I migliori ristoranti di cucina cucina calabrese

07/05/2026: Amazing views, very polite and friendly family run hotel. Nothing is to much trouble, nice clean rooms, great breakfast, on site bodega. They ran a free shuttle to a local restaurant with local music and owned and run by the same family, lovely evening out. Highly recommended.

10/01/2026: We chose this hotel restaurant again to celebrate my second daughter's graduation, after the wonderful experience we had two years ago. It felt like returning to a place that always knows how to make important moments special. The friendliness of the owners and staff, their professionalism, and their attention to detail make this place truly unique. The atmosphere is elegant and welcoming, perfect for a heartfelt celebration; the organization was impeccable in every way. The cuisine deserves special mention: carefully prepared dishes, quality ingredients, and a perfect balance between flavor and presentation. Every course was appreciated by all the guests, a decisive factor in the success of the event. It's rare to find a venue capable of maintaining the same level of excellence over time: here, quality is a testament. A reference point for memorable occasions, which I recommend without hesitation.

24/04/2026: We returned with my family because we had an excellent culinary experience, and they never disappoint. A must-visit very close to the Sanctuary of Natuzza Evolo. Everything was delicious. The owner, a welcoming and very kind gentleman, is one of the few who still manages to preserve typical Calabrian dishes and traditions. The appetizer was plentiful, and the homemade fileja was truly spectacular. The appetizer and main course were accompanied by plenty of wine and bread, all excellent ingredients, and the price was fair at less than €30 per person. We'll be returning often.

14/03/2026: An excellent trattoria! Quality food, menus for every budget, fast and professional service, cleanliness, and courtesy are the hallmarks of this trattoria.

21/09/2025: Great place with friendly staff!

08/09/2025: I happened to visit and it turned out to be a restaurant that had been renovated from a church!! The atmosphere was really great! I ordered Neapolitan pizza, and it was the best pizza I had during my trip to Italy! When I visited, I suddenly wanted to eat Aglio Olio, but it wasn't on the menu. So I asked just in case, and they said it wasn't difficult and made it for me! I recharged after a tiring evening of traveling with delicious food and a great atmosphere! gràzie!

15/05/2026: A great restaurant in Tropea Old Town, especially known for their steaks. I had the Grilled Tournedos from Beef with truffle and sides, amazing! Nice atmosphere in an alley and perfect service. We really recommend a visit.

12/05/2026: Amazing restaurant in Tropea! The place offers a typical Calabrian gastronomic experience and the food is of the highest quality. I wish I had spent more time in the region so I could return to this restaurant more often!

26/04/2026: The staff is very friendly, the food is plentiful with the flavours of the past, excellent value for money.

29/03/2026: Agriturismo Petru i Ntoni in Bova is a charming place! Situated in a strategic location, it offers breathtaking views of the valley and the sea. The cuisine is traditional Calabrian, with hearty and tasty dishes, such as the house antipasto, pasta with mushrooms. The owners are very welcoming and helpful, and the service is fast and friendly. The atmosphere is rustic and relaxing, perfect for a romantic getaway or dinner with friends.

07/05/2026: Super authentic, very delicious!!!

26/04/2026: We had lunch at this restaurant, although we had booked in advance. The fried foods were good, along with excellent prosciutto and goat. The fresh pasta, with mushrooms, ragù, and amaranth, was also very well cooked. Given the typical setting, I would have spent more time on the food and the explanation of the dishes, but since it was Sunday and the place was packed, I think that was impossible. The house wine was very pleasant. The only flaw: the wait between courses was very long.

10/05/2026: I didn't like the place and the music

09/05/2026: Friendly staff, decent food. Unfortunately, the pasta dishes are very small and not nearly filling. The restaurant is clean. A major problem is the uneven floor with loose pieces of flooring.

26/03/2026: Very refined Sunday lunch, friendly and courteous staff. The location is a bit dated.

