I migliori ristoranti di cucina italiana in Calabria

28/08/2025: If it were possible to give it 10 stars, I would. A property in the heart of Tropea, just steps from the seafront and offering every comfort. A gem. The staff is always helpful and friendly. I recommend it to anyone who wants to visit Tropea, enjoy the town, the crystal-clear waters, and stay in an oasis of peace. Recommended for both families and couples. Book now—you won't regret it!

19/08/2025: The restaurant is an excellent choice for those who love authentic flavors, especially Tropea onions, the star of a richly varied appetizer and two first courses, one of which can easily be veganized by omitting the pecorino cheese without sacrificing flavor. The staff is friendly and helpful, attentive to every need, and the owner was particularly thoughtful, bringing me freshly picked figs after noticing my interest in the ones next to the cake. The location is welcoming and well-kept, and the dishes are refined and flavorful. The experience was very positive and delicious, although the price was high, commensurate with the quality and attentiveness of the service.

11/01/2026: Kindness and courtesy combined with a healthy and excellent culinary tradition, Memories of the ancient culture of the territory. This is the truth about the owners of Masseria Capoliscio, Friendly and willing to share the flavors of home from their culture. Thank you, and we will return. But above all, the friendly and polite welcome. Thank you.

01/01/2026: A unique place, both for the view and for the kindness and helpfulness of Nicola and the entire staff. Traditional dishes reworked with refined presentation. Flavors and tradition, undisputed quality of products and ingredients. Highly recommended. Thank you, Nicola.

28/02/2026: I dined at Damì Restaurant and it was an excellent experience. Kudos to Peppe Scali and his staff for their great professionalism and kindness: impeccable welcome and attentive service. Extraordinary dishes, made with top-quality ingredients and meticulous attention to detail. Highly recommended!

27/02/2026: Excellent restaurant with attention to detail, well-presented dishes, impeccable choice of raw materials, I highly recommend it.

22/02/2026: Very positive experience, the owner's helpfulness was exceptional. Excellent food, and a fantastic location, especially for families with children. Highly recommended!

22/02/2026: We stayed at this hotel for three nights by chance, and it was a lovely surprise: a beautifully maintained and spacious property, impeccably managed by the owners, and where the food is excellent. The room was large and spotlessly clean, the breakfast was plentiful and full of homemade cakes, and the dinner was always varied and excellent. Right next to the hotel is a beautiful property, also owned by the owners, featuring a playground with inflatables for children. It's spotless and very well-maintained: a great way to keep the kids entertained after a morning on the ski slopes. Highly recommended.

22/01/2026: Our visit to Osteria San Francesco on June 8th, 2025, was a wonderful experience. Francesco welcomed us warmly and offered us seats on the terrace. I had the impression he was a little surprised that we wanted to eat there with 10 people. He immediately called his brother Massimo, who prepared the kitchen. Several other helpers also arrived to assist Massimo with the cooking. The Osteria is somewhat hidden away on a small, steeply rising road. The dining rooms aren't very large, but there's also a grotto, a room carved directly into the mountainside. Francesco and Massimo are very friendly and they made our evening truly enjoyable. The food, prepared by Massimo, was excellent. It's safe to say that the Osteria team knows how to cook. If we're ever in the area again, we will definitely return.

19/01/2026: A wonderful time was had! The food was memorable, authentic, and generous. The setting is simple and welcoming; I highly recommend it! Special mention for the mushroom pasta and truffle pasta 👌🏻 Thank you, See you soon! Original Thailandia 😂 🇹🇭

08/03/2026: We've been to Flag several times and have had the opportunity to try both sweet and savory dishes, as well as various beverages. Everything has always been delicious, refined yet impeccable, and made with top-quality ingredients. The place offers a chance to indulge in a slower pace of life and enjoy a conversation with pleasant background music. The staff is attentive and friendly. I understand that it's the only place in town offering such a high-quality, unique breakfast/brunch experience, but the prices are absolutely justified by the quality of the service. In many parts of the world, entering a place like this means paying much more. Thanks, Flag!

23/02/2026: Stunning venue. Ideal for breakfast, brunch, or aperitifs. I've been several times and had the pleasure of trying the avocado toast special, as well as the afternoon tea. A positive and refined experience. Friendly staff, especially the curly-haired brunette, always ready to entertain. The selection of flowers was excellent. I received a beautiful bouquet, prepared together on the same day. Original and unique flowers. The venue design is 10/10.

20/10/2025: We chose Palia's Hotel as a strategic base for exploring Calabria's parks by bike, and it was a great choice. Ample parking, including a covered car park, a private garage for bicycles (with tools for minor maintenance available), comfortable and clean rooms, and the kindness and enthusiasm of Roberto (the owner), who, along with his wife (an excellent pastry chef), recommended and prepared superb breakfasts for us, making themselves available for any needs we had. It's a shame they no longer have a restaurant, but the bar is well-stocked, and there's a large display of excellent local products you can purchase to create a wonderful memory of these beautiful lands. Thanks again.

