beautiful place and very courteous staff helpful and kind excellent and fast service exceptional gluten-free pizza made by them not frozen the best I have ever eaten first choice ingredients everything of truly top quality even the normal pizza truly excellent. we will definitely return. highly recommended place
I was a little skeptical but it turned out to be an excellent pizzeria, soft and well-leavened dough, good choice of beers; with us there was a CELIAC and he ate one of the best gluten-free pizzas, compliments. Highly recommended.
I have been there several times with my husband. The food is excellent. The gluten-free pizza is delicious, the best I have ever tasted... the place is a bit dark but the food is excellent and the guys are very kind and smiling ☺️ I highly recommend it!!
Last week I was on vacation in Reggio again. I returned to this place to find out that the management has changed and they no longer offer gluten-free arancini.
A big disappointment and a negative note!!!
Obviously, being celiac, I couldn't eat anything.
Pizzeria located on the Roccella Jonica seafront, possibility to choose between various pizza doughs, cereal, charcoal, classic, gluten-free. We tried the one with cereal and charcoal dough, both good. Cost 3 pizzas 2 beers a water 2 fried €58 total.
I've been here a couple of times during the holidays because they do both gluten-free cuisine and pizza and as a celiac it's the best! the first time I was very pleased with the dishes, not too abundant, I would say just right, everything was very good and typical of the area, friendly staff, the second time I ordered the pizza and if it hadn't been for the waiting times it would have been top notch, really delicious!! Especially because it's hard to find a gluten-free pizza so similar to the one with gluten and with a high, soft edge! The restaurant offers the possibility of eating with "your feet in the sand" there are tables almost on the seashore, spectacular! Overall I recommend this place!
The Royal Reef, located in Reggio Calabria at the Circolo Velico, is a culinary experience that combines elegance, authentic flavors and a spectacular view of the Strait of Messina. The location is enchanting: dining with the sea just a few steps away and the scenery of the sunset reflecting on the water makes every moment unique and unforgettable.
The menu offers a curated selection of traditional Mediterranean dishes, with a strong emphasis on fresh fish and local ingredients. Don't miss the raw seafood, which stands out for its quality and freshness, and dishes such as tagliolini with sea urchins and 'nduja or bergamot risotto. I personally consumed a risotto with cuttlefish caciocavallo and a sprinkling of chocolate. It was MAGNIFICENT. I have never tried such a good risotto... each course is an explosion of flavours, presented with great attention to detail.
The service is impeccable: the staff is courteous, professional and always available to recommend the best wine and dish pairings. Another plus point is the attention to those with special dietary needs, such as gluten-free options, a sign of great care for the customer.
Prices vary, but the quality-price ratio is more than justified by the quality of the raw materials and the overall experience. It is the ideal place for a romantic dinner, a special evening or simply to indulge in a moment of gastronomic pleasure in a refined setting.
In conclusion, the Royal Reef is a true pearl of Reggio Calabria, where cuisine meets the beauty of the sea. An experience that certainly deserves to be lived. Highly recommended!

I had ice cream today and I have to say it is delicious. The staff is very kind and competent. They served me in a very short time. I am very satisfied. I recommend everyone to try it, even those who have celiac disease. Previously we had fresh cannoli that were delicious and for those who are celiac it is not something that is easily found around. Excellent choice.
I returned after many years away from Reggio, always delicious! The staff was very kind and friendly, helpful and friendly. Fast service and very attentive to allergies or intolerances, as at my table there was a lactose-free and a gluten-free. I will definitely return and with pleasure🫶🏽
I don‘t understand the good reviews this restaurant has. We went here because we were limited with the food choices in Scilla, due to my friend being gluten intolerant. The staff said we could order anything and they would accommodate us which was great. The staff was also very attentive (granted, we were the only people in the restaurant at 19:30 - which should have been a first warning for us). The food was unseasoned and very disappointing! My friend had the pistachio pesto with prawns that weren‘t cooked. Raw, still cold frozen prawns on pasta - it‘s disgusting! I ordered a calamari/prawn plate with chips and a side salad. The chips and fish weren‘t flavourful and 14€ was a bit much for that, but hey, I added some vinegar and pepper and it was edible. The slap in the face was the side salad: the yellow part of an ice berg salad on a plate - no dressing, no tomatoes, no olives or herbs, nothing! Just some cut up ice berg leaves (and not even the big green juicy leaves) for 4€!! Are you actually kidding me!? I laughed out loud when I saw that. Never have I had bad food served for the price in an establishment that otherwise makes a decent impression.
