were exceptional; the staff is truly commendable. I would highly recommend this establishment to all.

24/08/2025: We had our usual family lunch this year at Parco degli Ulivi, and, like other times, I returned with high expectations. The service is always impeccable, the staff is kind and helpful, and the atmosphere is relaxing. However, this year I was a little disappointed with the quality of the food. The dishes were bland and flavorless, a real shame, as I'd enjoyed the restaurant's cuisine in the past. We chose their €35 fixed menu (even though we ended up paying €38 🤔)... I don't think we'll be back.

26/10/2025: Very good address away from the crowds, more than generous cuisine with fresh local dishes. If the fishing wasn't good, you won't have what's on the menu! Logical 😁 and not annoying. Very friendly staff. Don't hesitate to go there.

23/10/2025: Very good seafood, tasty local wine, friendly service. The place has a nice maritime atmosphere. I 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: We were greeted at 2 p.m. on Wednesdays by a super friendly staff. The pizzas were delicious, and the complimentary focaccia-style starter was super good. Recommended 🤩

04/08/2025: My review is solely for the restaurant. Unfortunately, I could only give the food, with the exception of the desserts, 3 stars. In my opinion, this is the weak point of this restaurant. However, the service is very good, the atmosphere on the terrace is intimate, and the prices are correspondingly low. The desserts were very good, 5 stars :)

28/07/2025: Stayed in the first half of July. A delightful, peaceful place in a strategic location for exploring Calabria. The owners are attentive, friendly, and available for any need. Excellent value for money.

21/11/2025: I visited Tropea at the end of this summer, a city that's always beautiful and very popular. I chose this restaurant because it's the only one in town that's a member of the Italian Celiac Association (AIC), a key aspect for me. The location is central, though slightly away from the touristy pedestrian area. The interior is pleasant and modern. Reservations are strongly recommended. I arrived with a group of 12. The table was ready, but two chairs were missing, so we stood and waited for them to be brought. We then waited another 31 minutes before anyone came to take our order. During the service, some issues arose: a bread basket was passed over the plate of the only celiac diner. I brought this to the attention of the restaurant manager, but she didn't seem to understand the seriousness of the situation. It was surprising to have to explain such a clear risk of contamination, especially in an AIC-accredited restaurant. It should be added that the gluten-free menu carries a surcharge, despite the prices already not being particularly cheap. And unfortunately, it didn't end there: one of my guests' entire order was forgotten, and the dish arrived about twenty minutes late... and incomplete, to boot. The place wasn't particularly crowded, so it's hard to justify such imprecise service. It's a real shame, because the food is good, and the robot waiter, while interesting to watch, doesn't make up for the staff's shortcomings. Above-average prices demand adequate service. And gluten contamination is no joke. ______________________________________________ Update after the owner's response: ______________________________________________ Thank you for your time, although I find the tone adopted by a place that claims to be competent in the AIC field surprising. I'll clarify a few points. Reservation and table We didn't arrive "at very short notice": we had booked well in advance, as is normal for a group of 12 people with a celiac. The table for 10 had been set for 12, but there were no chairs: a simple fact. If you believe that limited space increases the risk of contamination, it would have been more professional to suggest two tables. Such a professional suggestion would have been more in keeping with the image of a safe and attentive establishment. Wait and Forgotten Order The establishment wasn't packed. The 31-minute wait for the order and the forgotten dish (which later arrived incomplete) remain objective facts. Your reconstruction is unfounded! Attacking the customer instead of acknowledging a mistake is neither a sign of competence nor wisdom. Gluten Contamination My complaint follows AIC guidelines: dishes containing gluten should not be passed over those intended for a celiac. The comments you attribute to me—about celiacs who should eat alone or couples who should sleep in separate beds—are embarrassing and misplaced trivializations, inconsistent with the image of a caring establishment. I say this with respect, but I express my disapproval. Review Timing and Constructive Spirit I wrote this review after two and a half months precisely to reflect and offer constructive feedback. Criticism, when based on facts, helps improve; arrogance and sarcasm do not. If I didn't respect your commitment—the food and the service—I wouldn't have taken the time to write such a detailed review. My review wasn't offensive, and 11 other witnesses can confirm what happened. The tone of your reply—a mixture of sarcasm and emoticons—doesn't do the restaurant justice, and that's a shame, because the food is good. Sometimes it's enough to acknowledge a mistake and, above all, show a willingness to improve. Best regards!

30/10/2025: We had a good dinner, both fish and pinsa were excellent, as for the service, the guy who served us was professional and fantastic, thank you👍

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.

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.

16/11/2025: We ordered via WhatsApp and the pizza was very good, congratulations! Super friendly staff!

25/08/2025: Off the beaten path, you'll find authentic cuisine. Pizzeria Ristorante San Francesco offers just that: traditional Calabrian cuisine, as it should be. Following Google's info (thanks to reviewers), we found this place. There's no showy display designed to impress (the exterior doesn't attract tourists, but perhaps that's a good thing). But inside, the truth comes through: excellent ingredients will win you over. A few dishes, but enough to get to know the area, all homemade with home-grown vegetables (grown directly by the owners). The first courses are delicious, as are the appetizers, pizzas, and second courses. But even the wait before tasting excellent Fileja alla Norma or alla Calabrese is worth it. The flavor explodes in your mouth. Simple, yet genuine and sincere, flavors that are missing from the surrounding tourist restaurants. Added to this is a rare kindness and courtesy that make the dinner even more enjoyable and make you say: I'll be back again (which we did). If you have a car and want to experience the simplicity of Calabrian flavors, I recommend going there—it's really worth it. We've been back three times. Congratulations.

05/10/2025: We've been to this pizzeria many times (not just this year). It has a great atmosphere and delicious food. Serafino is proud of how well his daughter and son run the place. It's worth visiting every day, especially on Saturdays, for delicious pizza and a great karaoke experience. We send our warmest regards to the owners and will probably return during our next vacation in Italy.

10/09/2025: The local products are good. The pizza is good. Gluten-free options available.

09/10/2025: I stayed at the hotel for two nights with a friend and ate at the restaurant one evening. -The hotel is fantastic. It's in a fantastic location right in the heart of Tropea, and we were even lucky enough to have a small balcony overlooking the square. The breakfast was good, and the coffee was delicious. -The food was good. The enthusiastic owner gave us great recommendations for fresh food and treated us to local delicacies. I would love to return if I ever get the chance! Thanks, Nicolo

03/10/2025: The food was amazing, but even more fascinating was the host (Nicolo) who has such a passion and lovely pride for his great food, we felt like in an Italian movie experiencing his hospitality. The waitress (Morena) is also super friendly and kind. Thank you for a unforgettable experience 🙏🏼🥰

29/08/2025: Far from the more commercial coastal towns, this is the perfect location for tranquility, service, and good food. A late-August dinner for two with 2 perfect Spaghetti alla Tarantina and 1 excellent and plentiful mixed grill of seafood. Along with a "de la Mason" rosé and water, it's a very reasonable €50. Don't be fooled by the sign, which says "Pizzeria Ristorante," because pizza service is suspended. Even though I wasn't the least bit interested in pizza, the staff is the first thing they tell you as soon as you sit down, so you still have a choice.

24/08/2025: Sea view, always fresh fish, a simple place where you feel right at home. We always make reservations for lunch in August. Friendly and very helpful staff. Everything excellent!

10/11/2025: Delicious food. Good prices. :)

09/11/2025: We had a great and reasonably priced meal here!! Mmmhhh... The pizzas are really very good. There's a bit of a draft in the hallway, but it's very nice inside. Great service.
