I migliori ristoranti di cucina italiana in Calabria

22/07/2025: Historic place with excellent sandwiches and breakfasts

14/04/2025: My friends and I are visiting from Oregon, USA and despite arriving in Pianopoli during riposo, we were warmly welcomed into El Costa Bar. We were not sure if the bar was open but the gentlemen invited us to sit down and explained some of the food options. We all opted for Margherita pizza and it was delicious! He served us the toppings separate from the crust and that allowed us to flavor our pizza to our own personal liking, including sun-dried tomatoes and pickled zucchini. It was an authentic Italian experience! Even more impressive, is the food is locally sourced. Along with our main course, he provided appetizers that included fresh bread, and amazing locally grown olives! A big thank you for the service provided by this gentleman! We were very well cared for! Take a trip to visit the cute town of Pianopoli and stop in at El Costa Bar!

21/07/2025: Excelente Restaurante! Foi uma experiência incrível! Viemos visitar a comune de nascimento de nosso Bisavô e este restaurante foi incrível

28/06/2025: Cercavamo un posto dove cenare presto (verso le 18 : 00 ) , ma la maggior parte dei ristoranti apriva dopo le 20 : 30 . Eravamo en 9 a trovare Paola, affamati dopo una lunga giornata di viaggio. I padroni di casa, Luigino e Maria Rosario, sono stati gentilissimi: ci hanno preparato un tavolo per tutti e insieme ci hanno sfamato per più di tre ore. Il cibo era delizioso, anche per gli standard italiani, e includeva insalate, mozzarella locale, melanzane, pasta, e persino due orate al forno. Difficile immaginare un'esperienza culinaria calabrese migliore e più autentica. Non perdetevi questo posto. Estábamos buscando un lugar para cenar temprano (alrededor de las 6 pm) , pero la mayoría de los lugares comenzaron a servir después de las 830 . Éramos 9 de nosotros visitando Paola, con hambre después de un largo día de viaje. Los anfitriones Luigino y María Rosario fueron tan amables - - él puso una mesa para todos nosotros y juntos nos dieron de comer durante más de tres horas. La comida era deliciosa, incluso para los estándares italianos, e incluía ensaladas, Mozzarella local, berenjenas, pastas, e incluso dos besugos asados. Es difícil imaginar una experiencia gastronómica calabresa mejor y más auténtica. No te pierdas este lugar, y no te olvides de la aplicación Google Translate en tu teléfono. Una vez que llegas tan al sur en Italia (y deberías) , hay muy poco inglés hablado.

05/09/2025: La Cicchinella is a culinary experience not to be missed! I've been back twice, and each time was better than the last! The wine is fantastic, the platter is top-notch with mouth-watering cured meats! And the service? The guys are truly amazing, always ready to offer advice and make you feel at home. Even if it's just for a beer, this place is a must! I recommend everyone to try it, you won't regret it!

25/08/2025: We had an aperitif with platters of typical Calabrian products, accompanied by an excellent rosé wine. Fantastic location, welcoming, friendly, and professional staff. I highly recommend it.

29/07/2025: I can only applaud the lead actor's great performance. I'll start by saying that a few years ago we went to Cocis in Pizzo, near the shopping center, and twice, even though the chicken and pizza were good, they always treated us the same way: a higher bill, and when we asked for a detailed receipt, they added other dishes. We arrived on July 26th, 25th, and we ordered chicken and pizzas for a group of about 15 people. The first thing I said to the friends I was sitting with was that a few years earlier in Pizzo, they had tried to cheat me with the price twice. I have to say that the food is good, both the pizza and the chicken, but the bill remains the real price. When it came time to pay the bill, the man who had greeted us showed up with the classic handwritten note: TOTAL 300 euros. After a quick calculation, we immediately realized there was a problem, and the waiter who did the calculations told us that we hadn't even been charged for the children's first courses (2/3 penne with tomato sauce). So, already with our previous experience, we asked for the itemized bill, and then, like magic, the first courses appeared again. To avoid unnecessary words, I looked at the menu and realized that the wines we ordered had been increased in price to bring the bill to the round figure of 300... APPLAUSE for the third time... COCIS, BRILLIANT IN THE KITCHEN AND PHENOMENAL AT COUNTING... Of course, as soon as we pointed this out, they justified themselves by saying that the menus had been poorly designed and the bill had been adjusted... OBVIOUSLY. With this I just want to make a note to the managers of this place, you are good at cooking and you have a beautiful place, so you absolutely must not risk incurring any fines or anything else, to recover a few more euros it is not worth it and ABOVE ALL THE CUSTOMER IS SACRED... he is the one who goes where he is treated well and does not deserve to be cheated

26/07/2025: Late service, no organization, mediocre food and unspecified bill as there is no menu

20/07/2025: Cena a base di pesce, di ottima qualità , servizio ai tavoli molto rapido ed efficiente, camerieri preparati e molto educati.... Ottima esperienza, da riprovare e da consigliare.

20/07/2025: Ottima location, servizio garbato, Rapidità apprezzata in tutto. Prezzi corretti, e qualità del cibo buona. Da consigliare. Apprezzato il piccolo sconticino, che non è da tutti.

25/02/2025: I bought a chocolate colomba from their website! There was a small problem with the courier in my area, and Mrs. Nunzia was on the phone with me until she managed to track the package! And it was delivered the same day... I haven't tasted it yet, but they've already won!

20/02/2025: I live in Toronto Ontario, Canada. This past Christmas I had Don Giovannino’s panettone. This could be the best I’ve ever had. I loved the pistachio panettone and the red velvet one. Each panettone comes with its jar of cream to add to the already flavourful dessert. Don Giovannino really changed the world of panettone. Tanti saluti dal Canada!

21/04/2025: The scp that live inside are very dangerous. But they cook well.
