I migliori ristoranti di cucina italiana in Calabria

18/10/2025: Mediocre food, less than pleasant atmosphere with rattling plastic tables. Major issue is non of the workers speak english or any other foreign language, not even Yes/no....the tone of the owner lets you feel like being scolded. Long story short not a place for tourists....

12/10/2025: The best fish steaks in Tropea at great prices and a beautiful view. We went here regularly in June and will come back in October... I hope they will be open with the same menu. You simply cannot miss it in Tropea.

31/08/2025: My friends and I called this beach club to see if there was a table for three. We were told we could go there within 15 minutes of calling. In reality, when we arrived after the 15 minutes indicated, we were told they'd seat us shortly, but it took an hour before we were actually given a table. Our order was taken by a waitress who wasn't particularly friendly, unlike the rest of the staff, who were much more welcoming. I ordered a mixed fried fish dish that didn't list sausages among the ingredients listed, but they were included in the dish. I personally don't eat pork, and if they had been listed, I would have had them removed before ordering. For me, it wasn't a big problem, but for someone with allergies or sensitivity to meat, it would have been more of a hassle; simply pointing them out would have been enough.

28/08/2025: We visited this place today with my friend and we absolutely loved everything. Unfortunately, the staff didn’t speak English, but it wasn’t a problem at all — we still managed to place our order without any issues. Everything was served quickly and smoothly, and the waiters were pleasant and friendly. They even helped us choose the perfect wine for the evening, which we truly appreciated. The atmosphere of this place is incredibly charming, and it definitely deserves a visit.

04/09/2025: A shabby restaurant, but it would be overlooked if the food was good. Over-frozen fish and spoiled mussels passed off as fresh. We were all disappointed! Everything was brought to the attention of the staff! The staff noted and confirmed the poor quality of the product and dismissed the matter by telling the kitchen they would report it. After that, nothing! Total indifference! Avoid this experience!

19/08/2025: The waiters and pizza chefs are yelling, the bread is hard and at least two days old, I ordered Coke twice and it never arrived, the dish arrived 45 minutes after I ordered it (a fried dish, and the place was half empty), the waiters forget things. Less than zero

30/08/2025: We sat down in the square in August at 8:45 PM, 11 of us. Orders were taken piecemeal and served haphazardly: first food without drinks, then half-finished drinks, and finally—when everyone had already finished—our celiac friend's gluten-free pizza, which he ate alone. Bread never arrived, drinks forgotten, pizzas from those who hadn't eaten never seen, despite numerous promises of preferential passage of our order (perhaps for the next day). The menu stated that a platter was "minimum for two people" at €32, but the staff's explanation was a puzzle: when we said there were eight of us, we were told that four platters was not enough; when we ordered five, we discovered that the platters were actually charged "per person" and not "per couple." In fact, the "platter for eight" had five pieces of each, so three people were left to watch. The menu was poorly written, and the order management was even worse. One of us, after being told several times that the pizza we'd chosen from the menu wasn't available, had to impatiently ask them to decide which pizza was available. The service was surreal: a single waiter (presumably the owner) would take the orders, leave them unfinished, and disappear for long minutes, while the others watched. When we complained, the owner never admitted a mistake: he told us that "you must have misunderstood, or I misunderstood," and urged us to stay calm "because I even gave you a front-row table to watch the concert," all with a joke that was more than out of place. Final justification? "It's chaotic in August, and it's a special night." With the square full but only 50 people in the dining room, it's pure incompetence; the chaos wasn't in his restaurant: if you don't know how to manage, you reduce the seating. In the end, we paid €20 each, including those who didn't eat. Disorganized, slow, arrogant, and even ironic about complaints: a disaster to be avoided!

14/08/2025: We ordered two pizzas, a Margherita and a Diavola with 'nduja, and were pleasantly surprised by their melt-in-your-mouth crust! The owner was incredibly kind and friendly, and we even met the pizza chef and congratulated him in person. This will definitely be our go-to pizzeria for our next trips to Palmi! Greetings from the Syracusans!! Sara and Gioele

24/08/2025: All pizzas available as gluten free, vegan (no cheese) by request. Very affordable & thin pizzas , went 3 times while my stay in the area, ideal for lunch & snack.

