I migliori ristoranti di cucina italiana in Calabria

23/05/2025: Welcoming place, very kind owners and impeccable service… I have been coming to Polistena from Turin since I was born, and not even in Turin have I found such attention, especially towards children… many raw materials are local and the menu is truly complete and varied. Excellent quality but above all everything is really good! In addition to the restaurant, a great wine shop… those who know how to work and do it with passion also transmit it in the food, and here it shows!!! Congratulations!

11/05/2025: Donna Nela is one of those rare places that can truly be called "of the heart". I have been frequenting this little gastronomic jewel for years, yet every visit manages to surprise me as if it were the first time. Hidden from the daily hustle and bustle, the place is intimate and welcoming, with an atmosphere that immediately invites you to relax. It is precisely this intimate dimension that contributes to making you feel at home, a sensation further amplified by the warm welcome of Giampiero and his family. Their genuine passion for catering shines through in every detail, from the attentive service to the sincere smiles that accompany each dish. The cuisine is an authentic triumph of territorial flavours. The meat dishes are prepared with skill, enhancing ingredients selected with obsessive care. Even the vegetable proposals reveal the same attention to raw materials and processing techniques, always proving tasty and never banal. What truly leaves you speechless is the cellar: extraordinarily well-stocked and with attention to the smallest details, it offers an oenological proposal of absolute excellence. The suggested pairings perfectly complete the gastronomic experience, elevating it to higher levels. And finally, the most welcome surprise: the bill. Prices are incredibly low considering the quality of the offer, making Donna Nela not only a place to return for the pleasure of the palate, but also for the wisdom of the wallet. If you are looking for an authentic experience, far from passing fads and deeply rooted in true gastronomic culture, Donna Nela is an unmissable destination.

11/05/2025: Excellent quality food, friendly and efficient staff, I highly recommend it

11/05/2025: Very pleasant experience!!! Enchanting location at the foot of the beautiful Aragonese tower, on the promontory overlooking several kilometers of the Ionian coast. Excellent food with balanced combinations of quality 0 km ingredients. The wine list is rich, especially from the local area. It's really worth it.

02/06/2025: Great place. Very tasty food. Meat knuckle, fried meat and potatoes are almost perfect. The restaurant is located not far from the lake, but isolated among the trees. Fast service, literally sitting down at the table the waiter already brings snacks and wine. The choice of dishes is not very large but sufficient. Mainly meat dishes and dishes with porcini mushrooms. There are parking spaces on the territory.

02/06/2025: Great food and service in an area that, however, is desolate most of the year. It deserves more tourism, just to pay homage to its beauty.

21/05/2025: Sta il cibo buono; locale piccolo ma gradevole, cucina gourmet specializzata nel pesce. Ottimi le tartare ed i crudi. Primi di ottima qualità. Personale molto gentile e prezzo in linea con i prodotti offerti. Che dire da provare.

29/04/2025: I have been trying to come to this restaurant for a long time, but I have always found it full. In fact there was a reason I must say high quality truly impeccable service the place is very nice and the price/quality ratio is practically unbeatable. Certainly among the best fish restaurants in Rende and Cosenza.

25/04/2025: Pizzeria Welcoming staff The Gourme pizza with mortadella and pistachio is up to par, I vote 100 and I add another 100 to ANTONELLO WHO CREATED ALL OF THIS👌👍

07/04/2025: Unfortunately, probably the worst pizza I've ever eaten. The menu includes funghi porcini on the pizza and canned mushrooms on the pizza - disgusting! I like stamps, but not if they pretend to be real stamps.

19/05/2025: Local produce, phenomenal cuisine, breathtaking views and super friendly staff! Definitely a must try

10/05/2025: A memorable day! I hadn't been back to Masseria Capoliscio for a while and as we know, all the things we look forward to with joy create expectations. And I must say that they were fully satisfied. My kids had so much fun and as soon as we got back in the car they immediately started asking when we're going back! Lunch was a delight. Among the various appetizers there were cheeses served with jams produced by them which were an amazing combination. The first courses were also really good and I found the one with peas and dill very delicate which, with that particular scent, gave it an extra touch. For the second courses we went without too many doubts about the lamb because I haven't found one better than theirs yet. The desserts were also made by them and were very good and together with the fruit they were a really beautiful dish to look at. They managed to make a cute little duck out of a banana! Really compliments for the imagination! You are a spectacle! Salvatore, Nicola thank you very much for the usual warm welcome. You are exceptional hosts! See you again as soon as possible!

