I migliori ristoranti di cucina italiana in Calabria

30/08/2025: We discovered this restaurant and pizzeria by chance and it was fantastic, great prices, delicious pizza, it felt like being in Naples, literally on the beach with a spectacular sea view, super friendly staff, minimal wait time for 7 pizzas (we waited about 15 minutes), impeccable cleanliness even in terms of service, needless to say we returned and will definitely return next summer because they are worth it. I recommend the "La Sila" pizza with Calabrian nduja to those who like spicy food; trust me, you will not be disappointed. For those who like delicate flavors and fish, I recommend the zucchini and shrimp one because the arugula and salmon one was too creamy but still delicious. Everything fresh. Everything excellent. These are the places worth spending money on and I hope you continue to work in this impeccable manner. Well done.

19/08/2025: The staff were very friendly and helpful, and it was the best pizza I've ever eaten in Calabria.

13/08/2025: The service was fine they were nice but they gave us a room that gave me so much anxiety, the room was 402 on the 3 floor up another stairs with all of our luggage. We first didn’t know where it was, then once we did find it, it was so dark and difficult to see and there was stairs up and down. We didn’t know where the light switch was until my dad found it, (nobody was injured) the room was big and decent, the parking lot is so bad, we couldn’t get out of the parking lot because other cars were parked in front of us. All and all we only stayed there for one night and I think the hotel is only good for one night

11/08/2025: We stumbled upon this hotel by chance, passing through Lamezia Terme for one night! Overall, we had a great stay. The welcome was excellent, even though it was past 10:00 PM. They greeted us kindly and prepared two pinsas for dinner! The hotel is well-kept and clean, and is adjacent to a bar, ice cream parlor, pastry shop, and bistro, where everything is truly delicious! Breakfast was excellent, with a croissant, Chantilly cream, and black cherry! The Cantagalli Hotel is a great stop if you're visiting Lamezia Terme!

18/07/2025: raw pasta, very slow, poor service, glasses and cutlery with dust, uncleaned mussels

25/06/2025: We had a wonderful experience at this restaurant during our trip to southern Italy. The food was great, but what truly stood out was the amazing staff – warm, welcoming, and genuinely attentive. They took the time to explain the menu, made us feel at home, and handled everything with a relaxed and friendly attitude. We felt completely comfortable. Highly recommended – not just for the food, but for the hospitality.

21/09/2025: Nice place, expensive food, little and cold

19/09/2025: We went to dinner at this restaurant on the recommendation of friends. The location is beautiful, with an enchanting view of Scilla. We ordered exquisite fried fish and excellent mussels with pepper as an appetizer. The first courses were exceptional: DELICIOUS linguine with sea urchins, and delicious paccheri stuffed with ricotta and swordfish. We continued with stuffed swordfish rolls and a swordfish steak of the highest quality. Excellent service, with unparalleled friendliness and kindness from the waiters. Prices were reasonable. Highly recommended! We'll be back!

17/10/2025: Very nice rooms, especially if you're in the room with a balcony overlooking Lake Argo, which is very beautiful. Fantastic service, especially from Pietro, so the service is also 5 stars. Extraordinary location.

17/10/2025: Very nice rooms. If you're in the front, you have a view of Lake Arvo, while if you're in the back, you have a view of the forest. Very comfortable and friendly service. The hotel is very close to many attractions (like the Silavventura park). The food is very good.

13/09/2025: Terrible. Price-quality ratio? Absolutely below average. Portions are less than adequate, not to mention the quality. Calabria deserves much better, a region with PGI olive oil, and yet the oil arrives in a sachet... this is a small detail, but truly pitiful.

26/08/2025: I went as a couple to this seafood restaurant, which should be considered a "quick-and-go" restaurant for those passing, unpretentious diners. The prices were high, the food was meager, and the prices were unjustified for the quantity and quality. This is a seafood restaurant where dishes are served with condiments similar to those at self-service restaurants or roadside restaurants, namely in sachets. When I specifically requested quality olive oil, or at least bottled oil, given that I was in a zero-mile area, I was told it wasn't available (which is a must in other nearby restaurants), a sign of poor customer service and a lack of local attention. Not to mention the bread being made of rye or similar, which also doesn't reflect the area and typical local products. I hope the manager takes this review from a customer who experiences restaurants everywhere into constructive consideration. Finding a restaurant in Calabria in the famous town of Diamante, where the typicality of the products makes the difference, would have been highly disappointing. This is true even if I had been in Milan, Bologna, or Trento. This is without taking anything away from these wonderful cities, but in the South, from the South, one expects quality, tradition, and customer care, among many other things, especially in the restaurant and tourism sectors. If we take this away, all we have left is the sea.

