20/10/2025: We chose Palia's Hotel as a strategic base for exploring Calabria's parks by bike, and it was a great choice. Ample parking, including a covered car park, a private garage for bicycles (with tools for minor maintenance available), comfortable and clean rooms, and the kindness and enthusiasm of Roberto (the owner), who, along with his wife (an excellent pastry chef), recommended and prepared superb breakfasts for us, making themselves available for any needs we had. It's a shame they no longer have a restaurant, but the bar is well-stocked, and there's a large display of excellent local products you can purchase to create a wonderful memory of these beautiful lands. Thanks again.

20/10/2025: I want to express my sincere gratitude and appreciation for Hotel Palia's, and especially for its manager, Roberto. His warmth, professionalism, and friendliness made my stay a truly unforgettable experience. Roberto was always available and ready to help me at any time, making my stay even more enjoyable. His attention to detail and eagerness to please were truly appreciated. I highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a welcoming and professional place to stay. Thank you so much, Roberto, for your hospitality and courtesy!

13/09/2025: The employee, Davide Muoio, displays the menus in a deceptive manner when ordering. I asked for traditional fries, without the added fondue or anything else, and my receipt included four packets of ketchup and mayonnaise, for a total of €1.20 more. The problem isn't the negligible extra charge, but rather the way he's fooling the customer. I reported the matter to the person in charge, who justified his actions by saying he'd offered me three different options: fries with fondue, with bacon, or classic fries with the added sauces. That's the problem! I wanted traditional fries, without sauces, so he should have offered a fourth option as well… A chain this successful can't afford these low-profile games.

13/09/2025: I was traveling and when I saw the sign (mi'Ndujo), it caught my eye, and out of curiosity, I decided to stop in, without anyone having told me about it or having read any reviews. The staff was friendly and helpful, and the sandwiches were delicious, so I recommend it, and when I come back, I'll definitely stop in again. 😉

15/10/2025: We stayed at Donna Bianca's on a recommendation. Even though we were the only campers, she gave us a warm welcome and enchanted us with her delicious menu.

12/10/2025: Very kind and helpful lady, we will definitely be back.

10/11/2025: For work in Trebisacce, I stayed two nights at this masseria. Beautiful views, a beautiful complex, and excellent food. Excellent for events and vacations, with a lovely outdoor pool.

25/09/2025: We were here just for dinner. There are two menus: fish or meat. We each had one, and both were excellent. The service is very attentive and friendly. There's a good wine selection. We've been here several times now and will be back soon. Even when we bring friends, everyone is always impressed.

16/11/2025: Generous portions, all very tasty and well seasoned, recommended

09/11/2025: We were in Calabria for 24 hours, yet we ate at Osteria San Francesco twice. A friend recommended this restaurant to us, and I have to say it was one of the most beautiful and authentic experiences I'll ever remember in this region. The restaurant, run by two brothers, is small but very welcoming. The food is amazing, and Francesco is a truly friendly person. What I also really appreciated was the atmosphere in this restaurant: there are only a few seats, and the people at the various tables chat as if they've known each other forever. The fish and meat are excellent! Highly recommended!!! The president and friends of Villa Badessa

28/10/2025: The best pizza in Scalea 🥳😍we love coming back here and we are always satisfied ☝️🥳 in addition to the delicious pizza, there is also a nice staff ☝️🤩

28/10/2025: Absolute luxury! One of the best pizzas I've ever had – the dough was perfect, crispy yet fluffy, the ingredients were fresh and the taste was perfectly balanced. The service was nice, fast and the atmosphere was pleasant. When you say Italy, this is exactly how I imagine a real pizza – simple, honest and irresistibly tasty. I will definitely come back here every time I visit Scalea! 🇮

28/09/2025: A truly excellent family-run restaurant. We're obviously talking about a small town setting: you won't find Barolo risotto, Quiche Lorraine, Confit de Canard, or other gourmet dishes. But here in Santa Domenica and the surrounding area, it's one of the best restaurants: a truly deserved 5 stars, thanks to its simple, traditional, authentic, and delicious cuisine. There's nothing better for spending an evening with family or friends on a budget (I've attached the entire menu), eating well without feeling full, in a pleasant setting (a large, glass-enclosed terrace with spectacular views, suitable even in winter) with efficient and courteous service. Be careful with the appetizers, which are always generous: the house appetizer (€18 for 2) is supposed to serve two, but is more than enough for three. The first courses are excellent. The "della casa" and "bellavista" cavatielli are particularly popular, as are the ravioli and, for those who like spicy food, the "paccheri alla calabrese." A friend of mine comes here especially for the wild boar ragù: in his opinion, it's the best he's ever eaten. One small flaw is the second course menu: it's a bit limited in terms of selection and exclusively for meat. The positive aspects are that, after the appetizer and first course, you usually skip the second course and move straight to dessert; the meat is also excellent. The desserts are typically homemade: varied and traditional, that is, rustic, all homemade by Mrs. Michelle. Very good in my opinion, but those who don't appreciate this kind of thing can happily opt for the exquisite sorbets and Sicilian granitas. The pizzeria offers a wide selection, excellent quality (if you like your pizza not too thick, known here as "Roman-style"), and above all, affordable. Parking is on the street and isn't always easy. The restrooms are clean but space is limited, making it somewhat difficult for wheelchair users. Finally, the terrace is not accessible (it's on the first floor, with rather narrow stairs). The view, however, is spectacular even from the ground floor.

26/09/2025: Delicious home-cooked food, homemade pasta, hearty vegetarian appetizers, and spectacular coastal views. Definitely worth it.

17/10/2025: A unique experience, a family dinner. Impeccable food. Qualified staff, available to meet our every request. The owner welcomed us in a fantastic way. Highly recommended.

16/10/2025: Everything was really excellent, congratulations

11/10/2025: Le Baccanti is one of those restaurants that captivates you from the first moment. The atmosphere is elegant yet welcoming, with meticulous attention to detail, exuding warmth and authenticity. The cuisine is extraordinary: traditional Calabrian dishes revisited with flair and creativity, always made with fresh, top-quality ingredients. Every course is a discovery—from appetizers to desserts, everything is perfectly balanced and carefully presented. The wine list is also excellent, with expertly selected local and national labels. The staff is professional, courteous, and always available, making every guest feel at the center of the experience. The quality-price ratio is absolutely balanced for the level of cuisine and service. A must-visit in San Marco Argentano: a gastronomic experience that combines taste, elegance, and authentic passion. I'll be back with pleasure! 🍷✨

02/10/2025: Cucina Top personale Top gestione Top

04/10/2025: For a simple coffee at an outside table, I was charged €2.30: truly excessive. If the service entails such a premium, I expect at least some professionalism—not that they'd forget the sugar with the coffee and, later, the fork for dessert.

27/09/2025: The menu is delicious and the ingredients are top-quality, from Sicilian grandmother's caponata to the grand finale with sensational desserts. Aromatic and delicate cocktails (I thought I'd never drink one again, but here they succeeded!). The staff and owner are friendly, courteous, and British (and some of us were very patient, as it was our first time there). A truly unique venue, elegant and refined in every way: the decor, furnishings, and background music are perfect for spending an evening chatting with friends. A top-notch venue for top-notch guests.

08/09/2025: Beautiful place, delicious food, and friendly staff. I can't wait to go back.

30/08/2025: Highly recommended for anyone looking for a place to stop during a hike or bike/motorcycle tour. A simple but well-maintained place, run by friendly and courteous staff. A variety of sandwiches and main dishes are available, including several vegetarian options. Great for motorbikers: you can park on the side of the road and easily keep an eye on your luggage!
