I migliori ristoranti di cucina cucina calabrese in Calabria

21/02/2026: Exceptional food. From the appetizers to the main courses, to the meats and desserts, everything was truly excellent. The service was courteous and prompt despite the restaurant being packed. The prices were more than fair.

14/02/2026: One of the best restaurants I have ever eaten. The antipasti's just kept on coming and were all delicious. We skipped the primo, as we were already exploding, but the main course was also superb. The price of everything was also great. I have never seen a better value-for-money ratio for any restaurant.

05/04/2026: High-quality local food, cooked to perfection. Very friendly staff and fair prices. A sure thing!

03/04/2026: Probably one of the best restaurant experiences we've had. This one is located in the mountains above Tropea. The antipasti offered a wide variety of local products. The pasta was simple but perfectly cooked, and the sauce was delicious. The meat selection was generous and cooked to perfection. We loved the attentive service. They took the time to offer helpful advice, and the servers always made sure everything was going smoothly during our meal. The price was so reasonable considering the quantity and quality. In my opinion, if you're vacationing in Tropea with a car, avoid the touristy restaurants (expensive and not good) and come to this restaurant!

20/03/2026: Delicious Father's Day dinner! Everything was delicious, but the first courses were truly exceptional! The spaghetti with cod and cruschi was incredibly delicious, and the lagana and chickpeas were excellent! The giancia melted in your mouth, and the homemade desserts were top-notch. It's always a pleasure to return. Highly recommended!

12/03/2026: The people are friendly, kind, and very smiley, and the food is divine!! It's mouth-watering, and you'll find everything delicious.

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.

22/03/2026: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5 stars for professionalism, hospitality, service, and high-quality food. A beautiful location immersed in the greenery of the Cropanesi countryside...ample parking. Typical and regional Calabrian cuisine, both meat and fish, along with fabulous pizzas cooked in a wood-fired oven. Michele, the owner, and his very kind, welcoming, professional, and attentive staff. I highly recommend it...a beautiful place in our area 🥇🥇🔝🔝🤩🤩🫡🫡😎😎

10/03/2026: If you're looking for the authentic Calabria, the kind of genuine hospitality and bold flavors, this restaurant is a must-visit. The culinary journey begins with a selection of house appetizers that, alone, are worth the entire dinner. It's not your typical run-of-the-mill selection: here, you can taste the quality of the ingredients... Highly recommended! I'll definitely be back.

02/01/2026: Beautiful location and very kind owner. We ate an excellent tagliatella with porcini mushrooms, an appetizer of cured meats and cheeses, house wine, water, coffee, €35. We will be back!

23/12/2025: Today, December 23, 2025, I had lunch at the LA BOTTE restaurant. The flavors were unique and delicious, just like they used to be. Antonio is very accommodating. It was like having lunch with family. A heartfelt thank you to people like Antonio who keep the service for tourists alive.

12/04/2026: The best Parmigiana I've ever had and the other steaks and sausages were delicious.

11/04/2026: I went to this trattoria with my family. The food was delicious and high-quality. The staff was friendly and the atmosphere was elegant. I recommend it.

09/03/2026: A bistro with authentic flavors, extraordinary ingredients, and a homey atmosphere. If you want to savor the true essence of Calabria, this is a must-visit!

23/02/2026: It's amazing how simplicity is sometimes the best weapon to combat the ruthless competition that continues to raise prices and even add the word gourmet to olives. Here, without frills, you eat well, they treat you like a god, simple dishes from Calabrian culture. Fresh, handmade products, nothing frozen. Prices, needless to say. They keep costs down by preparing everything themselves, and this benefits the customer. Truly speechless. Congratulations.

17/03/2026: Service was too slow. Portions of vegetarian meals are too small. It was a 5-course meal dinner, and it took 5 hours to serve these. Though the order was already pre-ordered, still had to wait so long for each course. Ravioli was undercooked and had too much salt. Risotto's rice was undercooked. Lasagna with zucchini and potato, Cabbage/Lettuce with mushroom sauce, cake were okay.

08/03/2026: Hidden in the backstreets of Tropea, this local restaurant serves delicious local food. The prices may not be the lowest, but it's worth it! The interior is small but atmospheric, and you can eat outside, but being off-season, the weather wasn't ideal for al fresco dining. The pasta with Lucius and mushrooms was simply exquisite!

17/01/2026: We went to this place for lunch and what can I say, everything was delicious, then the owners Gianni and Mrs. Clementina, exceptional kind people who know how to do their job, they put their heart into it, thank you, highly recommended

18/12/2025: I'd been there 21 years ago, and it was already an institution! A "family-like" atmosphere, informal, and pleasant. Typical, homemade food, a location that gives you the feeling of eating at home, with your grandparents... The owner, a descendant of generations of restaurateurs, is always attentive to his customers: he talks about the hospitality his grandparents gave him, and he's a friendly host who also enjoys sampling tradition. If you're visiting the area (the Mileto Museum has numerous interesting artifacts and unique pieces!), I highly recommend stopping by!

28/03/2026: Guests at Kamastra's! This is how you'll feel after enjoying this traditional local culinary experience! You won't have any reason to leave the table! Civita is to Kamastra as Kamastra is to Civita. When visiting Civita, a stop at Kamastra restaurant is a must to fully experience Arbëreshë culture.

18/03/2026: An authentic restaurant serving local food and wine. We were even treated to an impromptu pasta making demo, interactive of course - and then ate the fruits of our labour! Thank you so much for a great evening 😊

21/03/2026: Excellent fish and cooked to perfection, recommended for those who want to eat excellent truffles

17/01/2026: Delicious food. I recommend it.

04/01/2026: I highly recommend it, both for the welcome and for the excellent quality food.

04/10/2025: We ate here while visiting Gerace, and had a wonderful time. The food was excellent, and we were served by a wonderful woman who made us feel at home and pampered. Highly recommended.

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.

01/03/2026: The food was simply superb and plentiful. The appetizer alone would have been enough to fill us up. And all of this for a very good price. The atmosphere was fantastic and the music was amazing. We almost started dancing on the tables. If we're ever in the area again, we'll definitely come back.
