I migliori ristoranti di cucina mediterranea in Calabria

17/08/2025: Excellent restaurant in Bagnara. Excellent value for money. Recommended.

14/08/2025: We booked a table at 10:30 PM. We were seated at 11:00 PM. The first course was served at 11:50 PM. In my opinion, the wait staff wasn't sufficient for the number of customers present. I'm sorry, but a half-hour delay to seat us and an hour to be served is an unacceptable wait. The dishes were good, let's call them "traditional."

19/09/2025: The best of Chianalea! Delicious 'Agghiutto' swordfish

18/09/2025: I wrote a negative review but it was deleted. Avoid this place if you don't want to eat a fish for another fisherman. I say you can make fun of tourists but not someone who knows how to recognize fish. Yesterday they served us a little tunny as hard as stone, passing it off as amberjack. Amberjack has delicate, soft flesh. The waiter brings you wine without asking for it.

14/10/2025: An excellent playground for the little ones, in a protected environment you can use the games made available, such as: trampolines, inflatables, the two-a-side football pitch and many other games for children.

14/10/2025: Organized...the little girl had a lot of fun...And the food is good.

25/09/2025: Excellent centrally located property, friendly and helpful staff. Clean rooms.

18/09/2025: A good overnight experience Clean and friendly

20/09/2025: Entering this historic restaurant in Paola is like coming home; in fact, it's like discovering a home you didn't know you'd always been looking for. Every detail—from the white paint to the antique beams, from the long wooden "nave" that seems to tell family stories to the impressive aquarium with live lobsters—expresses a love of the sea and hospitality. Here, you're not just a customer: you're welcomed with genuine warmth. Chef Emilio is a master of seafood: each dish is a symphony of freshness and expertly balanced flavors. The seafood specialties are varied and always surprising; it's clear that each recipe is born of experience, passion, and respect for the ingredients. The fine wines selected further enhance the dishes, and the pizzas—yes, even the pizzas—are prepared with care and flavor. And the homemade desserts? A perfect conclusion that will remain in your heart. The family-run business of Carmelina, Emanuele, and the young Niccolò creates an intimate and authentic atmosphere: they manage everything with discretion, professionalism, and a warmth rarely found. The waiters are extremely kind, attentive, and never intrusive: their smiles complete an already extraordinary experience. The pride of a family that has transformed a restaurant into a place of celebration and memory is evident. The space is magnificent and versatile: the large capacity and the dramatic wooden nave make it perfect for weddings and anniversaries, those evenings where you want to share beauty with loved ones. The entrance, with its touches reminiscent of a London home—the doormat, the discreet ashtray for smokers—and the statue of San Francesco di Paola across the street, contribute to creating a unique, almost timeless atmosphere. I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart: for the excellent food, for the sincere welcome, and for creating a space where every visit becomes a precious memory. You have cultivated not just a restaurant, but a place of the soul. I have been a customer for years with immense pleasure and will recommend it to anyone who wants a genuine, warm, and unforgettable experience. With gratitude and respect, Marcello Scarpelli, "a grateful customer"!

19/09/2025: Kindness and professionalism. Excellent cuisine, many delicacies.

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.

21/06/2025: Excellent pizzas and a wide choice of flavors .the goodness is not only the pizza but also many other foods prepared with care by the owners.

10/10/2025: My boyfriend and I dined at this restaurant and were thrilled with the food. The seafood was high-quality, both in the appetizers and the first and second courses. Unfortunately, the service was a weak point: the waiters were listless, and it was clear they were rushing to vacate the tables. Not even a smile, and the service was sometimes unprofessional. Very nice atmosphere.

02/10/2025: Good choice in Reggio A little out of the center, on a quiet street Good food at a bit expensive price

30/09/2025: An oasis in the September desert, a meticulously maintained place, with authentic and exquisite cuisine, a jewel worth preserving!

10/09/2025: You can't judge a book by its cover. The outside is not at all appealing but the food is great and reasonably priced. Try the seafood antipasto, several delicious morsels. In fact we could have stopped at that ! Instead we also shared a squid ink pasta. Very large serving. Wine was 4 euros for more than half a bottle of house wine !

29/09/2025: Excellent food. Few dishes on the menu but well made and carefully prepared. Excellent value for money.

03/09/2025: I had the pleasure of dining at this seafood restaurant, and I must say it was a truly enjoyable experience. The dishes are carefully prepared, the fish is incredibly fresh, and the flavors showcase the ingredients to their fullest. Despite the high quality, the prices remain fair, which is not to be taken for granted and is absolutely appreciated. The staff is friendly, helpful, and attentive without ever being intrusive. The location, a renovated old olive oil mill, is stunning and contributes to a unique and welcoming atmosphere. Highly recommended for those who love good seafood and are looking for a place that combines taste, friendliness, and beauty.

02/09/2025: The food is delicious, at least what we had, and the service was very friendly and attentive. We happened to stay one night at the nearby campsite. We can highly recommend it.

02/09/2025: Very nice restaurant with a lovely terrace. The food is very good; the only downside was that we waited a bit too long for the pizzas, even though it was a Saturday night. Highly recommended.
