I migliori ristoranti di cucina italiana in Cosenza

28/06/2025: Passing by, we stopped for breakfast. We ordered an iced tea, a cappuccino, a coffee, two croissants with cream and a mini cream puff for the modest sum of €12.20. They charged us €2.50 for the cappuccino and €1.50 for the mini cream puff (as if it were in the city centre) and an extra croissant for €1.50. I called, so as not to feel like I was being taken for a ride, and at the cashier they couldn't give me the prices but asked me to come back because the guy who had paid the cash at that moment wasn't there. I find this behavior really dishonest and I hope for their sake that it's not the norm. The service also needs to be reviewed. The guy came to pay the cash at his leisure, there were only two customers at the counter. I wouldn't go back for anything.

28/05/2025: Excellent pastry shop and excellent meeting place with hot food

21/08/2025: The welcome wasn't excellent The wine was terrible The food definitely didn't live up to the bill...and it was very salty, too. I didn't want to complain about the bill to come out feeling like a lady. Definitely not recommended.

21/08/2025: Terrible experience. Lack of gluten-free and lactose-free products, and the only meatballs we received (gluten-free) were completely raw. To make up for it, they brought a plate of ham and included both the raw items and the plate in the total. Poor quality wine. Children's menu was charged the same as the adult menu (2 slices of ham and 3 meatballs). Lack of a menu to allow customers to choose at their leisure. When asked for an additional tray of potatoes and meatballs, the staff said there were other customers to serve and there probably wouldn't be enough for everyone. Very expensive bill considering what we were served. I do not recommend.

05/08/2025: As always, delicious. It's been a regular stop in the summer for years now. The salad with tomatoes, onions, and chili peppers is excellent and a must. The octopus is also good. The waitress was very friendly.

02/08/2025: Excellent experience! The quality of the products is top-notch: I ordered a platter, a tomato salad, an octopus and potato salad, and Venere rice. Everything was simply delicious, with authentic flavors and the freshest ingredients. Every dish was meticulously prepared down to the smallest detail. The service was also impeccable: the staff were attentive, friendly, and always available, which made the experience even more enjoyable. Highly recommended, I'll definitely be back!

16/07/2025: A simple, friendly place with ample parking that serves good pizza at an extremely affordable price. I recommend it!

15/06/2025: We ordered a tropix appetizer for two and a plate of linguine with clams for the little girl, to be served together, as a first course two more linguine and a risotto alla pescatore. After about 15 minutes they served us the appetizer composed of an octopus salad in the center, around 1 marinated anchovy and a fried one, a square of marinated swordfish, 2 shrimp in cocktail sauce and a bruschetta, nothing special. The plate of linguine that the little girl was supposed to eat remained intact, she usually goes crazy for this dish so we tasted it, and it didn't taste of anything, in fact it had a strange taste, we turned to the first waiter to cancel the other 2 plates of linguine because if they have the same flavor we don't eat them. Unfortunately they are cooking, he tells us, "if you don't like them you can leave them". And so we did, they had no flavor at all. To conclude they ask us "can we offer you a coffee or a bitter, let's have a coffee On the bill we find the coffees that they had offered us and the linguine that we returned intact. Judge for yourself Total bill €125.50

02/06/2025: Excessive prices for the place, terrible experience with tasteless first courses, shrimps arrived only in the shells, washed pasta tasteless in flavor, worthy of a nursing home, hospital, but one of those in decay and abandonment. Wait with the place half empty, very long, disorganization for the dishes to come out, one eats, others look. I sincerely hope that it was a bad day, but when an owner sees the return of full plates in the kitchen, or whoever watches over him, he should do the math and maybe take a look at the table to find out why this return, asking at least if they should be redone or at least removed from the count. Which did not happen, despite having pointed everything out, with just a little discount as if we were experts or beggars, I forgot grilled tuna for a little girl after she left a simple pasta dish with sauce that arrived after about an hour tasteless, the tuna in brine and with a flavor too strong. I won't go on, I believe it is a constructive criticism and not a polemic, which will make you change the prices, service and quality of the food you are going to present. Tourism starts from welcoming, giving quality and fair price and taking advantage of any complaints and understanding the mistake, taking charge of everything, not thinking only of today, but of a potential customer who perhaps for years was and has been your customer.

30/08/2025: Great pizza, fast service, friendly and helpful service

27/08/2025: A very family-friendly pizzeria, both in terms of the atmosphere and the service. The pizza tasted good, but it was overcooked and a bit small. Typical Calabrian pizza.

14/06/2025: Ho avuto modo di lavorare in questa pizzeria per un periodo e, con la massima sincerità e nel rispetto di tutti, sento di poter condividere la mia esperienza. Dal punto di vista della qualità del prodotto, purtroppo devo dire che la pizza spesso risultava poco cotta, e nel complesso non raggiungeva gli standard che ci si aspetterebbe da un locale del genere. Per quanto riguarda l’ambiente di lavoro, mi dispiace constatare che non è stato sereno. Ho trovato alcune persone poco collaborative e, in certi casi, addirittura maleducate e aggressive, il che ha reso il clima molto pesante. Ci tengo però a sottolineare che i due cuochi rappresentano una piacevole eccezione: professionali, educati e sempre disponibili. Nonostante tutto, considero anche questa esperienza come una lezione importante. Personalmente, non vedevo l’ora di voltare pagina e oggi sono felice di averlo fatto.

