I migliori ristoranti di cucina italiana in Catanzaro

07/03/2026: A wonderful trattoria serving traditional Catanzaro cuisine. Excellent, fast, and friendly service from all the staff and owners, and generous, delicious dishes, obviously featuring meat. Very fair prices, and a wide variety on the menu, which often includes a couple of fish dishes. In mid-February, they changed location, moving closer to the Salottino exit, surrounded by greenery and offering generous spaces. The restaurant has become fantastic, divided into two areas (one designated as a pub), with ample parking, plenty of seating, and the quality remains undeniable. If it were available, I'd give it a seventh star.

03/03/2026: The food, though simple, was good. The fried foods had too much oil, the risotto was good, the meat looked exceptional, and the pizzas looked inviting. I didn't eat the entire menu, so my review should be taken with a grain of salt, but I can certainly give an objective assessment of what I did taste.

02/02/2026: I've been to your place a couple of times, and each time I've felt right at home. The food is authentic, made with love, and the price is right. But what truly stands out is the welcome: rare, sincere, and human. Mr. Vincenzo, thank you so much for what you do and how you do it. I hope to return soon to sit at your table and enjoy your delicacies again.

21/10/2025: A wonderful escape from the summer heat and crowded beaches. The landscape is enchanting: a beautiful and evocative corner of the Sila, less crowded than the mountainous areas of Cosenza. The establishment is beautiful and welcoming, the cuisine is remarkable, and the service is excellent. Suitable for families and guests seeking a healthy environment and authentic cuisine. The owners' friendliness and hospitality do the rest. It's rare to find people so knowledgeable, passionate, and so deeply connected to their local area. It would be wonderful to have lunch there in the fall, too, when certain mountain produce is at its finest...

17/08/2025: Nothing to say about the structure, beautiful and welcoming, the same thing I would not say about the owner, who labeled us as lower-end customers because we booked through DLT, despite having compared the prices with those who had booked in the structure, and having received the same treatment as us.

08/08/2025: It's always a pleasure to return! The cuisine and service are flexible and always ready to meet our guests' needs. Kudos to the owner Domenico and the head waiter Roberto, a true professional! Rossella and Gina are also welcoming and kind.

20/02/2026: The elegant and refined atmosphere is complemented by the courtesy and professionalism of the staff. Chef Vaccaro, the most gracious chef, offers delicious and creative dishes, from appetizers to desserts. Recommended.

01/01/2026: We spent New Year's Eve dinner at this restaurant and it was a truly excellent experience. The food was top-notch, with attention to detail, from the aperitif to the coffee. The service was impeccable: professional, attentive, and always available, the staff made us feel welcomed and pampered throughout the evening. The comfortable and elegant setting made the atmosphere even more pleasant and relaxing. A perfect place for special occasions. Highly recommended!

25/09/2025: I had booked a table for six at Trattoria Ceravolo a full five days before the dinner. I had also made sure a typical Catanzaro dish was available, so that colleagues from out of the region could try it. Arriving promptly at 8:30 PM, we found the shutter halfway down. The door was still open, and there were six or seven people inside who, in a rude manner, kept telling me the restaurant was closed, ignoring the fact that I had a reservation. Only by raising my voice did I manage to explain myself, and eventually the owner's son intervened, confirming the closure due to an injury. I fully understand that unforeseen circumstances can happen, but failing to notify customers with a confirmed reservation is unacceptable. In my opinion, simply because they had no other customers, they chose to close. In any case, the result was a terrible impression on my colleagues and a ruined evening. Such unprofessional behavior is inexcusable: a reputable establishment, if closed, should remain closed to everyone, and above all, it must have the integrity to notify those who have booked.

24/09/2025: The food is good, I liked it, whatever you choose is good, it seems homemade by a good housewife. The only odd thing is the prices of the dishes are either a little lower or a little higher than average, but okay. I recommend it.

20/12/2025: Very good pizza! The staff is very attentive and friendly! My daughter is celiac and loves it! I highly recommend it.

11/09/2025: Great food, friendly service, would gladly come again 👍🏻

24/09/2025: We were passing through on our way home from the airport... we actually just wanted to quickly pick up some bread and stumbled upon Panificio Puccio... Sensational! We bought bread and all sorts of mixed baked goods... incredibly fresh and delicious. The ingredients are definitely high-quality. The pizza was tasty, but didn't really blow us away. The five stars are more than deserved.

08/10/2025: We were passing through, recommended by a host, I took gluten-free pizza with a ready-made base, the toppings were really good 🤤

07/10/2025: I didn't like the pizza, but it's a good taste, very nice and welcoming place

13/01/2026: Excellent traditional Calabrian food. Good value. And, above all, a rustic, small but welcoming and clean location with always friendly and helpful owners. Recommended for lovers of authentic, even spicy, flavors.

04/01/2026: Highly recommended restaurant. We started with a truly rich and tasty appetizer: quality cured meats, local rotisserie, and bruschetta prepared with authentic ingredients. The mixed grill was also perfectly cooked, accompanied by truly delicious local potatoes. You can sense the attention to quality ingredients and traditional cuisine. The service was friendly and the atmosphere welcoming.

21/02/2026: Excellent place! Top-quality ingredients, fast service, and super friendly staff. An honorable mention for the bacon jam. All-you-can-eat menu available on Mondays and Sundays. Highly recommended!

21/02/2026: The best burger in Calabria, hands down. Excellent: top-quality meat and fantastic fried food. Smash-Elly takes you to the USA, the best diner on any avenue. Friendly and welcoming staff. Reasonable prices for the exceptionally high quality of the products. Also available as AYCE (Friday and Monday). MUST DO AGAIN!

31/10/2025: The black pork shank is excellent.

30/09/2025: The restaurant is located in a charming village about 600 meters above Soverato. The appetizers are excellent, with an interesting selection. The Calabrian black pork shank is also excellent. The desserts are good, but the house wine needs updating. The service is very attentive, and the price is reasonable considering the high quality of the food.

10/11/2025: Welcoming atmosphere, friendly and smiling staff, and good quality food. I've been there twice already, and I always enjoy stopping by whenever I'm in the area. I've had the aperitivo twice, which I must say was plentiful and therefore a great substitute for lunch. I recommend it.

15/06/2025: Everything was wonderful! Reasonable prices, excellent food and drinks, and impeccable service.

21/10/2025: Very friendly, nice, and kind staff, the smell is very nice. Thank you so much Salvatore, you are the best, I hope to return soon.

14/09/2025: A long-standing favorite, it's always a pleasure to treat yourself to dinner at this wonderful place every year. A beautiful location will allow you to enjoy a wide selection of truly delicious, top-quality local dishes. The very welcoming staff, attentive to every detail, make this place one of the best in the area. Highly recommended.

07/02/2026: Superb...quality...courtesy...speed...welcoming...tradition and affordability! Kudos to all the staff...from the sweet and efficient waitress, to the legendary Antonella, to the always responsive, helpful, and wonderful Sasà!

18/12/2025: Hospitality, kindness, very professional in recommending the menu, very friendly atmosphere. Excellent food, lots of choice, congratulations. Keep up the good work, well done.
