I migliori ristoranti di cucina cucina calabrese in Calabria

07/09/2025: La Baita was a pleasant confirmation, the owner was extremely kind, and the staff was knowledgeable. They immediately set up a table inside because it was a bit chilly in the evening... but let's talk about the food! Excellent! The Aieta ham is always a guarantee of delicacy, the ricotta is top-notch, the pasta is all homemade, the tomato ravioli are delicate and delicious, as is the lagane (tagliolini) with local chickpeas... It's definitely worth the drive up to this village... a restaurant open all year round that "consoles" you with its food culture. P.S. Sorry for the photos... we dusted everything...

01/09/2025: A pleasant surprise in Aieta. Good food and a friendly, attentive welcome.

28/08/2025: I have known the place for over 10 years now, excellent quality... courtesy, excellent service... dishes that only you can taste... terra cotta lamb... a world heritage site ❤️ the thing that surprised them the most is certainly the integration of "SPECIAl" kids who are allowed to feel an integral part of the world of work... ..❤️ from the kitchen to the tables... kids who with their smile fill your heart making us experience an absolutely familiar context and not at all taken for granted in today's society... which instead of valorizing these kids... from whose sensitivity we have so much to learn... sometimes marginalizes them. much honor to the whole team but especially to the boss❤️❤️❤️

26/08/2025: Wonderful, true flavours of the past, courtesy and familiarity.

07/09/2025: A good restaurant in the heart of Brattirò. The food is good, and the service is friendly. Prices are a bit high.

07/09/2025: Nice place, friendly and attentive staff, excellent food. If I had to find a flaw, it'd be the portions, which are a bit small for the price. An appetizer for two, a first course, a second course, a half-liter of local wine, and water cost €55.

08/09/2025: Ate here for lunch while visiting Gerace. Rustic restaurant with exquisite food, especially the Homemade A' Squella Pasta. Staff was also very hospitable. I would recommend dining at A' Squella for those visiting Gerace.

30/08/2025: Strategic location, excellent food, and very friendly staff. They seated us at 12 even though the kitchen opened at 12:30. Prices were reasonable for the area and the amount consumed.

20/08/2025: Advantage: Excellent, local, and homemade food Disadvantage: No menu to consult

20/08/2025: Beautiful restaurant with amazing food, I brought my mom here and she speaks no Italian and I am still learning. I thought there would be a physical menu, so I had trouble keeping up with the Italian of the waitress and owner but she was incredibly nice and understanding and even used Google translate on her phone to help us order our first course which was very kind and thoughtful of her. We were unfortunately too full to order second courses but the desert was also amazing. Service and food were all fantastic! I'd love to come back again with a bigger group, and when my Italian is improved!

27/08/2025: A genuine, family-friendly culinary experience. The dishes, made with locally sourced ingredients, are a true delight: the parmigiana and stuffed eggplant were excellent, but the mushroom gnocchi were truly amazing. The lack of a menu was also appreciated, with the owner simply listing the few excellent daily specials. The price, discovered only at the end, turned out to be very fair and without any surprises—in fact, I'll definitely be back!

27/08/2025: After a morning spent wandering around the village of Badolato, we decided to have lunch at this tavern. The food was excellent and delicious, and the owner, Antonio, was excellent company and service. He welcomed us as if we were at home. As we chatted, he even offered us some prickly pears to try. Highly recommended if you're visiting Badolato.

31/07/2025: Servizio impeccabile. Cibo spaziale. Vino greco dal profumo erbaceo e unico. Esperienza che porterò con me per sempre, finché non avrò l’occasione di tornare. Ps: feta al forno e pietanze di pesce da sogno

27/07/2025: Siamo tornati qua dopo 2 anni... sempre un livello altissimo, pranzato veramente alla grande... complimenti, molto consigliato.

22/09/2025: Great traditional food at reasonable prices. Good service. Very popular but a bit noisy at times.

21/09/2025: It doesn't live up to its reputation. The meatballs are flavorless, the first course is bland, and the second course I chose (stuffed squid) was a disappointment. The owner is very nice, but in my opinion, they need to raise the bar a bit or lower the prices to justify it all.

26/07/2025: A charming spot where you can also chat in peace, without the crowds that are found in other parts of Tropea. We liked the food.

20/07/2025: I had a fantastic experience at this restaurant in Tropea! Located in the heart of the city center, the atmosphere is welcoming and relaxing. The fish is fresh and high-quality, and the tuna tartare was a real revelation! The owner was very kind and helpful, and the staff was equally welcoming and professional. The prices are beyond excellent considering the quality of the food and service. Everything was delicious! I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone visiting Tropea.

20/08/2025: Warm welcome, family atmosphere, delicious food (the eggplant pizza makes us want to return in a heartbeat!). Many thanks to all the staff at Bizantina for a wonderful evening in Rossano.

19/08/2025: I must say very traditional, welcoming place, polite staff, excellent I recommend it 👍🏻

28/07/2025: I recommend it, the food is excellent, typical Calabrian cuisine, all homemade, a typical welcoming place and friendly staff, not to mention the owner, a very kind and honest gentleman from another era. I lost a pair of glasses and he immediately took steps to send them to me, a truly good man.

20/07/2025: We stopped to sleep and eat at "Il Normano" on our way to Sicily. The rooms were very welcoming, spotlessly clean, comfortable, and equipped with everything you need. They offer self-service breakfast; we enjoyed it very much. As for the restaurant, everything was perfect: excellent pizza, fast service, and very friendly staff and manager. They greeted us with a smile even though they were closing. I recommend both the restaurant and the rooms. Fair prices. Thank you very much.

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!

23/08/2025: A very characteristic place, located among the olive trees, excellent service, good food 😋 At the end of the dinner, wonderful trays of homemade desserts, spectacular. Thanks to Marta for the attention she gave 💐

22/08/2025: Restaurant located in the town of Cropani, ample parking, reservations recommended, suitable for the disabled, informal atmosphere, good service, home-made food, average prices, a generous starter, two first courses, wine, €45

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.
