I migliori ristoranti di cucina italiana in Catanzaro

19/01/2026: A 5-star review, well deserved! I highly recommend this place. The atmosphere is comfortable, the staff is knowledgeable and very attentive to customers. Quality, expertise, and courtesy are three key factors that have earned my trust. The pizza is excellent, both in terms of the quality of the dough and its presentation. I ordered a white pizza with four cheeses. I assure you, it was the first time I've ever tasted such a good pizza: light, tasty, and with a refined flavor. Usually, in other places, it's always been pleasant, but the flavor is too strong and strong because of the gorgonzola. This time, the result exceeded my expectations! Congratulations again!

05/12/2025: Very nice, modern place, and I really like the style and decor. Located in the heart of Catanzaro Lido, just steps from the seafront, you can have a quiet dinner or an after-dinner cocktail. I really like the marble tables and the marble cutlery holders, which is unique. Unfortunately, I wasn't as happy with the food. The first time I had a sandwich... I had salmon, and my cousin had a hamburger... both were hot on the outside but completely cold on the inside. The salmon was still nice, but not overcooked. The hamburger seemed cooked and reheated several times because it was lukewarm and even a little burned. The second time I went back for the pizza, which was good, but a bit heavy in the dough. I felt full until practically the next day, and even a little bloated. This is not just my opinion, but also that of those who were with me. I came back a third time because I was invited by friends who were celebrating their birthday there, and they told us we couldn't each have a pizza (I don't understand why) but that we could do a pizza tour... now, as far as I know, a pizza tour is about eating pizza until you're exhausted... at least that's how I've always done it everywhere... instead, there were 16 of us at the table, and they only brought us 10 pizzas... which was basically barely a slice or two each. With fries, potato croquettes, and a few other things shared with everyone... I left quite hungry... maybe they ran out of pizza dough? Well, I'll try to come back, but for now, I don't feel like giving it 5 stars... and the stars that do exist are mostly for the location and the courtesy of SOME of the waiters... # The review above is from about 4 years ago... Update: I went back after a while, and it's improved... both in terms of food and service! The pizza is much better, the dough isn't very light, but the combinations are very good. I tried the pulled pork meatballs... good but to be honest I've had better... the meat was a bit dry and needed a drink, an opinion shared by the other diners.

30/12/2025: Sue toast with added mozzarella and dried tomatoes and 2 bottles of water 21 euros.... terrible

29/12/2025: Very beautiful and quaint place. Excellent toasts and cocktails. An experience to repeat.

14/02/2026: A decidedly negative experience. I ate at this restaurant on Valentine's Day and it was a bad experience. Unfortunately, the food was poor, and the portions were very small. The portions were small, and the food didn't live up to expectations. The place was cold and the service was unwelcoming. I won't even talk about it. I absolutely don't recommend it.

14/02/2026: Negative experience... a Valentine's Day dinner (2026) where we gave them 70 euros for a poor appetizer, 2 truly inedible first courses, only 3 pasta hearts, and a fried food that can't even be called such, almost starving. I didn't wait for dessert because I had already seen so much from the dinner, I saved myself a trauma. Never again. The place should be closed starting with dinner in the cold it was.

06/10/2025: Impeccable service and welcome "There will always be some grumpy people." Thank you, and your waitress is very friendly.

02/09/2025: Terrible experience, I wouldn't do it again. Inability to compose a poke on your own, lack of many services, I recommend putting more effort into it.

02/02/2026: A wonderful experience for families, the perfect place! Even for children, they can connect with nature and animals. The outdoor space is very large and lovely, with the option of dining outside. The lunch was excellent. Friendly staff. We'll be back.

01/02/2026: Eat traditional dishes and have a great time with friends and family, the staff is super-top!

12/12/2025: Everything was top-notch! An unforgettable experience. The courtesy and customer service were second to none. The Professor, the owner of the beach club, is a special person we will always treasure, along with his wife! Fresh fish is caught daily, impeccably prepared with attention to detail in the presentation. Excellent grilled and fried food, and a wide variety of salads. And if all this is all set in a heavenly setting, you couldn't ask for more! Highly recommended!

