I migliori ristoranti di cucina cucina calabrese

10/11/2025: Excellent experience, delicious food, beyond our expectations.

05/11/2025: 01/11/2025 All Saints' Day lunch at one of the most historic restaurants in the Calabrian town of Mileto, once the capital of the Great Norman County in the second half of the year 1000. The name "Il Normanno" therefore denotes the historical reference of Gianni, the restaurant's owner. The chef's masterfully prepared dishes, however, are the work of the best Mileto and Calabrian traditions, with culinary precision and attention to local products, such as Mileto-style tripe and tagliatelle with porcini mushrooms, the restaurant's classics. Bravo!

26/11/2025: We stumbled upon this pizzeria almost by accident, as we wanted to try out a pizza restaurant in the area. We went without a reservation early in the evening and they found us a table right away, which we needed to vacate as soon as possible because there were already customers with reservations. It wasn't a problem. The menu is very interesting, with a strong focus on quality and regionality, in this case Calabrian. The atmosphere is simple and familiar, with small but comfortable tables and adequate and efficient service. The wait staff is highly professional and attentive to customers. The atmosphere is that of a typical trattoria. The portions are generous and tasty, the cuisine excellent, and the experience is wonderful, and we'll have to repeat it. Thin and well-topped pizza, generous and filling first and second courses. The photos don't do it justice... I'll be back. Will you join me?

16/11/2025: Good pizza with quality ingredients. Small atmosphere. The staff is exceptional (how does the waiter remember all the orders without taking a note... 👍)

10/09/2025: Neither good nor bad - somewhere in between. Sometimes on a Saturday night you like to be surprised: too bad, everything was discounted... not with the prices, though, which were completely normal.

09/09/2025: A lovely spot in the countryside, with a young, helpful staff. Delicious first courses and traditional Calabrian dishes, though some concerns about the barbecue meat.

29/08/2025: An authentic Calabrian experience in the heart of Cantinelle. "La Cantina" is a family-run restaurant where tradition reigns supreme as soon as you enter. The simple, homey atmosphere is the perfect backdrop for authentic cuisine bursting with local flavors. We enjoyed homemade dishes prepared with fresh, local ingredients: generous appetizers and homemade pasta reminiscent of grandma's cooking. The delicious antipasti and porcini mushroom pasta dishes are not to be missed. The house wine also accompanied the meal. The hostess was extremely kind, helpful, and eager to passionately recommend the daily specials. It felt like eating at a friend's house, with the quality of a cuisine passed down through time. A restaurant I highly recommend to anyone seeking authenticity, flavor, and Calabrian hospitality. We will definitely return.

24/08/2025: The bistro is a tranquil escape from the chaos of city life, embodying the essence of a truly slow-paced lifestyle. If you're in the area, it's the perfect place to savor traditional Calabrian cuisine made with locally sourced ingredients. The hostess, La Signora, the waitress was incredibly kind to us. After seating us at the table, she promptly offered some delightful bread, including a spicy bread with peperoncino. The restaurant has only five tables, so it's advisable to make a reservation in advance. The antipasto is a must-try, featuring a selection of typical dishes that allow you to enjoy a variety of delicious flavors. We decided to go straight to the second course, but the pasta and first course options looked so tempting that we couldn't resist ordering a bowl of pasta and fagioli. Overall, it was a wonderful experience, and we will definitely be back. Bravi!

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!

19/12/2025: Nice place with a good atmosphere, friendly staff, abundant and very good starters, the first courses much less so as the meat

14/12/2025: Appearances can be deceiving: the menu is overrated and overpriced for what you get, the ingredients are shoddy, the wine awful. The restaurant is focused solely on profit for the restaurateur. As they say, I was once a week, but I wasn't.

07/11/2025: A quaint restaurant located in Antonimina. My wife and I stopped for lunch. The staff were friendly and the food was excellent on all courses. Their artisanal ice cream was delicious. We had a Calabrian appetizer, and that alone... Followed by spaghetti corte d'Assisi (a Calabrian specialty), simple and made with yellow tomatoes, chili pepper, and basil. They were excellent, among the best I've ever eaten. My wife instead chose spaghetti with porcini mushrooms (harvested in Aspromonte), which were excellent. To finish, roasted porcini mushrooms. All served with local wine. My experience was very positive.

