I migliori ristoranti di cucina pesce in Calabria

20/09/2025: Entering this historic restaurant in Paola is like coming home; in fact, it's like discovering a home you didn't know you'd always been looking for. Every detail—from the white paint to the antique beams, from the long wooden "nave" that seems to tell family stories to the impressive aquarium with live lobsters—expresses a love of the sea and hospitality. Here, you're not just a customer: you're welcomed with genuine warmth. Chef Emilio is a master of seafood: each dish is a symphony of freshness and expertly balanced flavors. The seafood specialties are varied and always surprising; it's clear that each recipe is born of experience, passion, and respect for the ingredients. The fine wines selected further enhance the dishes, and the pizzas—yes, even the pizzas—are prepared with care and flavor. And the homemade desserts? A perfect conclusion that will remain in your heart. The family-run business of Carmelina, Emanuele, and the young Niccolò creates an intimate and authentic atmosphere: they manage everything with discretion, professionalism, and a warmth rarely found. The waiters are extremely kind, attentive, and never intrusive: their smiles complete an already extraordinary experience. The pride of a family that has transformed a restaurant into a place of celebration and memory is evident. The space is magnificent and versatile: the large capacity and the dramatic wooden nave make it perfect for weddings and anniversaries, those evenings where you want to share beauty with loved ones. The entrance, with its touches reminiscent of a London home—the doormat, the discreet ashtray for smokers—and the statue of San Francesco di Paola across the street, contribute to creating a unique, almost timeless atmosphere. I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart: for the excellent food, for the sincere welcome, and for creating a space where every visit becomes a precious memory. You have cultivated not just a restaurant, but a place of the soul. I have been a customer for years with immense pleasure and will recommend it to anyone who wants a genuine, warm, and unforgettable experience. With gratitude and respect, Marcello Scarpelli, "a grateful customer"!

19/09/2025: Kindness and professionalism. Excellent cuisine, many delicacies.

02/11/2025: They give away a free focaccia!

28/08/2025: Beautiful and with quality food

13/11/2025: We came for dinner on the recommendation of our hotel. We have no regrets. Everything was wonderful. For a starter, we had a seafood salad and local fish. For second courses, we had tuna tagliate and swordfish roulades. We also had a bottle of excellent white wine. Alessandro, who served us, was top-notch. We will definitely be back.

06/11/2025: Peppered tasteless mussels... mussels just opened and served

25/08/2025: Good food and very helpful manager

15/08/2025: The food is good. The waitress is very good and friendly. The place is nice.

30/08/2025: Small restaurant in the historic alleys of Catanzaro, few tables, intimate atmosphere, really good (fish) dishes, a truly pleasant discovery

30/08/2025: Small, poorly maintained space, cheap, convenience-world furnishings, banal table settings. The ingredients, though high-quality, aren't prepared properly for the asking price. The tuna tataki, obviously with supermarket-quality mayonnaise and teriyaki sauce, personally, seems unworthy for tuna.

19/10/2025: I went there for pizza. There were 4 of us, and we ordered 4 pizzas, 2 of them the same. Two fried calamari and drinks. Delicious, well-cooked, risen pizzas. The calamari were fresh and tender. And lots of people were ordering takeout pizzas... so good they are. I've never seen so many people anywhere. Nice, clean place. The waiter was very kind, fast, and polite. Clean bathroom. I highly recommend it 😊

05/10/2025: We had Trebisacce soup and sea bass for dinner, then pizza the next evening. Everything was excellent and refined! Impeccable flavor, highly recommended.

18/11/2025: Everything is good, from the pizza to the desserts.

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.

08/09/2025: A welcoming place with a sea view that alone is worth the visit. But the real surprise was the quality of the food and the friendliness of the staff. We ordered an appetizer and a pizza: everything was truly excellent, but the pizza was a revelation. In all my years, I've never eaten anything so good: crispy, light, and super digestible. The service was impeccable, with kind and helpful staff who made you feel at home. The prices were very fair for such high quality. We'll definitely be back! Kudos to the entire staff!

15/08/2025: Unspeakable, they don't take anything away, they make mistakes, burnt food, slow service with no tomorrow. But above all, after an endless service, THEY TURN OFF THE AIR CONDITIONING to send you away. Yes, in my exact words: We have to close.

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.

14/11/2025: Local products showcased in a contemporary way. Extraordinary location overlooking Tropea Castle. The added bonus: Franco!!! A trip to Tropea wouldn't be the same without Pimm's; it was a fantastic experience!!!

11/11/2025: Top quality and good value for money. Super friendly owner. Don't miss it!

14/09/2025: Beautiful space for receptions. Several levels, well maintained and with sea views.

03/09/2025: Stunning location, good food, and a friendly and kind owner. Four of us went for dinner, and even though it was dark, the view was beautiful because the moonlight illuminated the sea and you could see Sicily lit up. We walked down the stairs to the sea. Truly stunning! And it will definitely be the best for ceremonies.

10/11/2025: A very nice family restaurant serving local dishes. Delicious and fresh pasta and fish. Friendly owners. We've been back twice!

08/11/2025: The food was delicious! The service is best! A busines family, very warm and frendley. I recomand you: do not mis this restaurant! Is an autentic and exceptional food!

05/11/2025: We went to this restaurant for my daughter's vows, we had a really good time, the food was delicious, congratulations.

04/10/2025: Very nice atmosphere. Very good, fresh food. Large selection of dishes. Fresh fish. Very friendly and accommodating staff.

17/07/2025: Pizza veramente buona con ingredienti secondo eccellenti. Tempi di attesa nella media. I prezzi sono alti marapporto qualita prezzi ci sta. Da provare

20/06/2025: Pizza excellente accueil parfait. Nous y sommes retournés à deux reprises, tellement les pizzas étaient bonnes. L’accueil a été chaleureux. Les discussions entre nous également. Adresse à visiter absolument

09/08/2025: Family atmosphere; Excellent and tried-and-tested seafood menu; good pizza. It's essential to ask for fresh fish... obviously, it's cooked to perfection!! Fantastic summer cuisine when the restaurant moves to Lido Acquatica (still in Roccelletta, but on the seafront); open for lunch and dinner!!!!

03/07/2025: Excellent cuisine. Always full even at lunch. On the old route of the 106 just outside the Catanzaro Lido junction. No difficulty with parking. Never had pizza. Good quality appetizers and fish dishes. Not exactly cheap if you opt for branded bottled wine (good Calabrian wines, rosés). If you want to invite some guests or for some occasion. In the summer months it moves to the nearby beach.
