I migliori ristoranti di cucina cucina calabrese in Calabria

05/08/2025: Terrible staff, food that leaves much to be desired and arrives late and cold

15/07/2025: We were there last night, a table for three outdoors, a lovely atmosphere, the owner was very kind, and the staff was really nice, friendly, and smiling! We ordered two appetizers and two mixed grills, everything delicious. My daughter's cutlet deserves a special mention: she usually gets the chicken cutlet, and it was something special! The chicken was so tender and tasty, I've never eaten it like that (my husband is a chef, so we know what we're talking about)! Everything was absolutely TOP! THANK YOU!!

05/08/2025: I dined at this restaurant, and I must say that from my first contact with the lady taking orders (I believe she's also the owner), I got the feeling it wasn't exactly a welcoming environment... but, aside from the owner's dislike, she immediately informed us there was no menu and that the choice could only be made within a first or second course, which had to accompany the appetizer. If, as in my case, I didn't want a first or second course, they couldn't just serve the appetizer. By the way, the much-vaunted and described appetizer actually consisted of two courses of fried bread dough in different shapes, one bruschetta with a special topping (cherry tomatoes and pepper pieces), and a plate with four slices of salami, one of capocollo, and one of pancetta (considering that the appetizer was for two people). The second course of meat was rather meager. We added 1.5 liters of water. Wine from a plastic container, all for the modest sum of €70.00. Considering the location and what we ate, it seemed excessive to me....

03/08/2025: Beautiful, quaint restaurant! Fantastic, delicious food. Very friendly staff. Super pleasant experience.

08/08/2025: Purtroppo devo dare una brutta recensione, nonostante avevamo la prenotazione, ci hanno messo in tavolo, piccolo e senza ventilazione eravamo in 5 e dei bambini Mancavano alcuni antipasti Prezzo alto ben 35€ a persona per pochi antipasti e un piatto di carne grigliata al massimo per 2 persone, tagliere di salumi scarso al massimo per 3 persone Veramente deludente, da parte di un locale che altre volte c'eravamo trovati bene Tengo a precisare che il locale era strapieno di gente, offrendo un servizio veramente scarso,quindi mi sento di consigliare di andare via quando il locale è pieno in quanto non si è seguiti bene Prezzo esagerato

07/08/2025: Abbiamo prenotato consigliatoci da qualche amico,ma purtroppo non è stata una piacevole serata Tranne gli antipasti,prodotti freschi e gustosi,tutto il resto è da dimenticare Dopo oltre 45 minuti di attesa ci sono arrivati i “secondi” ,ma li hanno riportati in cucina perché il tavolo era da sparecchiare quindi abbiamo aspettato ancora altri 15 minuti abbondanti comunque ci hanno servito salsiccia (9 pezzi ed eravamo in 16) pancetta e fettine secche Ci hanno portato,dopo altri 50 minuti anguria cannoli e caffè ( nel mentre i camerieri svuotavano gli altri tavoli e noi aspettavamo) Ci siamo seduti alle 20:15 ed abbiamo finito di bere il caffè alle 11:45 chiedendolo con un po’ di insistenza visto il menefreghismo da parte i tutti i camerieri 34€ a testa (sconto di un euro a persona perché non abbiamo mangiato i primi) Servizio abbastanza deludente e scadente

20/07/2025: Can’t recommend this place enough! The service is beyond excellent, the food is amazing, and the wine incredible. Our server helped us select a wine based on our flavor preferences and price range. Also showed us everything on the onion appetizer (which we LOVED). And our pastas were so fresh and tasty. So far on our trip to Italy, this has been our favorite place. Unfortunately we didn’t try dessert because we were stuffed, but I’m sure it would have been delicious. Definitely try this place!

19/07/2025: My partner and I dined at La Lamia restaurant one evening in the second week of July and it was a wonderful experience. This restaurant was highly recommended by our friend Vicky, owner of the delightful Vicky's House B&B in Parghelia, where we stayed for a week. La Lumia restaurant offers exquisite food, served in an elegant and unique setting. The staff is very kind and professional. When we return to Tropea, we will definitely dine at La Lamia again. Highly recommended restaurant!

12/05/2025: perfetto!! ho anzi abbiamo gradito e gustato tutto!! per l'esattezza non proprio tutto in quanto antipasto abbondante ed ottimo seguito da primi piatti davvero gustosi ed abbondanti ed a questo punto, secondi piatti non presi (sarà per la prossima volta sicuramente!!!); camerieri gentili e disponibili, complimenti a Luca lo chef!!!!

