I migliori ristoranti di cucina pesce in Calabria

19/11/2025: Very disappointing: I went to this restaurant, which is so widely promoted on social media as excellent, but the reality is very different from what they want people to believe. Aside from the nice and welcoming location and the kind staff, the rest is very poor. Dishes with little flavor and unbalanced seasoning/gross errors of concept (such as the tuna tartare, therefore a crudité, placed under the hot pasta, thus losing all its peculiarities, or the baked potatoes that tasted only of garlic, inedible, never seen anything like it), etc. etc. Not to mention the prices, such as the second course (I attach a photo) swordfish, 4 small pieces with a little orange and fennel, 25 euros 😳 when in the best restaurants it doesn't cost more than 18/19 euros, or the octopus, 3 micro pieces over 26 euros. That said, 4 first courses, 3 second courses, a side dish, and only 2 bottles of water came to €205. For €250, I've eaten in much better restaurants, especially those with more courses. I'm sure they'll tell me I'm wrong and that they've had a lot of positive reviews. I wonder how that's possible, given the low quality of the food.

03/11/2025: Good quality food, service too, prices not exactly cheap but not very expensive either, shame about the decor which definitely needs modernizing, but we were told that there is already a renovation project and it is definitely worth it.

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.

19/08/2025: What a great find!! Nothing to complain about, the fish was really good. Large portions and lots of fish. It's a shame about the location and the wait for a table.

15/10/2025: An excellent culinary experience, enhanced by the incredibly friendly and welcoming staff, especially the owner, Palmino, who made us feel right at home, even though it was our first time here for lunch. A splendid seaside spot that I recommend to anyone seeking a blend of quality and beauty. Thank you! And see you soon! Your cuisine is absolutely innovative and superb!

03/10/2025: It's October, rough seas. We found this seaside restaurant welcoming and excellent food. I recommend the lobster and fried fish.

07/09/2025: Great service, very good pizza. Even though I arrived a little before opening, the older gentleman invited me in without any problem. Very nice place.

24/08/2025: This restaurant is near our hotel...we had a great time...the atmosphere is friendly...the food is excellent...tonight we're back for the third time in a few days...we highly recommend it. Teresa and Antonio

20/10/2025: We came for lunch, and I must say the girl who served us was very kind and friendly, as well as giving great advice. You absolutely have to try the first course: spaghetti with clams and pesto! Truly delicious!! 😍 Or the authentic Roman carbonara! ❤️

11/10/2025: Exceptional pizza, light dough and excellent quality ingredients, fast and very friendly service.

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.

24/10/2025: I have eaten there on several occasions and I must say that it makes good food and an excellent pizza 🍕 for my tastes! Approved

21/10/2025: We recently visited this place. The mussels were excellent...the seafood scialatielli were delicious...the desserts were also good. Perhaps I would have served the octopus in a concave dish and with a thicker mashed potato. The waiters were very friendly, helpful, and kind. The prices were perhaps a little high...overall, a positive experience. I recommend this place.

25/09/2025: Great value for money!!! Despite the end of the season, friendly welcome and top-notch cooked products!!! I would like to see it in season with the fish market full!!!!

02/09/2025: We had a wonderful meal. A must-visit if we return to Tortora or Praia a Mare. Highly recommended.

30/09/2025: We ate very well, the pizzas were excellent, however I took off a star for the tiramisu which was frozen and I found out once it arrived on the table... a bit disappointing for a restaurant in Italy

28/09/2025: Excellent fish, convenient location for receptions, even of a certain size.

07/11/2025: It's located inside the Conad supermarket, on the first floor. A good canteen with a variety of options.

20/09/2025: Clean environment, menu updated daily. I've been a customer for years now, and I particularly enjoy lunch at this restaurant, where all the staff, especially Ida, are professional.

02/11/2025: Unfortunately, our experience was disappointing. The food was completely bland and tasteless — honestly something worse than terrible. The atmosphere felt like a wedding hall, with no warmth or character, and during our meal The Simpsons were playing loudly on the TV, which totally ruined the mood. The service was fairly good, but not enough to save the experience. The prices were outrageously high for the quality offered. I honestly wonder how there can be so many positive reviews — or if there’s something I’m missing.

28/09/2025: I have been there and continue to go.... I have celebrated my wedding promise, baptism, my daughter's first birthday and many other occasions and have always had a great time.

06/09/2025: The restaurant looks good, with ample level parking and indoor and outdoor spaces. The terrace is ventilated by two ceiling fans, and the indoor dining area is cooled by two split units and a column cooler. Service is very quick. The pizza dough is decidedly thin. What I didn't like was the lack of clarity on the menu: if the menu says the Margherita DOC pizza is only made with buffalo mozzarella, why add regular mozzarella? From the pictures, however, I can see that the cuisine is very varied, so I'll revise this review if I try other dishes and find them appealing.

14/08/2025: The food was pretty good, but the service was terrible. There were so many people and so few staff. There was only one person taking orders, but the most absurd thing was having to wait over 20 minutes at the cash register for someone to pay.

06/10/2025: Very nice place, friendly and fast service. The prices are a drawback.

10/06/2025: professionalism - fresh products - zero kilometers - joy and serenity

09/09/2025: Delicious local food, a family-run atmosphere with very friendly staff ready to accommodate every need. Compared to all the exorbitant prices you hear about at Lido Gelsomino, the prices are more than affordable. It will be my vacation spot again next year.

22/08/2025: Nice beach with everything you need. The fish isn't fresh; everything tastes the same. Poor value for money.

22/06/2025: Great place to spend an evening enjoying both great pizza and delicious cuisine.

18/05/2025: Great place with delicious food
