I migliori ristoranti di cucina italiana in Calabria

29/08/2025: We visited this restaurant in the middle of August. We ordered appetizers and main courses for the entire table. The quality of the fish seemed good, and we were also satisfied with the preparation. But there are a few things I'd like to suggest, both to improve the service in one of the most beautiful places in Calabria and because I believe the experience often matters more than the food itself. 1. In a seafood restaurant, if I order water and pay €4 (or €3, I don't remember exactly), I expect a glass bottle, not a plastic one!!! 2. When the dishes arrive, I expect them to come out of the kitchen at the same time, but instead the main courses arrived at different times, forcing one diner to wait while the others had to start eating to prevent the dish from getting cold; 3. At 10:10 PM on the week of August 15th, when the restaurant was barely full, they were still serving appetizers to other tables. When we asked for the dessert menu, we absolutely couldn't hear ourselves being told, at a table of four, "We only have TWO slices of fruit tart left for dessert." This is honestly unacceptable. 4. The music: as soon as we sat down, we asked for the volume to be turned down because it was decidedly loud. But even if we wanted to turn it off, Elodie and co. might listen to the radio while dining in a restaurant, and at an unpleasant volume. I repeat, these are criticisms I'm making to try to improve, since I think you have a lot of potential, but honestly, the experience, despite the food, wasn't the best.

21/08/2025: We went to eat at this restaurant in the center of Diamante. I ordered cold octopus as an appetizer, but it was so tough I could barely chew it. Then I ordered scialatielli, which were cold, and the pasta was overcooked. To finish, we asked for the dessert menu, but they no longer had any desserts available. The only thing I was satisfied with was a nice bottle of Rosé! The waiters weren't very helpful! The quality/price ratio was poor! I wouldn't recommend it!

17/08/2025: Nothing to say about the structure, beautiful and welcoming, the same thing I would not say about the owner, who labeled us as lower-end customers because we booked through DLT, despite having compared the prices with those who had booked in the structure, and having received the same treatment as us.

08/08/2025: It's always a pleasure to return! The cuisine and service are flexible and always ready to meet our guests' needs. Kudos to the owner Domenico and the head waiter Roberto, a true professional! Rossella and Gina are also welcoming and kind.

15/08/2025: Superlative pizza. Excellent service, friendly staff. Thanks for the evening.

03/10/2025: We had Pizza Sapori della Sila and Pizza Frutti di mare. Both were generously topped and very, very tasty. The house white wine was also good. Service was quick. We'd be happy to go back.

15/09/2025: Among the best in the area, offering excellent value for money. Excellent cuisine with a healthy dose of Calabrian flair. The pizza is also good. In any case, you can tell they use high-quality ingredients and raw materials. The wine selection is also truly excellent.

07/10/2025: Excellent food, very clean place, attentive and knowledgeable staff. Recommended.

12/09/2025: Well... Elegant, vintage atmosphere, very unique but pleasant I'd say. Good service and good food too. I can't give the food 5 stars because it was missing that certain something... I'll go back because I want to understand better. But I say it's worth a try.

21/08/2025: A fantastic evening at Kalua Restaurant! We dined here as a family and had a truly wonderful time. Nicodemo, as always, was a guarantee of quality and friendliness, and his service was impeccable. The fish dishes were excellent, fresh, and expertly prepared; every bite was a unique tasting experience. The service from the ladies was fantastic, friendly, and efficient; they made our evening even more special. I highly recommend Kalua Restaurant to anyone looking for a high-quality experience and friendly service. A place where you can eat well and spend a pleasant evening with friends.

30/09/2025: Reasonable prices (I don't know who put €€€ in the rating) and very fresh fish, friendly owners and staff. I stopped for takeout fried fish for two people, paying by weight and obviously less than at the table, but it was delicious. It's a shame I couldn't stop by for dinner; the best places are at the end of the holidays... Highly recommended. Update September 2025. Prices have indeed gone up, a bit expensive compared to other fishmongers in the area.

24/09/2025: It said open until 3pm, we arrive at 1pm they are eating, they say they are not open 🙃🫠👍
