I migliori ristoranti di cucina cucina calabrese in Cosenza

10/07/2025: Recommended by a local friend, simply delicious! We started with an endless mixed antipasto platter featuring local products, samples of cured meats, cheeses, meatballs, pork rolls, croquettes, and more. For our first course, we had tagliatelle with cod and crusco peppers, a highly recommended dish. For dessert, we had fried mezzelune (half-moons) filled with ricotta and cinnamon, simple and delicious. The waiter Mario was very friendly and approachable, and was always available throughout the meal. I also got to know the chef Giacomo, who recommended dishes for us to order; he was also very friendly and helpful. If you're looking for a quiet place to enjoy the view, this is the perfect spot. P.S. As for seating, I recommend the terrace, with a stunning view.

26/07/2025: Faccio i complimenti ai titolari , che se non sbaglio sono anche gli Chef . Venire in questo ristorante vuol dire assaporare la Calabria autentica, quella fatta di sapori profumi e materie prime che questo Bistrot miscela alla perfezione. Assolutamente, e penso di non esagerare, il miglior giro dí antipasti Calabresi offerti in questa regione Meravigliosa. Ci vediamo al prossimo Vinitaly in the City.

21/07/2025: Siamo andati con un gruppo di amici a provare questa trattoria molto rinomata per scoprire i veri sapori autentici della Calabria, e non potevamo fare scelta migliore! La Cantina – da Patrizia è un locale storico con 56 anni di esperienza. L’atmosfera è semplice e familiare, si mangia come a casa. Abbiamo assaggiato circa 12-13 antipasti diversi, in particolare: ·      Verdura ripassata; ·      Supplì di riso, sia in bianco che al sugo; ·      Polentine al sugo d’‘nduja, piccanti al punto giusto; ·      Olive ammaccate all’insalata; ·      Patate con funghi. Tutti sapori veri, genuini, niente fronzoli. Tra i primi segnalo in particolare due veri colpi al cuore: ·      Tagliatelle con fiori di zucca e salsiccia bianca sbriciolata: delicate, profumate e ricche di gusto; ·      Gnocchi con 'nduja e caciocavallo: cremosi, piccanti al punto giusto, sapore intenso e calabrese al 100%. Tutto preparato espresso, con materie prime del posto e rispetto per la cucina di casa. Il locale è semplice, rustico, autentico. Nessuna scena, ma tanta sostanza. Il conto? Una sorpresa! Prezzi onesti, porzioni giuste, qualità alta. Consiglio di prenotare soprattutto se andate nel weekend. Noi ci torneremo senza dubbio. Grazie Patrizia e Beppe, continuate così!

28/06/2025: The atmosphere of this restaurant is simply enchanting, making it perfect for any type of occasion: from romantic evenings to private parties, from wedding vows to baptisms, birthdays and other special events. It is a truly unique place, carefully cared for both inside and outside. The cuisine is excellent: the dishes are prepared with care and passion, in full respect of the Calabrian tradition, and you can perceive the quality of the raw materials in every course. The staff is always kind and helpful, with a special mention for the owner, who stands out for his professionalism, courtesy and hospitality. And this is precisely what makes the difference: the feeling of being welcomed with respect and attention. It has now become my point of reference for every important occasion.

11/06/2025: Lovely view. Typical products prepared in a sublime way. Since it was my first time there, I will make sure to return. From the large windows you can enjoy an enchanting view. Excellent.

10/08/2025: Great place, wonderful atmosphere, very committed staff and delicious food 🩷

10/08/2025: Excellent cuisine... As always!

02/08/2025: A truly pleasant experience at the Kamastra restaurant! The food is excellent, with typical local dishes prepared with care and using genuine ingredients. The authentic flavors of Lucanian tradition were a wonderful discovery. The prices are also more than fair, considering the quality of the food and service. We had a small issue, but everything was promptly resolved at the cashier with kindness and professionalism. Otherwise, it's a welcoming place where I would gladly return.

02/08/2025: Multi-ethnic, friendly and professional staff

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.

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.

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

10/07/2025: It was a great experience, thanks to Barbieri family who are very kind and helpful

30/06/2025: I have been several times and the place is always very pleasant. Very kind and helpful staff. To return

20/07/2025: Sempre ottima scelta, buona la qualità degli affettati e dei formaggi degli antipasti, con tante buone verdure accanto. Buonissimi i primi, dai fusilli calabresi, alle pappardelle al cinghiale e le tagliatelle ai porcini. Ottima carne, sia il vitello che l'agnello scottadito. Buono anche il vino. Il posto è veramente bello e tranquillo ed il personale gentile e disponibile. Ottimo rapporto qualità/prezzo. Sicuramente consigliato.

15/07/2025: Aligia è da decenni un punto di riferimento per la ristorazione tipica calabrese nell'Alto Tirreno della provincia di Cosenza. Pranzare o cenare qui è anche un'immersione nell'arte, visto che uno dei titolari è un affermato scultore e diverse opere sono esposte nel giardino e all'ingresso del locale. La qualità della ristorazione è media. Variegato l'antipasto caldo freddo, con una menzione particolare per i peperoni cruschi e le altre verdure mentre i salumi e i formaggi hanno gusto indefinito. Non si capisce perchè un locale di tradizione come questo non punti su prodotti di maggiore qualità: in Calabria ci sono tante aziende artigianali che lavorano benissimo le carni suine e diversi caseifici di ottimo livello. Invece si sceglie di risparmiare, abbassando il livello dell'offerta gastronomica. Non male le carni grigliate. Buone le patate fritte. Ridotta la proposta di dessert. Eccellenti le birre artigianali del territorio, manca la zero alcol ormai sempre più richiesta viste le nuove prescrizioni del codice della strada. Rapporto qualità prezzo equilibrato.

10/08/2025: Gorgeous terrace, quiet and pleasant atmosphere. Good food, friendly waiters. I recommend the monkfish ravioli topped with yellow and red cherry tomatoes, excellent. Fairly priced.

29/07/2025: If I could add a star 🌟 I would. Excellent in every way, in a splendid setting. You really did a great job enhancing a place like that.
