I migliori ristoranti di cucina mediterranea in Cosenza

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

03/02/2026: Nice, professional, and welcoming people. Everything was excellent, including value for money.

22/02/2026: Really good pizza, friendly and helpful staff. I always enjoy going there! Excellent value for money! It's very busy even during the week. I highly recommend it.

19/11/2025: The restaurant is quite large, also suitable for receptions. The staff is always friendly and welcoming. During our visits, we often choose the platter, which offers generous portions for two. The pizza is also excellent. Prices are good value. On busy evenings, reservations are recommended.

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

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.

20/03/2026: It's always been a great experience. Their pizza is truly excellent, and now they even have a new oven.

09/02/2026: Really nice place, very kind staff, they were really quick to bring the appetizers and first courses, the thing that impressed me most was the risotto alla pescatore really good, it's a marinated fish dish. We will definitely be back.

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

14/12/2025: Excellent pizza dough, ample parking, friendly staff

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

25/01/2026: I usually never open pizzas before getting home, today I did it as soon as I ordered, I opened the first one and maybe they forgot the toppings, really small and not very topped, when I got home I tried them they were really awful like a hard shoe sole, not risen on mine I had asked for the addition of a little spicy oil, but maybe the pizza chef wanted to joke and put the whole jar in really inedible I don't think I will ever recommend this pizzeria, I used to come here often when I was little but now it's really awful

24/01/2026: I always enjoy returning to Il Corsaro restaurant in Scalea. The pizzas are exceptional, and the cuisine offers excellent first and second courses. The owner, Gianluca, and his wife are cheerful and very friendly, creating a relaxed, family atmosphere. The ideal place for a quiet evening with good food. Highly recommended!

08/03/2026: Today, March 8, 2026, two people for €59.50. Nice place and decent service. The problem? The price and quality of the food. €19 for 6 bruschettas, embarrassing to say the least. Ten paccheri that tasted only of salt, and a scialatiello so raw that if thrown at someone's head, it would have caused a brain injury. I understand that these are the costs these days, and if you decide to go out for lunch, you have to take that into account. But absolutely not like this. I repeat, €19 for 6 bruschettas.

11/01/2026: Takeout mixed fried fish for me: calamari, shrimp, and a few octopus. I've attached a photo. Minimum quantity, maximum price: €20. Shrimp soaked in oil and with a dry, stringy texture, not juicy. Too much salt. First and last time, goodbye.

06/03/2026: Hazelnut and cloud croissants.... Pure spectacle

05/03/2026: Excellent place, whether for an aperitif with friends or for hosting an event. Well done!

08/02/2026: A wonderful place located right on Lake Vico. The restaurant is beautiful and quiet, and the staff is very friendly. They let us leave our motorcycle helmets in a safe place so we could take a stroll along the lake. They brought us two huge plates of pasta because, according to the owner, "you only ordered that one and it seemed too small." Both were delicious. We'll definitely be back!

24/01/2026: Welcoming atmosphere, friendly and helpful staff. Good quality local cuisine. Magnificent location on Lake Vico. Good value. Recommended.

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.

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!
