I migliori ristoranti di cucina italiana in Calabria

01/10/2025: I wouldn't go back even if I were starving. The waitress, who I believe was also the owner, practically dictated what we were eating when we ordered. When I asked for the menu, she got irritated and replied, "You find menus in dives; here I only give you fresh food." She also started criticizing her age, saying, "How old are you? I'm 20 years older than you, you don't have to teach me how to run a restaurant." I tried to reply politely, "Excuse me, but why do you have to decide what I should eat? You're not offering me a meal; I'm paying for a service, and I just want to know what's available so I can choose according to my taste." As we continued with our order, we were told that she could only prepare a mixed appetizer and a single first course for everyone because a nearby table had booked earlier and "they needed to focus on them." An absurd reason, to say the least. I didn't want to reply or get up and leave, simply out of respect for the colleagues I was dining with: from that moment on, I remained silent. As if that weren't enough, I saw the same woman smoking in the next room, right near the cash register and the kitchen. Unacceptable. And to conclude: 5 appetizers, 8 first courses, 3 250ml Cokes... total €250. A terrible experience from every perspective: unprofessional, no freedom of choice, an environment with no respect for rules, and an exorbitant bill.

21/09/2025: Paid 54 euros for two starters, two first courses and water, nothing special, honestly the starter was of poor quality, I don't understand the price, given that on the menu I would have paid less, I won't be returning, the positive thing is the service, the waiters were super kind and courteous, shame about the rest

08/06/2025: Ho lavorato a Reggio per due anni... Ho scoperto questo bar e ho trovato un personale accogliente che ti fa sentire a casa... Dal proprietario ai ragazzi stessi professionali, educati, pronti a soddisfare qualsiasi tua esigenza... In particolare complimenti a Francesco per la sua professionalità e serietà... Ho visto davvero poche persone lavorare con la sua passione... Consiglio a chi si trova a venire a Reggio di passare... Cibo ottimo e staff unico...

08/06/2025: Unfriendly, unfriendly towards foreigners. Be careful what you order because the order was not respected.

24/07/2025: The food is truly delicious, and everything is taken care of down to the smallest detail. The owners are incredibly kind, as is the staff. The photos will speak for themselves...

28/06/2025: Well prepared appetizers, well cooked pizza with quality ingredients, excellent prices

08/09/2025: The location is lovely, offering a beautiful view of the Tropea sea. We were greeted by a very friendly and helpful young man, but unfortunately, the man taking our orders arrived as soon as we were seated, rushing us, making it impossible to choose our dishes. He was also quite annoyed. Despite everything, we ate reasonably well, except for the first course, which, strangely, arrived less than five minutes later, so we assumed it was already ready. The tuna steak with onion was good, but I would pay more attention to the plating.

03/09/2025: I'll be brief because I almost never leave negative reviews, but I didn't feel like a tourist here, so I had to warn you. As soon as we arrived, they told us the starters weren't available. We asked for the tuna steak to be cooked more, which was brought without asking us how cooked it was. They said no because they had already closed the kitchen. 3 PM? Maybe 3:30 PM max? I asked to charge my phone and was told, "Madam, we're about to close, remember to take it back." So, a 5-minute charge was a blessing. Then they hadn't even asked for coffee yet, and the cashier lady, as she passed by, asked me to settle the bill because they were closing the counter. 😐 Well, now tell me, in a seaside place like Tropea, should tourists be served like this? I gave it 3 stars only for the view and the food, otherwise I would have given it 1 or 2 stars at most.

04/10/2025: Very friendly and attentive waiters with good advice on wine (grandpa) we went there twice the pizzas and pasta were very good

21/09/2025: Got ignored for 20 mins by waiters and left - no one took our order

22/10/2025: very beautiful and delicious.................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

19/10/2025: Good quality venue. Helpful staff. Good food and average prices.

02/09/2025: Truly excellent, both the owner and the young man who works there are friendly and quite helpful. The pizza is truly excellent, both stuffed and Margherita. I recommend the 4 Formaggi, which is really good. The free cover charge is also nice and convenient, so you really get what you pay for. Recommended for both families and solo travelers. That said, I'll be back as soon as I can.

24/08/2025: Pizza very good and the staff is very friendly and attentive

23/08/2025: We had dinner in 7 waiting time almost an hour... for the pizza the dough was good but not enough toppings... peppered mussels and good seafood salad... fried fish mediocre!

15/08/2025: The pizza was delicious and everything was good and the staff were very welcoming.

08/04/2025: Locale ben curato e personale gentilissimo che ci ha seguito e sempre ben consigliato. Il titolare attento e cortese. I piatti ottimi, pesce freschissimo e ben preparato. Grazie.

03/01/2025: Ottima cucina con pesce fresco e prezzi nella norma, piccolo neo un ritardo per i secondi a cui sono seguite le scuse del titolare, molto apprezzate, a cui è seguita l'offerta di rum con cioccolata. Da consigliare

06/09/2025: We went for dinner on a recommendation and went back two days later to get takeout. The service was excellent, the staff very polite and friendly. We also had a second taste of their local amaro, Ferrochina del Moro, and brought two bottles back to Spain. Overall, the best pizzeria in Castrovillari right now.

14/06/2025: Ho avuto modo di lavorare in questa pizzeria per un periodo e, con la massima sincerità e nel rispetto di tutti, sento di poter condividere la mia esperienza. Dal punto di vista della qualità del prodotto, purtroppo devo dire che la pizza spesso risultava poco cotta, e nel complesso non raggiungeva gli standard che ci si aspetterebbe da un locale del genere. Per quanto riguarda l’ambiente di lavoro, mi dispiace constatare che non è stato sereno. Ho trovato alcune persone poco collaborative e, in certi casi, addirittura maleducate e aggressive, il che ha reso il clima molto pesante. Ci tengo però a sottolineare che i due cuochi rappresentano una piacevole eccezione: professionali, educati e sempre disponibili. Nonostante tutto, considero anche questa esperienza come una lezione importante. Personalmente, non vedevo l’ora di voltare pagina e oggi sono felice di averlo fatto.

20/09/2025: Unfortunately, the room hadn't been cleaned. There was dust on the tables, and in the bathroom there was a used bar of soap, contact lenses and dental floss in the wastebasket, and mosquito larvae in the toilet. Overall, the rooms are apparently neglected and old. Breakfast is good but limited, and the hours are limited. At the end of the day, when we returned, mosquitoes were in the room; I imagine they entered during cleaning.

06/09/2025: I passed by several ice cream shops but I preferred to change and went to Vittoria, the historic and well-known name. Unfortunately, I was disappointed by the sulky cashier. I asked for a cone with cream, but they don't make it. I asked for three flavors, but they can't do just two flavors! And I was told that with three flavors, it would be more gelato... Never again in a place like that!!!!!

01/09/2025: The ice cream wasn't great...the owner and employees were rude and impolite...it puts you off going there.