06/09/2025: I had lunch in this place, excellent food, outdoor tables, excellent for enjoying the dishes, excellent trays of various pizzas

06/09/2025: Excellent bakery. Croissants for one euro and delicious pizza. Reasonable prices.

03/10/2025: Always a pleasure to eat at Agostino's. I recommend the goat as a second course.

26/09/2025: Really low prices and excellent quantities. The soppressata was good, and especially the prosciutto; I don't know if they're homemade, but they were delicious. The fusilli with pork ragù was also good. I didn't like the mixed antipasti platter or the porcini mushroom-based first course. The house wine was so-so. Attentive service.

27/10/2025: Self-service. We spent 56 euros, which included 20 euros for a veal rib, the rest, 2 tiny slices of pork, 2 small bottles of water, a quarter of wine (not even Tavernello is this bad) and a platter of cured meats, with counted slices... The freshness of the meat didn't seem great to me, the tables were all dirty, you can only sit outside, and you also pay the cover charge even though they don't offer any service.

01/09/2025: Terrible experience, I absolutely don't recommend it. Not so much for the quality of the product—the sausage sandwich was average—but for the disproportionately inflated bill and the lack of transparency regarding the cost of the products sold. It would deserve zero stars, not just one. ❗️

09/09/2025: Yes, you really have to drive to Calabria🚵🏼‍♂️ to eat the best pizza😋

30/08/2025: Great pizza, fast service, friendly and helpful service

04/09/2025: We stayed at this hotel for just one night, passing through the Calabrian mountains. The room had been booked at least twenty days in advance, but I wasn't told that Monday is the restaurant's weekly rest day. The hotel, in fact, functions primarily as a banquet restaurant and, secondarily, as a hotel, mostly for ceremonies with guests traveling and therefore staying for one or more nights. We were therefore greeted by a waiter instructed by the manager to come to the hotel for our arrival. We arrived at the hotel in the early afternoon and were assigned a charming room, all furnished in wood, certainly in a style appropriate for a mid-mountain location like Spadola. However, there was no air conditioning, so it was warm (the sun was shining on it, as you can see in the photo), and it most likely hadn't even been ventilated the night before! Fortunately, the temperature dropped that evening, and the discomfort subsided. The rooms do not have mini-fridges, and the balcony connects to adjacent rooms. This means the shutters must be closed for obvious security reasons, unless someone you trust is staying nearby. The next morning's breakfast was a bit disappointing, as there were no pastries, no other sweets, no yogurt, no fruit, only packaged snacks or biscuits, along with, of course, milk, tea, and coffee. We didn't even have a chance to meet the manager on the day of departure, so we were instructed to pay the waiter who greeted us upon arrival. The hotel is pet-friendly, but I honestly didn't dare take my dog ​​out, as there were three dogs roaming the hotel grounds, and one of them was visibly bothered by my dog. A word of advice to the management...don't offer accommodations on the day the restaurant is closed, because assistance is essential! A warm welcome and customer service can help mitigate any potential shortcomings or even make an already pleasant stay even better. If this is your management policy, given that it was a stay booked well in advance, at least consider offering a more thoughtful breakfast! In all the years we've spent vacationing in Calabria, we've never seen packaged snacks for breakfast, not even in B&Bs, let alone in a hotel that's primarily a restaurant 😕🤔...

08/06/2025: Exceptional! A must visit location for amazing authentic Italian food and very very good steaks...

06/10/2025: Mediocre food for Italy. The octopus on my pasta was anywhere to find. The muscles on the past were mostly closed and some tasted not good. Beer was warm. Service was good. View was amazing

04/10/2025: Located right on the bypass road with free parking. All tables offer a magnificent view of the sea and the neighboring beaches. Unfortunately, the owners are only making a mixed effort with the service and food. Prices are fair, but I wouldn't come here primarily for the food. The view is unique!

25/10/2025: The food is disgusting. They sell supermarket-style pre-pizza pizzas: inedible. The toasted pizza was fried; we had to throw it away. Only good for a snack.

26/09/2025: One of the best beach bars in Italy! Very friendly, familiar & very good food and drinks! Ask for the Salsiccia Hot Dog! #thetallguyfromgermania

16/09/2025: Excellent beach, well-stocked, friendly staff, and spacious. Ideal for a lovely holiday.

24/05/2025: Very bad, I'm too slow, I waited 2 hours to eat

01/06/2025: Excellent place to spend a pleasant evening
