I migliori ristoranti di cucina mediterranea in Calabria

02/05/2026: Very good and plentiful pizzas, welcoming staff

26/04/2026: No wait to sit outside. Friendly and helpful service. I thought the pizza was good, but really nothing super special.

17/04/2026: Beautiful place, top service but the food, plentiful and exceptional

15/04/2026: We had dinner at this trattoria on Saturday evening, my husband, I, and our two children, ages 9 and 12. The staff was fantastic: friendly, welcoming, kind, and extremely helpful. The atmosphere was very informal and easy-going, just like a trattoria. But the trattoria-like characteristics stop there, in the sense that the quality of the fish, the presentation of the dishes, and their deliciousness are those of a true restaurant! They offer dishes based on the catch of the day, a guarantee of the freshest fish! We had their antipasto: ENDLESS! Cold, hot, and even raw dishes. Everything was exceptional! We had two appetizers that we shared with the kids, but those were already practically full. So many different but original, tasty, and excellent quality courses! Then we had two spaghetti agli scogli, one spaghetti with crab (the crab is caught alive from the aquarium!!), and swordfish rolls! They looked truly excellent, and the beautiful appearance confirmed the taste. Everything was exceptional, you could taste the fish was incredibly fresh, it melted in your mouth!!! And the portions were truly generous!!! And the price was truly competitive: 2 complete appetizers, 3 first courses, 1 second course, wine, water, and 2 sorbets for €120!!!! For what we ate, both in terms of quality and quantity, I assure you, it was really cheap! Really, congratulations!!!!! I've already recommended it to all my friends!!!

07/10/2025: I went with my wife and son in September for dinner in the ancient cave. The seafood appetizer smelled bad and tasted nothing like seafood. The octopus was transparent and smelled bad—you couldn't tell it was octopus carpaccio; it was literally transparent, like tissue paper. The rest was anything but anything that reminded you of the sea. Everything was frozen and poorly treated. Parmigiana was the sore point!! It wasn't parmigiana, but a mixture of boiled eggs drowned in tomato sauce. I don't think they even know what eggplant parmigiana is; there were only boiled eggs. I wouldn't go back even if they paid me; it was a TERRIBLE experience that's hard to undo. They have no idea what Italian or Calabrian cuisine is. What a shame! These people were improvised and had never worked in a kitchen!

28/09/2025: Incredibly delicious traditional cuisine❤️

14/02/2026: We celebrated our wedding there, and everything went beautifully: we were truly happy with how it turned out. From start to finish, everything was perfect. Our guests were thrilled too: they ate wonderfully and complimented us on our choice of restaurant. There wasn't a single complaint; in fact, everyone loved everything! You were attentive, helpful, and fully accommodated our every request. We thank you again for the care, professionalism, and kindness with which you looked after us on such an important day for us. Highly recommended restaurant! 🔝

07/12/2025: Mr. Condoluci, I'm not used to responding to keyboard warriors, as you can see from my history. I'd simply like to explain to you that the decision to serve an aperitif/appetizer at the buffet isn't always tied to the restaurant, but to agreements made with the bride and groom. In any case, plates, cutlery, and bread are generally placed at the entrance to every buffet. If, during a lunch/dinner—where diners nowadays enjoy several dishes each—the station is left uncovered for a few minutes, you should know that the service is possible thanks to human staff, not robots. So, the attitude of a polite person like yourself would be to inform the Maître d'Hôtel or any waiter, who I can promptly assure you will resolve your issue. But honestly, criticizing a wedding service to the point of not recommending it seems excessive to me. Remember, these are jobs that are most often handled with extra, therefore non-regular, staff, which can easily lead to trivial distractions. In the next review, please advise us to pay a little more attention ⚠️ to these things, but not to so strongly discourage a restaurant that has been successfully serving many ceremonies for years. The good thing about Ristorante San Michele is that we were born restaurateurs, not made over time—this is what makes this place stand out! Anyway, thank you for the encouragement to improve, I can tell you that whenever you want to come to Ristorante San Michele, please come and stay with me, so you can change your mind about your review, especially considering that these days, unfortunately, almost every business also depends on the internet. Best regards, Maître Samuele Pasqualino

03/04/2026: Simple but truly delicious food. All the seafood is very fresh and prepared in a way that highlights its quality. The pizzas are excellent. I hadn't been for a while, and while the ambiance has definitely improved, the prices remain very reasonable.

05/10/2025: A renowned beach club in Villapiana. Even though it's the end of the season (only one row of umbrellas left and many of the facilities have been removed), I noticed the owners' friendly attitude and great courtesy. The beach club is a bit dated but welcoming. Everything about the beach and sea is fine. Worth a visit.

01/10/2025: Friendly owners, always cheerful and helpful. When we're in Calabria, we love spending our beach days here in late summer 👍🏼
