It's so unusual to find a place where you can relax yourself in August in Scalea, it's crowded every where, however we were sure to find a nice atmosphere in this restaurant we usually go during the summer. The location is stylish and the atmosphere always lively, the service fast and nice. The food is always fresh, both fish and meat, I love the dessert most of all because they are based on the Calabria tradition. We spent a lovely night, thanks.Grazie :)

This is a family run business. The owner welcomes you with open arms, he is charismatic and genuinely wants you to have a great night. He will chat to you, cook for you and sing to you. His son is also charming. The food is very good (like most places in San Nicola) but we go more for the atmosphere. Highly recommended.

My wife and I ate dinner here twice during our weeklong stay in town. Both meals were excellent in terms of taste, value and service. Calabria style tends to be homestyle cooking, rather than multi-layered haute cuisine. Fresh ingredients make every dish superb. Fresh grilled fish, pasta, and "Kipos antipasti" were all excellent. Kipos Seems to be one of the few restaurants that doesn't list Pizza as a main specialty. Serviced by Luca, with a smile and fluent English, made it a pleasure. We will be back!

This restaurant can be found on a sidestreet to the left of the main square in San Nicola. Let me start by saying it is beautifully appointed, quite intimate, very brightly lit, offers good service and the food is superb, if not a little expensive. What really lets this place down is the poor menu. This must be the smallest menu I have ever seen! If, like me, you are a picky eater, then this is not for you. From memory, there were 4 x 3 course set meals and 1 x 2 course set meal to choose from and very little on the "a la carte" page, To be fair, they did offer us something "off Menu" and the crisped potatoes were unique and deliciously different. In summary - if you eat anything and everything, this restaurant will not disappoint. If you like a great choice and enjoy trying different variations, then this establishment will probably not suffice.

This is probably the best pizza restaurant in the area. Make sure you have your reservation a day before, especially during the summer season. The pizza is great and the location too. Parking can be hard during high season. I would stick to the pizza menu in this place.Definitely recommend

Nestling in the hills above Scalea, La Rondinella is an agri-tourism restaurant that showcases the best of the local produce - their own smallholding included. It's a little hard to find, but worth the effort. It's immaculately clean. Staff are friendly, and the aimiable Italian chef also speaks English and German.There is one (unseen) set menu each day, which ranges from â¬18 pp to â¬30 pp, depending on what dishes and drinks are consumed. If you are a picky eater, this is probably not going to suit you. For a real "foodie", however, it's great to sit back, menu-less, and just experiment with dish after dish as it arrives. Our starters ran to almost a dozen little plates, which included locally-sourced olives, goat cheese, bread, snails, ham, salami, potatoes, tomatoes, and greens. My favourite was a firey red tapenade on homemade bread. Everything was beautifully cooked, and so fresh that it zinged with taste. Rustic fare, but excellent.We were extremely full after the starters, and had trouble choosing between the two pasta dishes on offer as "first main course". Chef solved this by serving small portions of both!After that, we seriously couldn't manage "second main course", and we also declined dessert. The waiter seemed a little crestfallen, so I relented, and said that we might be able to manage dessert, but only if it were very tiny. He was back a few minutes later, smiling happily, and bearing a big plate containg no less than eight desserts - all of them very tiny.At the end of the night, stuffed to bursting with high-quality local produce, we were surprised to find that the bill only came to â¬45 for the two of us. Fair enough, we're tee-total, so we stuck to fizzy water all night; but for the elegant surroundings, the quality of food, the efficiency and friendliness of service and (let's face it) the sheer volume of what we ate, this was an absolute bargain. We'll definitely be going back!

Atmospheric place, good, interesting food (not the usual tourist fare) good prices. They encourage you to share an antipasti if you like. The antipasti is like a mini buffet; it contained things that I had no idea what they were, but it was delicious!It's busy and the staff work hard, so best to book a table.There's one problem, they keep you waiting a long time for your bill (and there are people queuing outside to come in). One diner became a bit angry and stood up and insisted on paying at that moment at the till. The staff should understand that some diners may have an appointment like a bus to catch, or may have chronic pain (like me) so don't want to be kept sitting in a chair with limited room for 2 hours.

My friend and I rode our motorcycles all day and stopped at the hotel for the evening to find a wonderful restaurant on site with a beautiful pool, patio and well-kept grounds. We will return for a second ride this coming weekend with a group. Thank you for taking care of all our needs. The food was good, service was excellent, the staff was very hospitality, the atmosphere was very comfortable, very thing was exceptionally clean.

I have been here many, many times in the past. The food on those occasions was much better, especially the pasta. However, I have been here enough to see a steady decline in the quality and taste of the food. Today, I went again. This time it was beyond average. I had the fish (mixed platter) and wish I had not ordered this. I should have had some pasta. The mixed grill was a poor sampling of very "fishy" fish, not at all tasty. The shrimp was not cleaned, so, I had to devein it myself. I felt that for the price I should not have to deal with shrimp poop. It cost 10 euros for the appetizer fish dish, and another 15 euros for the mixed grill. This was definitely not worth it. This was "off season" (mid-March) so, there is no reason for any of the poor food...there were only the three of us, plus another couple. With those numbers, and so close to the sea, everything should have been excellent. It was not. I always enjoy coming to San Nicola Arcella for the beautiful rock, cave, and cliff formations and ocean views. In the past, I have enjoyed a nice lunch or dinner at this restaurant. However, next time I will go to the beach area, pack a lunch, look at the beautiful caves and ocean, and bypass this restaurant. There are so many other excellent choices in this area, especially for the price. Better yet, pack your own lunch and have the best seat in the house...AT THE BEACH. So, there is no reason to come here.