30/04/2025: Typical appetizer good and plentiful

29/08/2025: The appetizers were mediocre, but the first courses were very good. The service, however, was terrible and inattentive. I waited more than half an hour longer than the others for my first course. Paying the bill was a real pain.

29/08/2025: The food was nothing special. The first courses were quite generous, but the rigatoni with stracciatella and scampi had a sauce that was a bit acidic for my taste. I enjoyed the peppered mussels, even though the portion was small, while the fried calamari was really small for the excessive price of €18. The location is nice and central, and we definitely didn't lack bread.

19/08/2025: It was truly amazing. I recommend making a reservation or arriving early, otherwise, after 8:30 p.m., you might quickly be out of luck and not get a seat. I particularly liked the menu options offered. The prices are total for selected dishes, water, soft drinks, and even house wine and coperta. Truly fantastic! I opted for a large menu, and the waiter had the foresight to suggest I order a smaller one, and if I could manage another course, switching would be no problem. Well, what can I say? It was good that he brought it up. I enjoyed everything, but I couldn't have done any more. Even the sorbet was a bit too much overall.

19/08/2025: A wonderful place to eat many typical Calabrian dishes. The place is truly well-kept, and the food, besides being delicious, is truly plentiful (if you're not particularly hungry, consider your choices carefully). The option of choosing from the set menus is a great convenience. 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.

13/07/2025: We had a wonderful time 🤙🤙🤙 the Byzantine appetizer, besides being something spectacular, was also super abundant and for the first course we had scialatielli with buffalo mozzarella, nduja and taralli and another first course with aubergines and pizzas, all delicious

08/07/2025: A really nice atmosphere. We arrived three minutes before and were told to wait, so I recommend arriving a few minutes after opening. The food was delicious. Communication in English is spotty, but you can manage that with a translator on your phone.

22/08/2025: A place I hope never changes. We ate only locally sourced, top-quality food. The formula is fantastic, as you eat the daily menu, based on availability. You breathe in the atmosphere of a Calabrian family and eat traditional dishes, prepared to perfection.

21/08/2025: I came here with my family and it was a fantastic experience, from the food to the service. The food starts with appetizers, followed by a first course, a second course, and a dessert—all fabulously delicious. The service was excellent, very helpful and fast. The atmosphere was fantastic; this evening the owner even took to his guitar to sing some traditional songs. It had a homely feel, to say the least.

21/02/2025: True Calabrian cuisine Many memories came back to me Excellent chef and waiter

17/08/2025: We stayed in this property, which has a slightly retro style, yet is extremely well-maintained and welcoming. The rooms tell stories of times gone by, with authentic details that lend a warm and familiar atmosphere. Making everything even more special is Laura, the owner: a wonderful person, attentive, helpful, and truly passionate about her work. She made us feel at home from the first moment, with small gestures and a rare kindness. Recommended for those seeking a place with soul, far from the coldness of modern hotels.

15/08/2025: An experience to be repeated and recommended.

25/08/2025: I've known it for many years and have celebrated many anniversaries. Good food, spotlessly clean, friendly and courteous staff, and excellent prices. The only flaw is that the first and second courses are always the same. Change them up every now and then. Offer something different every now and then. They always eat the same things.

20/08/2025: A family lunch on August 15th...as on any other occasion, the meal was excellent, especially considering the large number of people. The appetizers were excellent, with a wide selection, and the first and second courses were also very good. All this was accompanied by the kindness of the owners. Congratulations!

28/08/2025: I have to say, it was a wonderful experience. The food was delicious, well presented, and of excellent quality. Everything was delicious, though perhaps a small flaw was the outdoor tables, which, even though covered, felt like they were on the street, and the sidewalk nearby was still dirty. Also, since we have a small 3kg dog, they chose to seat us outside and not give us a table inside. It's a shame, but overall, the food was excellent and the staff were very professional.

26/08/2025: I'm so happy I chose to dine at this restaurant. The ingredients are incredibly fresh and cooked to perfection. "Tastes of times gone by." I chose the tasting menu, which includes two appetizers, a first course, a second course, and a dessert—a true explosion of flavors. Compliments to the chef and the staff. I found their professionalism, attention to detail, and above all, excellent food. Congratulations. I'll definitely be back! 🤗
