I migliori ristoranti di cucina italiana in Cosenza

17/07/2025: Hello I'm giving 5 stars so as not to penalize a restaurant owner who I hope will be constructive, because that evening was a disaster. The restaurant owner asked me to be honest when writing my review. We arrived at 7:10 p.m. because the website states the hours are 11 a.m. to midnight. This is incorrect. They were kind enough to serve us at 7:30 p.m., even though the kitchen actually opens at 8 p.m. We were delighted! In the meantime, we had a bottle of water on an outdoor terrace whose seats were completely ruined, dirty, and the cushions (white ones in the photos) were missing. Your photos on your website are 5 years old and are completely misleading, as is the state of your ponds, which are teeming with algae. Regarding the restaurant, The table service was excellent. The lady was extremely polite and helpful. On the other hand, a kitchen employee came to the end of the terrace twice to observe. Our dishes were really way too salty; at this point, it's not about liking or not liking, it's a mistake that keeps happening. My trio: I couldn't eat the shrimp because they were practically raw. I tried a forkful of swordfish; it was extremely cooked, as hard as a brick, while the salmon was edible, so I ate it. My daughter ate her dish (whatever the name is in Italian), and she was sick during the night. The music wasn't suitable. We paid 69 euros, which is a totally reasonable bill if we had been able to eat something good that evening. This wasn't the case, and we regret it as much as you do. Don't try to make excuses for bitter customers. We're not. Only your tables and chairs under the chalet are very comfortable and clean. Outside, the place was probably great a few years ago, but it's time to repair, clean, and especially update your photos/time. That evening, it wasn't good, that's all. Sometimes it's better to say... okay, you may be right, I'll find out why rather than write nonsense. Have a very nice day.

03/06/2025: Quality food. Excellent value for money

05/05/2025: We were guests of Luigi (the owner) one evening during the cycle tour of the parks. La Tavola dei briganti is a place where you can find many home-made products. They have animals, a vegetable garden, bees from which they produce honey and pollen. We ate assorted homemade appetizers, all spectacular, we definitely recommend the home-made ricotta with honey and pollen. The environment is welcoming and familiar and also offers a beautiful view of the town and valley. Highly recommended

06/04/2025: Excellent welcome. Evocative atmosphere accompanied by the presence of the fireplace, in which you can roast meat spits as in the past. Excellent cuisine.

20/08/2025: Small and quaint. The lagane and chickpeas and the fusilli with tomato sauce are highly recommended.

10/08/2025: Away from the chaos of the city, this place is fantastic with a breathtaking sea view… wonderful food and a peaceful atmosphere.

13/08/2025: Excellent restaurant with excellent fresh fish and friendly, helpful staff. 100% recommended. The only downside was the excessive heat of the evening.

11/08/2025: Excellent fish and good service

16/08/2025: I went there with my family for lunch, what can I say? The dishes were delicious and the owners were friendly and kind. I recommend it.

12/08/2025: We went for dinner with 12 people. We and the staff agreed on the courses so we could try the freshest dishes. We ate mussels, an appetizer, and two first courses each: everything was delicious and the portions were generous. After dinner, we had fun with the charming owner, who offered us his limoncello and mingled with us, perfectly fitting into the mood of the evening.

23/08/2025: As it is a shopping center, it was much too much to eat something on the way, which is not so obvious in Italy because there are few places on the highways

22/08/2025: A piece of Rende's history, forever imprinted in the minds of all Rende residents, excellent brands and a very large underground car park.

21/08/2025: This family-run restaurant is located across from the train station and a stone's throw from the seafront, run by a welcoming and friendly mother and daughter. The food is excellent, with generous portions and reasonable prices. The tagliatelle with clams and citron is a must-try.

20/08/2025: High-quality seafood restaurant, very fresh fish, delicious dishes, no problems or defects, a wonderful experience that I recommend to everyone.

20/08/2025: An evening with friends at this little restaurant. The mixed grills and cuts of meat are delicious, but the tender and tasty kid deserves an honorable mention. Don't expect a fancy restaurant, but a place to try without too much fuss.

19/08/2025: Excellent pizza among the best in the country

24/08/2025: Very nice place, high-quality food, generous portions, and very friendly staff. The quality of the fresh fish is excellent.

24/08/2025: We visited this restaurant-pizzeria the other evening: an overall mixed experience. The pizza is truly excellent: light, well-leavened, and very digestible dough, with fresh, quality ingredients that are noticeable from the first bite. Truly one of the best pizzas in the area. Unfortunately, the service doesn't live up to the cuisine. We arrived at 8:35 PM, but our order wasn't taken until 9:10 PM, and in the meantime, we watched waiters serve customers who arrived after us. Our pizzas were finally brought to us at 9:50 PM: a long and frustrating wait that partially ruined the enjoyment of the evening. I understand the restaurant is busy, but serving a table after an hour and 15 minutes of waiting isn't fair, especially since customers who arrived later had dined much earlier. A real shame: with better service, it would be a restaurant worthy of a full 5-star rating, but this way, despite the excellent pizza, the experience is severely compromised.

13/07/2025: Ottimo cibo e accoglienza super! Rapporto qualità prezzo: ne vale la pena! Noi abbiamo preso 2 menù “a modo mio”’consigliati dal sig. Salvatore, 1 bottiglia di acqu e una lattina di coca cola: 40€! Amari offerti 🔝

12/07/2025: Tutto ottimo, un pranzo eccezionale con tutti gli amici per un compleanno. Salvatore ti fa sentire a tuo agio. Da ritornare.

06/08/2025: Locale molto bello e con stile definito. Servizio eccellente!!! Piatti tipici della cucina calabrese. Ci siamo sentiti a casa. Salumi e carne incredibilmente buoni…

29/07/2025: Da tre anni veniamo in vacanza in Calabria e per diverse sere ceniamo da "Nonna Caterina". Ambiente familiare, accoglienza con il sorriso. Antipasto della casa (€ 12,00) abbondante e vario, si fatica a finirlo in due. Buoni I primi sui 10,00 € e i secondi sui 15,00 €. Consigliate anche le pizze.

18/03/2025: Great. Entering a specialized shop in Barf for our CLC is truly a beautiful find. Great choice friendly and professional staff See you soon

12/02/2025: I certainly reserve the right to update the review after I have physically tried the products, but I give 5 stars to the service, I ordered 10 kg of meat, the order arrived within 24 hours, perfectly packaged and perfectly frozen. Furthermore, the meat, although packaged in 1kg packs, is already conveniently divided into 250g portions and this for me is of incomparable convenience. Well done, good, good Update 02/12/25 good quality meat, my dog ​​really enjoys eating it. I'm really satisfied

25/07/2025: Excellent and varied pizzas! Close to Neapolitan tradition. WELL DONE!!

22/07/2025: Anno Zero has been a guarantee since my teenage years... Truly superb pizza!!! When we're at other places, despite the delicious pizzas, Anno Zero's pizza is always number one for me and my family! The other dishes offered are also good... And then there's the legendary Peppino, now an institution, his very kind wife, Davide, who I raised 🤣, and the beautiful and very sweet Ylenia, always kind and attentive between the tables! And then I can't leave out a praise for the young but very talented pizza chef!

11/03/2025: Excellent quality food, with most of the ingredients sourced from their own farm. Hearty and delicious meals, a wide selection, and you can't go wrong with anything. The service is impeccable, always friendly and smiling, fast and efficient. A perfect place to enjoy a family lunch or a relaxing/fun dinner with friends, even during the week. TOP HOUSE WINE. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND TRYING.
