I migliori ristoranti di cucina pizza e pasta in Calabria

03/10/2025: I planned an afternoon in Pizzo (a very pretty town) and after careful research on restaurants, I decided to book at "La Ruota." It was a perfect choice. The location gets top marks—very beautiful, unique, and welcoming. The food was delicious. We ordered the "La Ruota" appetizer, tagliatelle with pistachio pesto and shrimp, and fried calamari. Fresh ingredients and generous portions. Very friendly staff. We'll definitely be back.

25/09/2025: The tiramisu here is absolutely the best I’ve ever tried — fresh, light, creamy, and full of flavor. 🍰✨ Seafood dishes are decent and nicely prepared, with a characteristic seaweed-like taste that not everyone may enjoy. 🌊 Overall, a pleasant dining experience with a good atmosphere. 🍴 With greetings from Latvia 🇱🇻 📍 @SkyGarden_Studio (luxury apartments in Jūrmala 🌊)

07/03/2025: Excellent food, friendly service. Very nice atmosphere.

15/09/2025: What a disappointment. I've been coming here every year for the past six years to eat raw crab and pasta. I've always asked for it to be cleaned in the kitchen, which has always been done. This year, I was given pasta with sauce and crab on the side, without claws or anything else. I asked for it to be cleaned, and the ashtray brought it back with broken claws, saying it was buckets of junk. Too bad the entire body without claws was inedible. I also pointed this out on the bill, where the replies weren't any better. In short, I won't be coming back. However, I found out from Mimmo later that I'd been snubbing him for years.

14/09/2025: I have to leave a wonderful review!!! In welcome and inimitable hospitality!!!! We thank you for the food you prepared with passion!! We were unable to go back but we thank all of you and the owner!! Fantastic. Greetings from Gina Davide and Pri, from Turin!!!

10/09/2025: Amazing food and service. We loved it so much we went twice during our vacation. Will definitely go again when we return to Gioiosa.

02/09/2025: Amazing food and great atmosphere . Was in staying in the town a few weeks ago and went here more than once . Great place

05/10/2025: A nice place, in keeping with its setting. I expected more from the food, especially the mushroom starters. However, the delicious stew will be remembered. The service is honestly lacking: slow, inattentive, and perhaps impractical...

28/09/2025: Unfortunately, if you don't book you'll be left in the lurch.

23/09/2025: The pizzas are meticulously prepared and flavorful. The staff is friendly. The price is fair for the quality. Recommended.

22/09/2025: Excellent pizza (Neapolitan dough). A bit of a wait, but the place was packed. Fair prices, polite staff.

06/09/2025: Very good things and very kind staff

28/08/2025: Excellent value for money. The pizzas and arancini are delicious and reasonably priced. You can dine in the spacious indoor or outdoor area, at no extra charge.

30/09/2025: I'm at home now!! A truly excellent place, especially convenient before the Reggio Calabria exit, spacious, very kind and helpful staff... extensive menus of meat and fish that are truly delicious... on a trip to Sicily, highly recommended for breakfast, lunch or dinner💪

23/09/2025: Beautiful experience, excellent food, kind and attentive staff.

10/10/2025: This was close to where I was staying, so we went twice. The food was excellent. The new owners have redone the place and the appearance is very pleasing. There is almost always a party or wedding on weekends, which adds to the festive atmosphere. I had the seafood, and the pizza. Both were done to perfection.

19/09/2025: What a wonderful place in the South! We came for a family event, and from first glance, it seemed like a charming place. This impression was confirmed immediately when we were greeted. The entire staff is always helpful and attentive, which made us feel truly welcome. We enjoyed pizza and fries, simple choices that allowed us to appreciate the excellent cuisine. The fries were truly delicious! They are very organized, and there's a pleasant sound that alerts the staff when an order is ready. This is a level of service I've never seen anywhere else.

03/08/2025: Simply wonderful, elegant, and welcoming. The mixed fried fish and pizza were delicious. Impeccable service; the waiters and waitresses were very kind, courteous, and fast. Perfect value for money! I recommend this place to everyone! ❤️

09/06/2025: The cold cuts appetizer was really really great. The service was always impeccable. I liked the pizza a little less because I felt it wasn't very tasty but it was certainly due to the excessive saltiness of the cold cuts. Unique in some respects in the area.

07/08/2025: A great pizzeria, excellent qualified staff, excellent ingredients, excellent welcome that Luca, Mariarosa give you making you feel at home, in short a great pizzeria for which I invite those who have not yet been there to go because you will truly find a paradise for your palate

24/08/2025: Very nice place, high-quality food, generous portions, and very friendly staff. The quality of the fresh fish is excellent.

24/08/2025: We visited this restaurant-pizzeria the other evening: an overall mixed experience. The pizza is truly excellent: light, well-leavened, and very digestible dough, with fresh, quality ingredients that are noticeable from the first bite. Truly one of the best pizzas in the area. Unfortunately, the service doesn't live up to the cuisine. We arrived at 8:35 PM, but our order wasn't taken until 9:10 PM, and in the meantime, we watched waiters serve customers who arrived after us. Our pizzas were finally brought to us at 9:50 PM: a long and frustrating wait that partially ruined the enjoyment of the evening. I understand the restaurant is busy, but serving a table after an hour and 15 minutes of waiting isn't fair, especially since customers who arrived later had dined much earlier. A real shame: with better service, it would be a restaurant worthy of a full 5-star rating, but this way, despite the excellent pizza, the experience is severely compromised.

05/09/2025: Excellent restaurant, the food is good and the price is average, recommended.

19/08/2025: The food is excellent, the service is excellent, and the staff is courteous and professional. Highly recommended.

07/10/2025: A very good restaurant with very good fresh products! The wine is very good, the service is quality and the setting is really pretty. I recommend it and I will come back.

24/09/2025: We ordered an Aperol Spritz and they brought us another brand that looked more like Campari, since my wife doesn't drink it. They mixed it with a very good wine, it must be said, but it wasn't. I told them twice that it wasn't Aperol. The French fry mix was a 7/10. They never brought us the ketchup/mayo we asked for with the fries. The truth is, we were happy and left with a bitter taste in our mouths... we would have eaten a pizza anywhere with water and not spent almost 70 euros on a terrible experience...

04/10/2025: Very central location and good rooms Decent breakfast

30/09/2025: Perfect location, newly renovated room, friendly staff, Riviera-style hospitality. Perfect, highly recommended.
