Public beach, convenient access, but no fresh water, no infrastructure.

Pizzo is a small seaside town with historic buildings, a cozy beach, and many good restaurants. In high season, it can get crowded with tourists. Still, it’s a nice place to visit once for a few days. 🌊🏛️🍝 With greetings from Latvia 🇱🇻 📍 @SkyGarden_Studio (luxury apartments in Jūrmala 🌊)

Beautiful blue sea! Quiet beach. Warmer water due to cover. Limited free street parking. Cafes and restaurants.

We went in the off season, a few days before Easter. It was absolutely beautiful and just warm enough. Some shops were closed but we found a nice restaurant and had a wonderful meal then played on the beach. We will return.

Pizzo is an excellent place for holidays, currently sat on the piazza enjoying a snack from one of the many restaurants, the food is amazing, pure italian passion, i will return to this spot

A wonderful place to visit while in Calabria. The restaurant we ate at, SPQR, was fantastic. The food was piping hot & tasty & the service we received was outstanding. I highly recommend this place if visit here & your peckish.

Very cute town with major trash problem. Beach best viewed from above! The water had trash floating in it, it was so gross and smelly!

The sweet secret of tartufo, something you really need to try, don't miss it

Super nice cafe, every day we drink coffee and aperol at this place Service is good and drinks are delicious

Apparently this is the place to go to if you're in Pizzo for Tartufo. It didn't disappoint. The location in the piazza is perfect, with a great vantage point towards the sea and people watching. The tartufo was fantastic. Very rich. Our server was spot on.

Nice outdoor siting at the plaza. Good coffee and lovely Tartufo!

Amazing tartufo! We still remember the taste all this time later. A true delight. The owner is so friendly and greets you and graciously made me my own lactose free tartfufo after noticing I was the only one out of our large group not having one. So appreciated!

The original Tartufo from Pizzo Calabria. A must taste gelato concoction. Recommended by a Pizzo resident as the best. Original since 1968 - I believe. Good service. Don’t miss out on the legend!

Great tartufo, lovely place, fantastic people!! I planned to spend few days in Calabria and my first stop was in Pizzo where I personally really appreciated for the location and the services. Angela at Bar Ercole been just amazing - very smile and available.. she recommend the classic “tartufo” (homemade) and almond granita - deliziosi!! They are very closed to the seaside and historical city centre.. well recommend. See you soon guys

Very friendly staff and amazing exhibition. Many original artifacts that portray the history of Joachim Murat.

Personnel is incredibly rude. We arrived from another town to visit this castle and unfortunately it was closed from 1 till 3 pm (keep that in mind). We waited and when it finally opened, we couldn't buy tickets because cards were not accepted and the guy didn't have change. He was speaking very unfriendly and refused selling us tickets. After this communication, there was no wish to change and come back. Don't recommend for a visit.

You can find a very good story of Joachim Murat on it , very well illustrated The price is 5€ for adults You can see an amazing view from up there

the tour does not last long but there are several interesting and original (not copies) exhibits. Moreover, the view of the town from the walls is amazing.

Nicely preserved castle with a small museum inside. Definitely worth the entrance fee of 2.50 EUR. Great view over the harbour.

Not worth the 5€ entrance. Most signs were only in Italian with just a few in other languages. There wasn’t much to see except for the prison cells with a few creepy looking mannequins to portray Murat and the other prisoners. Would not recommend

Nice small Castel

Very nice church (5€ entry), nice sculptures, also great beach outside, with warm water and some fishes

Have to give it a 5 star rating just because of the story behind the church and in fact its position on the beach and built into the rocks. It is not your standard church visit but you get these sculptures all in the rocks behind the church facade. Read the story behind the church from the sign, which is In Italian and English, and you will get a better understanding of its history. It is a walk down and up again, so be prepared. It is only a 10 min visit to see it all. There is as an entry charge of 5€, which can be paid by card. It is a small price to pay to ensure it continues to exist. We had no problem parking as we are traveling on bicycles 😀.

Extremely interesting experience. This church - cave is located just next to the beach, so beautiful and magic to be there and hear the waves sounds.

Very interesting story behind this unusual church. Definitely worthy visiting. Impressive.

The current opening hours on Google are not correct. From November till March the church is only open on Saturdays and Sundays (see the attached picture) and only in the good weather. It might be something that's good to know in advance...

