I migliori ristoranti di cucina italiana in Vibo valentia

07/09/2025: Good service, just one waiter, though tattooed like a notepad, fairly quick and capable. The meat was well-cooked, and the side dishes were more than plentiful. In a three-star grill restaurant that serves so much good meat, you can't have a single, unknown beer you've never tasted, only a 33cl bottle. And for wine, only a 3/4 bottle. One star because at the end, I asked for amaro and he brought out a large, unlabeled bottle, claiming it was house amaro. It tasted a lot like leftover cocktails.

04/09/2025: We stayed at this hotel for just one night, passing through the Calabrian mountains. The room had been booked at least twenty days in advance, but I wasn't told that Monday is the restaurant's weekly rest day. The hotel, in fact, functions primarily as a banquet restaurant and, secondarily, as a hotel, mostly for ceremonies with guests traveling and therefore staying for one or more nights. We were therefore greeted by a waiter instructed by the manager to come to the hotel for our arrival. We arrived at the hotel in the early afternoon and were assigned a charming room, all furnished in wood, certainly in a style appropriate for a mid-mountain location like Spadola. However, there was no air conditioning, so it was warm (the sun was shining on it, as you can see in the photo), and it most likely hadn't even been ventilated the night before! Fortunately, the temperature dropped that evening, and the discomfort subsided. The rooms do not have mini-fridges, and the balcony connects to adjacent rooms. This means the shutters must be closed for obvious security reasons, unless someone you trust is staying nearby. The next morning's breakfast was a bit disappointing, as there were no pastries, no other sweets, no yogurt, no fruit, only packaged snacks or biscuits, along with, of course, milk, tea, and coffee. We didn't even have a chance to meet the manager on the day of departure, so we were instructed to pay the waiter who greeted us upon arrival. The hotel is pet-friendly, but I honestly didn't dare take my dog ​​out, as there were three dogs roaming the hotel grounds, and one of them was visibly bothered by my dog. A word of advice to the management...don't offer accommodations on the day the restaurant is closed, because assistance is essential! A warm welcome and customer service can help mitigate any potential shortcomings or even make an already pleasant stay even better. If this is your management policy, given that it was a stay booked well in advance, at least consider offering a more thoughtful breakfast! In all the years we've spent vacationing in Calabria, we've never seen packaged snacks for breakfast, not even in B&Bs, let alone in a hotel that's primarily a restaurant 😕🤔...

11/09/2025: All in all not bad and certainly cheap.

27/08/2025: The hotel proudly retains its original appearance, yet remains well-maintained. The room amenities are impeccable. Maria Luisa, her husband, and their daughter Ivana were extremely kind and helpful. The location is strategic for exploring the entire Costa Degli Dei, from Pizzo Calabro to Capo Vaticano. Bars and supermarkets are just steps away. The value for money is excellent. Highly recommended.

21/09/2025: I've had lunch twice at this restaurant with its enchanting view. I was on vacation with friends and would have returned several times given the quality of the food and the tranquility of the place, but we were mocked for tactical menu changes like, "Oh! We don't have this seafood appetizer (20 euros) today, but if you want, I'll bring you octopus and marinated anchovies." They didn't specify that they become two separate dishes, and you pay 20 euros for two tentacles and 20 euros for 8 anchovies. So your seafood appetizer becomes a starred appetizer for 40 euros. The receipt never arrived. We were wrong not to ask for anything at the time, but we were on a happy, carefree vacation and only later realized we'd been a bit ripped off.

18/09/2025: The location alone is worth it...not recommended...the price is too high for the quality of the food offered. Not recommended.

27/10/2025: Weak drinks, undrinkable. Tartufo pistachio ice cream scoop should have runny chocolate. The product was taken out of the fridge and had been lying around. We were given snacks and didn't touch them. They were lying around, not promised, and expensive.

09/10/2025: Sparkling water doesn't contain any sparkles. We mentioned that and the waiter was well aware of that but still, nothing happened
