I migliori ristoranti di cucina mediterranea in Calabria

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.

15/09/2025: Fast, reasonable price and delicious

07/09/2025: A very noisy restaurant right on a busy road, completely overcrowded due to its proximity to the beach. The pizza was mediocre, the salad boring. The staff was hectic, and the atmosphere was dull.

29/07/2025: Cucina eccellente e particolare. Personale qualificato e simpatico. Location incantevole vista mare. Assolutamente da provare!

14/07/2025: Come dice il titolo bisogna stare attenti ai turisti è vero che passano una volta ma possano fare il passa parola. Cominciamo posto bellissimo dentro fuori siamo in strada sedie scomode,abbiamo ordinato due risotti con gamberi e stracciatella si buono ma non si sentiva tanto il gambero . Ordino un vino rose'calabrese arriva la cameriera (per me non sa fare il suo lavoro)arriva con un altra tipo di vino sempre dello stessa ditta ma quello più caro dicendo l'altro non ce, premetto il menu era stato rifatto da pochi giorni . Ordino il secondo tonno co pistacchio con arancia e miele è mi arriva il tonno con pistacchio e cipolla ,arancia e miele neanche l'ombra, chiedo spiegazione è sempre la signora dice che avevano sbagliato ha scrivere il menù ripeto rifatto da poco, mj sono sentito preso in giro perché insisteva ha dire che era quello li il piatto in più era nella norma . Poi quando si ordina il tonno il cameriere dice sempre come vuole la cottura la signora non mj ha detto niente. Penso che bisogna essere molto professionali per stare al pubblico io sono stato in altri 3 ristoranti ha Pizzo e sono stato veramente tanto bene. Per ultimo andate dal ristorante la Lampara per imparare ha cuocere il tonno e la gentilezza.

29/05/2025: Prezzi esorbitanti. Capisco la fetta di carne ma pagare una pizza come se fossimo in una località turistica anche no.....posto piccolo e staff non molto cortese...ho mangiato pizze migliori

11/04/2025: Small and welcoming, excellent food and service. Be on the safe side

19/08/2025: Excellent beach resort and restaurant

14/08/2025: Great place to enjoy a delicious 🍕

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

21/07/2025: Courtesy and availability for gluten-free and lactose-free dishes

14/07/2025: A traditional restaurant in a secluded location, with very friendly service and fresh fish to choose from. Very fair prices.

29/06/2025: Everything incredibly good, cleanliness, kindness and professionalism do the rest. We returned after a year and we even found an increase in quality and goodness in the appetizers. You deserve the highest marks, congratulations.

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!

27/08/2025: Clean and welcoming place, friendly and helpful staff, and the food is truly fantastic. Excellent quality ingredients, expertly prepared. Recommended for lovers of good food and excellent meat.

22/08/2025: Very good, the meat is very fresh!

23/08/2025: Excellent quality food, fresh ingredients, and excellent seafood spaghetti. I should point out that I tried to book by phone and was told there was no room until three days later. When I walked by and asked, just to be sure, they gave me a table at 7:30 PM. We shared some courses, which were served separately. Great customer service, perhaps even too much. I was pleasantly surprised that in an AIC-certified restaurant, which is dedicated to gluten-free dining, there was a €3 surcharge for each gluten-free dish served, in addition to a €3 cover charge per person. This didn't happen in other restaurants that were kind enough to prepare gluten-free meals for a celiac, despite not being AIC-certified. Overall, a pleasant dinner.

23/08/2025: Amazing cuisine and I said it all as a great man said

28/08/2025: Friendly staff, finally smiling, excellent food, beautiful beachfront location. I'd add just 50g of pasta to the starters and you're the best (but that's purely subjective), in fact I still gave everything 5 stars.

26/08/2025: A beautiful place where you can admire a beautiful sunset. There's a certain pressure to order without even having time to sit down. The spaghetti with clams and the grilled fish are good. The portions are decidedly small. The prices are high (after all, if you charge €12 for spaghetti without sauce for a 5-year-old, imagine the change). The service is terrible. If I point out that you're clearing away the plates and bread without even finishing, you can't tell me that this way you'll finish your work faster. What a shame.

02/09/2025: I had dinner with friends. I had the carpaccio and tartare appetizer. Delicious. Then I chose the duck, which also turned out to be an excellent choice. The Florentine steak my friends had was tender and good quality. The pecorino fondue was also very enjoyable!

01/09/2025: We visited this restaurant after reading excellent reviews, but unfortunately, we weren't entirely satisfied. The place was okay, with no outside seating and friendly service, but the food wasn't what we expected... the first courses weren't bad in terms of flavor despite the overcooked pasta, but the second courses could have been better plated. In my case, the duck breast with berries and bitter cape amaro wasn't as flavorful as the meat, which was also tough. The roast potatoes were good. The place was okay, but not as exceptional as described.

29/08/2025: Congratulations, excellent service, excellent meat, beautiful place where you eat very well.

27/08/2025: Always high quality, excellent meat, excellent pizzas, always fresh fish!!!

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.

04/09/2025: I'd been there a few years ago. And I loved it. We went back and had a mixed antipasto. A bergamot tagliolini with scampi and chopped pistachios. A stroncatura with cherry tomatoes, olives, and toasted anchovies. A pizzo calabro truffle and a blueberry cake. Half a liter of red wine. €60 for two. I recommend it.

31/08/2025: Well-run, clean and welcoming place, tasty dishes, local products
