01/05/2026: Lovely restaurant with good service. It was nice that they went to such lengths to warm up the food for our baby. Our dishes and desserts were also fantastic! Highly recommended.

21/02/2026: A typical pizzeria/restaurant. The two times I went there, I always ordered a pizza that I could customize myself, and it cost €7.50. It was super delicious and very reasonably priced. Fresh ingredients and very, very friendly owners and pizzaiolo. The coffee and grappa were also delicious. Highly recommended.

15/11/2025: Excellent restaurant. I'm a regular customer. Always satisfied. Unfortunately, I couldn't find a table tonight. Next time, I'll book in advance.

23/10/2025: There were six of us, and we ordered different dishes: some pasta, some pizza, and a cured meats appetizer for everyone. We were very happy, we really had a great time. Highly recommended.

04/05/2026: We celebrated our little one's baptism. Everything was impeccable, from the decorations to the lunch to the drinks, but above all, Anna Maria's helpfulness... very kind and available from the first appointment for a quote...

05/06/2026: If you pass by Via Panebianco it is a mandatory stop

20/12/2025: Very disrespectful staff and the waitress takes food even if you haven't finished it. She threatens children a lot.

05/12/2025: Excellent pizza, lightning-fast service.

31/05/2026: We had lunch at this adorable, well-maintained kiosk with a breathtaking view of the entire valley and the sea. The owner was very friendly and helpful, and the service was excellent. The sandwich was made with quality ingredients and well-prepared, but it lacked a little more filling. The price was fair. I recommend it for a pleasant time in a quiet, cool atmosphere.

09/04/2026: Great place, great employees, Maria Number One

13/03/2026: In the center of Nicastro. Sandwiches served with chips, good prices, sauces are paid separately.

19/01/2026: A 5-star review, well deserved! I highly recommend this place. The atmosphere is comfortable, the staff is knowledgeable and very attentive to customers. Quality, expertise, and courtesy are three key factors that have earned my trust. The pizza is excellent, both in terms of the quality of the dough and its presentation. I ordered a white pizza with four cheeses. I assure you, it was the first time I've ever tasted such a good pizza: light, tasty, and with a refined flavor. Usually, in other places, it's always been pleasant, but the flavor is too strong and strong because of the gorgonzola. This time, the result exceeded my expectations! Congratulations again!

05/12/2025: Very nice, modern place, and I really like the style and decor. Located in the heart of Catanzaro Lido, just steps from the seafront, you can have a quiet dinner or an after-dinner cocktail. I really like the marble tables and the marble cutlery holders, which is unique. Unfortunately, I wasn't as happy with the food. The first time I had a sandwich... I had salmon, and my cousin had a hamburger... both were hot on the outside but completely cold on the inside. The salmon was still nice, but not overcooked. The hamburger seemed cooked and reheated several times because it was lukewarm and even a little burned. The second time I went back for the pizza, which was good, but a bit heavy in the dough. I felt full until practically the next day, and even a little bloated. This is not just my opinion, but also that of those who were with me. I came back a third time because I was invited by friends who were celebrating their birthday there, and they told us we couldn't each have a pizza (I don't understand why) but that we could do a pizza tour... now, as far as I know, a pizza tour is about eating pizza until you're exhausted... at least that's how I've always done it everywhere... instead, there were 16 of us at the table, and they only brought us 10 pizzas... which was basically barely a slice or two each. With fries, potato croquettes, and a few other things shared with everyone... I left quite hungry... maybe they ran out of pizza dough? Well, I'll try to come back, but for now, I don't feel like giving it 5 stars... and the stars that do exist are mostly for the location and the courtesy of SOME of the waiters... # The review above is from about 4 years ago... Update: I went back after a while, and it's improved... both in terms of food and service! The pizza is much better, the dough isn't very light, but the combinations are very good. I tried the pulled pork meatballs... good but to be honest I've had better... the meat was a bit dry and needed a drink, an opinion shared by the other diners.

05/11/2025: It's a classic Anglo-Saxon-style pub housed in a renovated old warehouse. They offer a wide variety of beers, both on tap and in bottles, from the best breweries. The owners are true beer enthusiasts, so it's a pleasure to sample them at the bar while talking to them about the characteristics and origins of the beers. The food is also excellent, with some rather unique dishes that pair perfectly with the beers. They also offer an aperitif dinner, which I haven't had the chance to try yet.

11/10/2025: Great variety of beers...great company from the owner and the service...I recommend it

03/05/2026: A truly excellent and innovative seafood restaurant, distinguished by the extraordinary quality of its ingredients and a culinary offering crafted with meticulous attention to detail. The wine selection is superior, with a wide selection from prestigious wineries. The desserts and fruit are simply spectacular, the perfect conclusion to a high-end dining experience. The service is impeccable: attentive, professional, and always customer-focused. The setting is elegant and refined, with a splendid veranda that evokes the feeling of being in a well-kept and relaxing garden. The table setting is equally elegant, demonstrating the meticulous attention to detail. A true gem in the city, ideal for those seeking quality, atmosphere, and a memorable dining experience.

30/04/2026: Excellent value for money. Generous and tasty portions. Very friendly staff. I wouldn't give it a perfect score because the location could be improved.

05/01/2026: La Contadina is located outside the village center, on a side street. Public transport connections are poor. For those arriving by car, there are a few free parking spaces available. The restaurant is simply and functionally furnished and offers both indoor and outdoor seating. The staff was friendly and efficient. The menu offers a sufficiently large selection of delicious dishes. The pizza was very good, absolutely delicious! Prices are average for the area, and the portion sizes were generous. I can recommend La Contadina.

07/12/2025: The best. The food is divine. The staff is very kind and attentive to the customer's needs. The dishes are super generous and delicious. Great job, guys. Keep it up. With love, Emilia and Vincenzo Cantaro.

03/05/2026: A well-maintained historic beach resort, with excellent hospitality from Gessica and Tonino. They speak good English, so guests of various nationalities, including locals from Scalea, are welcome, making them feel right at home. The restaurant is very beautiful and can also be used for events. The sea view is priceless. The anchoring beach resort is a guarantee.

05/04/2026: Beachside restaurant where we had the best Easter lunch. Staff was so kind and food was excellent and very fresh. Nothing beats a good meal and wine while staring at the ocean and listening to the waves !

09/09/2025: Cornetto Special 5* Worth to try it!!!

27/07/2025: First of all, the place is super clean, making it a pleasure to walk in and dine. The staff is courteous, friendly, and professional. I enjoyed delicious gelato and a brioche here.
