I migliori ristoranti di cucina italiana in Calabria

04/09/2025: What can I say? While I was looking for a place to eat fish and chips because my partner is English, I stumbled upon this little gem. The place is delightful, the music is great, the food is delicious, and the food is truly beautifully presented. Mediterranean flavors revisited in an innovative way. A wonderful surprise. We come to Catanzaro every year, and we'll definitely be back; it'll be one of our favorite destinations. Thank you so much!

05/08/2025: A very cute, well-kept, and welcoming place, featuring sea green hues with a tropical touch. The warm, original lighting is beautiful. The staff is friendly and accommodating. The food is excellent. You can choose from a variety of meat, fish, and even vegetarian/vegan dishes, with special attention paid to celiacs. The dishes are carefully prepared. We had three appetizers: paprika potatoes, savory zeppole, and vegetarian tacos, followed by a special rosti with beets and pumpkin seeds and a vegetarian bagel. There were also several fish and meat options. We drank two craft beers and an excellent local amaro (Amaro dell'Eremita). The service was quick and attentive. It was an excellent dinner in a very charming place. The price was fair for what we ate.

11/07/2025: Everything was excellent: from the stunning location to the quality food! A truly unique place, meticulously maintained and incredibly welcoming.

11/07/2025: My wife and I went on Friday, July 11th, and were served by a rude and racist waitress who seated us at the bar in the restaurant, which was 70 percent full. She also refused to let us bring a pizza. It's a shame that an employee like that would ruin the place.

08/10/2025: After more than 10 years of experience with Amplifon, I guarantee the utmost reliability and professionalism! This office is home to a very young team... the staff are very personable, friendly, helpful, and technically knowledgeable, always ready to find the best solution for every need! The assistance is mind-blowing... they've solved impossible problems in a very short time! These guys are no joke... and above all, they never leave us alone!!! A heartfelt thank you to Dr. Erica for her utmost dedication to her profession! Great job, guys, keep it up!!! Highly recommended, 10/10!

17/09/2025: Excellent service from the staff at the Crema store. Knowledgeable and very friendly. Truly, very satisfied.

09/10/2025: A wonderful experience yesterday at Hosteria De Mendoza. An intimate and refined venue where the hospitality and quality of the ingredients are top-notch. The service is impeccable and timely. The dishes are impeccably prepared and served. A hostess who makes you feel right at home. An excellent location for a pleasant break. Highly recommended for small groups.

25/09/2025: The best of the best home cooking, mushrooms of all seasons with dishes prepared down to the smallest details with care and passion, it is truly worth visiting and tasting, you have to live this experience at least 6/7 times to savor the entire menu which is really worth it

03/09/2025: An experience to repeat, home-made cuisine with sublime flavor, impeccable service, top-notch setting near the stream, what more could you want.

01/09/2025: We've been on vacation since yesterday morning and we've already been here twice, yesterday for lunch, today for dinner... what can I say, I think it will be my favorite restaurant of the holidays 😁 Just for the politeness, kindness, courtesy and helpfulness of the guys I give the best, the top location, the food? There is no comparison, not even in the best grill restaurants I've eaten such good and tender meat. I highly recommend stopping here if you come to Diamante.

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

23/08/2025: I have been to this restaurant many times and the food is fantastic...well prepared dishes and very helpful waiting staff.

10/07/2025: Personally, I, my friends, and family have always had a great time. I recommend it.

06/10/2025: I love this restaurant! The hospitality is exceptional, and Fulvio always takes great care of his guests. 🤩 Today I tried the fish of the day: a real delight! 100% highly recommended! 🐟

25/09/2025: Fantastic restaurant, excellently cooked and absolutely fresh fish. The staff is exquisite; it's my favorite restaurant every year when I go to the beach. The owner is exceptional both as a person and as a musician; he resembles Gino Paoli, and together with his partner, a Pino lookalike, Daniele, they entertain us with divine music. You eat overlooking the sea. Highly recommended.

11/09/2025: A pleasant surprise with a truly high-quality food and wine selection. Dishes are elaborate, tasty, and beautifully presented. The wine pairings are spot-on, with options ranging from small local producers to top-notch regional specialties. The service is youthful and professional. If they continue like this, a Michelin star will arrive soon.

05/09/2025: A truly high-quality experience, we chose the 6-course tasting menu, which actually turned out to be 8. There was great skill in the use of local ingredients, a great imagination in the pairings, and in the end, we left extremely satisfied. A couple of Michelin stars would have been fully awarded if only this restaurant weren't located in our far south... But perhaps it's better this way; the price isn't Michelin-starred, but the experience is!

12/06/2025: Everything was excellent, the Scottona meatballs were the best, the same for the Chianina... the only flaw... the knives... 4* for the service for this

20/05/2025: First we called to make a reservation, but the woman on the phone hung up twice after hearing me speak in English. We were very persistent and went without reservation anyway. And good thing we did - the waiter was very polite and friendly (and spoke English), and the meat was really tender and perfectly prepared.

19/09/2025: An incredibly good fish restaurant! Highly recommended! We were there as a family with a toddler... delicious pasta with fresh pesto verde for the child, and delicious fish dishes for the adults were a dream! 😍 Everything was freshly prepared... Highly recommended! I would make a reservation so you won't be disappointed 🙂😉

12/09/2025: It was a nice place, and we had a great time. The seaweed pasta was truly unique and delicious, with the clams and crispy pancetta providing a great balance. The appetizer, however, didn't entirely convince me: lots of show but little substance. The fried fish was good, as was the wine. Overall, a positive experience. Tip: Use more fried calamari, as the appetizer would need a revisitation.

21/10/2025: Delicious and very nice. Nice service, reasonable prices.

21/10/2025: Excellent restaurant, great welcome and advice, worth discovering, secluded, quiet 👍

12/09/2025: Everything is so good... Top quality.... I don't recommend it, but more. I go often and they never disappoint me, it feels like family. Today with the Ovuli pasta they outdid themselves... I always find the quality of the products to be very high, and very importantly, the prices are more than in line with many other hypothetical restaurants. In my opinion, for the quality they serve, their prices are even a notch lower than what's around.... Fabio, Uncle Silvio, and the entire dining room and kitchen team are tops.... But don't tell anyone... I risk not finding a seat.... I'm kidding.... There's also a huge, very cool dining room in the basement.... Try it and then tell me....

08/09/2025: Ate very well, service was very nice

29/09/2025: Very reasonable price for proper pizza. Great choice of dishes, friendly people. It is always busy there, lots of Italians eat there which speaks for itself.

27/09/2025: We loved this place. We felt welcomed and we enjoyed meeting the people around us and the staff was very friendly. It was nice to watch the pizza chef make the pizzas and the flavor was very good and they were hot which is the only way food should be served. We were only here for 3 nights and we ate here twice. They deserve the score they have been given and I believe they’re doing their absolute best to deliver great food and service. Give this place a try for sure!

31/08/2025: A pleasant discovery in the historic center of Villapiana and this trattoria. The food (made with top-quality ingredients), the location, and the service are excellent. Very friendly staff. We'll definitely be back.

28/08/2025: Trattoria Casalnuovo embodies kindness, hospitality, and personal attention thanks to an exceptional team: Andrea, with his smile, always ready to explain and advise the customer, as well as Natale, Giuseppe, Sara, and Chiara. The food is exquisite, the quality of the local products is excellent, exuding tradition, balance, and authenticity. My heartfelt compliments to the chefs, they are truly talented; in this place, it's like eating at home.