25/01/2026: Frankly, I don't understand all the reviews raving about this place...maybe I'm on the wrong day! I had lunch on a Sunday in January. I was in the Bagnara area, and, drawn by the reviews, I decided to book a table for four for 1 pm for my family. The woman I'm talking to kindly told me yes, but that they open at 12 pm, implying I could also come earlier. We went anyway at 1 pm sharp, and strangely, it was closed! Not being local, I started to suspect I'd made the wrong place, so I called and they told me they were about to open right then: thank goodness I hadn't come earlier! The atmosphere was nice, the staff friendly. We ordered a marinated anchovy appetizer, which was good but nothing special. The first courses, three different ones, had cooking issues. Not only were they not al dente, but the pasta was clearly overcooked, and three out of three of them weren't simply a mistake! The second courses were good, but again, nothing exceptional. The desserts (apple pie) were below expectations, considering I'd read reviews that described them as the best desserts I'd ever tried... who knows! Paying €20 for two slices of soggy cake that looked like it had been made by a novice leaves a bitter taste in my mouth, even more so than the dessert itself. The bottle of wine we chose was good, as were the glasses of sparkling wine we ordered to accompany the desserts, since I was celebrating my 50th birthday. For this very reason, I expected at least a complimentary coffee, but that didn't happen! The price was high, but it was reasonable for what we ordered and there were no surprises compared to the menu.

23/04/2026: I'm just sorry there aren't 6 stars... service, food, courtesy, professionalism at the TOP

01/04/2026: Welcoming place, kind staff attentive to customer needs.

07/12/2025: Excellent, carefully crafted traditional cuisine, featuring the freshest local ingredients and perfectly paired with Calabrian wines. You'll appreciate the chef's rare ability to showcase local culinary traditions with just the right amount of creativity. The service is very efficient, and you'll always appreciate the scenery, the welcoming atmosphere, and the chef's exceptional hospitality. Excellent value.

10/05/2026: A small, family-run gem, where a husband and wife team welcome guests with genuine warmth and a connection that shines through in every detail. The atmosphere is intimate and authentic, with stone walls and checkered tablecloths evoking the true tradition of Italian trattorias. Each dish tells a story of passion and simplicity: from golden, fragrant fritters to delicious montanarine with tomato and basil, to fresh cheeses accompanied by homemade jams. The mixed antipasti, featuring pickled vegetables and local cured meats, pave the way for authentic and well-balanced flavors. The desserts deserve a special mention: the fresh and fragrant lemon cheesecake and the millefeuille with cream and strawberries are the perfect finale to a lunch that feels like home and poetic. A place where time slows down and cooking becomes a gesture of love. Highly recommended for those seeking authenticity, friendliness, and flavors that speak of tradition.

09/05/2026: We were greeted by Mrs. Silvana with warmth and delighted us with her dishes. The "fixed" menu was perfect for us: we were practically full from the appetizers, but we enjoyed the fantastic first courses. The desserts and liqueurs were also excellent. It was all topped off with conversation and laughter. We will definitely be back. Best regards, Ilaria and Luciano

11/04/2026: Il Carpaccio restaurant is a must-visit. The hot and cold appetizer is simply spectacular: quality Calabrian cured meats, exceptional meatballs, pickles, mushrooms, and countless other specialties. An explosion of authentic flavors, generous and carefully prepared: worth the dinner alone. The first courses are delicious.

22/01/2026: A truly evocative location with a beautiful fireplace that reigns supreme in the room... the quality of the food is remarkable... the staff are courteous and professional... I would recommend this place to anyone.

04/05/2026: A truly memorable gastronomic experience! Authentic flavors conveyed and communicated with passion and skill. Francesco's cuisine is a guarantee!

04/04/2026: The best place in the world! If you don't go, you won't understand. If you want to eat well, lots of it, in an old-fashioned, cheerful atmosphere, with lots of music and fun! Highly recommended, great prices! ❤️❤️❤️

19/04/2026: How do you say "Excellent and plentiful"?
