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.

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

13/09/2025: Unfortunately, the kitchen has closed. Mr. Peluso is a man from another era.

14/06/2025: I give 4 stars out of 5 not for a concrete lack, but simply because I have not yet had the opportunity to try the attached restaurant. However, the experience I had in the delicatessen and butcher's shop was more than enough to give me a very positive idea of ​​the overall quality of the business. The meat is always fresh, well selected and of excellent quality, as are the delicatessen products, which offer an interesting and well-curated variety. The staff was kind, helpful and competent, helping to create a welcoming and professional atmosphere. The prices are absolutely affordable, considering the quality offered, and the environment is clean, tidy and well managed in every aspect. While waiting to be able to evaluate the restaurant part, I still feel like strongly recommending this business, which already stands out for its efficiency, care and quality.

25/07/2025: Everything was delicious, from the courtesy and attentiveness of the staff to the taste of the excellent quality food, cooked with skill and a pinch of imagination that never hurts.

03/04/2025: On a Thursday evening in early April, the gem of Rende may be very quiet. The cuisine and service at this traditional restaurant are nevertheless top-notch. We received very good quality food, from the antipasto to the dessert. It was a wonderful evening.

12/09/2025: Special place, spectacular view, excellent service, excellent menu.

01/07/2025: You eat well in a very well air-conditioned restaurant

27/07/2025: I went there with some friends of mine, we had a lot of fun, we ate very well (the pizza is very good) and the home-made food even better. The people who work there are good, very polite and kind. They treat you very well. The kitchen is fast, the food arrives immediately. The bathrooms are very clean, spacious and very simple.

26/07/2025: The ancient walls are a WELCOMING, peaceful place, and the food is AMAZING. It has a rustic style, and any request is ACCEPTED. The dishes are served by NUMBER ONE waiters, in fact, I go there all the time. SALVATORE, the owner, is a TREASURE, he cooks well and it's WONDERFUL. Thank you for the emotions he gives me every time.

05/10/2025: The food is excellent, with attention to both taste and presentation. The service also deserves special mention: the staff are friendly and helpful.

01/10/2025: All good things come in threes... so I've come here periodically, changing my style: I didn't quite hit the mark this time either; perhaps too much pretension, yet at the end of the season, a weekday evening, quiet, few patrons, another night was a disappointment. I'm not giving up, there'll be a fourth time... I think.

26/10/2025: I have to give it three stars for a few reasons: 1) First, the appetizer was a bit lackluster. Nine of us had asked for a platter of cured meats and cheeses that would satisfy everyone, which unfortunately didn't happen. Some people ate the cured meats and cheeses, others didn't. The fried foods were honestly good. 2) The service was a bit slow, partly due to the full dining room, but while some people ate, others waited for their portions to arrive. The pasta was good (giancaleone and pumpkin gnocchi with scamorza). The broccoli rabe and sausage were also decent, as was the grilled caciocavallo. Unfortunately, I can't say the same about the potatoes; they were anything but fried.

29/09/2025: Excellent value for money, traditional Cosenza cuisine "just like grandma used to make," and attentive and friendly service. We'll definitely be back!

06/10/2025: I arrived too early however, the staff were very accomondating and allowed me to stay and for awhile I had the whole resaurant to myself. I was sat in the cave like area which was very atmospheric, clean and the decor was suitable with the music helping with the whole experience. The staff were wearing smiling faces and looked happy to be of service! I orded a carafe of house wine which was very welcoming after the soaking I got finding my AirBnB. The choice of meal was a hot one after travelling from Lamezia airort eating cold foods from bars, so I decided on the Mixed meat grill with a salad all cooked fresh apart from the salad lol. The local lemon cheescake was the best ever I have tasted in all my 72 years on the planet, drunk down with a local limoncello perfectto.

03/10/2025: The location is beautiful, but what about the appetizers? We had a seafood appetizer, which wasn't very generous, and a house appetizer with a slice of each cured meat and some vegetables. Both were out of proportion for the price.

10/09/2025: Even after many years, this venue continues to excel in every way: professionalism, availability, kindness, courtesy, quality, and much more. Recommended for any event, you couldn't find a better one.

20/08/2025: The food is unquestionably good. Excellent spaghetti with clams and exquisite fried fish. The portions are small, especially the first course. I spent the best evenings of my youth there, but now it's become a restaurant not for everyone's budget.

09/09/2025: A very convenient hotel for visiting Basilicata and beyond. Clean rooms. Very kind and friendly staff.

01/09/2025: We had dinner, everything was excellent, the table service could be improved a little with more staff... I recommend it!

14/09/2025: Couple's dinner, we waited about 20 minutes to receive a menu, and another 40 minutes to order, excellent food and friendly staff but the organization absolutely needs to be reviewed, because you can't wait about 1 hour and 20 minutes from arrival to the first bite.

23/08/2025: Excellent seafood restaurant, very friendly staff, and a welcoming atmosphere. Prices are more than reasonable.

09/03/2025: Il connubio perfetto per gustare cibo in una location unica tra colori,storia e cultura gastronomica! Non è la prima volta che ceno in questo bellissimo ristorante,ritornarci è sempre stupore di gusto e armonia nel condividere una bella serata!

05/12/2024: Ottima cucina e bellissima location con cura di particolari nell arredamento

11/10/2025: Stunning facility. Super friendly and always available staff. The wellness program was meticulously organized and incredibly relaxing. Heated pools inside the facility with comfortable loungers. Excellent breakfast, plentiful and varied. We had dinner in their bistro, the food was quality. I highly recommend everyone to visit.

13/09/2025: Having planned a trip to Sila, my husband and I decided to stay at the Biafora Hotel. We booked a junior suite for two, with a spa and pool. I'll start with the room: I'm giving it 3 stars because some details need updating (including the in-room whirlpool tub, which has yellowish rust stains inside). The view from the window is stunning. The staff is friendly and polite. I really enjoyed the spa visit, as well as the pool. The breakfast was extraordinary, very tasty and beautifully presented. Overall, I can recommend this hotel; I was left with a good impression.
