I migliori ristoranti di cucina cucina calabrese in Calabria

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.

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.

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.

25/03/2026: I had lunch today with my wife and son. The two waiters were very kind and fun with the baby. The first courses were very generous, and it's mandatory to mop up the bread with the bread! We'll be back. Recommended!

17/11/2025: Nice pizzeria in a historic setting in Rossano. Good pizza, good prices. Very friendly owners and staff.

18/10/2025: U Ricriju is Francesco. Unconditional love for his land and for traditional cuisine passed down from generation to generation. Genuine, locally sourced ingredients... Plus, it's a restaurant, but in his home. Try it and book in advance because he often travels around the world. Thanks again, a unique experience! Bravo!

28/02/2026: Calabrian excellence! The best 🍀

10/01/2026: A splendid restaurant focused on elegant cuisine, yet never ephemeral or superficial. Careful selection of fresh, high-quality ingredients is showcased on the plate without frills. In short, the best possible celebration of Calabrian cuisine, presented in a modern and authentic way. We loved the Russian salad, the octopus, and the grouper. The wine list could perhaps be updated with labels from small local producers.

01/01/2026: Stellar hospitality in Paterno Calabro. Highly recommended.

02/10/2025: The added value is definitely Alessandro, the host, who welcomes you and engages you with passion. The food is good, average I would say... the place seemed confusing to me, overall a positive experience.

01/11/2025: Delicious food, prepared with love. Friendly owner. We'd love to come back!

18/09/2025: Thank you, Peppe, for delighting us with your authentic Calabrian dishes on our last evening in your homeland! If you're looking for authentic Calabrian flavors, you can't miss dinner at Uliveto! I recommend the fileja with eggplant and pork ragù; the chicken à la mattone melts in your mouth, and the lamb is incredible! See you soon!

22/03/2026: A warm welcome, a truly delicious and varied evening meal, a family who loves their work and their customers. Unfortunately, there are only 9 accommodation options in spotlessly clean rooms. Views of Lamezia Bay. We'll be back!

16/02/2026: I stayed at Agriturismo E Turre and it was a truly unique experience. A special place where authenticity and tradition reign supreme in every detail. The cuisine is extraordinary: traditional dishes, prepared with locally sourced produce grown and processed directly by the farm. Authentic and intense flavors that are truly rare today. Without a doubt, one of the best agriturismos in Calabria. The rooms are welcoming, well-kept, and comfortable. The hospitality is impeccable: the warmth, attentiveness, and helpfulness make you feel instantly at home. Furthermore, the location is strategic: perfect for easily reaching some of the region's most beautiful tourist destinations, from the crystal-clear sea of ​​Tropea and Pizzo to the mountains and breathtaking landscapes of the Sila National Park. A place I highly recommend to anyone seeking relaxation, good food, and authenticity. I will definitely return!
