I migliori ristoranti di cucina pizza e pasta in Calabria

21/06/2025: Average place, good pizza. The problem is the service. Only one person, also physically unfit, who goes back and forth between the kitchen and about twenty tables. Biblical waiting times. Bring a crossword puzzle. I'll add that no one in the place smiles, even a fake one. It almost seems like those who come in for dinner...are a pain in the ass. ....last but not least....a cumulative receipt...where you don't understand what you paid for and why. NEVER AGAIN

06/09/2025: The property is surrounded by greenery. The staff is friendly. Excellent food. Kudos to Oxanna and Enrico, who pampered us with their professionalism and masterful kindness. The chef is exceptional. A heartfelt thank you to all the staff, they made us feel like guests, not tourists. The entertainment was great.

05/09/2025: Beautiful, well-organized resort with a swimming pool, restaurant/pizzeria, kids' club, minimarket, and an amphitheater with evening entertainment. The sea is stunning, and the Arco Magno beach is just a 10-minute drive away. I especially recommend it for those with young children and teenagers.

28/08/2025: Pizza Without Infamy and Without Praise

19/08/2025: We were passing through Amendolara and stopped for a pizza. The smiling, inexperienced girls directed us to sit outside. The pizza was large, thin, and slightly crispy. It was well-risen and topped with the right toppings. The dough had risen well, but we found it a little salty.

18/08/2025: We dined outside the Vecchio Granaio in the heart of Tropea, in a simple, homey atmosphere that immediately made us feel at ease. The staff was truly kind, attentive, and thoughtful, with Antonella, who runs the place, always welcoming and helpful. The pizzas perfectly matched our tastes: made with excellent local ingredients, crispy, and not Neapolitan-style, just how we like it. My son chose the pizza with tuna and Tropea onions, which was delicious, while I had an omelette, which was extremely tasty and well-prepared. My companions were also delighted with their choices. The wait times were just right for a restaurant, without excessive waiting, and the bill was fair: everything was within the norm. A place that showcases local flavors and is definitely worth a visit for those seeking authenticity and quality in Tropea.

16/08/2025: We were in this place on August 15th, we ordered 4 pizzas, what can I say, non-existent service, poor quality pizzas... the only good thing was the Fanta.

11/06/2025: Very friendly staff, super clean place

23/07/2025: Business trip. One night stay. Minimal room with a rather uncomfortable bed. Breakfast definitely needs reconsidering, scant and lacking in salt.

20/09/2024: il locale è molto bello, con giardinetto privato !, la pizza è mediamente buona, il bordo non collima col centro, lo lasci tutto, ma.... il cibo non va bene, calamari fritti non congelati ma congelatissimi, io esperto li ho visti da lontano e non ne ho assaggiati, i miei amici non esperti si, e la notte gli han fatto pure male, mi dico..... se non ne avete, dite semplicemente....: stasera non c'è questa pietanza, è molto semplice !!!

20/09/2024: nice place, but the cuisine leaves much to be desired

27/08/2025: I Gesaroni in Marina di Gioiosa Ionica is a must-visit for anyone who loves good pizza. The dough is light, fragrant, and always well-risen, topped with fresh, top-quality ingredients that truly make all the difference. The restaurant is welcoming and well-maintained, ideal for both a dinner with friends and an evening with family. The staff is friendly and attentive, always ready to make guests feel at home. Every time I return, I find the same passion and authentic flavor that make this pizzeria one of the best in the area.

22/08/2025: I've only been there once, and I'm sorry, but it will be the last!! We arrived around 9 PM and ordered almost immediately: three pizzas and fries to share. The fries arrived in a few minutes (not the best I've had, but not the worst either), but the pizzas took over an hour and a half!! They arrived after several requests to the waiters around 10:45 PM... I only ate half because by then I wasn't even in the mood, not to mention that it wasn't the best I've had either!! My personal advice: if you can't keep up with all the requests, either reduce the seating and takeout, or hire more staff!!

02/06/2025: Excellent quality pizza! Perfect cooking, fragrance, aroma and genuine flavor!

