I migliori ristoranti di cucina mediterranea in Calabria

19/10/2025: Historic café/pastry shop/restaurant located on the city's central Corso Garibaldi. The quality of the products is excellent, the service excellent, and the Art Nouveau furnishings are very elegant.

15/10/2025: Came here tonight and was so glad I did. Waiter was very attentive and my meal was delicious. Lovely outside dining area.

12/10/2025: Terrible. We waited over half an hour just to get our order, which they didn't even know how to take... after a two-hour wait, we ate a few appetizers, which were also very salty, and in the end we left without lunch. It was a huge disappointment. Highly not recommended.

12/10/2025: It was supposed to be a Sunday at the end of summer. We chose to go to this restaurant where I had eaten a few years ago and was satisfied. We arrived at 1:30 PM as per our reservation. We sat down, and around 2:00 PM a waiter arrived and we ordered our entire lunch. Around 2:45 PM, we were served our appetizers, with some dishes that hadn't been listed on our order at all. Around 3:30 PM, after several requests, we asked how much longer we had for the entrees and were told at least half an hour. At this point, I asked for the bill and left. I understand that the restaurant was fully booked, but if you can serve 50 people, you also have to have enough staff in the kitchen. You can't just charge people and make them wait 3-4 hours at their table. It was an experience to forget, and I'll never go back. I'd suggest that the owners, since they're on social media, read the reviews every now and then to improve. P.s. Many people were complaining about the long wait times.

29/08/2025: Luxurious and excellent restaurant

27/08/2025: Typical Greek meal from the region, a real pleasure to have eaten here with a breathtaking view of the sea

05/10/2025: My husband and I went for dinner a few weeks ago. The place is nice, but we ordered ravioli and only got gnocchi. I ordered slow-cooked black pig medallions, so the meat should have been incredibly tender, but it was actually tough and grilled. Furthermore, I found a toothpick in the medallion that wasn't part of the dish, and they didn't even know why it was there. The prices aren't in line with the quality of the dishes. Nothing special.

05/10/2025: A very good choice in Tropea. We ate very well, especially the salt-baked sea bass, which was spectacular. Friendly service. Exceptional dining room with sea views. Very good!

13/10/2025: The worst and most expensive restaurant we visited on this trip. The most expensive and worst wine we've ever had. Salads and sides were extra. The portions were tiny and tasteless. In short, we didn't like anything. We paid 95 euros for one appetizer and two tiny main courses with a tiny pizza and two tiny desserts. I was incredibly surprised when we received a seafood pizza with shells. It was a disaster. If you want delicious Italian food, this is definitely not the place. None of the dishes served, except for the pre-made salad bought at the supermarket, had any flavor. I do not recommend this restaurant. Avoid it completely, as the prices are completely out of proportion to the quality.

12/10/2025: Stopped by on the way back from Diamante. Seafood restaurant and pizzeria, but they have a bit of everything. The interior isn't great, although it could perhaps use some updating. However, it's made up for by the service (friendly, helpful, and fast) and the food served.

17/07/2025: Pizza veramente buona con ingredienti secondo eccellenti. Tempi di attesa nella media. I prezzi sono alti marapporto qualita prezzi ci sta. Da provare

20/06/2025: Pizza excellente accueil parfait. Nous y sommes retournés à deux reprises, tellement les pizzas étaient bonnes. L’accueil a été chaleureux. Les discussions entre nous également. Adresse à visiter absolument

08/10/2025: Top notch restaurant! Absolutely amazing food & service! Yes, we are family, but they treat everyone equally with great food, great service and top notch quality 👌Gianni, Antonella, Domenico & the family are super hosts! If your in or near Siderno, you must have lunch or dinner here. You will not regret it!

08/09/2025: Nice place, very welcoming and attentive staff. We had seafood, everything was very good and fresh. The prices were more than fair. It was a pleasant discovery, highly recommended.

26/08/2025: We spent fourteen days at this residence, but unfortunately, we were very disappointed. Starting with the sewer smell in the room every day, which they explained to us was due to nearby drains (I would have liked to know this before arriving). The cleanliness of the rooms needs to be improved, the sheets sometimes had holes in them, and sometimes they weren't changed. The breakfast service was terrible for a 4-star hotel, so much so that we only used it for a few days, then we left. There's little supervision from the staff in general throughout the property. The location is beautiful, but poorly managed. Our holiday was saved by the lounge bar area, where we were pampered with delicious cocktails and platters. The staff were kind and super helpful. The beach is very beautiful, but in Calabria, when it comes to the sea, there's not much to say; it's a shame about everything else. It's a property we definitely won't return to.