12/05/2025: It wasn't easy to find a place open in Castrovillari on a Monday for lunch....but in the end we did it.... It was a very positive experience... The exquisite food (tagliatelle with nduja, mushrooms and more and a cut of meat)... ....very fast service....but it must be said our table was the only one in the whole place... The clean environment, tastefully furnished, the functional and spotless bathrooms.... What can I say... it was worth it... I recommend it!!!!!

25/08/2025: The beach with its own restaurant, which I reviewed separately, is welcoming and well-run! Comfortable and affordable! As is the restaurant! It's hard to find a place in August, with such affordable prices and such comprehensive service! Congratulations!

10/08/2025: Never again! For a Greek salad (which didn't even have all the ingredients) more than 50 minutes. Unbelievable. To pay €10 for it with four tomatoes.

16/08/2025: A fully equipped hotel with a sea view, pool, and entertainment, and the entire hotel staff were fantastic. The food was excellent, but sometimes the dishes were a bit salty and some local specialties, which, although good, weren't quite authentic (like the carbonara with cream), aren't their forte. Breakfast was excellent, with tarts and ring cakes, but the croissants were limited because they were only plain and not particularly crumbly. Overall, however, it's a hotel worth a vacation.

12/08/2025: I really liked the spa. Large hydromassage pool, salt room, infrared shower and two steam rooms - hamam and dry. The administrator was 20 minutes late, did not warn us that it would be later, this should be taken into account if you are pressed for time. The hotel itself is very presentable, with a large pool and a huge banquet hall.

24/07/2025: Gelato buono con grande varietà di gusti, prezzi accessibili, personale molto cortese. Possibilità di prendere anche yogurt

08/06/2025: Good ice cream shop. The best choice in Scalea. The only sore point is that on several occasions the cream machine was broken.

26/05/2025: Tasty and abundant dishes. Excellent premises and services. We were 6 friends and we were all satisfied. We will return

20/03/2025: We went into the restaurant and at first glance it looked like the Lampedusa refugee camp. We went up and there were bags of flour in plain sight, and if the NAS saw them they would set the place on fire. The fried cutlet looked more like human flesh than pork, and the chips were strictly bought at Eurospin after they had expired. When we left I thanked the gentleman and left on my own two feet.

13/08/2025: Must try. I always come back with pleasure.

12/08/2025: Excellent service, friendly staff. Delicious pizza and a lovely location. Highly recommended!

30/08/2025: Wonderful breakfast, a wide variety of croissants, including whole wheat ones, and various pastries, including filled ones. Excellent cappuccino and coffee. Super fair prices: coffee at the table €1, cappuccino €1.50, croissants €1.50. In Cosenza, the "madness" of prices has now reached almost every café: cappuccinos are €1.70-€1.80, coffee €1.20-€1.30, croissants €1.80-€2.00, and often they're not even good quality. Definitely worth returning.

27/08/2025: I go there often. There's a lot of disorganization in the place. You ask for one thing and they bring you another. You point it out correctly, they come and take it, pretend to change it, and come back with the same thing. Furthermore, their menu doesn't have a wide selection. I wanted something and it wasn't there. For example, a crepe. They replied, "We haven't made that for four years." So, change the menu. I'm pregnant and I had a craving. I got up and went somewhere else. It used to be a truly decent Top Flight, but now they work so hard and the customers are NEVER, LITERALLY NEVER satisfied.

03/08/2025: Posso solo dire che era tutto perfetto, dalla climatizzazione ai piatti, non ho mai mangiato un piatto di tonno così buono

23/07/2025: Abbiamo cenato per ben due volte in questo ristorante durante il nostro soggiorno a Roseto. Un pallino solo per la prima sera, in cui abbiamo mangiato antipasto di pesce e pizza che erano discretamente buoni, per cui decidiamo di tornare per mangiare un primo, sembravano infatti molto invitanti. Delusione totale. Le linguine cozze e vongole senza alcun sapore di mare: linguine all'olio, con cozze e vongole letteralmente buttate sulla pasta, tra di essi non c'era nessun filo di connessione. Inoltre abbiamo ordinato un piatto di orecchiette zucchine e tonno. Le zucchine???? Praticamente inesistenti. Già all'arrivo del piatto ci guardiamo straniti perché si vedevano solo pomodori datterini e il cameriere risponde non si vedono ma ci sono. Infatti fin dal primo boccone abbiamo notato che erano solo pomodorini. La mia domanda prima di ordinare il piatto è stata precisa : come sono le zucchine? In crema o a pezzi ? La risposta: sia in crema che a pezzi. Dopo aver pagato il conto lo faccio presente al cameriere che faceva cassa e, dopo aver affermato che nonostante ciò il piatto era buono, mi risponde, anche in maniera presuntuosa e non disponibile al dialogo, che loro cucinano così. Bene anzi benissimo perché visto che non sapete distinguere le zucchine dai datterini non ci ritorneremo mai più. Sconsigliato!!!! Ci sono ristoranti a Roseto dove si mangia decisamente meglio, il personale è molto più cortese e molto probabilmente non vieni nemmeno preso in giro.
