I migliori ristoranti di cucina italiana in Crotone

14/10/2025: Since even the local police get their food here, we knew we couldn't go wrong. SUPER pizza, we'd love to come back. See you there!

19/08/2025: Excellent food, very fresh fish, and very good, carefully prepared cuisine. The staff is welcoming and very kind.

26/10/2025: This restaurant is a bit unremarkable, both in terms of location and menu. It offers seafood dishes with a €29 fixed-price menu featuring a choice of three from nine options. The dishes are well-prepared, but there's no hint of traditional ingredients, and the menu is a bit out of place.

17/09/2025: A restaurant that surprises you in every way: excellent and authentic food, generous portions, and a delightful staff who immediately puts you at ease. And the prices? Incredibly low for the quality they offer. A rarity not to be missed!

13/10/2025: Delicious food but the service was excellent. Very nice and helpful owners, when we asked to order a taxi, they didn't even want to hear about it, they took us to Ciro Marina for the price of dinner and wine. Thank you again.

16/09/2025: I've been coming to L'Aquila D'Oro for years, and every time it feels like coming home. The cuisine is authentically homemade and exudes all the warmth and passion of the family that runs it. In the kitchen, mom Elisabetta and Giuseppe prepare wonderful dishes, bursting with flavor and tradition. In the dining room, dad Salvatore and Giovanni always welcome you with a smile and a rare warmth: the hospitality here is truly special. I recommend everyone try the tripe, one of the restaurant's most incredible specialties: flavorful, tender, and cooked to perfection. L'Aquila D'Oro isn't just for good food, but for an experience of family, hospitality, and authentic cuisine. A place I will always hold in my heart.

03/10/2025: The owner is very nice and looks like me! Kind and polite.

22/07/2025: The owner is a truly rude person. I won't go into what happened here, but he was truly awful. I feel sorry for his staff, who are kind and helpful. The one-star rating is mainly due to the service. The calzones were inedible. The arancini, so much praised by many, tasted strange, but perhaps that was due to the excessive heat at the time. You've lost a lot of loyal customers. So next time, be more polite and helpful.

03/09/2025: I was at this restaurant on August 27th. The entrance was sad, but the outside area was beautiful. The food (we only ordered fish) was really good and fresh. We waited 20 minutes to order, with one waiter for the entire outside area. It's absurd! After the waiter arrived, tragedy struck: they didn't have any wine. It's okay, they'd be closing for the season soon, but you have to have wine in a restaurant; it's absurd that they don't have one. The waiter who took our order couldn't speak, he was practically a troglodyte, just like the other waiters, who were absurdly incompetent. He brought us the appetizer, and I asked what "merca caldo/ freddo" was, and the answer was "I DON'T KNOW!" You bring a dish and you don't even know what you're holding, but everything's fine. "Improvised waiters," that's the answer. We went to pay the bill, €350.00, which we had to split since we were two couples with multiple children (there were nine of us in total). The cashier's response was, "YOU DO IT, I DON'T DO IT," incredibly rude. In conclusion, you have a very nice restaurant, practically on the beach. Try to change the way you respond to customers, serve them more correctly and competently, otherwise CLOSE YOUR BUSINESS.

31/08/2025: A unique atmosphere, classy cuisine to the sound of the waves. I tasted the freshest, most exquisitely prepared fish. The menu has been revamped. Top choices.

20/08/2025: I had dinner at this pizzeria with my partner. We ordered two fish starters, a fried calamari, shrimp, and anchovy dish, a French fry, wine, water, and liqueur—all very good. We'll be back to try the pizza, which we've heard is one of the best in the area.

18/08/2025: Truly brutal place, the staff should be changed jobs, rude, ill-mannered, ignorant, and the owner doesn't know how to manage. They made us wait 3 hours for food, and my dish never arrived, which I refused to eat given it was midnight! The bill was out of line, children were crying because they were hungry. The food was so bad, we spent so much, and after a 3-hour wait, I wouldn't set foot in there again.

