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.

15/06/2025: Il Conte di Melissa is a restaurant that enchants from the first moment. Located in a splendid Calabrian location, it represents a perfect combination of elegance, authenticity and hospitality. The context in which it is inserted is truly fascinating: a very suggestive place in front of the Aragonese tower. The cuisine stands out for the high quality of the ingredients and for the attention paid to the enhancement of local flavors, especially those linked to the maritime tradition. Each course is prepared with precision and presented with taste, expressing balance and passion. The service is impeccable: discreet but always present, professional but never distant. The selection of wines is also particularly appreciable, with special attention to local labels, which accompany the menu proposals well. In short, Il Conte di Melissa is much more than just a restaurant: it is an experience to live and remember. Recommended for those looking for good food, a relaxing atmosphere and a setting that leaves its mark.

31/05/2025: Good morning love basciur night Leo kisses kisses I love you ❤️

21/06/2025: Ristorante fantastico , in sala nella pace degli angeli , locale ben curato , si mangia meravigliosamente bene bene benissimo, una cucina attenta alle tradizioni calabrese, e soprattutto attenta alla qualità vedi prodotti , consiglio vivamente gli antipasti sono il top !!!

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.

07/06/2025: Infinite THANK YOU and true compliments to everyone! To say exceptional is an understatement. We had lunch on Saturday in complete tranquility and grace. Impeccable service. We enjoyed a seafood salad full of flavors in 3, two excellent spaghetti with clams and bergamot, squid with tomato sauce 'illegal' in taste, sea bass and roasted octopus. They also have excellent options for lunch for breaks and business lunches, as well as take-away for both lunch and dinner. A reality like this must be protected. True compliments to Francesca and her husband Carmine for the idea, the care and quality of everything. I'll be back very soon to surprise someone very dear to me.

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.

25/05/2025: Cibo ottimo,fresco e abbondante, il personale gentile e scherzoso ti fa sentire a casa , locale accogliente panorama stupendo, prezzo giusto consiglio a tutti

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

24/06/2025: Great, the restaurant was actually closed, but by chance I bumped into the owner, who, lacking other options, offered to cook for me! I was very grateful for that; the food was amazing.

15/06/2025: I had lunch at Baita with friends and family today June 15, 2025 ... I had been following it for a long time on fb, I was curious to taste the dishes and I would say that expectations were super satisfied! The restaurateur Giuseppe superlative, in availability, hospitality, kindness. The succulent dishes, the well-kept place. To return absolutely ❣️

22/06/2025: My wife and I went to lunch, and the food was excellent at very reasonable prices. The service was excellent. Highly recommended.

14/06/2025: Characteristic place with beautiful chandeliers of nduje and soppressate 😁😁😁. You eat very well and pay the right price. Very friendly owners. Favorite destination when I go to Vibo.

26/05/2025: Everything perfect. I was there a few nights ago. Education, respect, kindness and good food. Really excellent

19/05/2025: I didn't like it at all! And on top of that he ripped us off for €15! He puts prices on the menu and then they are different! Terrible experience.

25/06/2025: The owner is prepared (with excellent information on the area) kind and helpful. Breakfast with sweets made by the partner, amazing. Excellent value for money. We will return

23/06/2025: Excellent experience, suggestive location, welcoming rooms, very well-prepared breakfast with diversified choices, Roberto, the owner, is always available and reliable. Highly recommended

18/05/2025: The restaurant is located on the Cannitello seafront, it is very bright and tastefully decorated. The fish is very fresh and cooked, respecting its characteristics without altering its taste. All the raw materials are of excellent quality. The staff is kind and attentive. We will definitely return.

12/05/2025: Fully deserves its gourmet bib. Incredible carbonara from the sea and great creativity on the desserts!

24/06/2025: Good food but not exactly cheap. A seafood risotto, and a second course of fish, wine and water for two 90 euros... You can't keep these prices in a provincial town in a restaurant near the station... I paid the same price taking more in Rimini in a beautiful terrace on the sea for two.

17/06/2025: Recommended by a Calabrian relative who lives in the area. Very fresh and delicious fish, I had the grouper and my partner the mixed grill, a large portion of grilled vegetables, for me who am vegetarian - but I eat fish - a real joy! Only criticism... the extra virgin olive oil in plastic bags instead of bottles.

19/06/2025: Italy is not overrated, mind you, but we discover places with perfect details in themselves. We travel with our motorcycle, parked it in front of our room, enjoyed the perfect beach, and in the evening we had a wonderful meal at the fine dine restaurant with the perfect chef and team. It was so good that we made a reservation for the next night. We would like to thank the entire team.

19/06/2025: Masseria Torre di Albidona – An Oasis of Peace and Authenticity in Ionian Calabria Immersed in the green heart of Calabria, among the intense scents of the Mediterranean scrub and the reassuring echo of the waves of the Ionian Sea, Masseria Torre di Albidona reveals itself as a true hidden gem, a sanctuary of peace and beauty where time seems to slow down to allow you to savor every moment. From the first glance, the masseria strikes for its fascinating architecture and perfect insertion into the surrounding landscape. The ancient stone walls, expertly restored, tell stories of a rural past, while the outdoor spaces, well-kept and lush, invite relaxation and contemplation. It is here that the concept of "oasis in the green" comes to life: lush gardens and flowery corners create an atmosphere of serene intimacy, far from the din of modern life. The rooms are a hymn to sober elegance and comfort. Rest is guaranteed by an almost primordial silence, interrupted only by the chirping of birds or the rustling of the wind in the trees. But it is the overall experience that makes Masseria Torre di Albidona truly unforgettable. The management is an example of authentic hospitality: the owners, with their passion and dedication, welcome guests as friends, ready to share the secrets of the area and satisfy every need with discretion and professionalism. The cuisine is a sensory journey into the Calabrian tradition, with dishes prepared with fresh ingredients. Each meal is a triumph of genuine flavors, a hymn to the gastronomic richness of this land. The strategic position of the masseria also allows you to explore the wonders of the Ionian coast and the Calabrian hinterland, from the pristine beaches to the characteristic villages and nature trails. However, the temptation to stay and fully enjoy the tranquility of Masseria Torre is strong, losing yourself in a good book in the garden, a refreshing dip in the pool or simply admiring the sunset over the fields. In short, Masseria Torre di Albidona is not just a place to stay, but an experience to live. It is the perfect refuge for those seeking an authentic immersion in Calabrian nature and culture, an oasis of peace and beauty that recharges the soul and leaves an indelible memory. Absolutely recommended for those who want to unplug and rediscover the pleasure of simple and genuine things.

18/06/2025: They even left us a free gift with takeaway❤️

16/06/2025: beautiful place and you eat very well too

09/06/2025: A bit tricky to reach – but worth the effort! We were greeted with Prosecco and a welcome from the kitchen – we had arrived. The food was very good – including the wine recommendation. The highlight was the dessert: a fluffy pear-shaped cake topped with bergamot cream and then sprinkled with "octopus." It's a must-see!

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.

08/06/2025: Beautiful location, super delicious food and oh so sweet hostesses. Buonissimo!!

31/05/2025: We spent one night there with our camper. It's just a few minutes from the highway. The price was €20, including electricity and hot showers. The restrooms were clean and perfectly fine. The area is stunning. We had dinner at the agriturismo and were delighted. Antipasti, handmade pasta, meat, fruit, dessert, coffee, wine, water, and liqueur for €25. Absolutely delicious! The family was very friendly!