08/09/2025: I can only comment on the appetizer because it's the only thing I ordered, as I wasn't very hungry that evening... plentiful, varied, and delicious, though the cured meats were very salty! The gelato was good, but served in a paper cup like a take-out ice cream... I'd advise the curly-haired waitress to try a half-smile or at least adopt a more appropriate demeanor.

27/11/2025: The food was wonderful! The service was excellent! I highly recommend it! We tried the house white wine and it's approved! The service was always very attentive. We came on a friend's recommendation and we loved it.

23/11/2025: A very characteristic restaurant nestled in the alleys of Tropea. Typical local cuisine with reasonable, affordable prices. You can dine here even in autumn, when the touristy town still offers some sunny days. The interior is tastefully furnished.

06/12/2025: A quiet and well-organized place. A generous menu of local produce.

27/11/2025: Quality-to-price ratio is mediocre.

11/10/2025: Typical local cuisine...accompanied by such kindness and friendliness! Well done, guys!

05/10/2025: Good value for money, the service was a bit distracted but it's the end of the season

09/10/2025: A very nice restaurant with an outdoor seating area located in an elegant little square. The food and wine selection are decent. The service is fast and professional. The quality/price ratio is average.

06/10/2025: Freshly cooked and good quality. Friendly service.

03/12/2025: What can I say about this place other than one of the most wonderful culinary experiences I've ever had in my life... A location with an incredible view, perfect food, extremely friendly staff, and prices that are within the range of a normal restaurant dinner. I spent an evening here with two colleagues. We had two different "antipasto" dishes, because calling it that is an understatement, and then we had a main pasta dish. My favorite dish was undoubtedly the Peperone Crusco, a typical dish of the city. I will definitely be back.

22/10/2025: Ristorante Barbieri is a special place, tied to my family memories: it was my grandfather's favorite place whenever he craved mushrooms, and now I understand why. We started with an appetizer featuring porcini mushrooms, prepared in various ways—roasted, stewed, fried, and breaded—all truly delicious. The fresh pasta with mushrooms for the first course was equally exceptional, fragrant and rich in flavor. The quality was top-notch, with generous portions and more than fair prices. Special mention to Luigi, who pampered us and we chatted for a while. He's truly professional and kind. The shop is also beautiful, where you can buy their own preserves and products in oil. A simple but unforgettable lunch: I'll definitely return every time I pass through Altomonte.

12/10/2025: Very welcoming atmosphere, friendly and reliable staff, good food. Highly recommended.

11/08/2025: A top-notch restaurant. Cuisine meticulously prepared with meticulous attention to detail, showcasing the finest ingredients. A family-friendly atmosphere in an elegant and refined setting. Impeccable and attentive service. The wine list is also excellent. Highly recommended.

09/07/2025: Da anni andiamo a mangiare da Mario e abbiamo portato anche altri oltre ai figli,lo stupore è sempre lo stesso, genuinità dei prodotti profumi che non si sentono quasi più nei cibi e la loro cordialità sono un vero punto di forza,si prenota con grande fatica ma la perseveranza paga sempre. Quest'anno abbiamo portato dei parenti che vivono in Canada, e sono rimasti più che contenti. Grazie a voi e a tutto lo staff del ristorante persino mia nipotina di tre anni si è trovata a suo agio.

09/06/2025: ¡Verdaderamente genuino! Totalmente vale la pena y mejor reservar con antelación! La comida es increíble, estilo casero y servido por gente súper agradable! Gracias por la increíble experiencia...

19/07/2025: Trovato per caso visto la sua vicinanza all uscita autostradale. La Cordialità unita alla ospitalità di Giampiero e del suo staff ci ha introdotti ad un pranzo sopra le aspettative, sapori genuini della cucina calabrese con porzioni generose e prezzo più che onesto Consigliatissimo

27/06/2025: Arrivati per puro caso ed è stata una splendida esperienza! Ottimi sia il cibo che il trattamento. Consigliatissimo a chi passa in questa zona.
