I migliori ristoranti di cucina mediterranea in Calabria

21/10/2025: A restaurant with an owner who welcomes you as if it were his home makes you immediately feel in the right place to enjoy a wonderful appetizer proposed I will not add anything else to try

19/10/2025: Everything was perfect, from the service to the delicious food, the fish was really fresh and prepared in a super way 👌🔝

01/11/2025: Very cute restaurant! I went twice and sat on the terrace. I had a pizza and the other day the filej pasta with cipolla rossa and caponata tropeana. Everything was delicious and service was excellent, she even remembered my special dietary requirements from the time before.

01/11/2025: Very friendly service! We are vegan and were able to customize our meal accordingly. Very pleasant and helpful.

04/01/2026: A truly positive experience! I hadn't been to Zio Enzo for a few years, and the decision to return was truly a good one. I'm usually very selective and critical about seafood restaurants (over the years, I've refined my palate with my own catch, cooked by myself), and I'm often right. Zio Enzo pleasantly surprised me with the simplicity with which he prepared the dishes requested. Simplicity that presupposes excellent raw materials and mastery of one's craft as a chef. It's obvious that with seafood, the simple cuisine brought out the flavor of the sea. The service was excellent; we were assisted in the dining room by a true professional. The quality/price ratio was very good. Recommended!

14/10/2025: Close to home and... a prophet in his own land. Very kind and welcoming, this little family is offering their customers authentic food prepared with care and skill. We've become regulars and always enjoy the dishes. The music is appropriate and served at a pleasant volume. The prices are fair and in line with the product. Well done!

21/09/2025: The quality of the fish is excellent. The service is professional, and the location is beautiful. A good selection of dishes, 4/5 of each type, without those endlessly long tourist menus. Prices are in line with seaside seafood restaurants. Highly recommended... And then, in mid-September, with the beach half-empty and the sea in front... peace of mind.

11/09/2025: Amazing experience on the beach of Scalea. Great food supporting by pleasant service and surrounded by relaxing atmosphere. We are looking forward to returning soon...

20/10/2025: We came for lunch, and I must say the girl who served us was very kind and friendly, as well as giving great advice. You absolutely have to try the first course: spaghetti with clams and pesto! Truly delicious!! 😍 Or the authentic Roman carbonara! ❤️

11/10/2025: Exceptional pizza, light dough and excellent quality ingredients, fast and very friendly service.

11/12/2025: Ristorante Sabbia D’Oro offers a bright and welcoming atmosphere, perfect for enjoying fresh, well-prepared seafood dishes. The menu is varied, featuring balanced first courses, thoughtful second courses, and high-quality ingredients. Portions are adequate, the presentation is clean, and the service is always friendly. The relaxed atmosphere and pleasant location make the experience even more enjoyable. Prices are in line with the offerings, and the quality is consistent.

11/12/2025: Ristorante Sabbia D'Oro offers a bright atmosphere and fresh, carefully prepared seafood cuisine. Simple yet balanced dishes, friendly service, and a relaxed atmosphere. Fair prices and consistent quality make it a reliable choice.

16/01/2026: We ate there one evening. The pizza was good but a little soft. 🙂 The beef steak was delicious. The atmosphere was nice, but not particularly so. The service was excellent, and the girl was very polite and explained the menu. It was a little pricey, to be honest, a couple of euros more for each dish... All in all, a great experience. P.S. The waiter shouldn't take my plate away from me if I haven't finished yet.

14/01/2026: Fantastic...a spectacular appetizer

22/09/2025: We went on a Saturday evening. It's a true, traditional trattoria, simple, and has the atmosphere of old-fashioned eateries. The host is extremely kind and helpful. The mixed antipasto, fusilli all'aietana, and grilled veal steak with eggplant and mushrooms were all excellent and the portions generous. The prices were more than fair. It was a pleasure dining here.

13/09/2025: Excellent quality food, plentiful. Truly delicious dishes, the best in Aieta.

21/11/2025: Excellent quality. Very fresh fish. Anchovies "arriganate"... fabulous.

29/09/2025: A truly special evening. The place is a little gem: dim lighting, soft music, and an energy that makes you feel instantly at home. I asked them to lower the speaker above me slightly, and they were kind enough to do so immediately, with a smile. We ate divinely, and, something rare, we left feeling pampered and nourished not only in our stomachs but also in our souls. And all this at a price you won't find elsewhere, even for much less refined dinners. A place that stays in your heart, worth trying again and again. ✨

09/11/2025: Excellent seafood dishes, both the first and second courses (sea bass and amberjack) were prepared with care and professionalism. The table service was on par with the dishes served. Congratulations!

24/08/2025: A warm welcome, friendly and courteous staff, excellent food. A beach resort with meticulous attention to detail.

31/12/2025: Very nice fish oriented restaurant. The food was good, the portions were ok in size. Their "paccheri al bergamotto con pesto de pistachio" were the real highlight which deserves the additional praise. Service was friendly and warm. We liked a lot the decoration of the place. We recommend the reservation as the place looked like very popular among the locals.

31/12/2025: A wonderful experience, one you'll fondly remember. The staff is truly kind and welcoming, making you feel immediately at ease. I chose the mixed seafood appetizer (salmon, tuna, shrimp, scampi, oysters, and sea urchin): top-quality ingredients, with the shrimp simply sumptuous. It's a shame about the sea urchin, however; it was a bit too salty and therefore less enjoyable than the rest. The paccheri with bergamot really deserve a special mention, a refined and well-executed dish. The only real disappointment is the portions, which are unfortunately rather small and leave a slight disappointment. The food prices are overall fair and offer a good quality/price ratio; the only disappointment is the €5 limoncello, which is decidedly excessive for what's on offer. Overall, a high-quality restaurant, with a few small flaws that, if addressed, would make it truly impeccable.

18/11/2025: Located on one of Paola's main streets, it offers outdoor dining, and is very quiet in the evening. The owner is a very friendly and helpful person; he takes care of selecting the ingredients, which are truly top-notch. The sandwiches are truly delicious! 💯

28/08/2025: It's with regret that I can't leave more than one review, for the wine selection, the sandwiches, the fried foods, and the food. Everything is WONDERFUL. Not to mention the hospitality and kindness of the owner and his family, wonderful people with whom it's a real pleasure to chat. Worthy of note: spaghetti with clams, fried calamari and shrimp, and the breaded fetta sandwich—handmade, not the industrial junk they dish out at other places. I'm just sorry that my work stint in Paola will soon take me away from here, because it would have been my favorite place.

03/01/2026: It was my first time at this restaurant, and inspired by the many positive reviews, I wanted to try it for my birthday, so we went with my sweetheart. We had a great time, and the food was delicious, starting with the appetizer, which had several courses, all cooked very well and with care (personally, I would make the gnocchi with less oil because I couldn't finish them all). Otherwise, we had a great time, and the service was truly impeccable, and they even gave us excellent wine recommendations. I'm very satisfied.

12/12/2025: Unique place, relaxing atmosphere, excellent service and food.

15/10/2025: Everything was excellent. From the appetizer to the meat. We ate very well.

11/08/2025: Very nice surprise! Very poorly signposted, no sign but very very good Calabrian cuisine, very welcoming, nice room!

13/10/2025: What a wonderful stay with comfortable accommodations, fabulous staff and chef and lovely spot to enjoy incredible scenery!

16/09/2025: A beautiful B&B. But only for those who can climb stairs easily and have no problems. It's located in the center of town and only accessible on foot. Excellent breakfast, though the restaurant is closing in September. Fortunately, there are other restaurants nearby. Definitely recommended if you can walk well.
