I migliori ristoranti di cucina pizza e pasta in Calabria

31/10/2025: Craving an aperitivo, I found myself there—unfortunately, I might add. The gentlemen, then, acted as if we weren't there; they brought us two bruschettas with cherry tomatoes and an open sardine (the garnish was from a can, most likely from the sardine itself) on a single plate. The spritzes, which were also hand-carried and without a tray, came to €8 each (if I'd gone to Milan's central station, I'd have spent less). The two-star atmosphere honestly reminds me of a kebab shop, which, judging by the plastic chairs and tables filthy with leftovers and insects, takes me back to the golden days of when I was a youngster after an incredible evening. PS: They won't give you a receipt even if you pay a fortune.

19/10/2025: Excellent service and fresh and delicious food 😋. Perfect customer service and a very lovely chef 👩‍🍳 👌 Highly recommended 👌 👍🏻 👏 💯

12/10/2025: Horrible experience. We went for dinner and were very hungry, we were said we have to wait for pizza for about 30 mins, so we decided to order fries to eat smthg before the pizzas will be ready. The fries came after the pizza, we said we don’t want them anymore since it’s already too late and asked to cut the pizza into slices. The blond waiter said that fries are already prepared and she will not take them back, and in this case to cut pizza will take her 10 mins ( she knew we were waiting for the order more than 30 mins, and we are hungry and we would just eat those fries). This looked really ugly and she spoiled the mood to all of us. At the bar after complaints they removed the fries from the bill, but there was a big bottle of water on the bill that they put on the table without even asking us ( we didn’t order). They spoiled our evening.

19/09/2025: Stunning location, with a wonderful sea view. I had a truly wonderful dinner, immersed in a serene and relaxing atmosphere. The pizza was truly excellent, the service was quick, and the waiters were kind and efficient. Nothing to complain about, an experience that tastes of Reggio and the sea. P.S. If you find a knife in the plant, it's mine ❤️

16/09/2025: I'm only reviewing the food since I stopped in for a quick lunch. Service was quick; my dish arrived about 3 minutes after ordering. I had a caprese salad and a Nastro beer. I would have expected a slightly larger portion than the caprese, given that it cost me €10. Still, it was good. The tomato sauce was plain. A fairly light dish. You can sit down after 3:00 PM, since I arrived a few minutes late. Coffee included. All for €14.

03/09/2025: A good bar, with excellent coffees and cocktails.

24/08/2025: You should just be ashamed!!!!! We ordered 4 zeppole, two eggplant fritters, a capricciosa pizza, and a beef burger sandwich, cheddar salad and bacon (I had the mayonnaise and ketchup removed which were listed on the menu), a large water and a Moretti beer.... we had to pay 21 euros... at the cashier we paid 24.50... they increased the sandwich from 5 to 8 euros and the pizza from 4.50 to 5 euros... when I complained that on the downloaded PDF menu and on the one hanging on the wall outside there was a different price, they replied that it was old and needed to be updated.... it's a shame that those who were Calabrian and paid before us had paid the price that was written everywhere. If you are on holiday in Locri and therefore you are not Calabrian, do not go to Poldo, you could have unpleasant surprises because the price suddenly changes... I would have paid you not only the 3 euros more... since I am on holiday I do not care about the euro ...but for the fooling, take someone else. Shame.

23/08/2025: I don't recommend it. The prices displayed both on the sign outside and those you scan with the code aren't real. When you go to pay, you end up with a different amount. I ask for information on the bill and am told the prices are up to date. I hope law enforcement does its job and checks out these scammers who inflate prices without updating the menu. Being fooled like this is truly shameful.

14/09/2025: The atmosphere is not bad, we ordered a traditional Neapolitan pizza, it turned out that it was baked not in the oven but in the oven and was half raw. Even the Italians who were leaving asked if we liked it and said that the pizza was terrible. The waiters are quite unfriendly

26/08/2025: Good bar, but could become excellent with improved service... given its perfect location in the heart of Santa Lucia.

21/09/2025: I've had lunch twice at this restaurant with its enchanting view. I was on vacation with friends and would have returned several times given the quality of the food and the tranquility of the place, but we were mocked for tactical menu changes like, "Oh! We don't have this seafood appetizer (20 euros) today, but if you want, I'll bring you octopus and marinated anchovies." They didn't specify that they become two separate dishes, and you pay 20 euros for two tentacles and 20 euros for 8 anchovies. So your seafood appetizer becomes a starred appetizer for 40 euros. The receipt never arrived. We were wrong not to ask for anything at the time, but we were on a happy, carefree vacation and only later realized we'd been a bit ripped off.

18/09/2025: The location alone is worth it...not recommended...the price is too high for the quality of the food offered. Not recommended.

04/10/2025: Poor and sad aperitif. 2 Aperol spritzes were colored water accompanied by a bowl of crisps and that's it, €15 and without a receipt, we definitely won't be back and I recommend hiring a real bartender who knows how to mix.

02/10/2025: Rude, unprofessional, expensive

04/10/2025: The most expensive pizza by the slice in southern Italy. The person serving at the counter, who should be at least polite and kind, is instead incredibly rude. Many of my friends stop going there because of him. If someone were to ask a question... Highly not recommended!

31/05/2025: We asked for pizza with salami, and instead in the bag - pizza margherita ... 4 slices paid €20 ... instead of napkins - baking paper 🫣 But are we in Milan? At Corso Mazzini further on we got pizzas €2.50 per slice and above all with the requested flavor without having to wait

13/10/2025: Terrible experience! My only consolation is that I'm not the only one. I just saw the reviews, but they've been overwhelmingly negative for at least five years. How they manage to stay open remains a mystery. I ordered two sandwiches, two arancini, and a can of coke for €37. The receipt only showed the total, so the individual prices were a bit of a guess. The owner was gloomy, to say the least, and offered no explanation. The place has many outdoor tables, but don't you dare change the layout, it's "absolutely forbidden." And don't be fooled by the message "bathroom out of order." They only allow customers to use it. I clearly heard the electric lock operated by the girl behind the counter. If you can, avoid! Luckily, not all Tropea residents are like this. Message for the owners: CLOSE

06/10/2025: Embarrassing toast, prices not displayed. Tourist trap, simply embarrassing...
