I migliori ristoranti di cucina mediterranea in Calabria

06/06/2026: The environment needs updating but the pizza is excellent and the prices are excellent.

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

02/05/2026: I visited Ristorante Maris, a historic establishment that has been around for over thirty years, and precisely for this reason, my expectations were quite high. Unfortunately, my experience didn't live up to the reputation it has built over time. The location is rather small, so much so that the terrace was needed to accommodate a larger number of customers. The service, while courteous, seemed sluggish at times; for example, drinks were served at an unsuitable temperature. Even on the culinary front, I would have expected something more, especially for a restaurant specializing in fish. The portions seemed rather small, and the dishes, overall, were less rich than one might expect from a place with such a long tradition. I recognize the restaurant's history and commitment, but I believe some aspects could be revised to offer an experience more in line with the expectations that a name like Maris inevitably generates.

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

20/05/2026: Excellent food in a well-maintained and nicely decorated restaurant. Prices are reasonable. Service is good.

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

07/11/2025: We ate well at a fixed price and had top service.

03/05/2026: Top-notch ingredients! Warm welcome and helpful staff!! We'll be back!!

03/05/2026: Traveling coast to coast, we stopped at this agriturismo with very high expectations for the food based on the reviews. The location is definitely beautiful, the rooms are clean. A true agriturismo, they serve only their own food. Be warned, though: the dinner wasn't particularly generous and lacked a wide variety. Nothing special, but it fell short of our expectations. We started with a first course of homemade pasta with tomato sauce—the homemade pasta was definitely appreciated. After that, we had a second course of a tiny slice of pork and salad, with no other meat available. Luckily, some of their homemade cured meats arrived later. Mr. Antonio kept us company all evening, which was certainly appreciated. Pier, for us, was the best. Perhaps our expectations were too high, and we were a bit disappointed. The lady only smiled at us when we left. Generally speaking, if you're passing by, stop by; the price is a bit high for what's on offer, so lower your expectations.

05/04/2026: Truly a great place. A true agriturismo with home-grown produce. The food is excellent, and the family who runs it is truly friendly and helpful. The prices are super fair.

01/10/2025: Hotel with beautiful, functional, clean rooms and an excellent view. Basically, everything you need in a hotel. Breakfast is more than adequate, and the staff are very friendly. Several good restaurants are nearby for dinner. An excellent starting point for visiting the surrounding area and Reggio.

11/09/2025: Excellent hotel with very friendly staff and a splendid location in front of the sea

28/10/2025: Friendly, welcoming and knowledgeable waiting staff.

14/06/2026: Good food, even 4-star, but unfortunately the service was slow—about 45 minutes for a pizza, a lasagna, a parcel, and a pasta dish with two meatballs. That said, the place wasn't full.

20/05/2026: We've been enjoying our holiday in Badolato for a few days now. We ate here for the first time on Sunday, right after our arrival. Every dish we've tried so far has been delicious – whether pizza, pasta, meat dishes, or fish. The service is incredibly friendly and they're always happy to explain everything to us. Our dog is always welcome, too. Thank you so much for the wonderful service. We'd love to come back and will definitely recommend you to others.

02/06/2026: Great restaurant with very friendly staff and excellent food. We visited both for lunch and dinner and were satisfied every time. In the evening, the romantic seating during sunset was absolutely beautiful. Highly recommended.

16/05/2026: The website advertises the place as being open 24 hours. However, it's completely closed when you arrive. No sign or anything. I guess that's how they do things when they don't want customers 🤷🏼‍♂️

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😌

16/09/2025: I've been from Catanzaro since I was born, and since I love the sea so much, I should know every place, but I assure you, that's not the case 🤣🤣🤣. I discovered this place purely by chance, and among the many beaches lined up, my "snack buddy" Nilde asked me which one inspires you? And I replied: "This one, definitely this one, because it has these elegant umbrellas, this tidy beach, and then I don't know, but this spot inspires me 🤣🤣." And so it was, 9 days of pure relaxation, thoroughly enjoyed. I highly recommend it, also for the kindness of Maria, her sister, and everyone else who helped make these days of vacation truly unforgettable. Thank you so much Alessandra and Nilde See you next summer

07/09/2025: Very beautiful beach, well-maintained lido, excellent restaurant. Everyone is very kind and friendly, except for the guy (maybe the son?) who accompanies you to your umbrella. Prices are medium to high, but from my experience, it seems like even in Calabria they're overdoing it, thus hindering tourism growth.

01/06/2026: Gnocchi a la mare was beautiful !

10/05/2026: Excellent pizza, quality ingredients, wood-fired, truly delicious. Other pizzerias serve pizza with raw tomatoes and no flavor. In Scalea, Corsaro knows what it's doing. I recommend it if you really enjoy eating good pizza, with excellent ingredients and prices.
