I migliori ristoranti di cucina italiana in Cosenza

11/05/2026: We got a great table right away, even with our dog. The service was friendly, the decor rather simple, but that fits the region well. We were particularly impressed by the large 50x50 cm pizza, which you can combine with various toppings – ideal for 3-4 people. It tasted fantastic, the price was absolutely fair, and the wait time was reasonable. Tip: don't arrive too late, as it can take a bit longer otherwise. The owner is spirited but very welcoming.

03/05/2026: It was a truly awful evening from start to finish. Food: The pizza was really poorly made. Poor ingredients, unpleasant flavor. I couldn't even finish it. Service: Frustrating experience. We waited forever, and the staff was cold, almost annoyed. No customer service. Ambience: The place is neglected and poorly maintained. It doesn't make you feel comfortable. Honestly, I wouldn't recommend it. For the price we paid, there are much better places in the area. I wouldn't go back.

05/06/2026: We stayed in this property in the apartment with a kitchenette. The apartment is well-designed and well-appointed, welcoming, and located above the pool area, very close to the hotel and just a stone's throw from the sea, which is fantastic. Their lido was excellent, and was still being renovated when we arrived. The staff were extremely friendly and polite, both at reception and in the breakfast room, not to mention Salvo at the pool bar, who was truly top-notch. The lifeguard was also very kind (unfortunately, I don't remember his name 😅). This is a 3-star hotel/property, and it's very close to being a 4-star. A courtesy kit of towels for the bathroom would be enough, the clothesline a little easier to open (not even the cleaner could open ours), and better cleaning, especially in the more hidden areas. I will definitely be back for another wonderful weekend in the fantastic Santa Maria del Cedro area.

03/05/2026: We stayed only one night after booking for two nights we left due to poor comfort and other very restless guests!

28/06/2026: We happened upon this place for lunch, and I must say I was surprised to see so many negative reviews. I can't comment on the appetizers; the place is a bit basic (but like many in the area), but we had an excellent mixed antipasto, a well-made pasta with clams, and, on the lady's recommendation, delicious tagliolini with cicadas. The prices were reasonable. The owners were very friendly... I'd say it's a good choice.

18/06/2026: Spritz: €8 Service: Better than Yassine in Policoro Ambience: Plastic chairs and a child eating pasta at his grandmother's house, as well as the owner, who and her husband decided to charge me €8 for a spritz to get a good return on investment. Recommended! (To the worst scoundrel) 🥰

17/05/2026: Very friendly and attentive staff, a friendly dog, and a wonderful view of the sunny hills. We highly recommend it!

04/01/2026: Today, January 4th, we had lunch at All’Antica Filanda, in the Giardini della Sila, and it was a wonderful experience. Platters of high-quality local cured meats and cheeses, authentic and well-presented ingredients. The first courses were fantastic, with authentic flavors that reflect the local area. A special thanks to Nicola, the owner: a truly friendly, welcoming person who makes you feel at home right away. We will definitely be back. Highly recommended!

22/01/2026: The pizza is good, but we caught a night when they had karaoke and the volume of the speakers was shocking. We finished the pizza quickly and ran away.

02/01/2026: We called to order two pizzas for delivery. The number was dialed incorrectly several times. Furthermore, the pizzas arrived 48 minutes late. Placing the delivery driver and me, who ordered, in a difficult situation. One last thing!! There was no willingness to repair the damage done. Neither a discount nor any other way to accommodate the customer. Terrible!

15/07/2026: If I could not give even one star, I would... but alas, that's not possible. RUDE STAFF TO SAY THE LEAST. I encountered a rude and boastful waitress. She came to the table, throwing the price list/menu at us. We left shortly afterward because we'd forgotten something and APOLOGIZED (by the way, she was just seeing to take our order, so we didn't even bother ordering and preparing something without eating it). She responded in a pitiful tone. We then decided to return, because the location was also "decent" (decent because, unfortunately, the beach bar didn't allow wet swimsuits, which we unfortunately had on). We ordered 2 mojitos... well, what can I say... DEFINITELY NOT THEIR STRONGEST PIECE!!!! The only decent thing was the fries on the side (good job, guys! At least give me that!!) I don't know how this bar manages to survive, perhaps partly because of the restaurant, which was actually very inviting. We even considered returning for dinner, but fearing we'd see certain people again, we decided to avoid it. It's a shame, because you're really losing your customers. Please, review your staff and maybe even your drink recipes.

04/07/2026: We visited the bar often during our holiday and would like to thank Clarissa for welcoming and pampering us every time. She was friendly and professional!

29/05/2026: The staff were really rude. The waitress asked me what I wanted, and while I was asking what juices they had, she walked away just as I was speaking. She came back and very rudely told me they didn't have what I wanted. Annoyed, she listed a few flavors for me. When I go to get anything at a bar, even a bottle of water, this is not the attitude I expect from the staff. It's the first and last time I'll set foot here.

22/05/2026: Prices are too high. Today they even scammed us. The receipt had already been paid at the register (a short waiter with glasses was present) by a young man at the table, and when we were leaving, they told us that nothing had been paid (by the same person as before).

06/06/2026: The owner was very kind, and above all, it was the only beach club open after walking about half an hour along the Paola seafront on the last weekend of May. A positive turnaround for the day.
