I migliori ristoranti di cucina italiana in Calabria

29/12/2025: We had lunch and had a great time. We shared appetizers, including cured meats and cheeses, grilled mushrooms, bruschetta, and carpaccio, and then each chose a different first course. Everything was delicious, and the staff was very kind and courteous. They managed to satisfy everyone, not to mention that this lunch ended with the first snowflakes falling, so what better setting and ending? Highly recommended.

22/11/2025: The rooms are extremely clean, as is the hotel itself. The service is attentive and professional. The hotel is located in the center of town. I wanted to share with you some of the restaurant's truly delicious dishes! Everything is excellent and top-quality.

05/01/2026: The restaurant is well-maintained, both inside and out. The interior is intimate and comfortable, making it a perfect spot for a quiet meal. The ingredients are undeniably high-quality and very well-prepared. The menu offers a wide range of options for every need and is very well-structured. The staff is undeniably knowledgeable, but in my opinion, a bit too customer-focused. I was also very impressed with the quality-price ratio, which was likely partly due to the month of my visit, which was in the dead of winter. A must-try. I highly recommend it.

03/01/2026: Fantastic seafood restaurant in the heart of Pizzo. We started with a fragrant peppered mussel stew, perfectly flavorful. The shrimp tartare was incredibly fresh, delicate, and meticulously prepared. The spaghetti with clams was simply spectacular: creamy, balanced, and made with a lot of bread. And then the fried fish... incredible: dry, light, crispy, with top-quality fish. An experience that smells of the sea and passion. Definitely worth returning. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

21/03/2026: We had lunch on their beautiful terrace overlooking the sea. The staff were friendly and professional. The dishes were perfect and excellent, as always.

15/03/2026: Unfortunately, it was a very negative experience. It's practically impossible to book a table because they always say it's full. I even tried calling to inquire, but the response was extremely rude: I was quickly told there was no room and then hung up on me without even letting me speak. I understand that a place can be busy, but customer service should be paramount. Such poor service leaves a really bad impression.

22/01/2026: The food was excellent and the staff was kind.

06/12/2025: I've been eating their pizza by the slice, panzerotti, and arancini for over 30 years. There's no better rotisserie in the city.

09/03/2026: 17 kilometers from Falerna? Amazing! Delicious pizza, tender meat, authentic Calabrian flavors. The staff makes you feel at home, with smiles and generous portions. Fair prices for excellent quality.

28/12/2025: Brilliant pizza, but so easy to miss when driving by.

03/01/2026: Excellent experience, excellent food, friendly and polite staff, clean and comfortable place. Excellent value for money. I also recommend buying fresh fish. I recommend this place.

11/10/2025: Really good, really fresh seafood! Hard to go wrong eating here.

19/12/2025: We often dined at this family-run restaurant in August 2025. Simple yet authentic cuisine; the freshest fish, always caught by the owner—the octopus with potatoes is a must-try: it melts in your mouth! The view is breathtaking, overlooking the sea, with the colors of the sunset making it all the more evocative. The staff is incredibly kind: Caterina is always available and attentive. Thank you for everything! We hope to return!

31/08/2025: Amazing place, friendly staff, beautiful view. And.. delicious shrimps. Very clean area. Beach IS few Stairs under the bar.

30/11/2025: Fabric's cocktails are simply delicious: balanced, creative, and meticulously crafted. The atmosphere is welcoming, and the staff is always friendly and professional. Special thanks to Valeria, whose friendliness and attentiveness are truly top-notch. Highly recommended!

08/09/2025: A perfect evening in a truly refined lounge bar and restaurant. The atmosphere is relaxing and meticulously maintained, with attentive service and a staff that's always friendly and helpful. We enjoyed a delicious seafood and mountain appetizer, accompanied by excellent drinks. The quality, cleanliness, and courtesy were top-notch. It's one of those places you instantly want to return to!

29/01/2026: We stumbled upon this pizza restaurant by chance and decided to stop and try it, given the numerous reviews. The place is very large and crowded, but despite everything, they seated us in just a few seconds, so the welcome was excellent. Let's just say it's a meeting place for truck drivers, primarily, or people on their lunch break. But let's talk about what we ate. The portions were certainly generous, enough to make many people's mouths water, but often, abundance doesn't mean goodness. In fact, I have to give the first courses a five because (and I'm talking about what we tried) they were flavorless and not of sufficient quality to be memorable. I give the second courses a 7; yes, I'm going out on a limb here because I was very satisfied. For better or worse, you still leave feeling quite full. Quick service, a 7 Cleanliness: a 6 Bathrooms: wheelchair accessible, acceptable cleanliness. Ample parking. The place is wheelchair accessible. Bill: low prices Would I recommend going? If you don't want to spend a lot and can handle the TRUCK-SIZED menu and portions, then please feel free to come.

28/01/2026: The place, food and service were impeccable. Highly recommended.

14/10/2025: Good food at good prices. Friendly service; we've been there twice. I recommend asking about the pistachio cheesecake—the best dessert we had during our stay in Calabria.

09/10/2025: We ate here! Good service, good food. One of the few restaurants in this town where you can eat well and affordably. They serve pizza, pasta, fish, paninis, hamburgers, and much more. We definitely recommend this restaurant.

18/01/2026: Pasta with sausage and raw n'duia, burnt baked potatoes...

18/01/2026: Nice place, average food like in other good places but service too slow you can't wait more than an hour to eat a pizza especially when the place is empty

28/02/2026: Excellent food and service! Recommended also for the kindness and friendliness of the owners.

15/02/2026: Tasty and original toasts, huge, and delicious. Nothing like the toast we make at home—they're three times the size! The salads are delicious and always fresh. I also had the appetizers and sandwiches. Top!

03/03/2026: Excellent place. The food is good and the waiters are very kind. The manager, Santo, is special; without him, the hotel wouldn't be the same. I highly recommend it.

03/03/2026: Lovely place, professional staff. Santo welcomed us with professionalism and joy.

28/02/2026: I trusted the reviews and was wrong. The sandwiches were very greasy, as were the potatoes. The sausage was low-quality and overpriced. A 33cl beer costs €4 and they serve it in a plastic cup. There aren't even plastic cutlery for eating side dishes. The outdoor benches are appropriate for the setting. There's no service, as you pick up your food at the kiosk and bring it directly to your table.

25/01/2026: The very kind staff welcomed us and offered us refreshments in front of the stove. We ordered sandwiches with typical products, and while we enjoyed them, our gloves dried on the stove. A wonderful welcome.

15/02/2026: I went with friends to eat the famous "quadrara di maiale." It's not my first time here, and the quality of the food, the kindness of the owner and the wait staff remain unmatched. The local ingredients, cooked with skill and experience, make each dish presented a sensory experience that powerfully brings you back to the flavors of home and our grandmothers' cooking. How to conclude In Calabria, there are places like this where the food is truly good, and it's "necessary" to return.

13/01/2026: A magnificent traditional Cosenza lunch, a real "frittuliata" as it should be and at a fair price.
