I migliori ristoranti di cucina italiana in Calabria

02/11/2025: Very kind staff, average food but special like the linguine with clams and taralli, average prices

29/10/2025: A small tavern in the center of Catanzaro Lido, offering simple local dishes.

27/10/2025: A true gem for seafood lovers! As soon as you enter, you immediately sense the attention to detail: the refined yet welcoming atmosphere, the scent of the sea that immediately invites you to relax. The staff is friendly, knowledgeable, and always attentive without ever being intrusive. The menu recommended by Enzo, the owner, is a journey through authentic flavors and creativity. Each dish speaks of the sea with balance and passion: the freshest raw fish, and main courses that combine tradition and innovation. The portions are just right, the quality is top-notch, and the presentation is meticulously crafted. All at a more than fair price considering the quality of the service and the ingredients. An experience I recommend without hesitation—perfect for a romantic dinner, a special evening, or simply to indulge in the pleasure of fine dining. Kudos to the entire staff: a restaurant that transforms seafood into pure emotion.

09/09/2025: Probably the best tomato sauce I've ever had. I'd love to know the recipe for this gem :D Great place and fantastic food at a decent price. It feels like this place deserves a special mention. The service is also friendly and attentive. Highly recommended, especially for lunch :)

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.

17/11/2025: Recommended for the food, service, location, and price. A positive experience. I'll be back.

10/11/2025: We had lunch at this place on the recommendation of a passerby, a really nice discovery, with carefully prepared and very good dishes.

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

14/10/2025: We had a very good dinner, the food was good and the service was good.

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.

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.

15/11/2025: Pizzeria and grill restaurant combined? It's possible. A large restaurant and a small, yet equally welcoming, tavern. We were a group of 10, and the pizzas were excellent, as were the ingredients. I had a gourmet Mediterranean pizza, with refined, excellent ingredients. The fries were different from the usual standard, made with crispy skins and different from the usual pre-cooked ones. A good selection of beers. We didn't try the meat, but the grill and the owner made us want to try it. Recommended!

14/11/2025: Beautiful place, exquisite staff like the dishes they served us, kind and attentive to everything, I recommend it and we will be back soon ❤️

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!

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 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏

19/10/2025: Is it possible that a restaurant loses a customer for 15.00? I went to lunch with my daughter at this restaurant, and I returned a clam-based first course because it was tasteless, salty, and had sand in it. I've already returned a dish I didn't like at restaurants I frequent, but this is the first time I've paid for it. What bothers the customer is the response: "Other people don't complain, it's a matter of taste." Is that a response? Kindness and intelligence are essential in a good restaurant. A terrible experience, one to forget.

12/09/2025: Impeccable customer service and truly exquisite dishes. As I review the place, I think back to what we enjoyed last night and my mouth is still watering. Congratulations, guys! We'll be back as soon as possible!

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.

17/10/2025: I've eaten at this restaurant several times, and each time has been an exceptional experience. The fish is always incredibly fresh and impeccably cooked, with great attention to detail. My favorite first course is undoubtedly the paccheri with red shrimp and almonds: a balanced, fragrant, and truly delicious dish. Friendly staff and prompt service, a refined atmosphere, and a splendid sea view. One of the best seafood restaurants in the area, highly recommended for those who love authentic, quality cuisine.

28/08/2025: Fresh and generous appetizers, friendly and helpful staff, and a wonderful sea view. Highly recommended.

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.

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.
