I migliori ristoranti di cucina italiana in Catanzaro

01/10/2025: I wouldn't go back even if I were starving. The waitress, who I believe was also the owner, practically dictated what we were eating when we ordered. When I asked for the menu, she got irritated and replied, "You find menus in dives; here I only give you fresh food." She also started criticizing her age, saying, "How old are you? I'm 20 years older than you, you don't have to teach me how to run a restaurant." I tried to reply politely, "Excuse me, but why do you have to decide what I should eat? You're not offering me a meal; I'm paying for a service, and I just want to know what's available so I can choose according to my taste." As we continued with our order, we were told that she could only prepare a mixed appetizer and a single first course for everyone because a nearby table had booked earlier and "they needed to focus on them." An absurd reason, to say the least. I didn't want to reply or get up and leave, simply out of respect for the colleagues I was dining with: from that moment on, I remained silent. As if that weren't enough, I saw the same woman smoking in the next room, right near the cash register and the kitchen. Unacceptable. And to conclude: 5 appetizers, 8 first courses, 3 250ml Cokes... total €250. A terrible experience from every perspective: unprofessional, no freedom of choice, an environment with no respect for rules, and an exorbitant bill.

21/09/2025: Paid 54 euros for two starters, two first courses and water, nothing special, honestly the starter was of poor quality, I don't understand the price, given that on the menu I would have paid less, I won't be returning, the positive thing is the service, the waiters were super kind and courteous, shame about the rest

22/10/2025: very beautiful and delicious.................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

19/10/2025: Good quality venue. Helpful staff. Good food and average prices.

06/09/2025: I passed by several ice cream shops but I preferred to change and went to Vittoria, the historic and well-known name. Unfortunately, I was disappointed by the sulky cashier. I asked for a cone with cream, but they don't make it. I asked for three flavors, but they can't do just two flavors! And I was told that with three flavors, it would be more gelato... Never again in a place like that!!!!!

01/09/2025: The ice cream wasn't great...the owner and employees were rude and impolite...it puts you off going there.

14/09/2025: Please continue driving. The B&B is unfortunately not recommended...the restaurant is closed, and unfortunately, no overnight stay with breakfast can be booked, so you're forced to take half board. €75 per person. In the evening, you have to wait until they drive you up the mountain to the restaurant (we didn't feel comfortable and felt like we were being controlled by someone else). The restaurant had zero service and ambiance, and the food was mediocre at best. Then we had to pay even more because we ordered "too much." They told us everything was included...(normally, we would have only had pizza and a salad, but for the fixed price of "half board," that would have been too cheap). It was all very dubious. The breakfast was a lot of ready-made and pre-packaged stuff, which doesn't make any cyclist happy and is definitely a disgrace for the price. The cats also scratch the bikes, so we put them in. The room was okay, but compared to the other accommodations along the bike path, it was simply overpriced.

14/09/2025: I can't recommend this B&B at all. At €75 per person including meals, it was the most expensive and worst. It's outside of Girifalco, and the restaurant at the B&B is closed, so you're taken to another restaurant in the evening. The B&B has no charm at all, and at €50 including breakfast, it's absolutely the most expensive and also the worst we've had. The breakfast isn't anything special as advertised, but just a simple one with a lot of pre-packaged, unfresh things. As I said, it's way too expensive for this standard. It's worth a maximum of €60 for two, including breakfast. We even had to pay extra for the food, even though we were told it was all included. You really have to be careful here. Additionally, no documents are taken, and payment is made in the restaurant. It's all a bit strange. We would never stay here again; we felt ripped off and didn't feel comfortable at all. So it's better to cycle one stop to the next town.

29/09/2025: A very lovely place; I was there for a very intimate wedding reception. Aesthetically beautiful and rustic, large and surrounded by olive trees and countryside. Good food and very friendly staff. A little tricky to get to, on a dirt road, but you can get there by being careful with your GPS.

18/06/2025: I was there for my nephew's 18th birthday...beautiful location even if a bit neglected. Really good food but the staff is to be avoided at all costs. Especially the owner's sister. For this reason alone I wouldn't go back.

