I migliori ristoranti di cucina italiana in Calabria

11/09/2025: My boyfriend and I went there this evening for a typical Calabrian dinner! The staff were incredibly kind, the food was excellent, the ingredients were top-quality, and the portions were generous. Everything was perfect! If you're in the area, try this trattoria with your eyes closed. It's like eating at your grandmother's or at home, and the REAL Calabrian dishes. My compliments, because they are fantastic in every way!

11/09/2025: If you're in the area and want to eat REAL Calabrian cuisine, come to this trattoria. It's a special experience, as a true Calabrian tells you. Be wary of other places; the dishes aren't typical, but VERY TYPICAL!! The welcome and the raw ingredients are worthy of the name "CALABRIA." My compliments to everyone for the service and the dishes; I felt like I was eating the same dishes at home. May God bless these places again, because they are the soul of this beautiful region. Definitely worth a try; you won't regret it. Generous portions and EXCELLENT prices. Congratulations again, from the bottom of my heart.

05/10/2025: A renowned beach club in Villapiana. Even though it's the end of the season (only one row of umbrellas left and many of the facilities have been removed), I noticed the owners' friendly attitude and great courtesy. The beach club is a bit dated but welcoming. Everything about the beach and sea is fine. Worth a visit.

01/10/2025: Friendly owners, always cheerful and helpful. When we're in Calabria, we love spending our beach days here in late summer 👍🏼

05/10/2025: Perfect stay at Hotel del Lago! The location is truly unbeatable: right across from Lake Ampollino, just steps from the main amenities. The restaurant offers delicious, authentic, and carefully prepared dishes—a real treat! Special thanks to Simone, always available, kind, and friendly, who made our stay even more enjoyable. Comfortable and clean rooms, ideal for relaxing after a day exploring the Sila. Highly recommended for both a weekend getaway or a longer vacation immersed in nature!

07/09/2025: A relaxing weekend, great food, and safe walks along the lakeside

02/10/2025: We went two nights, and both time the food was amazing and reasonably priced! Dishes were all full of flavour and delicious. Very clean and welcoming. All staff were friendly! No menu in English, and staff had very little English, but we got to practice a little Italian, and they were very patient with us.

27/09/2025: Even supermarket pizza tastes better than this. The pizza arrived cold, and the tomato sauce tasted like plain, unseasoned tomatoes. Very disappointing. Addition: The service seemed polite at first but it was very unstructured, and we had to wait for the drinking far too long. The owner had to have his(!) food beforehand! Unbelievable!

28/09/2025: Excellent food, all very delicious. I recommend it.

20/09/2025: Risotto and tagliatelle with freshly picked porcini mushrooms that as soon as you eat them excite you with the smells and flavors of Calabria. A platter of cured meats and cheeses for two is super rich, ditto for taste and freshness. Add to that the restaurant boasts 50 years of experience in catering to true and authentic Calabrian cuisine. "I don't know who's writing this much." MANCULICANI GENTLEMEN, I LOOKED AT MY STOMACH. CONGRATULATIONS 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏

16/10/2025: Excellent restaurant, very tasty, top-notch service. We stumbled upon it by chance; we had a reservation at Alice's. It was a very lucky coincidence, though.

10/10/2025: High quality, good service, beautiful location. A sure thing.

27/09/2025: For us really authentic Italian place, kind stuff, good atmosphere, perfect octopus and meshed potatos. 🤍 Grazie mille

25/09/2025: We stayed in a residence not far from the fish market, and the manager recommended this place to us. Over our 8-day vacation, we ate there at least 4 or 5 evenings because we had such a great time. The fish was excellent, fresh, and well-cooked. From appetizers to main courses, there's not a dish I wouldn't recommend. The owners were truly friendly, down-to-earth, and helpful (and especially dog-friendly, which isn't a given). If you're in the Zambrone area (a 10-minute drive from Tropea), go eat there—it's worth it!

08/11/2025: spectacular setting, excellent service, fresh products, top quality/price ratio

06/10/2025: Excellent restaurant, excellent cuisine and perfect service. We will definitely return. The best seafood option in Corigliano-Rossano.

30/09/2025: I've found service like this in few places: the owners and staff were always friendly, helpful, and attentive to all requests, creating an almost intimate atmosphere. The menu is very varied, so it's almost impossible not to find something you like. I really enjoyed what I tried (the appetizer and the Ciccino grill). At the end of the meal, we were offered coffee and amaro, a rare treat these days; they offer various amaros, including Kordax, which they make themselves. The restaurant is located in a unique spot, making parking nearby difficult, but nothing out of the ordinary. I found some prices a bit high considering the offerings, but given what I've said before, I recommend the experience.

27/09/2025: The food was truly exquisite and the portions were generous. Everything was delicious, except for the stuffed peppers, which had a slightly unusual flavor. The staff was attentive and professional. The place was clean, and we didn't have to wait long to order. We'll definitely be back.

12/10/2025: Dinner with friends and family. Intimate little place. We ate fish. Fresh, well-cooked, with distinct flavors. It left me and the others truly satisfied. We'll definitely be back. Highly recommended.

06/10/2025: Very good food, I recommend it And the service is very friendly Thank you

09/10/2025: A rejuvenating experience! We had the pleasure of being treated by Tiziana and Raffaella, and I can only express my gratitude for their professionalism, kindness, and attentiveness. Tiziana is extremely competent and exudes calm and confidence from the very first moment. Raffaella's precision made every treatment a true moment of well-being. The environment is meticulously maintained, clean, and relaxing: you feel pampered and at ease. I will definitely be back! Highly recommended for anyone looking for a place to pamper themselves in expert hands.

03/09/2025: Maybe I'm wrong, but it's probably the best hotel in Calabria

18/10/2025: A wonderful experience, one I'll repeat. A very well-kept and welcoming place. Excellent quality products and highly competent staff. Highly recommended ❗️

21/09/2025: What a wonderful place! We stayed and dined at this beautiful farmhouse and were truly delighted with everything: the cleanliness, hospitality, beauty, and delicious food. We hope to return soon.

02/11/2025: Everything as we expected, delicious and top notch. Thanks to the owners Katia and Francesco. 💯

02/11/2025: I highly recommend this place, everything is good, the owners are very friendly and above all professional, the atmosphere is very welcoming, compliments to the chef.

05/09/2025: A quiet, family-run place. Fresh fish, beautifully cooked. If I return to Diamante, I won't hesitate to return.

28/08/2025: Restaurant across from the Diamante train station. Colori, the waiter, was very helpful and friendly. Slow service, an hour between the appetizer and the main course, although we enjoyed the fresh fish when they arrived. Price is a bit high for being right across from the train station - five courses €130 (appetizer, two main courses, fried fish, wine, and water).

29/10/2025: A welcoming place with excellent food at reasonable prices. The owner is kind and friendly, making you feel at home. Recommended for anyone who wants to try some excellent, traditional Calabrian cuisine. I stop here often when I'm in the area for work.

26/10/2025: A very simple trattoria nestled in the alleys of Maida, with tables set outside in the courtyard, creating a very quaint and informal atmosphere. The owner, Mrs. Graziella, is very friendly, helpful, and approachable. The lady serving is also very attentive to her customers' needs. The food is plentiful and delicious, simple and authentic. It feels like family. A wonderful experience, thank you.
