Top 10 restaurants in Reggio Calabria, Italy
Perhaps you're in town simply to catch a ferry to Sicily. If you can, though, try to take a later boat so you can explore Reggio di Calabria. The Lungomare road is a spectacular seaside walk. And the Bronzi di Riace, ancient Greek bronze statues discovered in the early 1970s, are worth seeking out at the Museo Nazionale della Magna Grecia.

We travelled on the local train to Pellaro from Reggio do Calabria. We arrived rather disbelieving that there could be a sensational eating place only to be totally amazed by what we found .... Behind a plain facade a very sophisticated restaurant worthy of London or New York but without any pretentiousness and much better value. Everything was immaculate . The food was some of the most memrorable we have ever eaten. All local fish. All zingingly fresh. The presentation of the food was superb. Flavour combinations were exciting and successful . The wine was equally excellent. The service could not have been better. The husband and wife team are perfect WOW ... What a meal!
Immediately booked for Saturday night!
We're this place in London or Rome you would wait six months for a reservation .
What a find!!!
There is a passion here for excellence, a love of food and wine and a desire to give a wonderful experience...this is rare in the modern world!
An oasis!
Seek it out!
You will be rewarded with some sensational food!

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.

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.

The antipasti kept coming and was lovely. Be carefull that you don't eat too much, because there are three other courses to follow: pasta, carne/pesce and ofcourse dolce. For dessert I got three pieces of pie. I would have loved to eat them all completely, but I unfortunately had no room left.

I'm from Germany and we found this place casuality on Tripadvicer..We just had dinner last night at Mr. Döner with some friends and I didn't expect that the meat would be that good.
I ordered the Greco with extra spicy salsa. I liked the meat and the salad and also the varity of salsas are a nice idea, but the only "negtive" thing was the bread. The bread didn't convince me tht much and also my friends not!! In Germany where the Döner was invented they do it with Pide (turkish bread) and they toast the bread before they fill it up with the meat and this makes the difference in my opinion. If the bread was toasted it would have tasted much much better...maybe you can just try to toast the bread before and than put the meat :)
However the place is hygenic, we liked the meat and the staff is very nice!!
We will come back soon :)