15/05/2025: The best meal of our entire trip and also the cheapest.

08/05/2025: Cozy atmosphere, delicious meat!

21/05/2025: Our group of cyclists arrived in San Donato on Wednesday 21st May. The owner, Mr. Luigi, opened the "Baita" just for us, preparing delicacies that satisfied our huge appetite! We were all really impressed by the availability, hospitality and friendliness of Mr. Luigi. Compliments for the beautiful place and for the love you put into every dish!! THANK YOU from all of us❤️

14/05/2025: Cucina di alto livello con ingredienti di qualità in un ambiente piacevole in mezzo a una natura fantastica. Non deve essere facile fare questo in una zona scarsamente popolata e forse non abituata a certi livelli di eccellenza, ma la goccia scava la roccia e cos' Giuseppe e luigi possono insistere. In ogni caso, grazie

29/05/2025: Friendly and helpful staff, everything on the menu is excellent. First choice dough and ingredients!

20/05/2025: The restaurant is located on the second floor, access is via an external staircase. As soon as you enter you notice the accuracy in the layout, you immediately breathe an air of welcome, small as a restaurant but very pleasant. The service is attentive and fast (I was very struck by the idea of ​​giving the children sheets of paper with drawings and colors, a sign that confirms their attention to detail)! We start immediately with a crocchettone and a mozzarella in carrozza (made by them) both delicious. Then the much vaunted pinza. I choose the one with fiordilatte, beef carpaccio, truffle, rocket, flakes of 24 month old Grana Padano... delicious, very light, crunchy on the outside, soft on the inside, honeycomb, a sign that it has had a perfect leavening and maturation above all, (the next day it is as if I had not eaten anything)! My wife instead had a Fiordilatte, Smoked Scamorza, Porcini Mushrooms, Speck Alto Adige IGP Sudtirol, Granella di Pistacchio, which I tasted and it was equally delicious. The only flaw if we really want but like everything it's a matter of taste, I didn't like the tomato on my son's margherita, a sweetish note, almost like tomato concentrate, which didn't give credit to the perfection of this dough. And I would add to the wine list a Calabrian rosé like Pescanera, which goes wonderfully with pizza. Definitely highly recommended, I will return. Congratulations!

24/05/2025: Everything perfect, my son's 40th birthday dinner, super good and genuine food, not to mention the cake, delicious... I love this restaurant

10/05/2025: Beautiful place, excellent service, very humble staff and very nice guys, fantastic food and very fresh fish.

26/05/2025: The hotel is built close to the course of a river, which provides a relaxing background. Our room (a double) was simple, clean and equipped with all the necessary comforts. We slept pleasantly, the owner was friendly and attentive to our requests. The breakfast the next morning was plentiful and varied, from sweet to savory with the addition of scrambled eggs made on the spot. The room overlooks the woods and offers a beautiful view. The parking area is internal and large. The structure has different solutions for bedrooms, from singles to quadruples. The location of the Hotel is close to the center of the village, small but folkloristic. There are some places open in the evening and we participated in a nice village festival in the square. Thanks for the hospitality, we will be back!

01/05/2025: We booked a quadruple room for the long weekend of April 25th, spacious room, excellent location of the hotel, private parking, Roberto the owner very helpful, he advised us on the best places to see and where to eat. When I return to Laino Borgo I will definitely return to Palia's.

15/05/2025: We ate here for 5 nights, dishes of excellent workmanship and quality, the owner Giuseppe, very kind and available always ready to satisfy our requests, you spend the right price. If you are in the area of Caulonia and surroundings I recommend it.

20/04/2025: Great food, beautiful environment, we will be back

21/05/2025: Questo posto è molto 1.. Tempi di attesa record è arrivato subitissimo... Panino favoloso.. Servizio ottimo... Staff gentilissimo...

18/05/2025: Highly recommended! We stayed here for Labor Day. The place is wonderful, both for the general structure (rooms, etc.) and for the restaurant and food. The Italian-Argentine waiter who served us dinner was a very kind and pleasant person.

13/05/2025: We chose the masseria to celebrate our daughter's baptism and we couldn't have made a better choice. Location, food and organization breathtaking. Staff kind and available for all our requests. The chef delighted the palates of each of us with fish, meat or vegetarian menus. Each of us was delighted in the same way. The service equally attentive and precise. Mrs. Piera with her precision for details and with her kindness stole the hearts of each of us. Very happy for everything, we will definitely return.
