I migliori ristoranti di cucina mediterranea in Calabria

23/08/2026: Best swordfish I've ever eaten. Fast service, very friendly staff. And it's open on Sundays 😁 Highly recommended!

22/08/2026: The outdoor area is not recommended for traffic. The quality/price ratio is too unbalanced.

11/08/2026: A very welcoming environment surrounded by greenery, the staff is always attentive to your every need, and the service is excellent, not to mention the owner, Gianni, who greets everyone as he goes around the tables. As for the food, what can I say? Fresh ingredients, carefully prepared, especially the fish. The pizzas are excellent, among the best I've ever eaten. I recommend anyone who hasn't been there yet to check them out.

22/07/2026: I'm in Siderno for work. I asked a local friend where to go for dinner, and he recommended "PIATTO MATTO." I can't give it ten stars, otherwise I would. The owner is a delightful, disarmingly kind person, the wait staff is top-notch, and the cuisine is impeccable. I recommend "PIATTO MATTO" to anyone looking for a carefree, relaxing evening, but above all, enjoying excellent cuisine. NB: Spaghetti alla corte d'assise is addictive.

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.

03/09/2025: I ate divinely, beautiful place.

28/08/2025: La Signora del Vento – Family Passion and Seafood Flavors An experience that captivates from the first moment. La Signora del Vento is a family-run restaurant where everything speaks of passion, attention to detail, and authenticity. In the kitchen, Chef Antonella and her son Domenico create dishes that celebrate Calabrian tradition with a touch of creativity, while in the dining room, Renato, with professionalism and friendliness, guides guests on a journey of flavor, taking care of every detail of the service. We sampled the maltagliati with shrimp, clams, and zucchini: a fragrant, balanced dish rich in seafood. Next, came the amberjack with zucchini and the scent of orange; the freshest fish, perfectly cooked, and a combination of flavors that lingers in your memory. A special thanks also to Angela, kind and attentive, who made the evening even more enjoyable. A place where you feel welcomed right at home, with excellent cuisine and a warm, family atmosphere. La Signora del Vento is an unmissable stop for those who want to experience the sea even at the table, enjoying the splendid panorama of the Strait of Messina.

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.

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!

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.

25/08/2026: Great experience. We received recommendations from Donatello, who was super kind and friendly. We loved the food and the conversations with Donatello and Maleck. I highly recommend it.

25/08/2026: Excellent food, a 20 Fork discount, outdoor tables, but too close together. Perfect and fast 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.

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.

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.

23/08/2026: It was a delightful experience in every way... great staff, great atmosphere, excellent food. I highly recommend it. (P.S. I dream about the swordfish roll with nougat at night.)

23/08/2026: We ordered gnocchi with mussels and shrimp, but they were empty. We ordered three first courses; two arrived simultaneously, while the third took about 20 minutes. The appetizers were poor.

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.

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
