I migliori ristoranti di cucina italiana in Cosenza

27/09/2025: I had the pleasure of dining at Cannarutia, and the experience exceeded my expectations! I've rarely found such high-quality cuisine and service that makes you feel truly at home. Its immediately striking strength is the incredibly kind staff. From the moment we arrived, they were smiling, attentive, and ready to accommodate our every request with admirable availability. Their thoughtfulness made the entire evening relaxing and enjoyable. But what makes this restaurant a true gem is its inclusive cuisine, especially for those with specific dietary needs. Since my wife is gluten-intolerant, finding VALUABLE and non-trivial options is often a challenge, but here the gluten-free selection is vast, creative, and top-notch. I was able to choose from appetizers, first courses, pizza, and desserts without having to sacrifice flavor or fear cross-contamination. This level of attention and care for intolerant diners deserves special praise: the ability to enjoy a complete and delicious dinner in complete safety is a huge added value. The dishes were exquisite, prepared with fresh ingredients and carefully presented. From the first course to the last, you could feel Chef Ernesto's passion and mastery. La Cannarutia is a must-visit. If you're looking for a place where hospitality is genuine and the food quality is excellent, with attention to everyone's needs (especially the gluten-free options), you won't be disappointed! Highly recommended!

30/08/2025: A recent discovery for me, but a pleasant surprise. My wife also enjoyed it, and in many ways it's a place we go to eat often, not just for special occasions... well done for the menu and the availability.

30/04/2025: Very warm welcome Good pizza, the price is a nice change from France for a quality pizza Bonus: free Nutella pizza for dessert Thank you Molte grazie

06/10/2025: The reviews are unanimous: the bistro in question is a respectable, if not brilliant, benchmark in the (meager) culinary scene of the historic center. One could honestly say that the place has potential, but it's untapped. However, it's inevitable that the enthusiasm for this "shop" also reveals a lack of commitment to excellence, a sign that has been seen very rarely. The real problem, what is professionally unspeakable and what seems to be a sadly widespread trend in the city, lies in the superficial and sloppy way the place presents itself to customers. Guests are welcomed into a barely presentable outdoor area, a precarious and dilapidated shack. This space, patched up with plastic sheeting, makeshift overhead trellises that serve as tie-rods, and adorned with withered plants, is not only unsightly, but culminates in a niche of smelly garbage cans. This unpresentability isn't a detail: it's the symptom of a profound lack of care and respect for the customer and the public space. Perhaps spoiled by diners who are silent and almost blind to this context, they limit themselves to extolling the cuisine at the expense of the service, understood as the result of all interactions, including the decor and the outdoor setting, considering it a completely marginal element. This creates a cultural paradox: people are willing to turn a blind eye to where they eat a meal to enjoy culinary excellence. The fundamental concept remains unchanged: how you appear, you are. As far as I'm concerned, even the most modest trattoria should demonstrate care for its exterior, be tidy and welcoming. Focusing solely on the cuisine is a mistake that perpetuates the culture of sloppiness and fails to sublimate into the attention to detail that reflects respect for the customer. Until even the diner demands service that embraces decorum and respect for aesthetics, we will continue to celebrate bland excellence, because quality cannot and should not be limited to the dish; it must encompass every aspect of commercial and civic interaction.

25/05/2025: Wind's Eden restaurant-pizzeria combines tradition and quality in a welcoming and well-kept environment. The homemade pasta is a real delight. The cured meats, also home-made, are an excellence that deserves to be tasted. The pizza is light, digestible, with a crispy dough at the right point, a sign of a long leavening and great experience with fresh and top-quality ingredients. In this place there is no lack of attention to the needs of all customers, gluten-free and lactose-free options, home-made. The gluten-free and lactose-free desserts are sublime. The staff is another strong point: polite, kind and always available. You can perceive the passion and care for the customer in every detail of the service.

09/09/2025: The food was excellent, the service impeccable, and the owner's son was very friendly, welcoming, and knowledgeable about the dishes, wines, and spirits. Reasonable prices in the summer, and the garden location.

09/09/2025: Truly excellent restaurant. Every time I'm here in Calabria on vacation, I choose to eat there because it truly is one of the best aperitifs in the area. I usually go there in a group of three, spending €10-20 each, which is absolutely worth it. Exceptional value for money. As for the staff, I have nothing to complain about; they're truly kind and often friendly; we've never had a misunderstanding. The wait is practically non-existent. The atmosphere may not be the best, but the sea view outside while eating is so perfect. The appetizer is truly exquisite and absolutely worth it; every time I eat there, it's our main course. Not to mention the pasta, which is truly flavorful and not at all bland like it often can be. I highly recommend it to anyone in the area; it's absolutely worth it! Every time I come here, it's the first place I try.

17/05/2025: I went to this place for lunch today. Quality, price, food: good, excellent fish dishes, good service, pleasant atmosphere, quiet place, clean bathroom, ample parking, excellent location, professional waiter. For me, it's a yes.

11/05/2025: Sometimes our xenophilia in looking for the great fish restaurant outside our territory is exasperating, without knowing that really just a few steps from home, there is the Red Elephant, which is a small compendium of all these most illustrious colleagues, and also a small happy oasis in which to refresh ourselves The fish is really fresh and cooked properly without many frills Excellent quality/price ratio Super recommended

28/08/2025: Beautiful restaurant, perfect if you want fresh fish at great prices. Impeccable and super-fast service. Very good wine.

25/08/2025: My friend and I were pleasantly surprised by this seafood restaurant: original, fresh, and tasty dishes; an elegant, refined, and welcoming atmosphere; and professional, attentive, and friendly wait staff. We'll definitely be back to try other specialties.