13/08/2025: The service was fine they were nice but they gave us a room that gave me so much anxiety, the room was 402 on the 3 floor up another stairs with all of our luggage. We first didn’t know where it was, then once we did find it, it was so dark and difficult to see and there was stairs up and down. We didn’t know where the light switch was until my dad found it, (nobody was injured) the room was big and decent, the parking lot is so bad, we couldn’t get out of the parking lot because other cars were parked in front of us. All and all we only stayed there for one night and I think the hotel is only good for one night

11/08/2025: We stumbled upon this hotel by chance, passing through Lamezia Terme for one night! Overall, we had a great stay. The welcome was excellent, even though it was past 10:00 PM. They greeted us kindly and prepared two pinsas for dinner! The hotel is well-kept and clean, and is adjacent to a bar, ice cream parlor, pastry shop, and bistro, where everything is truly delicious! Breakfast was excellent, with a croissant, Chantilly cream, and black cherry! The Cantagalli Hotel is a great stop if you're visiting Lamezia Terme!

11/09/2025: The best dish I've ever eaten in Calabria Authentic, flavorful, and plentiful at a very reasonable price I had a parmigiana and was delighted! The service and ambiance were modest, but the dishes were prepared to perfection!

23/08/2025: Pathetic girl tired of life 22/08/2025 15:00...poorly reheated pizzas and panini

16/08/2025: Be careful, everyone! This is a scam! The food is incredibly expensive. Four chicken wings for 11 euros. Oh my god, are your chicken wings made of gold? I won't go into the details, just savor them yourself. The owner, seeing it was our first time, charged us all the prices on Guagua! Do you really think we don't know that the prices on Guagua are inflated? The dine-in prices are supposed to be much lower, right? And there were no receipts! Not even a piece of paper showing the prices for each dish! They're just taking all the money!

16/07/2025: Con affaccio sulla spiaggia. Esperienza positivissima! Ottima la pizza. Il pizzaiolo ci ha proposto pizza "corona " con cornicione ripieno. Davvero buonissima! Torneremo ancora per mangiare pesce. Personale gentilissimo Ottimo anche il conto. Lo consiglio.

16/07/2025: Il ristorante è molto invitante, il personale gentile e cordiale, la "pizza del pizzaiolo" gustosa e originale. Molto accogliente

29/06/2025: Hot drinks, pizza, no pizza, there's no ice, they don't make coffee.

18/05/2025: pleasantly surprised, given the old negative reviews. With the new management the place seems comfortable with a family atmosphere. the room is well kept, the meat is on display in the fridge in the room. the staff is extremely helpful (they, at my request, "invented" a table to accommodate me) good food for quality and price. discreet and politely engaging piano bar. outdoor tables. I recommend it for those who want to spend a carefree evening. small flaws, which I am sure will disappear with time.

12/07/2025: An experience not to be repeated at all! Terrible management, we have never seen pizzas brought with fried food. When we pointed this out, the owner's response was that it was not possible to bring them back later. We sent them back asking for them to be remade, and they brought back the same ones reheated. We left but they charged us for the appetizers plus the beers for around 150 euros. Starving, change your profession, catering is not your thing. Failed.

19/08/2025: I visited this restaurant with a group of friends, and unfortunately, the experience was very disappointing. Two dishes from our order were completely forgotten and were only served after we pointed out the omission to the staff. Meanwhile, everyone else had already finished their food, and we found ourselves starting dinner after the rest of the table had already finished. This completely ruined the atmosphere of the evening. Such a lack of attention to service is unacceptable, especially in a place that should be at least minimally organized. We definitely won't be returning!

17/08/2025: Very disappointed. Almost an hour wait. Many mistakes with the order. No effort to rectify. Food in the end was mediocre. Again very disappointed

02/05/2025: Il posto è carino ed è alla moda etc etc. Purtroppo il prezzo è alto. Un aperitivo con 5 polpettine 1 triangolino di pizza 1 pugno di patatine fritte 1 bibita ( cola o birra) 26.50 Purtroppo a casa abbiamo dovuto cenare di nuovo. Viaggiano anche blatte rosse giganti. Non applicano mai sconti Prendono anche i 25 centesimi. Comunque x chi è a dieta ed è coraggioso è molto consigliato

07/03/2025: Dinner for two. Ordered sandwiches and other treats. Excellent quality and top service
