I migliori ristoranti di cucina italiana in Calabria

08/07/2025: Without a doubt, one of the best restaurants in our province. The quality and view are undeniable!

07/07/2025: A beautiful discovery near Reggio Calabria. The restaurant is truly splendid, with a breathtaking view of the Strait and a very particular table arrangement inside a garden with Mediterranean plants. The cuisine is excellent, elegant, but substantial and typically regional. I really enjoyed the zucchini fritter, the red shrimp, the zucchini rolls, the sardines and the lobster pasta (the tomato sauce was delicious). The menu changes depending on the catch: synonymous with quality and seriousness. The wine list is rather short, but with some interesting regional selections. The service is nice and helpful.

08/08/2025: Very refined and welcoming location, very good food 😋 The service was impeccable. The waiter and chef were excellent. 👍👍👍

03/08/2025: We had a delightful 2 week stay at Exil di Nuovo. I would love to go back there and just stay forever! Giovanni, Angelo, and the entire Exil family are truly amazing and I miss them terribly since I am back in the USA. The rooms are lovely, very clean, and air conditioned with comfortable beds. There are wonderful amenities such as WiFi, mini fridge, and balcony. The food is absolutely spectacular!! I was so impressed with the freshness and beauty of each plate of food we were served. I definitely had some of the best food of my life while at Exil! The pasta with garlic sauce and chili oil was amazing in its simplicity and there was a roasted chicken dish that had unimaginable depth of flavor! Wow! The grounds at the hotel are beautifully kept; verdant with fruit, herbs, and flowers. The pool and lounge chairs are perfect for a relaxing afternoon! I loved sitting in the shade of the glorious grape vines and olive tree. I’m so sad that I will miss olive harvesting season, which Giovanni taught me, will be in October. Exil di Nuovo is situated a short walk from the beautiful beach and pleasant shops! My daughter was a student at the Fini Dance Studio just a block away during the Summer Dance Festival, and she had such a wonderful time! We were truly blessed to be able to visit Villapiana and to get to stay at the most welcoming place we have ever been, the Exil di Nuovo. I fervently hope to go back there someday. Much love to our friends at Exil and to Villapiana!!

29/05/2025: I go there every day, welcoming, very nice and professional staff..

13/05/2025: Excellent refreshment point where you can enjoy equally excellent house aperitifs in the two alcoholic or non-alcoholic versions. The outdoor tables in this period are a tempting invitation to spend some relaxing moments

12/05/2025: It appears open but instead it is closed. Unreliable

15/04/2025: The owner was very present and kind and looked after us in every way from the moment we entered the restaurant. welcoming place. excellent food, of excellent quality. we will definitely return

05/05/2025: I tasted the pizza and it is truly special and digestible! I highly recommend

06/04/2025: Very welcoming place, qualified and competent staff, I recommend the house starter, as recommended by the waiter, really good and complete, it practically filled us up.... We will return

02/07/2025: Everything was great, from appetizer to dessert. Friendly service and always smiling. Thanks for the little gift at the end (I was celebrating my birthday).

23/06/2025: You eat very well, the service is top! Typical cuisine with quality raw materials. Highly recommended

22/07/2025: Very good pizza. I had the Calabrian pizza. The pizza is very delicious and spicy. They make pizza in a wood-fired oven. Very good. A good pizzeria on the waterfront.

19/07/2025: A pleasant discovery while strolling along the Crotone seafront. Light-crust pizza, the classic good pizza from the good old days, where the pizza was tasty and full of mozzarella and ham, without any unnecessary gourmet frills. Fast service, even with lots of tables; we ordered and ate within 20 minutes. Recommended. Good prices, less than average.

22/06/2025: We had lunch for 4 and enjoyed all the courses (4 appetizers, 3 first courses and desserts). Tasty without overdoing spices and fats with balanced portions for adults. Fresh food and well-mixed flavors. Dishes without long waits, friendliness and experience.

02/06/2025: Imagine entering a restaurant where every corner tells a story from the walls to the ceiling. The cuisine is a perfect balance between tradition and innovation. The dishes are a tribute to classic cuisine, reinterpreted with modern techniques that enhance its flavors and textures. We have chosen the tasting menu with wine pairing. The staff, competent and passionate, guides with discretion and professionalism, adding a personal touch to each course. If you want to live a culinary experience that goes beyond a simple meal, this restaurant is the ideal choice. A place where the passion for good food merges with the art of hospitality.

