I migliori ristoranti di cucina italiana in Calabria

12/02/2026: A welcoming and warm place. The friendly and polite staff made us feel very welcome. Various appetizers, including cod fritters, stewed cuttlefish, calamari bruschetta, tuna with sweet and sour onions, and much more... but above all, abundant and excellent quality. We didn't get to try the first courses because we opted for the fried calamari... which was also spectacular! We'll definitely be back!

28/01/2026: Very kind staff and owner. Located right on the sea, great vibes.

18/04/2026: Terrible experience, inedible pizza, raw and watery vegetables.

08/04/2026: Excellent and huge pizza. The outdoor seating offers a great view of the entire piazza. Fair prices.

11/01/2026: All the food we consumed, from the appetizers to the first and second courses, both meat and seafood, was excellent. The service was prompt and the staff were very attentive and courteous.

04/04/2026: the waiter manuzzù is very kind

04/04/2026: excellent restaurant, very nice, exceptional food

11/04/2026: The pizza at Sapori Bruzi? I must say it was an excellent experience! The dough is light and well-leavened, perfectly cooked and with just the right amount of crispy crust. The toppings are fresh and generous. You can sense passion and attention in every detail, from the kitchen to the service, which is always friendly and professional. The atmosphere is welcoming and pleasant, ideal for a perfect evening.

05/01/2026: During my cycling tour through Calabria, I stumbled upon the best restaurant of my entire trip. Spaghetti, wine, coffee with tiramisu, and finally limoncello – everything was top-notch.

06/04/2026: Having finished the French fries, a typical Sila product, on Easter Monday at 1.30pm, speaks for itself.

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.

29/12/2025: Surrounded by greenery, fantastic

17/12/2025: Very well stocked and more than reasonable quality/price ratio. Recommended!

26/09/2025: The place is beautiful and the food is good.

22/03/2026: Quiet atmosphere, excellent service. Delicious pizza with excellent toppings. I'll definitely be back.

07/10/2025: Everything was fantastic: the sea, the beach, the very welcoming structure. The restaurant and service were excellent. All thanks to the owners' professionalism and hospitality.

01/10/2025: In mid-September, my family and I went on vacation near Santa Caterina and had a wonderful time at the Lido. We were there almost every day, especially for lunch. We tried almost the entire menu, including the tasty appetizers, the delicious first courses, including the gnocchi made by the fantastic, unparalleled chef, the exquisite second courses, the highly digestible pizzas, the delicious side dishes, the ice creams, the desserts, the phenomenal Calabrian liqueurs, etc. Our family spent a joyful and peaceful time as guests of the Leto family and their serious and dedicated staff. They all work hard to make your stay in their company a pleasant one, always with a smile, with tranquility, calm, and serenity, with the backdrop of their sea, that of Santa Caterina, which sweetens and makes the presence in the Lido dei Fiori di Ciliegio invigorating. Well done, well done everyone, Ad Maiora 👏👏👏

20/10/2025: Good morning, Mr. Elio, I'd like to publicly reiterate my/our compliments for the dinner you brought us home on Saturday, May 7, 2022. Everything was delicious. You put a lot of effort into your work, and we were all very satisfied. Congratulations again, your restaurant will be my first stop as soon as I return to Gioiosa. Wonderful location! In the heart of Gioiosa! Everything was well-curated, down to the smallest detail! A true Gioiosan excellence! EXCELLENT food!

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.

21/12/2025: The trofie with pesto and shrimp, although such a simple dish, is even more delicious and flavorful. The mussels are exquisite, and then the grouper—oh, how good that grouper was... everyone was very friendly and available to answer any questions. Truly a beautiful place. Congratulations!

20/12/2025: Excellent restaurant with well-prepared dishes and excellent raw materials. Impeccable service.

20/07/2025: Dall’ingresso alla tavola, tutto è stato perfetto. Locale pulito e accogliente. La cucina è un vero omaggio ai sapori del territorio: prodotti tipici, freschissimi e piatti deliziosi. Il personale è gentile e attento, sempre sorridente e disponibile. Ottimo anche il rapporto qualità-prezzo. Torneremo sicuramente!

20/07/2025: We returned to Lake Ampollino in Sila after four years. We were surprised to find several pleasant businesses open, and many tourists, which doesn't detract from such a beautiful and enjoyable area to visit. We enjoyed the delicacies of the region, particularly Sila, at Bar La Botte, which we hope will grow, even if there are long lines to get in in the future. Delicious, well-prepared food: we chose the set menu of veal morsels, Sila potatoes, mixed roast pork, and pappadelle with wild boar ragù. The staff were welcoming and relaxed; it was a pleasure to sit down and enjoy their dishes. Definitely a must-visit; we'd be back!

09/02/2026: The artisan market formula works very well, the place is welcoming and the food is fresh and authentic. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

24/11/2025: Fantastic place to enjoy good food with friends! Local products and really friendly staff, who even offered us a typical Calabrian dessert!
