I migliori ristoranti di cucina italiana in Cosenza

22/08/2025: On our way back from Paola, we decided to try this restaurant in the ancient village of Belmonte. The staff were very friendly and welcoming. We took the chef up on a suggestion, and he prepared an excellent pacchero with amberjack. The price was perhaps a little steep...but you pay for quality food.

18/08/2025: I dined at Taverna Intru u Vicu with a group of friends. Let me start by saying that the location is stunning: both the terrace and the alleyway will surely provide guests with an unforgettable experience. The service was kind and friendly, without being intrusive, and the owner and waiter made us feel at home. The house wine, served during dinner, was also excellent. As for the menu, the owner's innovation was much appreciated. No dish was banal, and the flavors were well-balanced. The tuna on tomato steak and the pickled tuna (€16-18) are definitely worth trying as appetizers. I personally ordered the mixed fried fish (€22), which was good, fresh, and crispy, but perhaps a bit small for a main course. In conclusion, absolutely recommended for those looking for an unconventional dinner in an excellent location. For eight of us, with four appetizers, eight courses, wine, drinks, and two shared desserts, we spent about €50 each.

12/05/2025: You can eat a healthy and genuine dish thanks to the good cuisine offered by the chef. Waiting times are normal and the service is quite fast.

03/03/2025: Qualità e cortesia al top, cibo di qualità cucinato tradizionalmente, gustoso, porzioni abbondanti, servizio celere, ambiente molto accogliente. Ottimo rapporto qualità-prezzo.

14/09/2025: If you are in Diamante and fancy meat please visit, top quality Filetto di Manzo at top prices, super attentive service, also the Antipasti di Casa is a dream☺️

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.

16/11/2025: An experience to forget. We had lunch at the osteria on a warm and quiet Sunday. To get things done, we ordered quickly, but we already encountered the first problem: the wine arrived after about 15 minutes, and only then was it urge. We waited about an hour and twenty minutes for the first meatballs. Once the first courses arrived, another unpleasant surprise: the pasta and chickpeas were forgettable. They lacked salt, and the legumes were rock hard, even the gnocchi with meat sauce were forgettable. We waited for the mixed grill, but another unpleasant surprise: the meat was practically completely burned and inedible. The sausage was a record-breaking... pure carbon! While we waited between courses, the waiter was wiping down the tables with degreaser, oblivious to the dishes on the neighboring tables. The bill was average; we expressed disappointment at everything that had happened. The owner apologized and deducted the grilled food (the minimum) from our bill.

15/11/2025: I found myself at this osteria by chance with my family. Perfect welcome with an excellent welcome appetizer. Everything we ordered was well explained and served. You can see the care taken with the ingredients, and the flavor is excellent. I highly recommend this place to everyone. I felt pampered. Thank you to all the staff at this place for their attention. CONGRATULATIONS.

19/10/2025: Nice and informal atmosphere, Pizza 🔝 Pulcinella is truly there and appears unexpectedly out of nowhere 😉

13/09/2025: Pulcinella at chianchetta number one cordial And everything good eat the dogs

20/11/2025: The location is nice. The welcome was there. The typical local wine was very good. Highly recommended.

06/10/2025: Wonderful experience. Everything was perfect, from the food to the staff, impeccable service. Very welcoming location. Congratulations!

08/10/2025: We went for dinner. Traditional, simple, and high-quality dishes. Salvatore is the best in customer service. Next time we cycle the parks' cycle path, we'll stay overnight. HOORAY!

28/09/2025: For me, the best gluten-free pizza! I've tried many gluten-free pizzas, but none compare to this pizzeria. It's the only one that truly reminds me of the authentic flavor of traditional pizza! Light dough, well-cooked, quality ingredients: it's a guarantee every time. For those with celiac disease or intolerances and looking for a real pizza, this is a must-try! Highly recommended!

17/11/2025: We celebrated both our son's first and second birthdays. What can I say? Highly recommended. The kids had fun and we relaxed. They were happy, and we were happy. See you next time!

08/11/2025: 👍 Strengths: Guaranteed Fun: The atmosphere is wonderful, and the kids had a blast with all the inflatables available. It's the perfect environment to let off steam! Exquisite Food: The cuisine deserves a special mention. I tried the pizza, and it was truly excellent—a true delicacy! Perfect for dinner. Excellent Staff: The staff was extremely kind and helpful, ready to accommodate any of our requests with a smile. ⚠️ Only Constructive Note: Inflatable Safety The only thing I would like to mention, and which may be a personal concern, concerns safety around the inflatables. I would have liked to see more dedicated entertainers supervising the area. Since there are children of different ages playing together, when they slip, there's a risk of them falling on each other. Increasing supervision in that area, in my opinion, would significantly improve the overall experience and provide parents with peace of mind. Despite this small point about security, the experience was extremely positive. We'll definitely be back!

02/11/2025: Everything was delicious, and the owner was incredibly friendly. I highly recommend it. :)

25/10/2025: A pleasant discovery, everything was really beautiful

27/11/2025: Everything was great. The guys were kind and friendly.

02/11/2025: We weren't satisfied with the service. We ordered the wrong type of pasta, no main course was brought, and we had to ask for water, bread, and coffee several times. The lady tried to fix everything, but they need someone else to serve the tables. The dishes are average. P.S. Put up a sign at the entrance to the little street, otherwise the entrance won't be visible. The place is very beautiful with a magnificent view of Amantea.

24/09/2025: That's how you like southern Italy. We were there for lunch and only had the appetizer platter. An overwhelming selection, good quality, and extremely affordable. And to top it all off, a truly family-friendly atmosphere – simply perfect.

21/09/2025: Beautiful place, you are close to the sea, the owner very kind and helpful, the dishes excellent, we had a mixed platter and a seafood risotto cooked well, the rice and spaghetti with mussels excellent

09/11/2025: Frozen ice cream and how does it taste? Sad

07/11/2025: Our go-to gelato shop. An endless selection of flavors to suit all tastes. For those with intolerances and diabetes, they can accommodate all your needs. You'll find the best gelato only here. We've been enjoying their gelato for years and it's never disappointed.

02/09/2025: All things considered, the experience would be positive; the problem is taking one thing at a time. The food is good, but the portions vary depending on who prepares them. The service is somewhat chaotic; a few more people and the situation becomes critical. The space is cramped (there are tables that almost spill out onto the adjacent street...) and the smell is... stomach-churning.

30/08/2025: Fried fish and seafood delicacies prepared with care and using fresh, authentic ingredients. A family-friendly, informal atmosphere. Excellent value.