27/06/2025: Delicious dinner!!! Really delicious sandwiches, super veal cut!! Kind and friendly staff!

26/04/2025: The top...excellent food, excellent service and a nice and welcoming place, very well prepared when it comes to gluten-free...excellent quality and price, thanks to the owner Carlo and all his staff

28/06/2025: The pizza is good (even gluten-free) but I stopped going there, they don't accept meal vouchers anymore. Pellegrini

26/06/2025: Great customer service, great food... Comfortable and very pleasant atmosphere.

17/08/2025: They place you just to occupy the free tables and without warning at 9.30pm they start telling you that they have the second shift but the customers are not objects that you seat and then throw them out. You warn them before making them sit down that there is a double shift so as to give the customer the choice whether to sit down or not. If you have been doing this job for 30 years, you are doing it a bit badly, starting from the management of the guests. It's a shame because we would have also tried the desserts but the girls at the entrance were obsessed with the second shift. If we had known that was the case, we wouldn't have even stopped to warn the customers beforehand that they are not just ATMs to make money but people!

22/07/2025: A welcoming restaurant in the center of Praia. Traditional ingredients with a few well-crafted twists. Generous portions. Fairly priced. Attentive and courteous service.

14/07/2025: Compliments to the Chef: quality and fresh raw materials, impeccable service, fair price for what we ate.

12/07/2025: Lobster (lobster) with pasta and tomato sauce, a marvel! As a nutritionist, I asked with minimal oil, which they followed. It is enough to ask and insist, if necessary, when restaurateurs do not always understand why. I sometimes take the time to explain that my diet is carbohydrate-protein but fat-free. Not easy to get this principle to be accepted, in the country of olive oil... It was, however, really succulent. Spices release aromas, which do not require oil. I really licked my ass, according to the established expression. My fingers were full... for a dish at only 25 euros! The (magic) lobster with pasta and tomato, a wonder! As a nutritionist, I asked for it with minimal oil, and they respected the rule. Just ask and insist, if necessary, when restaurateurs don't always understand why. Sometimes I take the trouble to explain that my diet is based on carbohydrates and proteins, but without fats. It is not easy to accept this principle, in the land of olive oil... But it was really succulent. Spices release aromas that do not require oil. I licked my mustache, as they say. I had my fingers covered... for a dish for only 25 euros!

17/08/2025: My mom and I stopped here for a quick lunch. The quality of the products is unquestionable, truly excellent. But perhaps we came on the wrong day because the staff didn't follow our instructions. We made it clear, and repeatedly, that we don't eat spicy food. The platter featured spicy salami, and the bruschetta with milk burrata cheese had flakes of spicy nduja on top, along with spicy coppa pancetta. One of the jams was spicy. We mentioned it to the waitress, who said she was sorry; perhaps they hadn't taken our order properly. If someone is allergic, I can't imagine. I was expecting a nice discount at the end, since we left unsatisfied due to a serious oversight, but instead they only deducted one euro from the bill. It's a shame, we won't be back.

16/08/2025: We stopped at Numa Prodotti Tipici today for a quick but satisfying pit stop. The place is very well-kept, with tables both inside and out, in a pleasant and relaxed atmosphere. The staff was kind and welcoming from the start. We chose truly amazing arancini, amazing battered caciocavallo skewers, a well-filled toasted sandwich, and a fresh salad, all accompanied by a craft beer and a glass of Cirò. What can I say... top-notch quality, generous portions, and authentic flavors! I'll be back very soon, because it's one of those places where the quality of the products stays with you.

17/08/2025: Small and familiar atmosphere, excellent quality of raw materials, courtesy and attention from the staff... excellent cook

30/07/2025: If you want to eat excellent seafood in San Lucido, one of the best places is definitely Tema, a small but welcoming place. I recommend making a reservation! Tommaso

31/07/2025: Great atmosphere. Seafood restaurant. Pizza only on Saturdays and Sundays. Prices for fish are medium/high. But it's good and well-cooked.

28/07/2025: We entered the restaurant and ordered a mix of hot and cold appetizers, and we knew right away that we'd leave super satisfied! After the appetizers, we ordered two first courses, each one better than the last. The owner, Angelo, is a wonderful person, very friendly and welcoming. We'll definitely be back! Highly recommended!
