Having spoken with the Saturday team who were unable to recall this, I found that the system I had initially read your review on didn't show me your 'dated visited'. To this end, I have been unable to discuss the detail of your experience as it is now 6 months ago. I am concerned to read such a review, especially... More

We shared a wonderful evening with some old friends at Calabria last weekend. We had noticed this place quite a while ago and was attracted by the rustic decor and lighting which gave it a warm and relaxed feeling. Have to say it was the perfect place to catch up with our friends. As we entered there was an immediate... More

“Outstanding food and good service equals a great dining experience”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 May 2012

After deciding we'd like to eat Italian food in Chesterfield we needed a recommendation and Tripadvisor came up trumps again. After eating there it is easy to see why previous diners have rated this place highly. The food is well prepared, nicely presented and extremely tasty. Our large party of 9 was comfortably accommodated at short notice with with no... More

We organised an evening with friends all of us who own properties in Calabria Italy, and from the initial booking we were assisted with advice on every matter regarding the evening, thus 13 of us from as far afield as London descended upon the restaurant on a Saturday evening the busiest night. We had organised a Calabrian feast where the... More

Always a warm welcome at Calabria with a friendly & relaxed atmosphere. Staff are happy to advise on what's particularly good on the day. Family connections in Calabria mean the food is authentic with some special ingredients brought in from the region. More

“Mothers day meal (and every other) - Fantastic!”

We have been here quite a few times and every single time it has impressed. If you can, go to a special event night such as the regional cuisine ones. The staff are great and always welcoming - even with little ones in tow (although it's a tiny and quite intimate place at night so I probably wouldn't take my... More

Where can I start? Our evening at Calabria on thursday 29th March was quite simply just magical! Our group was an eleven strong birthday party and as well as pre-ordering our food choices we did the same for some prosecco aperitivo. Upon arrival we were given a warm welcome and served this on the pavement frontage, in homage to the... More
