I migliori ristoranti di cucina mediterranea in Calabria

07/08/2026: Top restaurant, delicious food and friendly staff!

06/08/2026: The food was very good, perhaps a little limited in quantity, but the quality was excellent. The waiters were very kind and gave us the option of choosing where to sit. The location was comfortable, airy, and quiet.

03/07/2026: An evening you'll never forget. The sunset view from San Domenico is simply breathtaking—one of those views that makes you pause for a moment before ordering, because you realize you're looking at something rare. That alone would be worth the visit. But the cuisine is no exception: the gnocchi with gurnard, snapper, strawberries, and chili pepper are an extraordinary dish—creativity, technique, and Calabrian terroir blend impeccably. Sweet, seafood, spicy. A balance few manage to achieve. The service is top-notch, attentive, and never intrusive. Special mention to Maria Concetta, whose professionalism and warmth made the evening even more enjoyable—the kind of welcome that makes you feel like a guest, not a customer. San Domenico plays in Serie A. One of the best restaurants on the Calabrian coast, without a doubt.

27/06/2026: San Domenico is in a league of its own. The cuisine is fantastic, the service more than perfect. The location is a dream.

11/08/2026: I dined at this restaurant and the experience was simply perfect from start to finish. The fresh fish was truly delicious, expertly cooked and showcasing the flavors of the sea. Gluten-Free: What can I say about the gluten-free offering? Such care and attention is rare. You can safely order gluten-free, with a wide selection from appetizers to first and second courses, without sacrificing taste or quality. Special praise goes to the entire staff, who are disarmingly kind and attentive to every need and detail. You feel pampered and 100% safe. Excellent value for money. It's hard to find such a high level of freshness, food safety, and service at such fair prices anywhere else. A restaurant absolutely recommended to everyone, and a must-visit for anyone seeking excellent seafood with truly superb gluten-free options.

11/08/2026: I had lunch at Prima o Poi with my girlfriend and we left feeling incredibly satisfied. The raw fish was top-notch, the first course truly delicious, and the second course beautifully done. What really makes the difference, however, is the service: the wait staff was professional, kind, and fast. And with such a good value for money, you couldn't ask for anything better. Highly recommended!

14/06/2026: Lunch and dinner, that says it all 😋

13/06/2026: Super friendly staff, excellent food, romantic location. We always come back with great pleasure 🥰

22/05/2026: Cozy place, excellent pizza, and super service once again. Highly recommended!

11/06/2026: A decidedly positive experience. The food was excellent, from the starters to the dessert, and there was a wide selection of wines.

26/05/2026: Very good food, very friendly staff, I recommend it

19/06/2026: A well-deserved 5 stars for the quality, the good food, the service, and the atmosphere... I felt at home. We'll definitely be back ❤️🫶

18/06/2026: Thank you for your wonderful hospitality. Antonio (and family) from Turin

24/07/2026: Excellent food and service! Recommended!

29/06/2026: Exceptional Culinary Artistry and Hospitality From the flawless service to the refined ambiance, dining at Ristorante Lapprodo is a thoroughly impressive experience. The cuisine easily reaches the level of top-tier fine dining. Each dish is spectacularly presented, balancing creative elegance with beautifully executed flavor profiles. What truly elevates the evening, however, is the outstanding hospitality of our host, Francesco. His deep knowledge of the menu adds a wonderful dimension to the meal; he seamlessly shares fascinating insights into the curated wine selections, the artisanal oils, and the daily catch. Hearing him explain how their seafood is sourced fresh directly daily truly contextualizes the dining experience—and that pristine freshness is unmistakably mirrored in the vibrant, clean flavors of every dish. For an elegant and meticulously curated culinary journey, this establishment comes highly recommended.

10/06/2026: Very kind and friendly staff, delicious pizzas

08/06/2026: The pizzas, one Norwegian and one Italian, were delicious: soft, thin crust, and a delicious topping. For dessert, we chose a babbà covered in lemon cream and red berries, and it was truly delicious!

25/07/2026: During our stay in Tropea, we dined at Scacco Matto, and the experience was truly excellent. The restaurant is very well-maintained and welcoming, with a pleasant atmosphere. The staff was friendly, professional, and always available, making us feel welcome throughout the evening. We started with a delicious mussel soup, rich and flavorful, accompanied by croutons. For our first courses, we chose calamarata and rigatoni with fresh tuna, Tropea onions, and cherry tomatoes: both generous, well-prepared, and made with quality ingredients. Also not to be missed is the tuna alla Tropeana, tender and rich in flavor. Generous portions, carefully prepared dishes, and authentic flavors of Calabrian seafood cuisine. A restaurant that convinced us in every way and that I would definitely recommend to anyone looking to eat well in Tropea. Congratulations to the entire staff!

25/07/2026: Everything was good, the staff were friendly and welcoming. The Parmigiana was exceptional!

03/05/2026: We went there for lunch...everything was excellent

01/04/2026: Excellent quality lunch, extremely friendly and efficient service.

01/08/2026: Friendly and helpful staff. The beach is spotless, with the right amount of space between the umbrellas, and the price is fair. Highly recommended!!!

27/07/2026: The cost of a front-row umbrella in July is €20, a full €4 more than other beaches. It's completely unjustified, given the lack of proper catering, a well-stocked bar, or a covered terrace with real shade. There's nothing here except the inflatables for children that you open in the evening on the seafront. MAYBE BECAUSE THERE'S BUSINESS THERE AT €6 PER HALF AN HOUR? However, I see some touchiness among the owners. Does NEGATIVE publicity hurt?!

17/07/2026: After 10 days travel across Italy. This is the best restaurant based on price and quality. Also has a beautiful internal area. Highly recommended. International Class

16/07/2026: After a year, I'm forced to update my review because the food isn't as good as it was a year ago! The rice isn't creamy, the baby octopus is practically in a broth, the pasta is completely disjointed, and the octopus is rubbery. It's a shame because we had a really great time last year.

16/07/2026: We ate here two years ago, and back then everything was excellent. At the time, this was undoubtedly a 5-star experience. Unfortunately, something seems to have changed in the meantime. In almost all the seasoned dishes, far too much salt was used, which completely overpowered the flavors. The biggest disappointment, however, was the swordfish with three tiny red prawns. For €25, we received a very small portion, whereas in the city center you often get double that for a significantly lower price. When we brought this up, we were told that ingredients have become more expensive these days. We understand that, of course, but the price-quality ratio simply didn't feel right to us. More expensive ingredients can explain a lot, but not such modest portions. It is a real shame, because two years ago this was a restaurant we would recommend without hesitation. Perhaps something has changed in the kitchen or the concept; I don't know. What I do know is that this was, unfortunately, the worst dining experience of our trip to Tropea. Very disappointing, especially since we had such positive memories of our previous visit.

29/06/2026: Beautiful place, great food and service!

09/06/2026: A very decent restaurant with delicious food and a pleasant atmosphere. I would say it's one of the best restaurants in Calabria.

09/06/2026: The reviews are justified. If you're in Pizzo, this is the first restaurant you should go to.
