Excellent food especially pizza! The real McCoy! Food / meal was a bit salty for our taste buds…read more Service was excellent!! Ambiance was family friendly and outdoor seating was so lovely. I highly recommend this eatery!

This Restaurant was recommended to us by our hotel owner. He said it is the best in Cosenza. While…read morewe haven't been to all restaurants and trattorias of course, this was by far the one with the best service, atmosphere and food. We had no menu. Our waiter just brought everything to our table. We started with loads of Antipasti: Cheese, grilled vegetables, tomato salad, bread, potato tortillas (forgot the Italian name).... and we were already full. Then we got pasta and Vitello as secondi. We saw on other tables also fish but moved to dolci (ice cream, cake) directly. Food was accompanied by red wine and water. The best "il conto": 19€ per pax. You can't complain about that. To summarize it you get more then expected for your money and we already reserved a table for the next day!

We enjoyed our meal here very much. The antipasti sampler was great and plenty of food for two.

We also had some wine, 2/3 of a bottle to be exact, since they bring you the bottle (not house wine) to your table and only charge you for what you consumed.

This place is located in the ancient part of Cosenza. We walked from our Airbnb and enjoyed seeing…read morethe alleyways with Street art and the Duomo. The restaurant was easy to find with maps, and we were quickly seated outside (at about 9pm on a Sunday night). The view of the cobblestone plaza and apartments with terraces was so beautiful and charming. The staff at Calabria Bella didn't speak very much English at all, which made us happy. The place seemed to be full of locals enjoying a relaxing, beautiful, summer evening. We ordered a bottle of wine at the waiters recommendation and ended up with something crisp and white, not sweet, which is exactly what we'd hoped for. There were so many options, but some of the things we tried were the roast chicken, the gnocchi and the veal. The one hiccup was that we thought we were ordering scallops and ended up with veal, but that was totally the fault of us and our translating app, so we made do and all tried it- it was amazing even though we're not even fans of veal! We were definitely tourists since we spent a shorter amount of time seated than any of the locals, but we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and hope we didn't look too foolish to all the locals!

Came here as they were opening and the guy had just fired up the pizza oven. Friendly staff was…read moreable to take our order easily despite language barrier. The pizzas were pretty good and the salad made inside of a pizza crust was a cool take on a salad. We also ordered truffle eggs, but they were so greasy and rich it was a bit too much. Very clean and very fresh though. Was pretty happy with all of our dishes as everything was pretty good. I just wish the eggs hadn't been smothered in oil and were cooked more evenly. Pretty good place to stop in and eat at though in this area.
