Had the Calabrian dinner evening. The &#39;nduja and fried foods were pretty good. A decent meal, though the pacing between courses felt a bit slow.

The swordfish rag&ugrave; pasta was the best part. Got it during a quick lunch, came out fast.

This little out of the way restaurant was such a great surprise! I highly recommend taking the drive to have an amazing meal!! I ate there twice and had macaroni and sausage the first night with fresh made tiramisu. The second night I had a pizza and it was the BEST pizza I&rsquo;ve ever had! The staff is wonderful and the owner is a true delight!!! There is true passion in the food that is served! I can&rsquo;t recommend enough!!! Please go!!

The soy milk was a nice surprise, honestly. The croissants were buttery and flaky, perfect with it. Just a really relaxed, easy morning.

Great place with great food and atmosphere! One of my fav places in Calabria

We were thrilled with the overall experience of Donna Nela. The waiter helped us pick a great bottle of wine (we even brought one to take home!). The food was lush and great value. Lovely pasta, meats and cheeses.

Solid lunch spot. Food comes out quick, which is key for me. Ingredients taste fresh, and you can tell they put care into the dishes. Decent wine list too. Good value for the quality.

Great to see whole-wheat pizza and lactose-free cheese on the menu. The craft beer was a nice touch too.

The staff were so friendly and spoke English, which was a lifesaver for us tourists. Our food came out super quick, perfect for when you&#39;re just catching up with friends and don&#39;t want a long wait. 😊

Nice spot for a quiet dinner. The lighting and decor create a relaxed, upscale vibe. Good for a business meal or catching up. Service was efficient, didn&#39;t feel rushed.

Had the pasta with swordfish sauce. It was pretty good, fresh and well-made. The grilled tuna was also fine. The menu is concise, just a few fish options. A solid choice for a simple dinner.

The service was spot-on. Our server knew the wine list inside out and suggested a fantastic pairing for the pasta. Made the whole evening flow so smoothly.

The lobster linguine was so good we were all sharing bites! 😋 Perfect for a fun dinner with friends.

Such a friendly spot near Lamezia airport! The owners made our group feel so welcome. Perfect for a quick catch-up before a flight.

The staff here really knows their stuff. I was asking about the wine pairings, and the server gave me a quick, confident rundown. It was helpful without being pushy.

The Calabrian wine pairings really stood out. They matched each course perfectly, especially with the local seafood. Service was relaxed but never slow. Just a nice flow to the whole meal.

The food comes out fast even when it&#39;s packed. Everything tastes fresh.

Coffee was top notch, really strong and smooth. The croissant was flaky and buttery, perfect with it. A solid spot for a quick breakfast.

The sandwiches are really good and so filling. The dippers were a nice touch. They&rsquo;ve got a solid beer list to match.

Their pizza dough is the real deal. Light, crispy, and perfectly leavened every time I&#39;ve been. Toppings are always fresh and well-chosen. Just a solid, reliable spot for a slice.

Ricotta and pear cake was fresh, well-balanced. Iced coffee was good. Both were exactly what I needed for a quick afternoon break. Service was prompt.

Nice spot for a business dinner. The traditional Calabrian dishes were pretty good, and the staff was friendly. A bit on the quiet side for our group, but we had a pleasant time.

The evening sandwiches are the real draw here. The bread is fresh and crusty, the cured meats are top-notch. That&#39;s what I come for. The bar selection is fine, but it&#39;s the food that keeps me coming back.

The seafood scialatielli was fantastic, really fresh and the pasta had a great texture. The beef was cooked just right, quality cut. A bit on the pricey side, but the food delivered.

The spaghetti with clams was perfect, so fresh. The fried anchovies too. That licorice liqueur at the end? A really nice touch, not something you see everywhere.

Stopped by this pastry shop near the Gizzeria Lido beach. The pistachio croissant was the star - flaky, with a rich, not-too-sweet filling. The coffee was just okay, a bit weak for my taste. Nice spot for a quick bite.

The family has run this place for over a century. You can really feel that history in the cozy, old-school dining room.
