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 👌🔝

19/11/2025: Very disappointing: I went to this restaurant, which is so widely promoted on social media as excellent, but the reality is very different from what they want people to believe. Aside from the nice and welcoming location and the kind staff, the rest is very poor. Dishes with little flavor and unbalanced seasoning/gross errors of concept (such as the tuna tartare, therefore a crudité, placed under the hot pasta, thus losing all its peculiarities, or the baked potatoes that tasted only of garlic, inedible, never seen anything like it), etc. etc. Not to mention the prices, such as the second course (I attach a photo) swordfish, 4 small pieces with a little orange and fennel, 25 euros 😳 when in the best restaurants it doesn't cost more than 18/19 euros, or the octopus, 3 micro pieces over 26 euros. That said, 4 first courses, 3 second courses, a side dish, and only 2 bottles of water came to €205. For €250, I've eaten in much better restaurants, especially those with more courses. I'm sure they'll tell me I'm wrong and that they've had a lot of positive reviews. I wonder how that's possible, given the low quality of the food.

03/11/2025: Good quality food, service too, prices not exactly cheap but not very expensive either, shame about the decor which definitely needs modernizing, but we were told that there is already a renovation project and it is definitely worth it.

15/10/2025: An excellent culinary experience, enhanced by the incredibly friendly and welcoming staff, especially the owner, Palmino, who made us feel right at home, even though it was our first time here for lunch. A splendid seaside spot that I recommend to anyone seeking a blend of quality and beauty. Thank you! And see you soon! Your cuisine is absolutely innovative and superb!

03/10/2025: It's October, rough seas. We found this seaside restaurant welcoming and excellent food. I recommend the lobster and fried fish.

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.

19/08/2025: What a great find!! Nothing to complain about, the fish was really good. Large portions and lots of fish. It's a shame about the location and the wait for a table.

15/10/2025: A fantastic place. A smiling team. Professionalism in every detail. Even when it's fully booked, you can have your order delivered to your table in a matter of seconds. Delicious pizzas, sandwiches, panini, and bruschetta. Delicious drinks. I recommend ordering the typical Italian Negroni. A real hit. Lots of local customers. The prices are amazing!

11/10/2025: Good afternoon. After many years, the Derby dello Strait returns: Come on Messina, but welcome our cousins, children of my origins and of that surname (with the FIUMARA di MURO license plate) of which I will always be proud!! I love SCILLA, I was supposed to settle there, but there are those who didn't want it! I miss you, give my regards to the entire staff🥰

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.

14/10/2025: I visited this restaurant, the location is great, the staff is helpful and friendly. The food is a bit salty for me, I didn't get the taste I expect in a restaurant, and the price is a bit too high for the taste.

12/10/2025: Very poor dishes; paying 28 euros for 40 grams of spaghetti with lobster is really a lot!! The appetizer was very simple and disappointing.

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

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...

30/08/2025: Lido la costa degli dei is a beach where people go to have fun with their children and relax enjoying their holidays. Go there but I recommend you bring sea shoes with you, the sea is beautiful.

28/08/2025: Great beach ⛱️⛱️⛱️⛱️⛱️ plenty of refreshments and beautiful scenery!

19/10/2025: Tasty food, large portions, Tasty food, large portions, friendly service, good local wine. I recommend it.

12/10/2025: Highly recommended. Excellent cuisine. I recommend the risotto. Good value for money.

30/10/2025: Excellent meat and good service. It's attached to the butcher shop, so it's a bit small with limited space. Reservations are recommended as it's always busy.

01/10/2025: We visited this grill restaurant and had a truly excellent experience in every way. The staff is friendly and courteous, always available without ever being intrusive. The meat is simply delicious, tender, and plentiful: we ordered an appetizer, a tagliata with arugula and parmesan, and a mixed grill, all cooked to perfection. We paired our meal with a half-liter of wine, a Coke, and water: for two, we spent €48, a more than fair price for the quality and quantity of the dishes. The place is small, and the atmosphere may not be the best, but the quality of the food and the overall attentiveness of the service more than make up for it. Highly recommended for those who love good meat!

12/10/2025: Excellent traditional cuisine, including tasty seafood dishes. Reasonable prices for the quality of service and preparation.

20/09/2025: There are no words... beautiful place... very kind staff... generous first courses worthy of applause... finally a place where courtesy and quality are unmatched

22/08/2025: On our way back from Paola, we decided to try this restaurant in the ancient village of Belmonte. The staff were very friendly and welcoming. We took the chef up on a suggestion, and he prepared an excellent pacchero with amberjack. The price was perhaps a little steep...but you pay for quality food.

18/08/2025: I dined at Taverna Intru u Vicu with a group of friends. Let me start by saying that the location is stunning: both the terrace and the alleyway will surely provide guests with an unforgettable experience. The service was kind and friendly, without being intrusive, and the owner and waiter made us feel at home. The house wine, served during dinner, was also excellent. As for the menu, the owner's innovation was much appreciated. No dish was banal, and the flavors were well-balanced. The tuna on tomato steak and the pickled tuna (€16-18) are definitely worth trying as appetizers. I personally ordered the mixed fried fish (€22), which was good, fresh, and crispy, but perhaps a bit small for a main course. In conclusion, absolutely recommended for those looking for an unconventional dinner in an excellent location. For eight of us, with four appetizers, eight courses, wine, drinks, and two shared desserts, we spent about €50 each.

30/09/2025: Excellent pizza, excellent wine selection, welcoming atmosphere, kind and professional owners

21/09/2025: We've been to Terravecchia many times, both with friends and family, and it's never disappointed. The restaurant is small but cozy, with excellent food and fast, friendly service.
