Reviewed By Giulia P - Brooklyn
We have have visited here on numerous occasions and have never been disappointed. The reinvented dishes of the region's "cucina tipica" are superb. Fresh, local seafood prepared in a variety of ways - raw, steamed, baked, etc. - is always excellent. The traditional, refined, and upscale surroundings added to our experience. The owner and wait staff are warm, welcoming, and always professional. Whenever we visit the Ionian coast of Calabria, a visit to Gambero Rosso is an absolute must!

This is a true find!! The chef grows his own vegetables in his sunny Italian garden then creates amazing dishes, depending on the vegetables in season and creative ambitions that day. He serves so much food, antipasti, not sure who would be able to eat the next courses, homemade pasta and meat. This is crazy, amazing good food in a really cute, spotlessly clean restaurant.
Does not offer pizza in the day, but I'm told it's to die for in the evening in the wood fired oven.
Best, absolute best food I had in Calabria! I must try, especially if you want a true Italian, Calabrian experience. The view from the tow Martone are fantastic!,

Our hotel owner suggested this restaurant and we were happy that he did. It was close to our B & B Pellicano and the food was excellent. Don't miss the suggested appetizer to share. The waitress kept bringing several different dishes, each one better than the next. She also suggested an excellent Calabrian wine to compliment our dinner.
4. Ristorante "Do' Priuri"
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 228 reviews
Il ristorante "Do'Priuri" nasce nel Marzo del 2001, quando la famiglia Pelle alias "Priuri" decide sia arrivato il momento di ingrandire la piccola attività situata al centro del Paese. Nonostante fosse situato in un paese interno, di non facile raggiungimento ,il locale è diventato uno dei punti fermi della cucina tradizionale della provincia di Reggio Calabria, attirando non solo la clientela regionale , ma anche nazionale ed internazionale. I pezzi forti del nostro menù ,oltre all'antipasto "Dò Priuri", sono I Maccheroni filati a mano col sugo di capra, le polpette di maiale , le melanzane m'buttunate,il capretto al forno,le nostre grigliate di maiale (allevati da noi) e infine il gelato vero e proprio fiore all'occhiello tra le nostre produzioni. Il locale sorge sui ruderi di un antico oleificio ,molto particolare, si dispone su 3 piani ed è composto da tante micro-salette , e con terrazzo vista mare da un lato e montagne dall'altro. Vi aspettiamo.

Fantastic Calabrese cuisine, and a great atmosphere. Try to get a table outside on the patio in the summer. Don't get there too early ... ideally arrive at 9 or 10 pm to get in the place when it's in full swing!

Pizza and vegan and vegetarian cooking
Reviewed By Chouwa D - Markham, Ontario, Canada
We first tripped over this restaurant by mistake. It was a Saturday, it was raining and the previous restaurant we went to only took Reservations. We noticed a big sign "Pizzeria, Ristorante Vegetariano Mandalri" a vegetarian restaurant in Calabria is rare, as we are mostly vegetarian we ventured in. The youthful looking waiter looked at us, asked if we had Reservations, we told him we did not and he apologized - saying they were fully booked. Our tears mixed with the rain falling from our wet heads. The point is make Reservations on the weekends.
But the story does not end there. In our travels by foot through the town we once again ended up at the Pizzeria Mandalari. This time it was an off hour on a Tuesday, the restaurants door was partially open - we peaked in, the kitchen had activity but the dining room lights were off. Too bad, closed. We saw a small grocery store across the street with a poster for a vegetarian restaurant. Upon closer inspection we note it is for the restaurant Mandelari, a man pokes his head out of the store and asks us if we want lunch. He saw us looking in the restaurant, he asks if we want pizza. My wife and I both declare that is exactly what we want. O.K he says come with me. We cross the street once more, enter the restaurant and we are treated to what is probably the best vegetarian pizza I have ever experienced. Simply mouth watering delicious. There were many other items on the menu but as the kitchen was not fully open pizza with seasonal vegetables as the toppings and great regional cheese was all that was made available to us.
The owner, Johnny chatted with us and made us feel welcome. He played music, jazz, setting the perfect ambience and poured a half carafe of Calabrese red wine. The wine was excellent. Upon completing our meal we were treated to a home made aperitif, a digestive that was delicious. What an incredible experience, we are very appreciative of Pizzeria Mandalari and chef Johnny for taking such good care of us.
We will do our best to come back and to spread the word to all our friends in Calabria and abroad. Grazie per tutti.

Living here in Siderno have had the pleasure of eating here quite a few times, every time the food is excellent and in season, he prepares the dishes (Calabrian) like his Grandmother would have done. Olives and dried Tomatoes etc., are from the family farms and he and family make them all. When visiting here you are also entertained by him, and if lucky his sister who is a lovely singer,and a few locals, great enjoyable night.
