I migliori ristoranti di cucina italiana in Vibo valentia

28/08/2025: If it were possible to give it 10 stars, I would. A property in the heart of Tropea, just steps from the seafront and offering every comfort. A gem. The staff is always helpful and friendly. I recommend it to anyone who wants to visit Tropea, enjoy the town, the crystal-clear waters, and stay in an oasis of peace. Recommended for both families and couples. Book now—you won't regret it!

19/08/2025: The restaurant is an excellent choice for those who love authentic flavors, especially Tropea onions, the star of a richly varied appetizer and two first courses, one of which can easily be veganized by omitting the pecorino cheese without sacrificing flavor. The staff is friendly and helpful, attentive to every need, and the owner was particularly thoughtful, bringing me freshly picked figs after noticing my interest in the ones next to the cake. The location is welcoming and well-kept, and the dishes are refined and flavorful. The experience was very positive and delicious, although the price was high, commensurate with the quality and attentiveness of the service.

26/01/2026: We visited Hops, a meat restaurant, and were immediately greeted warmly by both the owner and the waitress, both kind and helpful. They carefully explained all the dishes on the menu and, appreciably, the condition of the meat offered. We were clearly told that the type of meat available hadn't yet completed the normal aging process and should have been kept fresh longer. Even though we knew they weren't offering meat at its peak, it was still available on the menu. My husband and daughter found the meat to be decent, while I was personally a bit disappointed, especially considering the price we paid. The selection is certainly wide, with many types of meat to choose from, and that's a plus for the restaurant. However, if the owner is aware that they don't have meat at the right maturation or temperature, I think they shouldn't offer it anyway, especially considering the location of the restaurant. Overall, I'd recommend it, but personally, I don't think I'd return.

25/01/2026: Excellent quality meats at a reasonable price. Excellent service with attentive and friendly staff. The owner is incredibly kind and a wealth of knowledge about meats. Highly recommended!

05/01/2026: It is with great pleasure that I share my experience at this restaurant, which provided us with a truly delightful lunch. The day, spent in the company of my wife and a couple of friends, was made even more special by the enchanting scenery, creating a bright and relaxing atmosphere, ideal for slowly savoring every moment. The service is distinguished by a natural kindness and impeccable professionalism: attentive, meticulous, and elegant, yet never intrusive. Everything is enhanced by a pleasant touch of humor and charm, measured and intelligent, which contributes to a relaxed and authentic atmosphere. The cuisine is the true protagonist: delicate and balanced dishes, crafted around noble, top-quality ingredients. Each course is enhanced by excellent, refined, and harmonious plating, pleasing the eye even before the palate. Also worthy of special mention is the extensive and carefully curated wine cellar, packed with prestigious labels and interesting discoveries, designed to expertly and sensitively complement the dishes, offering pairings worthy of the gastronomic offerings. Overall, a wonderful culinary experience, where the view, service, cuisine, and wine cellar interact in perfect harmony. A lunch that leaves a lasting impression and one I can only recommend to anyone seeking quality, elegance, and a true passion for hospitality.

08/12/2025: Impeccable gastronomic experience

11/01/2026: We had lunch at the restaurant yesterday. What can I say, a fantastic experience! The food was excellent. We chose the tasting menu to be guided by the chef, and the result exceeded our expectations, starting with the first appetizer, the shrimp tartare, which was an explosion of flavors! The service was also excellent, with Domenico and Caterina taking care of us and making us feel at home at all times.

09/12/2025: This was my first time eating at this place and I loved it! I don't usually eat fish, but I really enjoyed how it was cooked, and the service was excellent throughout—very professional. The place is lovely and cozy, with a great atmosphere.

19/11/2025: In the alleys of Pizzo. Very quaint, with captivating and lively cuisine. There aren't many tables, so it's perfect for those who enjoy quiet conversation, enjoying their meal in peace and quiet, and focusing on the flavor and taste of the dishes. Very good!

16/11/2025: Reasonable prices for the quality and quick service. A place definitely worth a try. I'll definitely be back! Highly recommended for those who love good seafood and want to spend a pleasant evening in Pizzo. 🐟🍋🍷

06/01/2026: This charming location, surrounded by greenery, is nestled in the hills of Vibo Valentia, in the municipality of Maierato. Excellent value for money. Delicious Calabrian cuisine. Excellent products and ingredients used. Excellent service. The spa is well worth it.

05/12/2025: Beautiful resort on the hill, not far from the sea.

