We had paccheri with fish and grigliata di pesce. I recommend the pasta, the grigliata could be better

every dish in this restaurant created with frozen fish, although when you enter the restaurant fresh fish are on display.... if it takes more than 5 minutes to chew a calamari ring, this tells you the fish was frozen. When the gamberi crumbles in your...fingers while removing the shell, the fish is frozen. The polipo salad was like eating rocks, and the tuna steak was like eating the sole of a shoe... Not to mention the rock you feel in your stomach 24 hrs after eating here: a party of 15 all felt stomach pain the day afterMore

Slightly more expensive than the average Italian restaurant but well worth it. Very friendly restaurant with some excellent food. Complimenti a cuoci!

My wife and I were hungry and it was after 2, so we were rather desperate for some place to eat. We have driven by this restaurant many times, but it sets down low and the curtains were always drawn, it seemed. Well, on this...day we ventured down those steps and looked in and it was a nice white-tablecloth place. The staff were super friendly, and we had a new dish: spaghetti carbonara con pesce. It was excellent, and we went back for it two more times. They also have a nice frizzante and other local wines from Start I, in LA Mezia Terms.More

On the Main Street of Fallerna Marina in Calabria you descend a few steps to this lovely little place.Very popular with locals and tourists so you need to book . We didn't but were able to get an outside seat at an early evening slot....The menu was all fish and I had blue fin tuna which was soooo fresh and served with a lovely salad. The waitress spoke good English which is always a help and she gave good useful advice. In this region this restaurant stood out as being a little special. Would recommend and I'll return.More

I was vacationing in the area and walked in in this restaurant for dinner with my partner. It was my first time visiting and wanted to tried it out. At the entrance I was rudely stopped by a waiter and told that all tables were...reserved, although the place was empty at the time (9pm). As far as I am concerned it was not a very professional way to welcome people and even though I read good reviews of good food I don't think I would be comfortable eating here.More

Great food, excellent service, always full ( make sure you make a reservation). I have tried almost everything on their menu and it's all excellent quality, great for a special occasion or a quiet night out.

We were a group of 8 adults for dinner. By far it is the best fresh fish meal I have eaten on my trip. We order a seafood appetizer that never ended as our meal. The smoked swordfish was excellent. The presentation was beautiful. The...assorted appetizers were followed by more fish. There was no need to order a pasta or pizza. Our meal was follows by desserts. The lemon cream sorbet and pistachio ricotta cake were excellent. The ambiance and service were excellent. Sill we sat there again ? YES!More

If you are passing through Lamezia Terme you Need to make your way to Falerna to enjoy truly delicious and well prepared seafood! Grilled or on pasta this restaurant is excellent! There are no restaurants in the actual city that serve this quality.
