I migliori ristoranti di cucina mediterranea in Calabria

02/05/2026: Very nice atmosphere between music and sea

19/04/2026: I ate the best Taranto-style mussels in the world. Their white wine is top notch.

16/05/2026: We ate really good food, the kitchen is run by elderly people who have a culture of food and quality products that are prepared almost by themselves. In short, we ate well, thanks for the advice, a hug.

10/05/2026: An unfortunate evening choosing this place that night. The service was pretty bad. It was difficult to get a waiters attention and when we did it was just a very unmotivated attitude. For example, we ordered a bottle of wine where the waiter first didn't seem to know their own wine menu and then eventually just plopped a bottle on the table. We had to check ourselves if it was still good and then pour for everyone, plus ask extra for a cooler for the bottle. And if you think they were busy that night, quite the opposite, as they were maybe one third occupied. The food also wasn't great, the starters were average at best, missing a lemon slice. I ordered the baked fish as my main. Potatoes over and undercooked at the same time somehow, the fish itself needed salt, but by the time a waiter reacted I was already done as the portion was pretty small. I also found bones, so don't trust them cleaning it for you table side. The only good thing I can say is that everything was fresh and my partner seemed to like the grilled mixed plate. They did comp us a few things at the end, but this was most likely because I was there with locals. Don't expect any such courtesy as a tourist.

18/06/2026: A regular stop whenever I'm in the area for work. Excellent food, a relaxing atmosphere, and friendly, professional staff.

25/05/2026: We come here rarely but are always satisfied. The staff is kind and helpful, the food is plentiful and good, and the prices are reasonable, and we can say this because we're in the business. Highly recommended.

06/08/2026: Excellent restaurant. I came to eat this evening and it was excellent. The servers are very friendly and the food arrives in record time! It was great.

04/07/2026: Truly an excellent place to eat typical Calabrian food. The prices are a bit high, but the quality of the food makes up for it! The portions are generous, and I definitely recommend it.

14/08/2026: As a child, I attended weddings, baptisms, and communions... I was delighted to find a renovated, youthful venue, bright both day and night. They have a gluten-free option, but they don't list ingredients for those with allergies. The fries are good, the pizza dough is good, and the ingredients are average. The staff is kind and courteous.

10/08/2026: Best beach/restaurant, fantastic experience. We had dinner here tonight and were impressed. Excellent food with fresh ingredients, friendly and attentive staff. Relaxing atmosphere and fair prices. We'll definitely be back!

13/05/2026: Stunning location, with a breathtaking view of Scilla at dusk. Friendly and fast service. Excellent food, very fresh fish, I especially enjoyed the swordfish. Good wine. Reasonable price.

08/05/2026: The place is wonderful, nothing to say, the thing that disappointed me most was what they brought: for 2 of us, we asked for 2 fish appetizers and a first course, paccheri with swordfish, as appetizers they brought us practically nothing, it was a taste of 6 courses, of all of them, there was nothing raw... Of course the quality was there, but we were left starving and we spent €65 for nothing... In fact, afterward we went to eat a sandwich... Total disappointment

08/08/2026: One of the worst service experiences I've ever had. It took 40 minutes to order our drinks. We had to call the waiter for everything; he didn't come to our table even once. We had to ask for the same thing several times before they brought it. And it wasn't because the place was too crowded. The food was fine, the meat envoltini were delicious. But the service was so bad that I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. They overcharged us (it wasn't for cutlery or anything, they just charged us more).

18/07/2026: Decent place, very slow service, extremely uncomfortable chairs, phone number disconnected due to lack of WiFi, the charcuterie board made with pieces of prosciutto cut close to the bone, bland pizza, dry swordfish meatballs. Very expensive for what we ate. Highly not recommended.

10/08/2026: The antipasto was incredibly complete: a sea of ​​ingredients cooked in a truly traditional way. The macaroni with goat sauce was delicious. Excellent service from the very kind and dedicated staff. Prices were below the quality offered. We'll definitely be back.

03/08/2026: During my stay in Bova at the B&B "L a Rotonda," the very kind owner recommended this restaurant in the heart of Bova. It was a wonderful choice: the traditional food was delicious, and the value was unmatched. Not to mention the owner's warm welcome, who guided us through the selection of dishes, for an experience of discovering typical Calabrian flavors. I absolutely recommend it.

05/08/2026: It's a restaurant where experience and taste reign supreme. One thing amazed me: in a restaurant like this, I'd left my cutlery on the appetizer plate, and the waitress kindly removed it and placed it on the table so I could use it again for the first course. Perhaps these are things they don't do even in the most remote trattorias anymore.

17/05/2026: Elegant place, top-notch cuisine, impeccable service

06/07/2026: Great authentic food, the tripe and porcini pasta are the best. Very nice service. It's worth coming here.

24/05/2026: Despite the late hour, we were welcomed warmly. We ate typical Calabrian dishes. The pasta was homemade.

19/05/2026: I'm only reviewing the restaurant. It's actually the only one in the area open during the day. The pizzas are freshly made, delicious, and the service is friendly. The place is quiet, even though it's on the road.

17/05/2026: We were there for dinner, so there's no room review 😁 The food was delicious, the seafood pizza was very good, and the pasta was also good. The nonno pizza was good, the carbonara pasta was spicy, and the egg was a bit too hard, but it all went together well.

09/08/2026: The food was good, and the service was good, too, at least until we were served a dish with bitter clams and a decidedly unpleasant smell. We immediately reported the problem and asked for an explanation. After about 30 minutes of waiting, we went to the cashier to pay the bill, once again explaining what had happened: no explanation, no interest, no apology. And we're talking about shellfish, so it was a situation that deserved much more attention. I should point out that we weren't looking for a discount or to be offered anything: the dish was paid in full. But explanations, yes, would have been the bare minimum. An inconvenience can happen in any restaurant; it's how it's handled that makes the difference. In this case, unfortunately, management was completely absent.

09/08/2026: We've eaten there a couple of times, and I have to say everything is consistently good and of high quality. Simple cuisine. The owner, Daniela, is incredibly kind, welcoming, and very professional. This restaurant is on the Belvedere seafront. It never disappoints.

17/04/2026: Simply superb. Thank you for the delicious food and the wine, which was excellent. The service was truly loving and attentive. Thank you so much, we'd love to come again.

10/02/2026: They opened just for us on a day they were closed. Delicious food and very kind people, not only in a beautiful place in Calabria ❤️ but also very open to vegan and vegetarian options.

05/08/2026: The place certainly isn't the prettiest, but the welcome and food undoubtedly beat out some much more renowned establishments. The lady at the counter was extremely kind and welcoming, pointing out the ready-made dishes in addition to the small refrigerated counter. We had visited the beautiful archaeological museum, were tired and hot, and she greeted us with smiles and kindness. The dishes, which vary according to availability, were simple but well-prepared: chicken steak, spaghetti with dried tomatoes, salad... excellent ingredients, executed to perfection! The locals know this and already come here ;)

14/07/2026: Delicious sandwiches, toasties, and fresh juices.
