I migliori ristoranti di cucina mediterranea in Catanzaro

11/08/2026: I dined at this restaurant and the experience was simply perfect from start to finish. The fresh fish was truly delicious, expertly cooked and showcasing the flavors of the sea. Gluten-Free: What can I say about the gluten-free offering? Such care and attention is rare. You can safely order gluten-free, with a wide selection from appetizers to first and second courses, without sacrificing taste or quality. Special praise goes to the entire staff, who are disarmingly kind and attentive to every need and detail. You feel pampered and 100% safe. Excellent value for money. It's hard to find such a high level of freshness, food safety, and service at such fair prices anywhere else. A restaurant absolutely recommended to everyone, and a must-visit for anyone seeking excellent seafood with truly superb gluten-free options.

11/08/2026: I had lunch at Prima o Poi with my girlfriend and we left feeling incredibly satisfied. The raw fish was top-notch, the first course truly delicious, and the second course beautifully done. What really makes the difference, however, is the service: the wait staff was professional, kind, and fast. And with such a good value for money, you couldn't ask for anything better. Highly recommended!

11/06/2026: A decidedly positive experience. The food was excellent, from the starters to the dessert, and there was a wide selection of wines.

26/05/2026: Very good food, very friendly staff, I recommend it

06/08/2026: Quality, professionalism, price a bit steep. The cover charge was €3 each. They served our bread in a cloth wrapper, clearly stained in several places with sauce. When my colleague noticed, he replaced it with another, unfortunately stained, wrapper. Perhaps it would be more practical to use disposable paper wrappers given the laundry service. In the small, bland risotto, I found a piece of plastic, I assume from the seafood bag. The Pizzo truffle seemed like an industrial product to me. The Contadi Castaldi Brut, a Franciacorta served by the glass, is one of the most classic, seen and revisited, and unfortunately it cost €8. The scallops were good. The owner boasted about the various photos with various celebrities displayed at the entrance, saying that's normal considering the food is good. If he says so... I don't recommend it.

05/08/2026: The food wasn't great. Not restaurant-quality. Everything was very greasy. Afterward, I felt heavy and uncomfortable. The seafood was fresh, but not tasty. I think the problem was in the kitchen. The child's pasta arrived an hour after the adults had finished eating. They brought ice cream to one of us first, and then the oysters we'd ordered arrived.

31/07/2026: Mamma Mia! Very friendly service and wonderful desserts and croissants! Highly recommended!

12/07/2026: A lovely discovery. I'd already tried their croissants at the Lamezia airport location, but the pastries here are incredibly good. The snowflake and the Parisian are noteworthy, delicious!

16/06/2026: We stop at a little restaurant tucked away before the hospital, and, surprise, the appetizer is plentiful and exceptional, with fresh bread and exquisite olive oil. Immediately after, a plate of tagliatelle with sun-dried tomatoes is truly out of this world; it could have fed three people. Kudos also to the frescoed wall with the history of the Manfredi restaurant, and paintings that make one think of the Art Nouveau era. Kudos also to the kindness of the staff, and the waitress in particular.

09/06/2026: Welcoming place, the food is very good! The staff takes great care of the tables and customers. I recommend it and will be back!

02/08/2026: I think it's a must for anyone visiting beautiful Soverato. The place is familiar and welcoming, as is the entire Salerno family, who with love, kindness, and expertise prepare stellar, absolutely fresh food, accompanied by consistently delicious drinks and service that makes you feel loved and pampered, and that also provides plenty of laughter with great music. In a word: you'll enjoy yourself! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

30/07/2026: The food was good, but unfortunately, in the linguine with mussels and clams, all the mussels had their shells uncleaned. For the price, I'd expect to find well-cleaned shells, both for hygiene reasons and because I was a bit disgusted by the sight of them. The sauce also had a grainy taste, like chopped nuts. I wasn't sure what it was, especially since it wasn't listed among the ingredients on the menu, but the flavor was still very good. Unfortunately, the worst part was the calamari skewers (off the menu), one of which was partially raw. Although I reported this to the waitress, they only apologized and offered us a house limoncello/bergamot, but at €16 for the two skewers, we paid the full price. They could have just discounted the cover charge, but it doesn't matter. I'm disappointed because it's clear the chef is skilled, but for the price, I expect a little more attention to detail in the dishes and in the way they treat the customers. The young man who served us, however, was very kind.

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.

11/06/2026: Highly recommended. Soft, cozy atmosphere with a bohemian feel. We ate very well and drank as well.

01/02/2026: A quaint and very refined restaurant nestled in the heart of Soverato Superiore. The staff is very kind, friendly, and knowledgeable. The food is a culinary journey through flavor and tradition. A place for a relaxing lunch or dinner. Recommended.

08/07/2026: We dined at this restaurant, which enjoys an enviable location with tables set on a terrace overlooking the sea. Beyond the stunning setting, they make wood-fired pizza that rivals Neapolitan pizza in every way. The fried fish was also excellent, paired with a recommended wine that made our evening even more enjoyable. Furthermore, the owner, Roberto, and his wife took great care of us throughout the dinner. I recommend all foodies to stop by Il Pirata.

01/07/2026: We had the pleasure of eating here for lunch and, so pleased with the food and atmosphere, we returned in the evening! The owner and the entire team are incredibly welcoming, the fish is incredibly fresh, and the location is perfect. You can also eat outside, accompanied by the sound of the sea. Highly recommended!

05/01/2026: Extremely good pizza. Always friendly and welcoming staff. Clean and elegant environment. Highly recommended.

16/05/2026: A delightful discovery for a business dinner: a top-notch culinary and visual experience, and extremely kind and welcoming staff. We wish we didn't have to leave the next day to return. Congratulations and thank you for the beautiful and delicious typical Calabrian dinner, with generous portions and very fair prices. Thank you!

07/05/2026: This was our first time at the restaurant, and we were pleasantly surprised by the food and the friendly, attentive service from the staff. Highly recommended for meat lovers.

27/05/2026: Excellent dinner. As for the raw fish, all the fish was very fresh. The main course was very good and plentiful. The small welcome appetizer and the sorbet between courses were appreciated. Attentive service, friendly and pleasant staff.

13/04/2026: Everyone tempted by the “Michelin” label — there’s nothing remotely Michelin about this place. It used to be outright fraud: no menu, wine pushed on you (naturally the most expensive), no prices listed anywhere, and the result is a shockingly high bill. Judging by the reviews, not much has changed — as the saying goes, you can’t teach an old clown new tricks. To anyone willing to take the risk, I strongly recommend that if there’s no menu, you should get up and leave immediately — exactly what I did at the time, along with many other “lucky” guests. This advice applies to all other establishments in Italy as well. Better yet, just don’t go at all. There are plenty of good restaurants around — ask the locals.

31/07/2026: A very nice restaurant with a great view under the grapevines. The staff is very friendly and the food is delicious. We love coming back there to eat.

30/07/2026: Great place, both the food and the pizza are excellent, I recommend it

28/03/2026: Exceptional pub: friendly staff and super-fast service. The quality of the ingredients is evident throughout, especially in the sandwiches. I tried the 5.9 and it was truly delicious. Highly recommended for those looking for the best!

26/03/2026: A small place right in the city center. A cozy atmosphere, with limited seating both inside and out. The sandwiches are excellent, and the burgers are definitely top-quality! The staff is friendly and welcoming: Vincenzo is always ready and attentive, and Bianca is kind, friendly, and attentive. We'll definitely be back!
