If I could give a 10 out of 5 ,I would.This restaurant was fully booked on a Tuesday night with Italians.Luckily we got the only English speaking waiter who was our best friend during the evening. The food was absolutely wonderful.The local wine and liqueurs were smooth and health giving.My husband said he could die now a happy man.We took photos of the food.Go there.It is in the cleanest village in Italy.You must book for a reservation early in the evening.All the Italians eat later.

The food was great (upfront we did not know what we would get, we just said give us something local for antipasta, primi and secondi). The atmosfeer was amazing, very local and simple but way better than other fancy restaurants and restauranta in hotels. Very nice hosts.

Always packed in the evenings - with local holiday makers and locals. This place is the real deal: well cooked local food, prepared using fresh local ingredients, and served with a smile. We have holidayed down the road from La Notte a couple of times and we always eat here a few times. You can have a quiet relaxed lunch, or a lively fun evening meal. Book in the evenings as you will need to wait for a table otherwise. Their pizzas are epic, and their fish is all spankingly fresh and delicious. It is very reasonably priced and is the pick of the local restaurants. Highly recommended.

My boyfriend and I traveled throughout Italy for about 12 days before heading to Coccorino to meet up with some friends from home. The food we had throughout the various regions of Italy was mediocre at best. Our friends, who were raised in Coccorino, took us to Da Mercurio the first night we were there. WOW! Finally, we had the Italian food we came all the way from Chicago to eat! The atmosphere for this restaurant is exactly what how you imagine an Italian restaurant to be. It is an open air eating area that provides a nice evening breeze from the sea. Mercurio came from the kitchen (which you can see from the eating area) and greeted us as though he had known us forever. We felt very welcomed in his place, even though two of us didn't speak the language. I was wanting to try fried zucchini flowers since arriving in Italy but most of the places we went to didn't have them on the menu. Our friend told this to Mercurio and he brought us some on the house...they were amazing! Our friend ordered several dishes for us, each one better than the last. My overall favorite pasta dish of his was the spaghetti and clams...the fresh parsley on top finishes the dish off perfectly. This was the first meal my boyfriend and I were stuffed from eating! We didn't want to stop eating because everything was so good! Of course we ate here a couple more times during our stay. The second time we ate there, they were cooking pizza on the outdoor pizza oven. Anyone will be able to find a pizza that fits their taste. After having two bottles of wine, water, 3 appetizers, 2 pizzas, 2 pasta dishes, and dessert for 5 adults and 1 child, the bill was just over $100! Incredible prices for the quality of food you receive. Mercurio sat with us and gave us 2 shots of his homemade lemoncello...wow...that was potent and great! During the day, we would see Mercurio and his son at the beach and they would go out of their way to say hi to us and made us feel so welcomed during our stay there. Unlike the touristy parts of Italy, this area doesn't have restaurants on every corner. There is great signage to direct you to Mercurio's. If you are anywhere near Tropea, Coccorino, or any of the other small towns in southern Italy, this gold mine is a definite MUST! You will not be disappointed! Oh, and try to tartufo ice cream to finish off dinner!

It s a beautiful place with 3 friendly dogs (who stay outside), 3 donkeys, 3 horses, a bunch of geese, rabbits, chickens, vineyard, fruit orchard and vegetable garden. We went half hour before opening time for lunch. We were treated very nicely. Times have changed. They are now capable of handling huge crowd efficiently. It is 2019. We had about 60 other high school students and their half a dozen teachers dining with us yet we got our food on time. Fresh lemon water, a huge plate of antipasti with fish and salad (we do not eat meat), mussels in a fantastically rich and yummy tomato-cream-wine sauce, plate full of linguine with sea food, an even more delicious fish gratin including cover charge was 37 Euro for two of us. I would recommend this place to everyone. We are staying a in a beautiful Airbnb in Brattiro and the owners recommended this place to us. Plenty of parking s well.

We visited this place twice during our stay in Capo Vaticano and were very pleased. The setting is nice (especially if seated outside, the inside feels a bit industrial) and the service is very professionnal. You feel that the waiters here have their job as a career choice rather than a summer job. We had a few favourites among the dishes: the raw prawn starter was excellent, so was the tasting plate of red onions. The lamb chops were very disappointing, however the entrecôte (yes, I'm sorry after three weeks of seafood I wanted a change...) was one of the best I've ever had and the red wine we had with it was excellent too (28 eur Quattro something...). Really enjoyed this place and found it to be good value.Dear Guest,Thank you so much for your beautiful review on the Trip Advisor.I am delighted to know that your experience at La Bussola restaurant was so good. Your feedback means a lot to us.I am glad to read that every element of the restaurant was able to contribute in creating a memorable day experience for you. We are sorry if the lamb chops was not tasty for you.I hope to see you againBest regards from all of us

First of all the don't have printed menu's. It was difficult to order because they don't speak english very good.At the end they made a medium price of 25 euro/person, very expensive because we were 13 persons. And what we took didn't worth this amount of money. Sword fish was ok, sea bass tooFried calamary and shrimps weren't so good, too well done.Potatoes were fried in the same oil with the fish. Cozze (Mussles) were ok.The gave bruscheti and limoncello for free.Serving was poor.You can stay only outside, very small space inside.They have parking for clients in the back.

I have been to Capo Vaticano about five times now, but unfortunately never knew about this restaurant. Great food, great atmosphere and good service. We are coming back this Friday again. The portions are not really big, but the quality is magnificent. The prices are really fair as well.So far the best place we discovered in the Capo Vaticano area.

Staying at a villa across the street, we went over one evening 'just to eat a bit'. We were overwhelmed! The best Italian food and hospitality ever!Our Italian language skills are not too good (to say the least); immediately one of the staff that seems to speak almost every European language was made our host for the evening.Than came the food. We are reasonably spoiled food-lovers; Agriturismo Seaview blew us away. SUPER delicious food, priced so low, beyond imagination!If you are somewhere in the area, you should definitely go over and enjoy!By the way; the view from the terrace is probably one of the best in Calabria

We were here for three times. Every visit we've ordered pizza... everytime it was very good, especially I would recommend a capricciosa. The staff is friendly, but what we did not like is a slow staff. It took 10minutes when they noticed you need something, then took ten minutes when you received a bill, then took 10minutes until you got money back.. when you get a bill, check the line "pane" - "bread" it costs 3euro, also when you did not order it and did not received it... every visit. I think that if we had not better cooking restaurant in nearby, we would not return...