12/06/2025: A stone's throw from the central station, very kind and helpful staff. Very good gluten-free pizza and sfriti served without waiting too long

04/10/2025: This place is okay for pizza. We didn't enjoy the antipasti and other main courses as much. The service could be friendlier. The ambiance is very spartan.

15/09/2025: Fresh fish, traditional dishes and seasonal vegetables, an excellent address for lovers of good food.

14/09/2025: We ordered tortellini once and a 4-course meal once. The food was delicious and seemed to be completely homemade. We were here outside of school holidays, and the food arrived quickly enough. The portions are large. Unfortunately, we couldn't finish it all. I absolutely don't understand why several people here describe the food as bad. Give "La locanda del re" a try 🙂! It's worth it. Attached is a photo of the appetizer platter.

05/09/2025: There were two of us, so we ordered an appetizer and two gnocchi alla sorrentina. Everything was delicious, with plenty of choice, and especially the option of a set menu that offered a wide range of dishes, including coffee and a digestif, at a great price. The restaurant is visually distinctive, but we ate outside. It was a truly evocative experience, thanks in part to the view of the magnificent castle. I would return.

23/05/2025: Terrible food. The octopus salad was horrible, so we rejected it and they did not charge it in the end. The fried calamari and shrimps were oily. The fried potatoes were ok. Stay away!

12/05/2025: Zwaardvisbruchetta beneden alle peil. 5 stukjes dunne toast met een smakeloos prutje pasta en in totaal 3 stukjes zwaardvis (op 5 toast). Zeer slechte bruchetta en belachelijk duur voor 10 euro! Uitzicht wel prachtig en relaxte muziek.

13/09/2025: The pinza is excellent, with fresh, good-quality ingredients... the service is a bit lacking as they tend to prioritize take-out, causing tables to be very delayed... anyway, an excellent experience.

07/09/2025: Excellent pizza, even gluten-free.

20/06/2025: Con la mia compagna abbiamo scoperto questo luogo fantastico accogliente cibo superlativo poi ottima carbonara veramente da Oscar consigliatissimo alta qualità complimenti ritorneremo

09/06/2025: Locale che offre prodotti di altissima qualità, vasta scelta e accoglienza familiare, consiglio vivamente a tutti di venire a provare la loro cucina e confermare tutto ciò.

17/06/2025: Top rotisserie and pizza, fabulous. Highly recommended!!!

08/05/2025: The best rotisserie in the neighborhood. The pizza nothing special. Highly recommended for takeaway rotisserie.

26/08/2025: Excellent quality products, but for a restaurant... it's just not up to par. We ordered two appetizers: the one they bring is very small, but the bill counts as three. The first course was excellent, but then, after a long wait, we had to ask several times to get food that was almost raw and of poor quality. But there's the final surprise: the bill!

26/08/2025: Exceptional place! Incredible cheese platters, zeppole, bread, and nduja appetizers. The meat-based menu offers a wide selection, including Florentine steak, mixed grill, amazing burgers, and a variety of pasta dishes. I highly recommend trying the meat. The meat platters are brought to your table on a griddle with embers underneath, so you can eat them as cooked as you like. I recommend splitting your orders because the portions are generous.

22/08/2025: Great for a meal or a hearty aperitif dinner. Try it, the prices are very reasonable.

18/08/2025: After hearing so much about this aperitif, four adults and a child went to try it. It was disappointing. The platter was really well-prepared, but the portion that was supposed to be hot was cold, and some of the ingredients seemed old. I tried to mention it to the waitress, but nothing happened. When it came time to pay, since there were four of us, I expected to pay €60, but the bill came to €85. The end of the evening was spaghetti at Mom's house. My dear, as the owner, I would have bothered to at least ask why the entire platter was left, since I mentioned it to the waitress twice. But the next time someone says, "Let's go for an aperitif," I'll answer your way: "Let's go to Mom's for spaghetti." As for the extras, I'll tell you, I ordered them because my son didn't eat anything from the platter because it was all cold.

29/09/2025: Super fantastic fried fish, fantastic fresh fish, really compliments also to the guys who served us, super kind and professional 💯💯💯💯🤩🔝🔝🔝✨✨✨

10/09/2025: 5 tables, 1 hour and a half wait for a pizza

14/10/2025: Everything was excellent, from the owners, who are lovely people, to the staff, congratulations.

05/10/2025: I gave it 2 stars only because they've raised their prices excessively... 12.50 for a salad... I've been going there for over a decade...
