I migliori ristoranti di cucina italiana in Calabria

03/03/2026: A very warm welcome. Excellent quality fish and meat. A pleasant and calm atmosphere. You feel right at home. Generous portions and a fair price. I'll definitely be back.

01/01/2026: New Year's Eve dinner was ridiculous. They put us on a mezzanine, isolated from everything and everyone. The party, the music, and everything else was below us, while everyone else ate while we waited for our dishes to arrive, which arrived cold. This is no way to treat customers. The service was poor, inattentive, and I had the feeling that every now and then they remembered we were there and popped in. This is an experience I absolutely won't repeat!

14/10/2025: The owner is very friendly and helpful! Definitely worth a try!

29/11/2025: Booked with The Fork. Located in a super chilled little square with soft lighting and an elegant atmosphere. Helpful and professional waiters, food in line with the offerings of many restaurants in Tropea, fair prices, and excellent quality.

09/11/2025: There were four of us. The restaurant is actually located in a courtyard surrounded by old houses (some with their laundry hanging out to dry). A street musician came by and stayed for a full 40 minutes, playing incredibly loudly so we couldn't have a proper conversation. The service seemed to be competing with each other... even though we already had a waiter, the owner came by and started the entire order all over again... if only she had actually brought everything... The food was okay – not what you'd expect from an Italian restaurant. And it was expensive enough for what it was. So, not really...

22/10/2025: Very tasty pizza and very good service 😃

19/10/2025: Great night out. Highly recommended for food and drinks. Wonderful staff.

25/01/2026: Excellent service, accommodations and food, Tonino is fantastic!

25/01/2026: My family and I arrived in Nicotera Marina from Argentina to visit the town where my father, Jose Di Giorgio, was born. We stayed at the Hotel Nautilus and received a warm welcome from Tonino. We were given a beautiful and comfortable room. We enjoyed breakfasts with delicious coffees and fruit juices. For dinner, we savored typical regional dishes: swordfish, seafood, and fresh fish, all expertly prepared! It was an excellent stay, discovering a beautiful town with stunning beaches and breathtaking sunsets. I highly recommend the hotel and hope to return. Thank you, Tonino and his staff, for your hospitality and service; we felt right at home. Best regards!

30/10/2025: I found it by chance for work, and I can say it's all exceptional. For Welcome They made me feel at home Service Impeccable The food is like being at Cannavacciuolo Then there's Marco, what can I say (and helpful with everything) and a place run by the family and with love. I will never forget you....

24/09/2025: We were greeted at 2 p.m. on Wednesdays by a super friendly staff. The pizzas were delicious, and the complimentary focaccia-style starter was super good. Recommended 🤩

24/02/2026: It's a shame the menu isn't available online.

09/10/2025: Absolutely wonderful—we'd love to come back! Don't let the exterior look put you off. Mille Grazie!

15/03/2026: Wonderful atmosphere, fantastic staff (you don't feel like you're in a restaurant but at a friend's house). And a special round of applause to Chef Luigi Perrone, who turns every dish into a masterpiece.

04/03/2026: Excellent bar, courteous and friendly staff.

02/09/2025: Excellent experience, delicious dishes and helpful and kind owners

23/08/2025: Wonderful view, excellent food quality

09/01/2026: There are no words to describe Moko. A multifaceted venue, unique in the area. From the enviable cocktails (Gianmatteo's Negroni sbagliato will make you fall in love), to the excellent raw fish, to the selection of vinyl music. Whether you're looking for an unforgettable seafood dinner or a drink and a chat with the friendly staff, Moko makes you feel welcome. This is the place to be.

23/01/2026: A welcoming, spacious restaurant and pizzeria ready to satisfy your every desire. From the cuisine to the pizza, you won't be disappointed.

13/11/2025: Excellent pizza! Light, high-quality dough and very good ingredients. Recommended!

21/03/2026: The place absolutely needs improvement because I noticed a lot of neglect. It left me perplexed and unimpressed. The owners and staff were friendly. The dishes were plentiful and decent, but not exceptional for my tastes. For example, the spaghetti wasn't cooked al dente. I would only recommend much, much improvement in quality and atmosphere, including better lighting.

13/03/2026: This is the exact same review from about 4 years ago. The owner lashed out (yes, against it, it's appropriate to say!) against this review, attempting to ridicule an honest, albeit unpleasant, review by addressing them in the most truculent and aggressive terms possible. Today, exactly 3 hours ago, that reply to my review was edited!!! 4 years later, it was edited!!! How come? Why? 4 years later, they come back and remove that vulgar and inappropriate reply, replacing it with a few lines...of contrition!? It smells a bit fishy...it's March and the summer season is starting again! And the reviews, along with the replies, are starting to carry a lot of weight and serve as a good reference for those who come or plan to come to stay in magnificent Tropea. I suspect this (they also edited another reply to a negative review!!) is the result of a commercial strategy that has nothing to do with food and dining. If so, new patrons will be able to verify it. I hope I'm wrong and that things have changed today, for the better (truly better, as a fairytale location like Tropea deserves). I'm confident I'll find myself in Tropea again and will want to try their cuisine again, intellectually honest as ever, ready to retrace my steps (I truly hope so). REVIEW IN MY ORIGINAL AND UNEDITED VERSION FROM 4 YEARS AGO: "Think of the worst and that's half of what will happen to you the moment you unfortunately decide to enter this place! Fresh fish has never been in here! The reason they will repeat to you ad nauseam is that this mysterious artifact must go through a "battitura" process (a term in vogue here to define freezing!). The expert who will administer pearls of scientific-culinary wisdom to you is a certain Mauro, a tall figure with a mellifluous attitude who will try to distract you by serving you 2 plates of "reheated soup" that are at least 1 week old and will make you pay dearly and bitterly. You will be surprised to see that a grilled fish (that's how they call it), will taste like Findus fish fingers and that it will have neither head nor tail... nor fish! If you try to ask for a fish in salt (present on the menu) they will answer which unfortunately wasn't caught either because of the peach ban or, in the case of mussels, because they don't like the method of transporting them from Puglia! When you complain about the supposed quality/freshness of the fish, Mauro will tell you he'll report it to the chef! The chef? If anyone ever sets foot in this little theater! Last piece of advice: if you ever stumble upon this place, always ask the price of off-menu puatti (?) and check the bill (they double-charged the water)! Good luck everyone.

14/02/2026: Excellent restaurant, friendly staff, always available to answer our questions. Excellent, high-quality seafood dishes.

26/11/2025: Nice place with seaview. Seafood menu, with local products, and reasonable price. Good selection of wine. Friendly service. During the season, sure very popular and busy place.
