I migliori ristoranti di cucina italiana in Catanzaro

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

11/09/2025: A small, yet pleasant, restaurant, ready for a complete renovation. The selection is limited (including frozen items) and there's no menu. It's advisable to agree on the courses and their prices to avoid surprises on the final bill.

10/10/2025: Lunch here is almost always a regular occurrence. Besides the deliciousness of all the dishes, their strong point is the kindness of all the staff. Keep it up! 🙂

10/07/2025: It seems impossible to eat well at this price, but it was possible. Fast, friendly service, good food, super affordable price.

02/09/2025: Very nice pub and super good meat! Service was a little slow, even though it wasn't very crowded, but it was worth the wait. I was happy with the food, and the staff was friendly and knowledgeable. I recommend it! :)

23/08/2025: Excellent place for a hearty and tasty aperitivo. We ordered a platter of local cured meats and cheeses and several Tex-Mex dishes to share: tacos, chili con carne, nachos with guancamole and pico de gallo, and then succulent Calabrian eggplant meatballs with mint, beef braciole, and perfectly fried rice croquettes. A taste of local caponata, just like my grandmother used to make (superb!). All washed down with a good Negroni and a citrusy non-alcoholic drink. I almost forgot about the dessert: crema catalana 🔝 Excellent value. I recommend it and will definitely be back!

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 huge and very cute, with the option of dining outside. The lunch was excellent. Friendly staff. We'll be back.

01/02/2026: Very welcoming structure. Suitable for families with children. Abundant and delicious dishes. Highly recommended. We will return.

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.

20/11/2025: Very tasty. Nice atmosphere. The pizza is delicious and the meat is very tasty. There are desserts too, but for some reason they're not on the menu. The place is not cheap.

05/09/2025: Highly recommended. The pizza is easy to digest and the pizza dough appetizers are delicious! (Gianpaolo, the pizza chef, is a guarantee!) The meat and fish dishes are also excellent. Excellent value. The staff is very kind and welcoming 😊

26/12/2025: The restaurant recently changed ownership. After going there for three years in a row and always having a great experience, this evening was definitely an experience not to be repeated. We ate for two, without bread, vegetables were served twice with the soil and cooking water, and a portion of irregularly cut swordfish rolls. A small, boney snapper. A glass of wine and water. €60 with the vegetable portions deducted from the bill.

14/12/2025: Lots of hospitality and quality

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

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.

07/09/2025: Friendly staff, if you want to eat Calabrian specialties you're in the right place!

04/09/2025: Nice place with a pool, good food, owner always ready to make you feel comfortable.

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."

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.

01/10/2025: Very good pizza, very attentive and friendly staff. I'll be back.

29/09/2025: Succulent sandwich, succulent meat, succulent nduia, succulent poc bread, succulent chips, perfect red beer, excellent service, TOP bill

16/08/2025: Since they opened, every year as per tradition, the first pizza of the holidays has been there, and it's always been good. This year I was disappointed; the dough fell short of our expectations. Not satisfied, we tried to get it again, but to no avail. We'll try again next year, and let's hope for the best. On the plus side, the staff.

15/08/2025: A truly positive experience. Armando, the owner, is a truly wonderful person. Very helpful and friendly. Plus, we had lunch; everything was delicious, the appetizers were spectacular. I'll definitely be back.
