The Best Seafood Near Crunch – Pizzeria Popolare, by the Record

A casual fish spot right on the Soverato seafront promenade, where the menu is built around the idea that good fish needs very little help. Catch comes fried, raw, tucked into rolls, or piled onto friselle bread, with generous salads and house-made desserts filling out the gaps. Wine by the glass and cocktails, including creative originals in the evening, keep things lively. The Michelin Guide has it on their radar.

A one-Michelin-star seafood restaurant on the Ionian coast where bergamot and chili turn up in the sauces and the fish arrives tasting like it never left the water. The chef keeps things clean and regional, from crudo to grilled catch, without a lot of ceremony around it. The wine list leans Calabrian, which feels right, and the local sparkling Gaglioppo is a genuine find alongside the raw preparations.
