I migliori ristoranti di cucina mediterranea in Calabria

08/11/2025: Location chosen based on positive reviews. Terrible breakfast: raw croissant and undrinkable cappuccino. The environment is poorly maintained and dirty in some areas. Staff are sparse.

22/12/2025: Home cooking, excellent house appetizers, excellent grill, everything perfect, thank you ♥️ for everything.

16/11/2025: The restaurant is located in the middle of nature; eating on the terrace overlooking the forest is very relaxing and pleasant. The place is a bit dated. Authentic, locally sourced food! Homemade and tasty cuisine, excellent quality cured meats, and goat meat cooked to perfection and very flavorful! The homemade pasta was excellent. Excellent service, welcoming and prompt. The price was commensurate with the quality of the food; I highly recommend it. I came back for the second time, but this time I wasn't very satisfied. The meat was a bit chewy, and the cured meats and pickles weren't my cup of tea.

29/03/2026: Great hotel with a great bar/restaurant in a good location.

20/03/2026: Excellent coffee, delicious desserts and attentive customer service make this an unmissable experience.

04/12/2025: What can I say? Excellent location. I stayed there one night, the room was spotless and felt like being in a grand hotel. I will gladly return next time and recommend it to anyone passing through Scalea.

16/11/2025: Great location, close to both downtown and the beach. The room was comfortable, and the kind owner elevated our experience to the highest level. If you’re planning a stay in Scalea, this hotel comes highly recommended.

10/09/2025: A very positive experience, the staff were friendly and the food was delicious. The burgers were excellent, not heavy, and the fried food was highly recommended. The place also has a good selection of alcohol. The price was very reasonable for the quality. A great find.

22/08/2025: We loved it; once we got there, we saw that it was very faithful to what we'd seen online; the photos and reviews were accurate. The girl who served us was excellent; she knew her job, selling without being intrusive or rude. Kind and with a smile on her face, she was there all evening without being intrusive. The platter we ordered was delicious, very beautiful to look at, very generous, and very tasty. The only thing I didn't like was that when it came time to pay, the receipt was a single amount instead of the individual items that restaurants usually do. So at the end of the evening, I wasn't able to compare prices as I usually do, and I don't think that's fair.

19/04/2026: The restaurant is in a beautiful location. The food is good and well-cooked, but you can't charge €20 for a fried dish with 5 calamari and 3 shrimp. The prices are unreasonable.

06/04/2026: We were passing through and stopped at this cute restaurant with a beautiful view of Dino Island. Excellent food, excellent service. Perhaps the prices were a little high, but since it was Easter Monday, that's okay. Another positive was that we ate lunch inside with our dog, who was welcomed by the staff.

30/12/2025: We chose 4 pizza flavors from the wide range. The dough is nicely crispy, and the filling is sufficient and tasty. I recommend it.

19/12/2025: Truly delicious takeout pizza. Light and delicious! I'll definitely be back.

02/01/2026: I was with friends for a post-dinner drink, and we chose this place based on past experiences that were neither praise nor infamy. We arrived at the place and were off to a bad start, with two people smoking inside the covered veranda. We attempted to order some gins from the long list available on the menu, but they promptly weren't available... After about 4-5 failed attempts at ordering gin, and one attempt at ordering a beer, where none of the 4 on the menu were available, we decided to let the waiter decide, indicating our tastes... My friends were a little luckier, but I received some real "fuel"... As long as I live, I will never set foot there again. Thank you and never again.

27/12/2025: A terrible spritz, all ice in a plastic cup. Paid €8 without a single crisp or appetizer. Outrageous.

04/04/2026: We came here on the recommendation of our landlord, and I have to say, it's fantastic! You can watch the food being prepared, and the steaks are grilled over the fireplace. Absolutely delicious. The prices are very reasonable. We'll definitely be back. 🥩😋

21/03/2026: Historic restaurant and pizzeria. Anyone looking for a quiet, unhurried evening and excellent traditional pizza can't go wrong here. It's also recommended for lovers of grilled meats, cooked directly on the large fireplace in the main dining room.

19/12/2025: From the atmosphere to the food, everything was excellent. The staff and owners were extremely kind and professional.

12/12/2025: Stellar food...excellent. The only thing...how come they charge me 8 euros for a pizza and then 10 for two beers?...other than that, the place is excellent and I highly recommend it to everyone😌

14/02/2026: A family-run restaurant that welcomes you warmly and always offers a small fritter while you wait for your order. Very low prices, but high-quality products. Since 2026, the menu has had new specialty pizzas that I highly recommend trying. I've dined here about 20 times, and each time, the positive story repeats itself...

19/01/2026: Emilio, the owner, was immediately available and friendly as soon as he saw us come in. He let us choose a table, and we took advantage of the opportunity to get one for six, but there were only two of us; it wasn't as crowded as the last time we came, so we were comfortable. Valentina, smiling and attentive, immediately offered us a taste of the IMPACCHIUSE potatoes, a local specialty. If I have to point out a flaw, I can only complain about the speed of service. I had a lamb tagliata on a red-hot griddle, which I had already had the first time; I remembered it as fantastic, and it once again confirmed Vernante's unique 450-day tradition of goodness. My other half had a Margherita with porcini mushrooms, exceptional; for us Neapolitans, it was a real surprise. They were great, friendly, and very fast. Our favorite place in Rende. In the summer, being outside will be even more pleasant. I forgot, they also offered us a Nutella donut 😋😋😋😋😋 at the end. I forgot to bring a portion of zucchini flower fritters upon arrival, just to please 💯 Cristiano

25/08/2025: Good food and very helpful manager

15/08/2025: The food is good. The waitress is very good and friendly. The place is nice.

25/02/2026: Certainly a point of reference for a business lunch with typical local dishes.

13/02/2026: Whether it's spring, summer, autumn or winter always super friendly staff food quality consistently good

07/04/2026: Excellent restaurant, every time we are in the area we always gladly return.

22/02/2026: I recommend this beautiful and, above all, tasty Italian food 🇮🇹👍.

11/05/2026: Good pizza and reasonable prices. The atmosphere is large and crowded on a Saturday, but the service isn't affected.

04/05/2026: The place is very spacious, well-ventilated, and clean. The staff is efficient and friendly. We had an excellent pizza, truly well-cooked and made with quality ingredients. The atmosphere is popular with locals, and the prices are especially reasonable. We'll definitely recommend it for future occasions.