16/11/2025: Delicious and authentic Italian food. The tagliatelle with porcini were incredible! Antipasti plate also really good - we truly enjoyed everything. Signora Ewa is extremely sweet, kind and a fantastic chef. Thank you for such a wonderful meal 💜

02/11/2025: So much kindness and courtesy that is combined with excellent food and that as a restaurateur I highly recommend review signed by the Calabrese Pizza Chef Pagliaro Francesco owner of the Trattoria Pizzeria da Pagliaro & Bar Sole ☀️

19/10/2025: Just one note for the chef: "be careful with the salt in the first courses."

28/09/2025: They turned off the television while Napoli was attacking

24/08/2025: Excellent rotisserie and fry shop parallel to the waterfront. Excellent pizza and fried food.

18/10/2025: We were on vacation in Capo Rizzuto off-season, early October, a desert. Not knowing where to have dinner, we looked around, but everything was closed. We found this restaurant, and we had a good, large pizza, just the way I like it. The only downside was the waiter, who was enthralled by the game, didn't come to us. The place is large and very nice.

04/10/2025: This place is okay for pizza. We didn't enjoy the antipasti and other main courses as much. The service could be friendlier. The ambiance is very spartan.

01/11/2025: A place where the locals go. Then you know it's good. We've been coming here for years. Simple dishes but very tasty.

02/09/2025: Truly excellent, both the owner and the young man who works there are friendly and quite helpful. The pizza is truly excellent, both stuffed and Margherita. I recommend the 4 Formaggi, which is really good. The free cover charge is also nice and convenient, so you really get what you pay for. Recommended for both families and solo travelers. That said, I'll be back as soon as I can.

18/08/2025: I stayed at the Hotel Lo Scoiattolo long enough to recommend it to anyone looking for a pleasant, relaxing stay. The staff deserves five stars for their kindness and hospitality...especially Sandra, who manages the spa, who guided us through the entire experience with kindness and knowledge. Kudos also to the staff in the dining room and the receptionist. Dinner and breakfast were plentiful and high-quality. My only suggestion for the spa experience: given the number of people who can use it, it would be advisable to turn on all the hot tubs to avoid long waits, and to raise the temperature of the pool that is not being used by everyone because it is too low. Recommended.

05/10/2025: The pizzas by the slice are good, as are the arancini and potato croquettes. The panzerotto, called a calzone, is special, similar to the fried one in Brindisi but sweeter. Overall, there's a good selection, it's a shame you can't find meatballs, which would be a great addition.

29/07/2025: The place needs to be renovated, at the moment it makes a bad impression

17/10/2025: It's an incredible place, with very friendly people and the best food in Crotone! If you want to eat authentic Italian food, just like at home, then you absolutely must come here. But be prepared: the atmosphere is homey, warm, and friendly, unlike a restaurant.

13/10/2025: Guys, I've been to a lot of restaurants, diners, pizzerias, takeaways... but these are truly competitive. They'll give even the hungriest of you a run for your money. They even cook on the spot. You leave here feeling full. 😂 Well done, kind, friendly, and wonderful people.

01/09/2025: It's a shame to have to confirm, in one place, both triumph and fall, good and evil. On the one hand, I can only praise what still lingers on the palate: the softness of the filled leavened pastry, enveloped in a delicate yet flavorful custard, vanished in a flash, a victim of my unstoppable greed. Nor can I remain silent about the almond pastry, which, though I'd never loved it, in this case won me over to the point of igniting a secret and unexpected love. But on the other hand, alas, not the taste but the tone. The attitude of the person manning the counter seemed to tell us that our very existence was a nuisance: few smiles, little cordiality, and that subtle aura of impatience that ill-suits those who live on diners and vacationers. Let me be clear: I'm not asking you to sacrifice quality on the altar of service: the art of baking is too precious. But at least the humble gesture of a smile, a kind word, the knowledge that here aren't just customers, but souls seeking refreshment and memories of the sea. And so, while the custard still dances in my memories, the bitter thought remains that here, sugar abounds in every dessert, but it's not enough to sweeten the soul of those behind the counter.

25/08/2025: They didn't let us in because we were in our swimsuits (the shop is 100 meters from the beach) and the lady at the entrance was particularly rude