11/04/2025: Quality, authenticity and decades of experience

05/09/2025: No attention to customers. Rudeness from the moment we sat down (we had a reservation). They forgot to bring my plate, claiming the pizza would be served after the appetizers... probably the appetizers from another table, since everyone at mine had finished their main courses, too. When I pointed this out, I was verbally attacked. Terrible in every way, high prices, and subpar dishes.

04/09/2025: After asking a couple of people here in Diamante for recommendations, and both of them recommended this restaurant, we decided to go for lunch. As soon as we sat down, the waiter (also the owner) asked us what we wanted, and when we pointed to the seafood risotto, he cleverly pointed out that the risotto would take at least 40 minutes... so we decided to order two appetizers as well. The mixed seafood appetizer was really good, but the mussels with pepper sauce were inedible, no matter how much pepper was on them. But when the risottos arrived, we realized they weren't the ones we'd ordered, but rather two porcini mushroom risottos! When we pointed out the mistake, they apologized and said they'd remake the seafood risotto right away! What? It didn't take 40 minutes? The only truly nice person was the guy's father, who didn't know what to say to apologize. But since our train was leaving in 30 minutes, we decided to have the mushroom risotto, even though my girlfriend really hated it. When it came to the bill, to apologize for what had happened, they took... guess what? A full €2! I'm not saying they should have given them to us, but at least they should have only charged us for one... right?

20/07/2025: Since the new management, the quality of food and service has been top notch.

13/07/2025: For my first time there, I tried the classic Margherita pizza, and it was delicious, well-cooked, soft, and full of mozzarella. While I was waiting, considering it was Saturday, I saw some pasta dishes pass by, which looked good. I recommend the pizza for the cooked dishes. As soon as I get back and try them, I'll be sure to review them. Overall, everything was good and affordable, highly recommended.

04/09/2025: Everything was average, but the pasta and potatoes were delicious. Friendly service. Prices were a bit high.

24/08/2025: Maybe it wasn't the right evening... First, we asked for draft beer: it ran out. We settled for a bottle, because the second request never arrived. A mussels stew with pepper, where the bland and undercooked mussels were floating in a watery liquid devoid of any flavor, not even a drizzle of oil, garlic, or any other seasonings. The pepper was definitely added generously afterward (after the dish was cooked, before serving). The seafood cuoppo consisted only of fried anchovies and three small pieces of frozen cod with the skin still attached. Unfortunately, I was expecting a real seafood cuoppo... you know, that cone-shaped package that usually contains, as the name suggests, fried morsels of various fish, cod, octopus, calamari, shrimp, and not just anchovies!!! It would have been enough to write it on the menu or say it out loud. We added French fries to the order, because other types were also sold out. But were the ketchup and mayonnaise all out? Finally, the pizzas. Luckily, they were good. The outdoor setting was lovely, and the staff at the tables were friendly. An unsatisfactory experience.

19/07/2025: Outdoor seating, cool and breezy, excellent pizza, tender and tasty. The staff is incredibly kind and welcoming. Maurizio is a wonderful person; we've always had a great time. We've been coming here for two years now, even in the winter, and I can tell you the atmosphere on the waterfront with the outdoor heater is even more beautiful. I recommend trying it. Pierluigi and I are very satisfied, and Maurizio and I have developed a beautiful friendship.

12/07/2025: Terrible organization... endless waits because the pizzas don't arrive in the order ordered.

04/05/2025: Consigliatoci dalla titolare del b&b in cui abbiamo alloggiato è stato perfetto ! Certamente anche senza alcuna raccomandazione sia le portate che il servizio sono stati eccellenti.....Complimenti! l'accoglienza calabrese è quanto di meglio si possa elogiare da queste parti..

07/04/2025: Locale molto buono, con interessante menù di carne e di pesce. Siamo stati molto bene e, malgrado fosse affollato, il servizio è stato efficiente e veloce.

27/08/2025: We rented an umbrella and enjoyed the beach. Beautiful quiet experience.

27/08/2025: Booked via phone then arrived and they didn’t have our reservation booked in the booklet/ system. Sat and waited for food for over 1.5 hours and did not receive any complementary bread / nibble while we’re waiting for our main dish. Main dish (Pizza) are were under cooked, clammy/ raw dough. Seafood Linguine arrived cold poor service from staff Manager did seem to bother or help and passed us back to the waiter.
