I migliori ristoranti di cucina mediterranea in Cosenza

01/09/2025: Strategically located on the SS18. Excellent pastry shop.

20/08/2025: I don't know about the rooms but the pastry shop is excellent and cheap.

04/11/2025: Impeccable service and food exactly as you'd expect. And it's especially pleasant to sit on the terrace overlooking the sea. Not bad.

17/10/2025: Excellent in every way, I don't understand how anyone could complain. Clean and welcoming atmosphere, kindness, courtesy, and hospitality. Excellent food from appetizer to dessert. Location with a fantastic view... Owners and staff are always available. We will definitely be back.

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.

21/12/2025: Every time I go, I enjoy the good food and the absolute kindness and helpfulness of the staff.

20/09/2025: Very rustic "place." Meatballs and fried foods undercooked. Wine selection nonexistent.

09/01/2026: Great restaurant that we visit almost every year!

27/12/2025: The restaurant is nice. The pizza is very good, but the Diavola wasn't as spicy as I expected. The grilled fish was a bit dry, but we really enjoyed the house wine. Overall, a pleasant experience, but there's room for improvement.

25/10/2025: Last night, I was invited to a former student's 30th birthday party: a wonderful celebration, both friendly and family-oriented! I knew the restaurant, Arca di Noè, from having attended two 100-day lunches there, in different school years and at different schools. Since the Covid years, on several occasions, I've only enjoyed the pizza: Roman-style, but good. On those occasions, I appreciated the owner's daughter's helpfulness and generosity in offering coffee and/or liqueur at the end of the meal. On this last occasion, I asked her mother about her, and I left her with my regards and thanks. Returning to Andrea's celebrations, the restaurant's cuisine is simple, authentic, Italian, and local (Calabrian): definitely worth trying. For the event, the table was beautifully decorated, with a pure white tablecloth. The service was satisfactory, and the richness of the dishes was enough for seconds. I therefore recommend it. And I'll be back soon with friends for another carefree evening and for the pleasure of the food. Ennio

07/10/2025: Beautiful place suitable for any event

27/12/2025: We were there in the middle of August and had a great meal, but today, December 27th, we were a bit disappointed. The seafood pasta had a bit of sand in it, the tuna steak was overcooked instead of seared, the paccheri with swordfish and eggplant was practically tasteless, and the grilled meat was so-so. Maybe it was just the tiredness of the Christmas holidays...

23/12/2025: An unforgettable culinary experience. I had the pleasure of returning to this family-run restaurant and can only confirm what I said a few years ago. The atmosphere is meticulously designed, making you feel at ease. The staff is extremely friendly and professional. The menu is extensive and well-researched. Each course is prepared with fresh, high-quality ingredients. The flavors are balanced in preparation, with a presentation that demonstrates great care, sophistication, and passion for cooking. A wide selection of wines is recommended by Pino, sommelier and owner of the restaurant, who will guide you with expertise and friendliness in choosing wines, creating perfect pairings to enhance every flavor. Excellent value for money. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for an authentic and refined gastronomic experience or a pizza cooked in one of the two wood-fired ovens, with the added bonus of a direct sea view.

27/11/2025: Best clam and squid linguine pasta i have ever eaten anywhere.

23/08/2025: We had dinner in 7 waiting time almost an hour... for the pizza the dough was good but not enough toppings... peppered mussels and good seafood salad... fried fish mediocre!

11/01/2026: Terrible experience... fried perch... mushy, raw fried artichokes... too raw... greasy grilled lamb, roast potatoes floating in oil, sausage appetizer, cheese and marinated courgettes... and an indecipherable jam... the only thing that was decent was the potato and porcini croquette, even if it was burnt on one side... all for €74... the staff, better not to comment on the son who, after playing with the dog, brought bread and various dishes to the tables. We ate in shifts because they couldn't get 2 dishes to arrive at the same time, and the location: green tablecloths with pink stain covers full of holes and torn chairs covered with bows, cold environment... it was the only one open on Lake Vico... too bad

03/01/2026: It's always like being at home...the food is always excellent, we love the location just the way it is. Like Alessandro, who spoils and pampers us.

04/01/2026: We went for coffee at the top flight in Cosenza. I must say that the day was very mild. We sat outside and called the waiter, who told us that service outside was not possible because it was cold. What a shame, this bar should never be eliminated again. The waiters are unpleasant and very rude.

02/01/2026: Very good local desserts. Fresh pastries. Customer-friendly service and prices.

18/12/2025: Exceptional pizza and a very welcoming atmosphere. Light dough and super-fresh ingredients. Friendly and always smiling staff. A guarantee!

18/12/2025: I discovered Serpente Rosso through a friend named Luigi Sarubbi. The decor and staff are top-notch, and the service is incredibly friendly from start to finish. The owner is also very friendly. We had a wonderful meal at what I consider a reasonable price for a fine dining restaurant. I highly recommend it to anyone in the area. I can't wait to return soon. Now we can travel better!

06/11/2025: Excellent sandwiches, very kind owner. Decent aperitif, good croissants. 💫 Wines around €3.50

13/07/2025: Simple bar, friendly owner ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

03/01/2026: When looking for a place to stay, even for just one night, you want to find the best for a relaxing, worry-free vacation. Start with the PROS and CONS. For this B&B, I found only PROS: the location, the cleanliness, the SUPER breakfast, and last but not least: the friendliness, hospitality, and attentiveness of the owners Vincenzo and Mascia, from booking to checkout. Highly recommended!

08/10/2025: A charming B&B, from the sea-view room to the outdoor spaces. Impeccable cleanliness and maid service. Super large and spacious bathroom and shower. Very comfortable bed. Breakfast room with windows surrounded by greenery and breakfast with all branded products. Convenient on-site parking and car charging. Congratulations, I'll be back!

11/08/2025: Excellent fish-based first courses, the linguine with clams is a must-try!

09/08/2025: Unpretentious, mediocre street-front location, poorly maintained, food from a menu with per-course prices typical of a respectable restaurant. Unfortunately, what we ate didn't reflect its value at all. Nothing fresh was present, and the products were defrosted, as stated on the menu, lacking flavor or culinary expertise. A steep bill for bland dishes.

09/12/2025: Everything was fine, the staff were very friendly. The breakfast was really good.

20/09/2025: Unfortunately, the room hadn't been cleaned. There was dust on the tables, and in the bathroom there was a used bar of soap, contact lenses and dental floss in the wastebasket, and mosquito larvae in the toilet. Overall, the rooms are apparently neglected and old. Breakfast is good but limited, and the hours are limited. At the end of the day, when we returned, mosquitoes were in the room; I imagine they entered during cleaning.