25/08/2025: So, a hotel of this standard in terms of cleanliness disappointed me: dirty bathroom, fixtures full of limescale, closets full of dust. The owners were unfriendly, not at all sociable, never smiled, except for the daughter-in-law with the child who smiled and said hello. Then let's not even talk about the water at the table, which wasn't included. In no other hotel have I ever paid for water at the table. Are you kidding? Not even a jug. I will never return, without some entertainment, without a piano bar in the evening. The food was pretty good, but €2.50 for water with half board is unbearable. I was disappointed because it's a beautiful hotel with an excellent location, but it's not at all valued and is also expensive for the services it offers.

20/09/2025: We had dinner this evening and, unfortunately, the experience didn't live up to expectations. The food was average, nothing to justify the prices, which were truly excessive for what was offered. But what most impacted the overall rating was the service: in particular, a waiter with a goatee was arrogant and presumptuous, with an unprofessional and unwelcoming attitude. It's a shame, because the place has potential, but between the unmemorable food quality, the exorbitant prices, and such unpleasant service, I don't think we'll be back.

18/09/2025: With a breathtaking view, friendly and helpful staff, and excellent food, it rightly has its prices. But when you eat well and feel good, it's money well spent.

16/08/2025: We've been to this place twice. The people are very friendly. The pizza and restaurant are excellent. Highly recommended. Fabio Vienna

13/08/2025: We visited this place during the week of August 15th and found a table right away. The staff were friendly and welcoming, and they knew how to manage the dining room well. We went to Don Rocco because we'd seen a fantastic aperitivo featuring both cooked and raw fish at a special price on Instagram, but in the end we opted for several dishes to share and sample. Pleasantly surprised, we recommend the peppered mussels... sublime to say the least! The view was spectacular, next to the Norman cathedral in a truly picturesque little square.

08/10/2025: The best pizza in central Italy...the one with the incredible porchetta.

08/09/2025: The best pizza and rotisserie cuisine. Authentic, authentic flavors. My favorites. Kudos to the whole team.

09/10/2025: To my great surprise I found a nice place.

19/07/2025: I give 5 stars because the service is excellent but also the food and the environment is very clean

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!!!

08/09/2025: Nestled among the quiet alleys of a small village at the foot of the first Sila hills, this small restaurant—seating just thirty or so—offers a culinary experience that goes far beyond a simple meal. Here, in the heart of Caccuri, Calabrian cuisine is expressed with authenticity and pride, in a warm and sincere atmosphere. The location is simple and rustic, yet brimming with personality: stone walls, minimalist furnishings, and that sense of genuine hospitality that only family-run businesses can offer. You won't find paper menus on the tables, nor a formal wine list. The daily menu is prominently displayed at the entrance, a sign of a cuisine that changes with the seasons and the availability of local ingredients. Yet, paradoxically, it is precisely this lack of formality that becomes its strength: the owners, with warmth and expertise, guide guests in their choice of dishes, with passion and a deep knowledge of the local area. The gastronomic offering is a tribute to Calabrian tradition: bold flavors, local ingredients, and dishes steeped in history and memory. While maintaining their rural soul, the dishes are served with a meticulous presentation that hints at gourmet cuisine, without ever being artificial or pretentious. Each dish tells a story—of the Sila, of the family that prepares it, of Calabria as a whole. In an era where authenticity is often sacrificed for spectacularity, this small restaurant stands out for its consistency and heart. It's a place that doesn't need glitter to shine, because what speaks for itself are the aromas, the flavors, and that sense of belonging that is felt from the first bite. Highly recommended for those seeking the true soul of Calabrian cuisine, served with pride and love.

24/08/2025: A small, family-run restaurant with seating for about 30. Service is friendly, but sometimes confusing, with one entree arriving after we'd already finished the other. There's no food and wine menu. The appetizer was small but acceptable, the entree lacking: rigatoni was overcooked and the spaghetti sauce tasteless. To top it all off, the bill was too high considering the quality of the food and the average prices in the area. One complete appetizer, two entrees, and a half-liter of house wine totaled €66. All of this was listed only as a handwritten total and without any justification for the prices. Elsewhere, you can eat much better and pay less.

20/10/2025: We dined with The Fork in a wonderful outdoor location in August, but we weren't able to review it directly on the The Fork app. The staff was incredibly friendly, and we really enjoyed chatting with the owner, who was eager to get to know us and tell us that he's moved from the north to charming Tropea. We ate well and also enjoyed the huge portions of local onions.

20/10/2025: From waiter to customer, I finished my working season and after 7 months I spent an evening as a customer and for good reason I praised the dishes, giving them some good and some bad reviews, but I tried them myself and they are amazing. Not to mention the staff, my colleagues and friends, creating a harmonious atmosphere thanks to the owners Roby and Gaia, who are wonderful people who have managed to be friends and employers at the right time and in the right way. EXCELLENT FOOD EXCELLENT STAFF GAYA AND ROBY ARE FANTASTIC