24/08/2025: Really nice beach with very kind and attentive staff, the food is very good. Very satisfied, we will definitely be back.

05/10/2025: I also loved the Italians being very friendly and I found myself at a party where I had a lot of fun.

18/02/2026: I've never tried gluten-free pizza. I should point out the gluten-free option. The pizza is baked in the same oven as the other pizzas, the only thing separating it is a layer of parchment paper. While the gluten-free pizza was baking, the other pizzas were baked next to and behind it, overriding the gluten-free one. After I pointed out that I thought the pizza was contaminated, the owner, although convinced his baking procedure was correct and safe, refused to sell me the pizza. I strongly advise against gluten-free. You shouldn't joke with someone else's health. Gluten-free is a serious matter and shouldn't be taken lightly. You could die.

26/12/2025: It's a pizza restaurant suitable for everyone: families and singles. The pizzas are usually good, and takeout is available. We also had a first and second course, and they were very good. I think it's a bit pricey (a fish first course costs €15), but I don't have much experience with restaurants, so I could be wrong. The staff is friendly.

13/10/2025: Everything's fine. Even though there's a single menu, I recommend always printing/posting the menu. There are things a person can be allergic to.

04/10/2025: An oasis of tranquility among the olive trees with a splendid view. Very spacious rooms with a sea-view terrace. Extremely friendly and helpful staff. For us, it was a starting point for trekking along the Basilian Way.

22/09/2025: A modest pizzeria restaurant, the staff, in my opinion, were not very professional, and the atmosphere was old and rather run-down. We waited an hour and twenty minutes for fried cod... not exactly quick. The food, however, was really good. The prices were also reasonable, which, along with the good food, partly justify the choice of location.

30/08/2025: The grilled platter tasted good. We had to wait a very long time for the pizzas. The pizza was bad. It was baked in the oven for far too long. You could hold a quarter of the pizza by one end and it didn't bend. See photo. The service was helpful and friendly. Unfortunately, I don't recommend the restaurant.

04/10/2025: Fabulous appetizers, exceptional pipi and potatoes, excellent grilled meat by the meter but the tagliatelle with porcini mushrooms deserves a 110 cum laude

02/09/2025: Quality pizza, excellent balance between maturation and leavening. Welcoming place, reasonable prices, friendly staff. Good dough rolling technique. Definitely recommended. Specific Analysis: 1- Inviting appearance 2- Well-cooked with a honeycomb crust and just the right amount of crust 3- Good consistency due to a properly matured dough 4- Well-balanced salt, definitely with a ratio of 2.5%-3% 5- Balanced toppings and combinations, each raw ingredient is distinctly perceived. 6- No feeling of thirst during the night, synonymous with a long leavening process, definitely 48h-72h, with a balance of ingredients in contrast with the sodium. Overall rating 10/10. Recommended

05/02/2026: 80s-style place, service? What kind? 2 spaghetti with lupini beans and mussels plus a bottle of Cirò wine, from a discount store, 50 euros! For lunch. If it had been a nice place... Never again!

26/10/2025: Spaghetti with mussels and clams, the best dish and the friendliness of the owner, fresh products

23/12/2025: Good pizza. Fast service, friendly staff.

31/08/2025: *5 stars!* "I stayed at this beach with my family and we had an incredible experience! The beach is clean and well-organized, with comfortable umbrellas and loungers. The restaurant is fantastic, with delicious fresh seafood. The service was excellent, with friendly and helpful staff. We ate deliciously and spent wonderful days at the beach. I highly recommend this beach to anyone looking for a relaxing vacation."

21/03/2026: The crazy Germans were there and ate a whole cake, which was very, very delicious 😋

01/11/2025: Kind and friendly staff! The breakfast was excellent, but not only that: I tried the freshly squeezed orange juice, the coffee, the soy cappuccino, and the whole-wheat croissant with jam. If I ever return to Catanzaro Lido, this would be my first stop :)
