I migliori ristoranti di cucina italiana in Catanzaro

28/06/2025: Entering Le Querce degli Elfi isn't just a dinner out: it's a true leap back in time, to a place where you can breathe the authenticity of Calabria at its most genuine. From the cuisine to the welcome, everything speaks of tradition, warmth, and passion. Each dish is a tribute to Calabrian culture, prepared with authentic ingredients and presented with the love of those who live their land every day. Giacomo and the rest of the team aren't just restaurateurs, they're true hosts: in an instant, they make you feel welcomed, pampered... just like at your grandparents' house, with that care and atmosphere that is increasingly rare today. I don't recommend specific dishes simply because... I've never managed to! I've been three times, and each time the off-menu options were so numerous, always different, and too tempting to miss. Every visit is a new experience, full of authentic flavors and daily surprises. A unique place, where every visit becomes a special memory. Highly recommended for those seeking authentic flavors, tradition, and a heartwarming welcome.

05/04/2025: A lovely little place where you can eat really well and with excellent value. The service is fast and the staff is very friendly; the location is a bit out of the way for non-locals, but it's a very charming place. Inside, it's a bit small but very intimate. An experience worth repeating. Highly recommended.

20/08/2025: Fantastic experience and delicious food. We'll definitely be back!!!!!

15/08/2025: Private venue, excellent cuisine, helpful staff.

19/07/2025: Non è una semplice pizzeria è la pizzeria...se si ha voglia di una vera e buona pizza questa pizzeria è stra consigliata. Veniamo spesso e mai nulla da ridire, prodotti e servizio buoni.

30/06/2025: Saturday June 28th I booked a table with 2 of my friends for 9:30 pm, at 9:30 pm the table was ready. Nice menu with many variations. Very good pizza, very high quality, efficient and fast service, also good and kind. What can I say, this Pizzeria is perfect, I recommend it.

12/08/2025: The structure appears simple on the outside but pleasantly surprising inside. The arches and walls lend a welcoming atmosphere. Kudos to the staff, who immediately proved attentive and courteous without ever being intrusive. There was nothing to complain about with the menu or the quality of the raw materials used to prepare the excellent dishes we enjoyed. The owner demonstrated uncommon competence and professionalism. Finally, the bill we paid was fair and proportionate to what we ordered. Excellent value for money. Recommended for anyone looking for a peaceful two-hour meal. Gianni Antonacci

27/07/2025: As a family, we decided to visit the Sanctuary of the Madonna di Porto. On the way, we stopped at the La Valle dell'Aspide restaurant, very close to our destination, where we enjoyed delicious homemade dishes, pleasing to the palate and beautifully presented. All this was accompanied by the warm welcome, helpfulness, kindness, and friendliness of Mr. Luciano and Mrs. Teresa, making it feel like family. I highly recommend it; try it and believe it.

The food? Simply extraordinary. Each dish is a small masterpiece, both in taste and presentation. Super-fresh ingredients, creative yet balanced combinations, and generous portions. The wine list is well-stocked, and the staff was impeccable in recommending the perfect pairing. A special mention goes to the dessert, which truly capped off the evening. An explosion of flavors!

27/06/2025: The real artisanal ice cream! Bravissimi

27/06/2025: I've been to take Icecream , it is artizanal, taste its very nice and the price also good. Has tables and seats outside close to the besch. Deserve to try it.

28/08/2025: Lunch with friends on the eve of Ferragosto (August 15th). The place was packed, but the waiters were always present. We ordered several appetizers, including potato and mushroom tart, beef carpaccio, sautéed potatoes with onion, French fries and cardoncelli mushrooms, grilled caciocavallo cheese, and caciocapra with porcini mushrooms. Tagliatelle with mushrooms was the first course, and we finished with tiramisu served in a cappuccino cup and maritozzi with tiramisu. Considering the time of year and the number of people present, the experience was positive. Many tables were eating pan pizza, which looked good, but we didn't try it.

26/08/2025: A fantastic place, a restaurant and pizzeria with an entirely gluten-free menu. Quality local products. Three evenings in SILA, three evenings at Semaforo. We tried everything from pizza and pasta to sandwiches, and gave them all 4 stars. Recommended

31/07/2025: A wonderful experience, excellent food.

31/07/2025: The linguine with clams was excellent, and the cured meats appetizer was very nice and tasty. Good service and reasonable prices.

11/08/2025: This hotel holds a special place in my heart for its courtesy, helpfulness, and customer service. My husband and I have been coming back for 10 years: we feel right at home, and the food is top-notch. Every member of the staff is kind and welcoming, and Maria is an institution.

03/06/2025: I stayed during the June 2nd long weekend. Splendid hotel in an enchanting place. Very clean and magnificent staff (they managed the "miracle" of finding a tire dealer on a Sunday before June 2nd!). The restaurant was also good. Highly recommended.

23/08/2025: Delicious dinner. There were two of us, and we had a peppered mussel dish, mixed fried fish, two seafood linguine dishes, and a hazelnut dessert. Everything was delicious, but the service was very slow because it wasn't organized. For a crowd like last night, they needed at least five waiters, divided between the two rooms. The owner (I think) was very friendly, as was the rest of the staff. The only downside is that if I mention a spider in my glass, the waitress has to change it, not inspect it to see if it's real. Otherwise, it's very good; I'd go back.

23/08/2025: Very good restaurant, very tasty fresh fish. They were very kind to prepare everything gluten-free, without cross-contamination for a celiac. The fried food could be improved, but the rest is exceptional. The only thing to note, however, is that the wait for the gluten-free fried food was long (45 minutes). On the other hand, since they couldn't provide a gluten-free dessert, they offered us figs. Excellent prices.

25/07/2025: Characteristic location surrounded by beautiful olive groves, meticulously maintained and refined. Very romantic but also suitable for families or groups. Impeccable service, professional and courteous, especially Maria Concetta. The mixed seafood or meat menu offers a wide selection of pizzas. The quality/price ratio is fair. The food quality is excellent. Highly recommended.

25/07/2025: Quiet place and good quality food

30/07/2025: We dined at this restaurant twice during our vacation in Calabria. The raw seafood and pasta dishes were noteworthy, as were their homemade bitters. The prices were fair and in line with the quality of the products offered, and the staff was friendly and very helpful. Recommended.

29/07/2025: I had a fantastic experience at this restaurant! The food was delicious and beautifully presented. What really made our evening special was the outstanding service – especially from Francesco, our waiter. He was friendly, professional, and made us feel truly welcome. His recommendations were spot-on, and his warm personality added a special touch to the evening. Highly recommend this place – and if you’re lucky, you’ll be served by Francesco! Grazie!

26/08/2025: It's like eating at your grandmother's, Mrs. Graziella is a kind lady and she cares about making you eat good, homemade, Sunday-style food, it makes you remember when you ate at your grandmother's as a child, simple foods, oil, water, wine, there is no menu to follow but Graziella knows what to make you taste, it's the rustic place par excellence, like home.

21/08/2025: Everything is excellent, it feels like being at home... highly recommended
