I migliori ristoranti di cucina mediterranea in Cosenza

18/11/2025: Located on one of Paola's main streets, it offers outdoor dining, and is very quiet in the evening. The owner is a very friendly and helpful person; he takes care of selecting the ingredients, which are truly top-notch. The sandwiches are truly delicious! 💯

28/08/2025: It's with regret that I can't leave more than one review, for the wine selection, the sandwiches, the fried foods, and the food. Everything is WONDERFUL. Not to mention the hospitality and kindness of the owner and his family, wonderful people with whom it's a real pleasure to chat. Worthy of note: spaghetti with clams, fried calamari and shrimp, and the breaded fetta sandwich—handmade, not the industrial junk they dish out at other places. I'm just sorry that my work stint in Paola will soon take me away from here, because it would have been my favorite place.

03/01/2026: It was my first time at this restaurant, and inspired by the many positive reviews, I wanted to try it for my birthday, so we went with my sweetheart. We had a great time, and the food was delicious, starting with the appetizer, which had several courses, all cooked very well and with care (personally, I would make the gnocchi with less oil because I couldn't finish them all). Otherwise, we had a great time, and the service was truly impeccable, and they even gave us excellent wine recommendations. I'm very satisfied.

12/12/2025: Unique place, relaxing atmosphere, excellent service and food.

21/11/2025: Excellent quality. Very fresh fish. Anchovies "arriganate"... fabulous.

29/09/2025: A truly special evening. The place is a little gem: dim lighting, soft music, and an energy that makes you feel instantly at home. I asked them to lower the speaker above me slightly, and they were kind enough to do so immediately, with a smile. We ate divinely, and, something rare, we left feeling pampered and nourished not only in our stomachs but also in our souls. And all this at a price you won't find elsewhere, even for much less refined dinners. A place that stays in your heart, worth trying again and again. ✨

14/10/2025: I visited this restaurant, the location is great, the staff is helpful and friendly. The food is a bit salty for me, I didn't get the taste I expect in a restaurant, and the price is a bit too high for the taste.

12/10/2025: Very poor dishes; paying 28 euros for 40 grams of spaghetti with lobster is really a lot!! The appetizer was very simple and disappointing.

12/10/2025: Very friendly and accommodating staff. The entire stay was very pleasant and enjoyable. Thank you!

02/10/2025: What can I say? We had a simply wonderful weekend! Wellness program, back and neck massage, excellent dinner, overnight stay, and breakfast. Every time we return, it never disappoints, especially the food... top notch!

22/08/2025: On our way back from Paola, we decided to try this restaurant in the ancient village of Belmonte. The staff were very friendly and welcoming. We took the chef up on a suggestion, and he prepared an excellent pacchero with amberjack. The price was perhaps a little steep...but you pay for quality food.

18/08/2025: I dined at Taverna Intru u Vicu with a group of friends. Let me start by saying that the location is stunning: both the terrace and the alleyway will surely provide guests with an unforgettable experience. The service was kind and friendly, without being intrusive, and the owner and waiter made us feel at home. The house wine, served during dinner, was also excellent. As for the menu, the owner's innovation was much appreciated. No dish was banal, and the flavors were well-balanced. The tuna on tomato steak and the pickled tuna (€16-18) are definitely worth trying as appetizers. I personally ordered the mixed fried fish (€22), which was good, fresh, and crispy, but perhaps a bit small for a main course. In conclusion, absolutely recommended for those looking for an unconventional dinner in an excellent location. For eight of us, with four appetizers, eight courses, wine, drinks, and two shared desserts, we spent about €50 each.

22/08/2025: The staff is excellent and they treat you like family!! This enchanting place just has to be seen, it can't be described....😍😍

11/01/2026: I used to go there when I was little

20/12/2025: For families with children. A wonderland. Kids have a blast.

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.

25/12/2025: We went for Christmas Day lunch and, despite the food we ate over the holidays, we enjoyed delicious food served with the utmost courtesy by the ever-present waiters. The hot appetizers and lasagna were excellent. The set menu also included some delicious homemade desserts. The bathrooms were clean, even after service. Definitely worth repeating, even on an unscheduled occasion.

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