I migliori ristoranti di cucina mediterranea in Calabria

15/08/2025: We went for lunch and the experience was decidedly positive. I wasn't in perfect physical condition, so the owner, with great kindness, prepared me a simple white rice dish. At the end of the meal, in a truly appreciated gesture, he even excluded it from the bill. The welcome was warm and the service very professional. A high-end restaurant, where the ingredients, especially the fish, are of the highest quality, among the best found in the Soverato area. The delicacy and care in preparing the dishes create a truly pleasant experience and reflect the chef's culinary philosophy. A place where you feel welcomed and respected. Definitely recommended!

19/04/2025: I honestly don't understand the negative reviews attributed to the bill... fresh fish has its price and for those who have the ability to judge without malice, it is clear that the quality of the raw materials here is of an excellent level. Discreet but punctual service, perhaps the wine list could be expanded with some international references, but it is a small thing

22/08/2025: The staff is excellent and they treat you like family!! This enchanting place just has to be seen, it can't be described....😍😍

05/07/2025: Everything was perfect down to the smallest detail except for the background music which was by Jovanotti... obviously they couldn't have known that but it reminds me of a bad moment in my life, for the rest nothing to say

08/10/2025: if you eat very well, the pinza is wonderful, fast and welcoming service, very professional staff

23/09/2025: Warm and family atmosphere, excellent attention and cleanliness.

20/09/2025: Yesterday my partner and I had dinner at Scacco matto. Excellent, high-quality food, beautifully presented: seafood appetizer, excellent first and second courses, especially the stroncatura. The quality/price ratio was fair, considering the restaurant is in the center of Tropea. Excellent service, compliments to the waiter, who demonstrated professionalism and friendliness.

20/09/2025: I recently visited Scacco Matto Restaurant in Tropea, and I must say it was a truly memorable experience. The welcome is warm, the staff is kind and attentive, always ready to carefully recommend the best dishes. The atmosphere is pleasant, with attention to detail and yet informal, making even those passing by feel at home. Speaking of the food: the freshest ingredients, especially fish, are expertly prepared. The swordfish rolls with PGI Tropea onions, the Tropeana-style tuna... every bite tastes of the real sea and local tradition. The first courses are well-balanced, beautifully presented, with clear flavors and no unnecessary pretensions, just how I like them. The quality-price ratio is more than fair for the area, considering the care they put into each course. And then the finale: the truffle ice cream (made in Spilinga by Dominique) was the icing on the cake. Creamy, intense, with just the right balance of sweetness and truffle flavor, original and never cloying. If you go to Scacco Matto, you can't miss it—it's one of the most successful desserts I've tasted in Calabria. In short: if you're looking for authenticity, flavor, and an experience that combines local flavors and passion, Scacco Matto is a must-try.

03/08/2025: Simply wonderful, elegant, and welcoming. The mixed fried fish and pizza were delicious. Impeccable service; the waiters and waitresses were very kind, courteous, and fast. Perfect value for money! I recommend this place to everyone! ❤️

09/06/2025: The cold cuts appetizer was really really great. The service was always impeccable. I liked the pizza a little less because I felt it wasn't very tasty but it was certainly due to the excessive saltiness of the cold cuts. Unique in some respects in the area.

14/08/2025: Wine shop with interesting niche products

09/08/2025: I'm giving it 5 stars because of the very friendly owner and everything I've tried in two consecutive nights going for dinner. I'd say it's the best place for good, quality food within a mile radius. It's worth getting in the car and trying it out.

11/08/2025: I recommend it because it is a place where the cuisine is sublime, the hospitality is exceptional and the atmosphere is that of the Calabrian tradition... Excellent!

11/08/2025: Everything was delicious, even the little museum. A beautiful place.

07/10/2025: A very good restaurant with very good fresh products! The wine is very good, the service is quality and the setting is really pretty. I recommend it and I will come back.

24/09/2025: We ordered an Aperol Spritz and they brought us another brand that looked more like Campari, since my wife doesn't drink it. They mixed it with a very good wine, it must be said, but it wasn't. I told them twice that it wasn't Aperol. The French fry mix was a 7/10. They never brought us the ketchup/mayo we asked for with the fries. The truth is, we were happy and left with a bitter taste in our mouths... we would have eaten a pizza anywhere with water and not spent almost 70 euros on a terrible experience...

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.

12/10/2025: We went there twice during our vacation. Great pasta, pizza, and fried seafood at a great price. This is exactly the kind of food you want. Highly recommended.

10/10/2025: Delicious pizza with the freshest ingredients! Very friendly staff. Highly recommended! Congratulations!

18/09/2025: As one diner suggested, everything was good but not "wow!"...a separate vote for the macaroni with goat sauce, truly excellent!!!...the portions could be a little more generous...

13/09/2025: A magical location with a beautiful view. The owners are very attentive and attentive to their guests' needs. Delicious pizzas with a light, easily digestible dough, and what can I say about the goat with potatoes... simply AMAZING! See you soon.

07/08/2025: Luna Convento è la location ideale per festeggiare ogni evento insieme a familiari e amici. Il personale è professionale, cordiale e attento ad ogni richiesta. I piatti eccellenti e curati nei minimi dettagli, caratterizzati da un'atmosfera raffinata e una vista mare mozzafiato.

07/08/2025: Un luogo sul mare dove il buon cibo e la locazione coadiuvato da un ottimo servizio sempre discreto ma presente hanno reso un anniversario una bella serata. I piatti (tra primi e secondi) confermano la qualità e la passione che i proprietari mettono nell attività. Complimenti torneremo alla prossima ricorrenza. Lo consiglio per staccare la presa dai soliti locali e ritmi quotidiani. Christian S.

03/05/2025: Una vera scoperta! Alla Buca del Re si mangia benissimo: piatti gustosi, porzioni generose e ingredienti di qualità. Il titolare è simpaticissimo, ci ha fatto sentire come a casa fin dal primo momento. Siamo andati con un gruppo di amici e siamo rimasti tutti super soddisfatti. Torneremo sicuramente!

03/05/2025: Ho mangiato benissimo tutto fresco e cibo locale il ragazzo che serve troppo simpatico Ci ritornerò di sicuro e lo consiglio a chi vuole mangiare bene e tradizionale.

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!

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.

25/08/2025: Palazzo Candida was an excellent choice for our stay in Gerace. It's a very centrally located property, beautifully maintained, spotlessly clean, and offers attentive service and assistance both inside and outside. The room we were assigned has a wonderful outdoor terrace overlooking the rooftops and some of Gerace's 100 churches. Dinner was excellent; we particularly enjoyed the pizza; excellent dough and top-notch ingredients. Gerace was a fantastic discovery. The parking issue to reach the property was easily overcome with a permit for the Limited Traffic Zone (ZTL) granted to guests of the property itself.