02/11/2025: Thank you for our stay! Although it was a last few days before complete season closure we had a wonderful experience! Food is great, rooms are perfect! Very easy parking and beautiful seaside! One small improvement points: pls try to offer memory foam and/or ergonomic pillow options. Unfortunately I got bad neck hurtings from the pillows🙈 All in all we had a wonderful time! Thank you!🥳😍

27/10/2025: Great resort! We stayed there as a family. We were kindly upgraded to a 4-bed room (off-season). The beach is great. The sea is turquoise/azure. We saw lots of fish. The food was good. The staff is very friendly. We were able to book a tennis court during the off-season without any waiting time. We will definitely visit again. Side note: Tropea is only a 15-minute drive away.

30/09/2025: I'm sharing my very positive experience! We were four of us at this restaurant on July 11, 2025. The welcome was typically touristy, but the restaurant actually offered impeccable service, good food, and excellent value. It's a shame about the portions, which were really small.

30/09/2025: No rating. Opening hours are incorrect.

04/01/2026: Really good food, super kind waitresses and the vibe of restaurant is amazing.

04/01/2026: Great place. Excellent service.

20/01/2026: Excellent food; clean and welcoming atmosphere. Truly exceptional... Congratulations!! 💯💯💯

18/01/2026: I'm sorry to give 1 star for the food but I was served a Chianina burger that had a bad smell. I pointed this out to them and they replaced it but the result didn't change. Furthermore, I was also made to pay for it. The owner also acknowledged that it did indeed have a bad smell.

29/12/2025: This is our 2nd visit for this new restaurant in town, the husband and wife team have an eye for detail, the presentation of the table, food, staff & of course the food is top draw. Don’t visit Pizzo without eating here!

10/12/2025: A truly pleasant experience! I ate wonderfully: carefully crafted dishes, authentic and surprising flavors, and impeccable presentation. The location is beautiful, refined, and welcoming. A special thanks to the owner, who was knowledgeable, welcoming, and friendly. I can't recommend it highly enough.

29/09/2025: Perfect for a quick lunch break in the center of Tropea. Good paninis, salads, and coffee, friendly and efficient service, and reasonable prices for the location.

27/09/2025: It's more of a snack stand and a garden. At first glance, nothing much. But.....the absolute best Arancini with nduja. The service was great, very pleasant and kind. We were very satisfied. Too bad they're closed on Saturdays. I recommend

12/01/2026: Great restaurant with very friendly staff, excellent wine list, the food is really good and they have gluten-free options and they take care of the customers!

19/10/2025: “Incipit” is almost a hidden gem, tucked away from the busy High Street and tourist-heavy areas. This spot comes highly recommended by locals — and for good reason. It has a gorgeous outdoor terrace with views over the piazza, but the real wow factor comes when you choose to dine indoors… in the cave! Yes, a beautifully lit, cosy cave with an incredible atmosphere that makes the whole experience feel special. The service was exceptional — friendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. The menu is fantastic, offering a perfect mix of local favourites and creative twists. We went all out and enjoyed the full experience: antipasto, primo, and secondo. The tuna tartare was outstanding, bursting with freshness and flavour. I had the Fileja al ’Nduja ragu, which was absolutely mind-blowing — and high on my Calabria culinary wish list. My partner chose the hazelnut risotto, which was equally exceptional. For mains, I had the pistachio-crusted seabass while my partner had the cod — both dishes beautifully presented and cooked to perfection. Highly recommended if you want an authentic, high-quality dining experience away from the tourist traps. Grazie mille per il fantastico servizio 🙏👌👏

18/01/2026: Lapprodo is a top-notch restaurant that captivates in every way. The elegant setting combines with impeccable service, attentive yet unobtrusive, making guests feel truly at the center of the experience. Dishes are meticulously crafted, using top-quality ingredients and refined pairings that enhance authentic and creative flavors. Each course reflects passion, technique, and a deep respect for the kitchen. A memorable gastronomic experience, highly recommended for those seeking quality, class, and uncompromising flavor.

16/01/2026: An elegant, refined restaurant, with excellent food, impeccably presented and served. The waiters were kind and courteous, and the atmosphere was comfortable and elegant. I appreciated the towels in the bathrooms (in addition to paper towels) and the sanitary pads in the women's restrooms.

27/09/2025: For us really authentic Italian place, kind stuff, good atmosphere, perfect octopus and meshed potatos. 🤍 Grazie mille

25/09/2025: We stayed in a residence not far from the fish market, and the manager recommended this place to us. Over our 8-day vacation, we ate there at least 4 or 5 evenings because we had such a great time. The fish was excellent, fresh, and well-cooked. From appetizers to main courses, there's not a dish I wouldn't recommend. The owners were truly friendly, down-to-earth, and helpful (and especially dog-friendly, which isn't a given). If you're in the Zambrone area (a 10-minute drive from Tropea), go eat there—it's worth it!