If you are in the obscure places to visit this one's for you. Very interesting shrine to the shipwrecked. Look for JFK and apparently Castro within the cast of characters.

Beautiful & very interesting place to visit. Parking at the top for €5 & a stunning view on the way down (lots of steps). I think the entrance fee of €5 per adult (€3 per child) is too much. Don't forget to take your swimming things & picnic with as there is a beautiful bay at the bottom to enjoy!

Best ice cream in Calabria! Maybe Italy? Amazing staff! Super friendly Lots of amazing flavours which change regularly! Really welcoming. A must visit if near Pizzo!

Absolutely loved this Gelateria! The staff were super friendly and welcoming. The gelato was absolutely delicious, full of flavor. Great service and a lovely atmosphere. Highly recommended!

Best ice cream in Italy! Sette veil is a firm favourite!! Also the Cornettos are very tasty too!

Very friendly and helpful. The Ambiente is wonderful and the Tartufo is super delicious

Don’t be fooled by the appearance of the treats. They probably use cheap ingredients. We tried three types of the so-called “Tartufo” and none of them were tasty. The ice cream, the chocolate – everything tasted off, even the pistachios were rancid. The female staff was also rude.

Simply put: a dream in the shape of a rounded ice cream. I stopped by en route to Capo Vaticano to taste their renowned tartufo in a lovely and quite garden. Loved the atmosphere, loved the tartufo, loved the friendly staff. I'll be back!

We came there 2times during the day. Location and garden are very nice. There were always some free spots at the table. We tasted the Tartufo, it was good, however not as tasty as we had in pizzo couple of days ago. Staff was fast and we didn't have to wait for a long time.

Wow. We both had a linguine dish and the flavours and textures were some of the best food we have had in Italy. It's a small and personal place and it shows in the food, made with love. Oh and it came we a bag full of rustic hot bread, win! A must for anyone visiting Pizzo.

We went few days ago (Jan 2024) they were very welcoming with everyone introducing the dishes of the day and giving advice. They treated everyone like part of their family and the Strocatura pasta was delicious! The local wine was delicious either. Also they gifted us with an amaro liquor shot and an espresso coffee at the end. Can’t wait to go there again as soon as possible. Thank you

Great little restaurant in center of Pizzo...When you seat there you look at main street but in quiet part... I eat there two times and always food was amazing and so delicious and taste... The chef make food excellent... Food is always really fresh... The seafood pasta is amazing and full of ingredients and sausage... They have few table inside and outside but always owner find you place... Price is really correct for food and drinks... The owner work everything and he is so kind and helpful... All recommendations for visit and eat something if you are in Pizzo and that part of Calabria

Good food, good quantity, lot of mussels and clams in the vongole spaguetti. 12 euros for spaguetti vongole, 10 euros lasagna, only 6 or 8 dishes in the menu but prepared at the moment. Nice guy . Nice terrace. They also have calzone to take away for 3 euros. Prices of drinks and food are in the photo i uploaded. Copperto i think they charged me around 1 euro

One of the biggest and best surprises in Calabria. This is trattoria not restaurant but the food was delicious and portions big. I took spaghetti with mule and wife spaghetti nduja and it was the biggest portion in Calabria and one of the best. Both dishes cost 16eur. 2 glasses of local white wine 3eur

The food was very authentic. The portion size of the melanzane pasta was very big. The waitress was wonderful and even though our Italian is very weak we managed very well. Whole staff was very nice and smiling. I definitely recommend this place if you wan't casual and tasty food.

One of the best pasta dishes ever tasted. The owner is very friendly and helpful. A hidden gem!

Great service and appetizing menue. Food was beautiful, but I'd ordered the grilled pork chop and it was under cooked on the inside.

We loved our linch here. Fileja frutti di mare and pizza parmigiana - one of the best lunches we ever had in Italy. And we travel here a lot, like… a lot. Yumm! 👌🏻the waiter dod not talk much but was very nice. Recommended 100%

We arrived early afternoon so probably the restaurant wasn’t fully working yet. The waiter took a long time to take our order. Dishes were lackluster and felt like was preparing in a rush. The location is golden: right at the heart of the town but quality didn’t seem to match it.

We popped in for lunch whilst on holiday and visited Pizzo. We chose this restaurant, the service and food was good and it's in a lovely location. The inside of the restaurant is beautiful too.

