I migliori ristoranti di cucina pizza e pasta in Calabria

08/08/2025: Top seafood covatelli. Pizza Fofò TOP.

05/06/2025: I wrote a review with a low rating because I was disappointed that they brought an incomprehensible "salad" instead of fried vegetables... But my admiration for the owner of the restaurant, her ability to quickly fix the situation! And of course 5. We left full and happy. Delicious and varied food. The staff is friendly.

21/08/2025: The service is poor, the waiters are unsympathetic, the food is average, and the prices are quite high for the quality of the place. The real surprise at the register—unfortunately, I only noticed it when I was already far away—was that the receipt they gave us wasn't a tax receipt, but a "preliminary bill" with the words "Please come home to collect the receipt," a typical system used by tax evaders. For someone like me who has always paid and continues to pay full taxes, it's a real insult. Never again. Shame.

18/08/2025: We had dinner on Sunday evening with friends. The location was welcoming and well-maintained, the pizza was good, but the seafood spaghetti was undercooked and lacking in sauce. The wait staff was friendly but unprofessional.

08/08/2025: A great experience to try the pizza. We had fried fish, mussels with peppers, and cruschi peppers. Everything was delicious. The staff was also available to recommend dishes and quantities. The price was fair.

03/08/2025: Excellent pizzeria, very welcome

26/08/2025: We had dinner, enjoying innovative options and a few well-prepared dishes. The octopus served at room temperature with lemon mayonnaise was excellent, and the shellfish paccheri with burrata cream was very tasty. After the appetizer and first courses, we didn't try the second courses because the portions were so generous. The pizzas also looked lovely. The restaurant is also suitable for families.

20/08/2025: We ate fish, very good food, generous portions, good service

25/08/2025: Prices are a little high but that's the common trend in all restaurants after Covid and Putin's invasion of Ukraine

24/08/2025: Nice place on the Trebisacce seafront. Good food with excellent presentation, but service could be improved.

29/04/2025: Beautiful views while drinking cappuccino!

29/08/2025: I was there last night for the first time and I'm going back again tonight because the fried food is excellent and the service is very attentive and helpful... mussels tonight...

29/08/2025: We had a amazing seafood experience and a lovely evening in Laterna Rossa. The menu was discussed in advance and probably not the standard a la carte but just talk to the owner and maybe there is something special to surprise you. A bit rustic and feels like a very authentic Italian experience. Thank you for the perfect evening!

14/06/2025: One of the best pizzas I've had in Italy, thin, well-made, and with a masterful blend of ingredients. The staff was also very attentive and the atmosphere was great.

25/05/2025: Very thin and light dough.....the pizza is not very seasoned but it is good....and it doesn't weigh you down at all

27/07/2025: What can I say? The pizza is excellent, the place is small but quiet, and the price is more than fair.

24/06/2025: Unfortunately, I find myself having to express a negative consideration related to the organization of the service, despite the quality of the pizza being, in my opinion, very good. It happened to me several times to make a reservation for a specific time and, upon my arrival, find the pizza still not ready. I understood that this choice is probably dictated by the fear that some reservations may be untrue or that customers do not show up, which is why the staff waits for the physical presence of the customer before starting the preparation. However, this approach nullifies the very meaning of the reservation. If an agreed time still corresponds to a significant wait, the service loses effectiveness, especially for those, like me, who have limited time related to work or personal commitments. Even showing up without a reservation, the minimum wait found is almost always about half an hour. Considering that in the same area there are other pizzerias with shorter waiting times, I chose, reluctantly, to look elsewhere, even though I appreciate the product offered. Furthermore, I have noticed that very often, even just to buy a simple rotisserie product without having to wait a long time, it happens to find the counter almost completely empty. In my opinion, the production of these items is quantitatively insufficient and tends to run out too soon, leaving many customers dissatisfied. I believe that an improvement in the management of reservations, waiting times and the offer at the counter can give this pizzeria an important competitive advantage, enhancing the quality of the product which, I repeat, is of an excellent level. RESPONSE TO THE PLACE: I am sincerely sorry if my review has affected you negatively. It was not my intention to offend or gratuitously criticize your work, but simply to share the point of view of a customer who had a less positive experience than expected. I always write rather detailed reviews, for better or for worse, because I am a precise person and I believe that feedback - when it is constructive - can be a useful tool for improvement. In my specific case, I have never belittled the quality of your products, which I have actually appreciated. The problem I highlighted concerns the waiting times, which remain excessive even when there is a reservation, so much so that it is difficult for me to return to you with serenity. I fully understand that quality requires time and attention, and I absolutely do not question the value of your work. However, I believe that respecting the waiting times communicated to the customer is an integral part of the experience and the service offered. I would also like to point out that my reviews are not exclusively critical: I have written numerous extremely positive reviews when the service was up to par. I am therefore sorry that you have chosen to focus only on the less favorable ones to defend yourself, instead of taking the opportunity to listen and, perhaps, reflect on what can be improved. I sincerely wish you good work and hope that you can welcome criticism with greater openness, without taking it personally, but as an opportunity for growth. Kind regards.

20/04/2025: I confirm that the pizza at Gemelli is the best I have ever eaten. Very kind staff, excellent quality raw materials and super convenient. Highly recommended

14/06/2025: Average pizza and prices, not bad place. Friendly staff. Recommended.

25/05/2025: Appetizer to lick the plate we will return for everything....I highly recommend it

21/07/2025: Fonte Mare restaurant with convenient free parking next door + reserved restaurant parking. Beautiful beach nearby. Simple, good food. Friendly and welcoming owner.

21/07/2025: I'm giving it 2 stars for the kindness and attentiveness of the 16-year-old who welcomed us and took our order. It's a unique location, where you can watch a breathtaking sunset with the Rocchetta di Briatico in front, perhaps while enjoying an excellent pizza. Unfortunately, the last part of what would be a perfect description falls short given the poor quality of the pizza. The dough was white and almost undercooked, and overall, the pizza tasted like a frozen one. It's a shame, considering the location! I hope they can offer better pizza in the future!

22/08/2025: I ate a pizza which I liked, friendly staff, nice location, ugly toilet

07/08/2025: We had a great time. Excellent pasta and pizza, just steps from the historic center of San Giovanni in Fiore. Friendly staff. Highly recommended.

27/08/2025: I had a great time. There were two of us who arrived for dinner without a reservation, so we were allowed to choose a table. Pleasant service, well-managed by young staff who made our choices easy. The dishes were generously portioned and well-presented, with flavors that we found to be very pleasant. The bill was what I expected and in line with restaurants on the Tyrrhenian coast.

26/08/2025: A restaurant on the highway, very large but old and ugly, stuck firmly in the '80s and '90s, but with a beautiful and spacious outdoor terrace. The second star is solely due to the kindness and friendliness of the truly professional wait staff. The food... a veil of shame. I've never tasted a worse pizza in my life: burnt, with subpar toppings. One diner's fried baby octopus was not good, but cold, dry, and tough. I would not recommend this place under any circumstances.
