I migliori ristoranti di cucina italiana in Cosenza

26/08/2025: An experience so surreal it seemed like a comedy sketch... if it hadn't been real. We were kicked out of the tavern for no clear reason, with anything but courteous manners. The welcome? Nonexistent. The politeness? Lost among the daily specials. In an era when restaurants should focus entirely on hospitality and quality service, here they have confidently chosen the opposite path. If you're looking for good food accompanied by a human and civilized atmosphere, look elsewhere. Here, they serve (perhaps) warm dishes, but decidedly cold hearts.

09/08/2025: Dishes are prepared based on market-sourced fish. Some dishes can be customized. Meatballs, fried anchovies, and mussels are highly recommended.

16/09/2025: I'm only reviewing the food since I stopped in for a quick lunch. Service was quick; my dish arrived about 3 minutes after ordering. I had a caprese salad and a Nastro beer. I would have expected a slightly larger portion than the caprese, given that it cost me €10. Still, it was good. The tomato sauce was plain. A fairly light dish. You can sit down after 3:00 PM, since I arrived a few minutes late. Coffee included. All for €14.

03/09/2025: A good bar, with excellent coffees and cocktails.

31/10/2025: Craving an aperitivo, I found myself there—unfortunately, I might add. The gentlemen, then, acted as if we weren't there; they brought us two bruschettas with cherry tomatoes and an open sardine (the garnish was from a can, most likely from the sardine itself) on a single plate. The spritzes, which were also hand-carried and without a tray, came to €8 each (if I'd gone to Milan's central station, I'd have spent less). The two-star atmosphere honestly reminds me of a kebab shop, which, judging by the plastic chairs and tables filthy with leftovers and insects, takes me back to the golden days of when I was a youngster after an incredible evening. PS: They won't give you a receipt even if you pay a fortune.

19/10/2025: Excellent service and fresh and delicious food 😋. Perfect customer service and a very lovely chef 👩‍🍳 👌 Highly recommended 👌 👍🏻 👏 💯

08/12/2025: A truly positive experience! If you plan to visit "ai Giganti," don't miss the opportunity to stop and eat in this little corner of paradise! Warm welcome, ideal dishes, and a perfect blend of flavor and tradition. Highly recommended if you're looking for a satisfying and relaxing experience!

13/09/2025: After our walk in the Sila Giants Park, having worked up an appetite in the fresh air, my husband and I decided to have lunch. At the exit of the park, there was a restaurant with outdoor seating. The view around the restaurant was truly splendid, the nature enchanting. But unfortunately, our desire to have lunch there quickly faded. We couldn't find a table with a clean tablecloth to sit at. The chairs were also in terrible condition, and since I was wearing light-colored clothing, I didn't have the courage to sit. We limited ourselves to coffee (which, incidentally, was one of the most expensive I've ever had in Calabria). The atmosphere inside is a little better, but with such beautiful views around the restaurant, you'd want to sit on the terrace. Please pay more attention to cleanliness, and I'm sure customers will come in large numbers. Best regards.

27/04/2025: Premetto che ero già stato piu volte in questo locale (la mia ultima presenza risaliva al gennaio 2024) quasi sempre di sabato sera. In tutte le occasioni avevo sempre avuto una discreta impressione generale tra qualità della musica live e a sprazzi anche del cibo. Decido di tornare dopo un po di tempo insieme ad un paio di amici per trascorrere un sabato sera tranquillo. Piú che parlare di cosa ho mangiato o del fatto che il locale fosse fondamentale semi vuoto fino alle 23 circa mi soffermo sull’episodio a mio parere “discutibile” che ha minato la credibilità del locale. Intorno alle 23.15 per un “imprevisto” siamo costretti anzitempo a lasciare il locale con l’intento di ritornare molto presto.. Nel farlo saldiamo il conto e chiediamo alla cassa se fosse possibile rientrare piu tardi, ci assicurano di si ricordando il numero del tavolo. Poco dopo lo scoccare della mezzanotte rientriamo prontamente presso il locale e al momento del nostro rientro ci viene detto che si trattava di “dopocena” e per farlo avremmo dovuto pagare ben 10€ a persona per la consumazione! Chiaramente una mancanza di rispetto simile per chi ha avuto un imprevisto dopo che ci era stato detto che saremmo potuto rientrare non può essere tollerata. Sarebbe stato più opportuno dirlo prima che il secondo ingresso si sarebbe dovuto pagare. Un pò come andare in discoteca, fare 2 passi fuori e al ritorno mi facessero pagare l’ingresso da capo: mai visto! Specialmente perché avevamo prenotato il tavolo delle 21.30 proprio con l’intento di rimanere a lungo. Onestamente c’è stato poco da controbattere.. L’episodio si commenta da solo.