Went there end of September with 4 people. Not many guests. We ordered 4 Pizza, 2x 0,5l house wine and 1 bottle of water. Very nice view on the main piazza and mare. Service was fast and friendly. Wine was good and affordable with 5 euros/0,5L. Pizza was tasty and not overpriced. We paid at all ca. 50 Euros for 4 persons. That not too much for the main place in Pizzo. We would come again for pizza and house wine.

Celebrated with family for a 21st birthday. Thank you for making it special.

Got ignored for 20 mins by waiters and left - no one took our order

Beautiful situated on an outdoor terrace overlooking the Pizzo marina. Offering a wide ranging menu. Food: Pizzas were cooked to perfection with a variety of options to appease all tastebuds. Crispy crust with generous toppings. Service: Giorgio ensured our party was looked after. He checked in on us frequently, and brought the pizza chef for a meet and greet. Giorgio did not let us leave without trying Pizzos famous Tartufo which topped off the night. Atmosphere: Our party of 8 was conveniently located in the alfresco with ample room. Variety of seating options inside and out on the terrence. Forte fella Manocella is worth the stop over with breathtaking views.

what a wonderful place to visit and enjoy a meal. for the price of a reasonably priced meal you can enjoy one of the best views and atmospheres anywhere. try and visit as the sun is going down for obvious reasons. the restaurant owner, Emmanuella, chatted to us because my wife had ordered a simple off menu dish that she quite like the look of herself. she invited us to access the terrace paths that climb the cliff face and give a grand view of the resort and restaurant. wonderful gesture. the food was great too served well by Georgia an English speaking waiter, which isn't common in Calabria.

Seafood plates are quite small for the price paid however are very tasty and definitely to order. pizza is average and I suggest to avoid. This place is definitely chosen for it's outdoor seating and amazing view.

The food was good if a little overpriced compared to other restaurants in the area. The views from the roof balcony were stunning. The service on the other hand… considering there were only 2 couples as customers and there were at least 3 waiters… was poor. Is was a Monday hopefully other days the service gets better. UPDATE… what a difference a day (or two) make… decided to go again as the food is good. This time around the service was great.

Giorgio, you are great! The food was also very good, the location as well.

Known now as The Castle you simply cannot fault the location. Get there for sunset and you won't be disappointed. Get there when the clouds are rolling in and you won't be disappointed either. Food is good, service is okay but can be slow in busy periods and not quite as attentive but the view makes up for it

Very delicious food! The service, especially Giorgio, was excellent.

The greatest restaurant experience I‘ve ever had! We had 6 vegetarian courses and every meal was thought through and through and tasted amazing (I am still dreaming about the beans, truffle pasta and the dessert...). The cook asked if there’s anything we don’t like, which we really liked. The waitress also was really kind and attentive, always making sure we had everything we needed. And the place in general is beautiful! The view is amazing and we felt really comfortable and welcome. 10/10!

It was nice but not overwhelming. The first course was good, the second ok, main course and dessert were perfect. The service was kind and caring but not perfect. The restaurant is nice but we felt a little bit lost just another table with guests.

We chose San Domenico for our last evening here and it could not have been a better choice. We had the vegetarian degustation menu and even as someone who usually eats meat, it was amazing through and through. Each course was crafted with immense love and detail which was noticable with eye and tongue. Service was perfect, food was perfect - I'm still amazed a day later! What I liked especially was the indirect lighting on the outdoor terrace. It was a beautiful setting for an evening filled with good food and wine. We will absolutely come back!

An address to remember. Every plates were tasty and well presented. The delicacy of the flavors will stun you.

Fantastic experience. Incredibly friendly service and beautiful cooking. We loved the sea bass ravioli. The skin on the grouper was cooked to perfection, delightfully crispy. The ricotta was light and tasty! Would recommend.

wonderful service, wonderful food and wonderful atmosphere, after 2 weeks in pizzo, i think this is probably the best restaurant here. ate here on the last evening of our vacation and the only negative thing i can think of is not coming to this restaurant earlier. the truffle pasta was so good i almost cried (no, really). thank you so much and until the next time.

This was the best food experience I had during my two-week vacation in Pizzo! The food, the service & the atmosphere were more than perfect. I really enjoyed everything about this place. I can‘t wait to come back!!