20/10/2025: I want to express my sincere gratitude and appreciation for Hotel Palia's, and especially for its manager, Roberto. His warmth, professionalism, and friendliness made my stay a truly unforgettable experience. Roberto was always available and ready to help me at any time, making my stay even more enjoyable. His attention to detail and eagerness to please were truly appreciated. I highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a welcoming and professional place to stay. Thank you so much, Roberto, for your hospitality and courtesy!

22/02/2026: In the mountains near San Donato di Ninea, there's a mountain hut, Baita Malieni, family-run first by Luigi (the father) and now (with his father, but not necessarily) by his son Giuseppe. Both are exceptional, welcoming guests with the same warmth that's found inside the hut: finally, a truly heated restaurant/pizzeria. We ate delicious dishes: from appetizers to first courses, meat-based main courses, pizza, and desserts. There was nothing that wasn't a delight. Everything was divine. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

15/01/2026: All good and very varied, very professional.

24/12/2025: A welcoming and authentic place! Traditional Calabrian dishes and friendly staff! Special mention for the garden vegetables!

24/12/2025: Lots of kindness and professionalism and above all, authentic, high-quality food. You'll find all the Calabrian tradition, taken care of in every detail!

20/02/2026: Fantastic experience, like feeling at home, new and clean rooms, welcoming and knowledgeable staff. The food is a strong point, with fair prices and 5-star cuisine. It's really a shame to leave, I highly recommend it.

19/02/2026: Excellent wellness center, both for the quality of the staff and service, and for the size of the spa. An exceptional place.

01/01/2026: An excellent experience in every way. The location is stunning, meticulously maintained, and immersed in a truly pleasant and relaxing atmosphere. The rooms are spacious, spotlessly clean, tastefully furnished, and equipped with every comfort, perfect for a relaxing stay. The food was a real highlight: excellent dishes, quality ingredients, and meticulous presentation, everything truly delicious. Special praise goes to the staff, always kind, professional, helpful, and smiling, making you feel welcome and at ease from the moment you arrive. I absolutely recommend this property and will gladly return. Gruppo Bianco

28/12/2025: Excellent cuisine, a very romantic location with a panoramic view. Friendly and helpful staff.

13/09/2025: The employee, Davide Muoio, displays the menus in a deceptive manner when ordering. I asked for traditional fries, without the added fondue or anything else, and my receipt included four packets of ketchup and mayonnaise, for a total of €1.20 more. The problem isn't the negligible extra charge, but rather the way he's fooling the customer. I reported the matter to the person in charge, who justified his actions by saying he'd offered me three different options: fries with fondue, with bacon, or classic fries with the added sauces. That's the problem! I wanted traditional fries, without sauces, so he should have offered a fourth option as well… A chain this successful can't afford these low-profile games.

13/09/2025: I was traveling and when I saw the sign (mi'Ndujo), it caught my eye, and out of curiosity, I decided to stop in, without anyone having told me about it or having read any reviews. The staff was friendly and helpful, and the sandwiches were delicious, so I recommend it, and when I come back, I'll definitely stop in again. 😉

06/01/2026: As a family with my wife, my son, my daughter-in-law and my grandson

06/01/2026: The restaurant is well-presented, and the staff is very friendly, cheerful, and helpful. We had spaghetti with clams and mussels, and linguine with lobster, the latter, in my wife's opinion, superb! Then there was fried fish and a side of grilled vegetables and French fries. Water and house wine. Everything was delicious. We'll definitely be back this summer. Price: around €40 per person, but be warned; for four of us, we only ordered two fried dishes and two main courses. To finish, we had two coffees and two liqueurs.

04/02/2026: Dishes that showcase traditional local dishes and local ingredients. The service is excellent, punctual throughout and also in explaining the history of each dish. This place is definitely a favorite 🤩

12/01/2026: Very nice place, excellent wine selection. Very tasty dishes and impeccable service. Congratulations

05/01/2026: It is with great pleasure that I share my experience at this restaurant, which provided us with a truly delightful lunch. The day, spent in the company of my wife and a couple of friends, was made even more special by the enchanting scenery, creating a bright and relaxing atmosphere, ideal for slowly savoring every moment. The service is distinguished by a natural kindness and impeccable professionalism: attentive, meticulous, and elegant, yet never intrusive. Everything is enhanced by a pleasant touch of humor and charm, measured and intelligent, which contributes to a relaxed and authentic atmosphere. The cuisine is the true protagonist: delicate and balanced dishes, crafted around noble, top-quality ingredients. Each course is enhanced by excellent, refined, and harmonious plating, pleasing the eye even before the palate. Also worthy of special mention is the extensive and carefully curated wine cellar, packed with prestigious labels and interesting discoveries, designed to expertly and sensitively complement the dishes, offering pairings worthy of the gastronomic offerings. Overall, a wonderful culinary experience, where the view, service, cuisine, and wine cellar interact in perfect harmony. A lunch that leaves a lasting impression and one I can only recommend to anyone seeking quality, elegance, and a true passion for hospitality.

08/12/2025: Impeccable gastronomic experience
