I migliori ristoranti di cucina italiana in Calabria

23/08/2025: We had dinner here with a group of friends after rafting. The atmosphere is very relaxing, you feel right at home, thanks in part to the warm welcome from the owners. They were incredibly kind and hospitable, and we felt truly at ease. The pizzas were delicious. We hope to return soon!

20/08/2025: We stumbled upon this family-run restaurant. There were eight of us, including four children. We sat outside and were greeted with excellent house bruschetta. The menu features very few typical local dishes, all truly delicious! We met wonderful people, who were very attentive to service. We had such a great time, so much so that we returned the next evening.

10/10/2025: This was close to where I was staying, so we went twice. The food was excellent. The new owners have redone the place and the appearance is very pleasing. There is almost always a party or wedding on weekends, which adds to the festive atmosphere. I had the seafood, and the pizza. Both were done to perfection.

19/09/2025: What a wonderful place in the South! We came for a family event, and from first glance, it seemed like a charming place. This impression was confirmed immediately when we were greeted. The entire staff is always helpful and attentive, which made us feel truly welcome. We enjoyed pizza and fries, simple choices that allowed us to appreciate the excellent cuisine. The fries were truly delicious! They are very organized, and there's a pleasant sound that alerts the staff when an order is ready. This is a level of service I've never seen anywhere else.

16/09/2025: Very tasty ice cream of good quality

12/09/2025: Unfortunately, the granita and brioche didn't convince me; perhaps it was just a bad day or the flavors weren't right. Maybe I'll come back to try other variations, hoping for a better experience.

20/09/2025: The best sandwich you can eat in Villa San Giovanni In front of the train station while waiting for the train 😁 Extremely friendly and professional owner High-quality ingredients Not to be missed

13/09/2025: Welcoming and friendly place. Quality local products. Highly recommended.

30/08/2025: An excellent pizza, with a thick crust, served quickly and courteously. Very generous portions at reasonable prices. Highly recommended!

26/08/2025: Excellent pizza, excellent beer, impeccable service

26/08/2025: Delicious fish and seafood. The tiramisu mousse is a masterpiece. Located on a side street, the place is very quiet and intimate.

24/08/2025: A trattoria on paper that actually hides a top-quality restaurant. Fresh, high-quality food, excellently cooked, from appetizers to dessert. Family-run, simple, courteous, and discreet. Don't miss this place if you're passing through Rossano!

28/09/2025: Giant cutlet with chips, good and excellent price (10 euros per person)

14/09/2025: I recommend this fast food restaurant because it serves quality products at reasonable prices. The bread, meat, and sauces are all homemade. The owner is very kind and helpful. The service was quick and the place was quiet. Takeout is available.

17/10/2025: Very good and freshly prepared paninis with a large selection

20/09/2025: I'm sorry to have to write this review, but I feel it's my duty to those who, like me, rely on reviews to choose where to eat. I visited this local sandwich shop with high expectations, but unfortunately, the experience was disappointing in every way. The staff, though adequately staffed, proved completely uncoordinated, with inexplicable wait times even when there were no customers. The sandwiches? Barely worthy of the name. The toppings were almost invisible, hidden between two slices of bread that, alone, could have told a more interesting story than the contents. All this was offered at exorbitant prices, far out of proportion to the quality and quantity offered. But what is most striking—and negative—is the attitude: an unjustified arrogance, a presumption that almost makes the customer seem like an intruder rather than a guest. I'm sorry to say this, but there's no need for improvement here: we need to start from scratch, with humility, awareness, and respect for those who choose to spend their time and money with you.

25/08/2025: What can I say about this place? I had the pleasure of staying one night in Cosenza and dining at Mostò, chosen on the recommendation of some people I met by chance. It was a truly pleasant experience. Aside from the excellent quality of the food I enjoyed (they accommodated my request, even though it wasn't allowed on the menu), I appreciated the kindness and helpfulness of the owner and her employees, who demonstrate a love for their work and a special attention to their customers. The atmosphere is intimate, and you feel perfectly at ease despite the presence of other patrons. It has all the makings of a success, and that's what I sincerely wish for everyone who works with the business.

21/08/2025: A restaurant right in the city center, the staff was welcoming and kind (we felt right at home). We were treated to a very good entree: we had gnocchi (really good, with a delicate and perfectly balanced flavor), roasted cod (delicious), and grilled caciocavallo silano with mushrooms (special, especially if you love cheese). The rosé wine was very good. Very good value for money considering the quality of the ingredients.

24/08/2025: We visited this restaurant-pizzeria the other evening: an overall mixed experience. The pizza is truly excellent: light, well-leavened, and very digestible dough, with fresh, quality ingredients that are noticeable from the first bite. Truly one of the best pizzas in the area. Unfortunately, the service doesn't live up to the cuisine. We arrived at 8:35 PM, but our order wasn't taken until 9:10 PM, and in the meantime, we watched waiters serve customers who arrived after us. Our pizzas were finally brought to us at 9:50 PM: a long and frustrating wait that partially ruined the enjoyment of the evening. I understand the restaurant is busy, but serving a table after an hour and 15 minutes of waiting isn't fair, especially since customers who arrived later had dined much earlier. A real shame: with better service, it would be a restaurant worthy of a full 5-star rating, but this way, despite the excellent pizza, the experience is severely compromised.

24/08/2025: Very nice place, high-quality food, generous portions, and very friendly staff. The quality of the fresh fish is excellent.

07/09/2025: Very nice pizza and host. Had a gluten free pizza, thanks for offering this on the menu! Other pizzas were also very good.

04/09/2025: Good quality pizza for its type.

10/10/2025: Osteria dal Cousin is located in Dipignano and is a classic of Cosenza cuisine. The restaurant is historic, and the many photos inside testify to its longevity and iconic status, capturing all the important guests who have passed through. The portions are generous, and the food is exceptional. The meatballs, the antipasto, and the fusilli or gnocchi are especially must-try. Cesare is a warm and attentive host who effectively continues the restaurant's tradition. I highly recommend a visit 😁🍝🍷

06/10/2025: It's like being with family. From the moment you walk in, the owner makes you feel like the most important guest. The place is steeped in history; there are historic photos everywhere. We didn't read the menu, but we decided to let our "cousin" guide us from appetizers to coffee. Everything tasted as good as a lavish family lunch (or dinner). It's a shame they don't have desserts, but they promised they'd make up for it, so it'll be an opportunity to try their cuisine again. Special mention goes to the meatballs, the best I've had in a long time. We'll be back; see you soon, cousin.

05/09/2025: Excellent restaurant, the food is good and the price is average, recommended.

19/08/2025: The food is excellent, the service is excellent, and the staff is courteous and professional. Highly recommended.

04/10/2025: Very central location and good rooms Decent breakfast

30/09/2025: Perfect location, newly renovated room, friendly staff, Riviera-style hospitality. Perfect, highly recommended.

07/10/2025: A very good restaurant with very good fresh products! The wine is very good, the service is quality and the setting is really pretty. I recommend it and I will come back.

24/09/2025: We ordered an Aperol Spritz and they brought us another brand that looked more like Campari, since my wife doesn't drink it. They mixed it with a very good wine, it must be said, but it wasn't. I told them twice that it wasn't Aperol. The French fry mix was a 7/10. They never brought us the ketchup/mayo we asked for with the fries. The truth is, we were happy and left with a bitter taste in our mouths... we would have eaten a pizza anywhere with water and not spent almost 70 euros on a terrible experience...
