I migliori ristoranti di cucina mediterranea in Calabria

22/01/2026: Our visit to Osteria San Francesco on June 8th, 2025, was a wonderful experience. Francesco welcomed us warmly and offered us seats on the terrace. I had the impression he was a little surprised that we wanted to eat there with 10 people. He immediately called his brother Massimo, who prepared the kitchen. Several other helpers also arrived to assist Massimo with the cooking. The Osteria is somewhat hidden away on a small, steeply rising road. The dining rooms aren't very large, but there's also a grotto, a room carved directly into the mountainside. Francesco and Massimo are very friendly and they made our evening truly enjoyable. The food, prepared by Massimo, was excellent. It's safe to say that the Osteria team knows how to cook. If we're ever in the area again, we will definitely return.

19/01/2026: A wonderful time was had! The food was memorable, authentic, and generous. The setting is simple and welcoming; I highly recommend it! Special mention for the mushroom pasta and truffle pasta 👌🏻 Thank you, See you soon! Original Thailandia 😂 🇹🇭

09/03/2026: Spectacular evening, no waiting, fantastic waiter, very friendly, very professional and very attentive, he served us great😍

23/01/2026: An honest trattoria in the Altomonte area. If they raised the quality of the macaroni, it could be a really great meeting place. The table service menu would be nice. It's a shame about the paper tablecloths.

24/12/2025: A welcoming and authentic place! Traditional Calabrian dishes and friendly staff! Special mention for the garden vegetables!

14/04/2026: I stayed at this farmhouse for several days. Surrounded by greenery, the rooms were bright, the staff were friendly, and the cleanliness was excellent. Breakfast was plentiful. I thank the owners for their helpfulness and friendliness. I will definitely return. I recommend it to anyone seeking relaxation and kindness.

10/03/2026: I went with my wife on March 8th, International Women's Day. The fileda with lamb sauce was the best I've had in a long time. The place was clean and tidy. I'll definitely be back. A tip: since it was International Women's Day, a few sprigs of mimosa on the tables would have earned us an extra star. Antonio

05/04/2026: Today, for the first time, I was invited to a baptism. Despite the full room, the service was impeccable with very polite and professional staff. The food was very good, plentiful, and of high quality. I'd say it was a more than positive experience.

03/04/2026: Everything is truly top notch. Giuseppe is a dragon 🐉

10/02/2026: I had lunch at Al Vecchio Mulino. The food was excellent, carefully prepared, and rich in flavor. But what struck me most was the infinite kindness of all the staff: attentive, smiling, and always available. The place was beautiful and welcoming. I will definitely return and highly recommend it.

04/01/2026: We celebrated my birthday here after visiting the wonderful Musaba open-air museum in Mammola. The restaurant was welcoming and clean. The lunch, featuring pasta with traditional stockfish and meat dishes presented on a griddle, was excellent. The wait staff was helpful and welcoming. Special thanks to Andrea and Ilenia.

03/04/2026: If you're looking for a restaurant and pizzeria where quality, tradition, and hospitality meet, Alle Colonne is a guarantee. From the moment you enter, you'll experience a warm, family atmosphere, with friendly, attentive, and always smiling staff. The pizza is simply spectacular: light, well-leavened dough, ultra-fresh ingredients, and perfectly cooked. You can taste the passion and care for the product in every bite. The cuisine is equally impressive: generous, flavorful dishes prepared with quality ingredients, in full respect of tradition. The quality-price ratio is also excellent, a rare thing these days. It's the ideal place for a dinner with friends, a family evening, or a special occasion. Highly recommended in every way.

12/02/2026: We had a divine dinner, with local dishes and a dessert to remember... The Babà was the icing on the cake to frame an evening to remember.

14/03/2026: Exceptional pizza, friendly and helpful staff, fair price

07/03/2026: For me, one of the best pizzerias in Cosenza...for years. A charming location, in the historic center and near the river park, with a well-kept and welcoming interior. Excellent, light pizza, but the appetizers and snacks like fritters, various meatballs, and potatoes, especially the 'mbacchiuse, are also excellent! A wide selection of excellent desserts! The service is always courteous, attentive, prompt, and fast. In terms of value, it's probably the number one pizzeria in the city of Cosenza. A must!

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.

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.

10/04/2026: Food, service, atmosphere...everything was perfect!

05/04/2026: When it comes to history, this place represents it all: a unique atmosphere, generous dishes and very kind staff, excellent value for money.

17/03/2026: The food here is divine; I was lucky enough to dine on the local catch, which was truly top-notch. Next time I come back for work, I'll have to try the pizza, which they say is interesting because of its unique dough.

03/03/2026: The food in the restaurant is excellent. The fish is especially delicious. Thank you very much.

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

20/03/2026: We chose this stay to be immersed in the Pollino National Park and easily explore the nearby hikes. The staff were incredibly welcoming, starting with our first phone call. Once we arrived, we found a lively restaurant with lovely people and traditional Calabrian music... dinner with entertainment included! The room was clean and super heated. The staff are available for any need, even after hours. These are the people and businesses we should cherish and develop! Thank you.

15/03/2026: Chosen for a break during a journey, it was a pleasant surprise: a nice, welcoming place with plenty of parking. Then, a first course as pictured, truly delicious gnocchi alla sorrentina, followed by scallops in white wine and a salad. I left the table satisfied. I'll stop again on my way back.

22/01/2026: For 4 years, it's been my go-to place whenever I'm in the area. Impeccable food, excellent value.