Absolutely delicious, including the gluten-free pasta option, and especially the seafood carbonara. Great value too. Friendly waiting staff, and the chef himself.
Excellent refreshment point.
Here you can also find a vast gluten-free choice, starting from the starter.
The super friendly and attentive staff, especially the waiter Nikola (I recommend with a k 🤣🤣), very nice, friendly and dynamic.
We stopped at this lovely restaurant for lunch and were truly satisfied. I in particular, as a celiac, always hope to find prepared staff and I must say that here I was able to eat in complete serenity. Attentive and scrupulous service, a wide range of choices on the menu and excellent food, I was finally able to eat exquisite fried fish with rice flour. The friendliness of the staff completes everything. I highly recommend.
This place is perfectly located in the middle of the city centre. The atmosphere is cozy and relaxed. You can try some of the best food in town with small bites, veggie, meat and Calabrian typical options. All is 100% gluten free. Great selection of wines too. I will definitely come back.
What can I say, fantastic fried food and super fresh fish at more than fair prices. Particular attention should be paid to those with celiac disease, who have the same choices as others who eat gluten. Very kind staff, as well as very nice. Highly recommended for anyone who intends to eat healthy and fresh food in Siderno. Excellent restaurant. Alfredo and Flavia

Last night we went to the new place to eat a pizza and since there was a celiac person in the group we asked to confirm if a gluten-free pizza was possible. On the phone we were told that they don't know, to call back in 5 minutes (and this in itself must have sounded strange to us). After 5 minutes they confirm the gluten free pizza and we head to the restaurant.
The place appears well-kept and tidy in detail, we sit down and from there the problems begin. without going into details, very long and delayed service, the pizzas and appetizers arrived in fits and starts. Among other things, out of 7 pizzas ordered, 1 of which was gluten-free, 4 were wrong: the stretched one arrived classic, the red gluten-free one arrived white, walnuts were added to taste in another, another was classic and instead it arrived ironed.
Really bad service, we arrived at 9pm, we left when the place closed due to the slowness.
The normal flavored pizzas were very good, the ingredients of good quality and tasty.
As far as gluten-free is concerned, I find it really embarrassing to advertise a quality that on various occasions has not proven to be there: years ago we went to the place near the stadium and we were told that the dough had had problems, another time the problem was the oven, this time however was a pre-cooked base.
I'm still anxiously waiting for this gluten-free blonde to amaze us.
My family and I came here for our first night in Reggio and had a terrific night.
The staff were all very friendly and accommodating. They rearranged half the outdoor dining room to fit our party of 10.
We had a mix of dietary requirements (vego, vegan, and coeliac) and we all managed to find something to suit.
The pizza was phenomenal. I got the Delight of the woods pizza and could not fault it.
I also got the tiramisu for dessert - which they make in front of you at your table and it was entertaining and delicious
I very much recommend this place to anyone looking for delicious pizza
Super welcoming place, friendly staff, fresh stockfish, delicious and not heavy. Rich and abundant menu. I was skeptical about a full stockfish menu, not really liking fish... but I was charmed, more than satisfied. Top menu prices. Excellent service, I even found a dry stain remover with brush in the bathroom. 👍🏻
We were having lunch with a celiac and they were very careful to satisfy his requests with dedicated dishes.
It's one of the best burgers I've ever tried. The meat is super good, but what I appreciated the most is the choice of different types of bread.. Normal, wholemeal, for celiacs
5 stars are not enough to classify a place like this... it would take several more stars! The place is as elegant as the staff and owners... cleanliness and attention to detail. Now let's move on to the most important part... I invite you to visit this place, DOC fish and 100 star gluten-free dishes!
The ice cream is delicious. I mentioned my intolerance to nuts, the lady at the counter was very responsible, and very kind in letting me know the ingredients and finally changed the spoon to serve me the cup. I saw that they also have gluten-free brioches. Recommended and I will gladly return.
Celiac friendly
