Why Locals Love Roxy Pub
Nestled right on the sun-kissed shores of Scilla, the Roxy Pub offers an irresistible blend of authentic Calabrian flavors and a laid-back beachside vibe that makes every visit feel like a mini getaway. This charming restaurant is a true culinary gem along Via Cristoforo Colombo, where the sea breeze mingles with the aroma of freshly prepared dishes, creating an unforgettable sensory experience.
The menu at Roxy Pub celebrates the essence of Southern Italian and Calabrian cuisine with popular dishes that guests keep coming back for. Patrizia Testa raves about the un’insalata caprese, describing it as “very nice” — the kind of fresh, bright salad that perfectly complements a beach day. Sharing plates are a highlight here, with scrumptious chips served alongside würstel and pancetta offering a deliciously savory treat. If you’re in the mood for something heartier, the pinza—a rustic, thicker take on pizza—delivers comfort with an authentic twist, earning praise for its taste and texture.
Seafood lovers will appreciate the panino al pesce spada (swordfish sandwich), a classic Calabrian specialty celebrated by guests like Anca Annca for its flavorful and fresh qualities, all enjoyed with stunning views of the sea and the historic fortress. Meanwhile, the swordfish pasta comes recommended as another fantastic seafood offering that captures the region’s rich maritime heritage.
Beyond the food, Roxy Pub shines with its effortless charm and warm hospitality. Mathias Weber’s enthusiasm captures the essence perfectly: “Was sooo good! Wow! Go there if you want your taste buds to enjoy themselves!” The attentive and friendly staff maintain a cool, welcoming atmosphere even during busy hours, ensuring your meal flows smoothly and your needs are met with genuine care.
Its prime location right on the beach adds another layer of magic — Chris fondly remembers how it “quickly became our local” for the entire holiday, praising the great cocktails, stunning sunset views, and lively people-watching opportunities. The combination of fresh, flavorful dishes, reasonable prices, and relaxing seaside ambiance makes Roxy Pub an ideal spot to unwind midday or savor an afternoon drink as the sun dips low.
Ending your meal with a crema caffè—a refreshing coffee treat mentioned by Patrizia—perfectly rounds out the experience, offering a delightful palate cleanser that leaves you feeling refreshed and ready for the next adventure.
For those seeking an authentic taste of Calabria in a setting that is as vibrant as it is cozy, Roxy Pub is a must-visit. Whether you’re diving into local specialties, sipping cocktails by the sea, or simply soaking in the breathtaking views, this beachside haven promises a memorable and delicious escape.

Great place to eat in between time at beach. Nice food, very handy and reasonable prices. I had un’insalata caprese which was very nice. We shared some chips with würstel and pancetta. My partner had pinza (like a thicker pizza). All very delicious. Finished the meal with crema caffe. Worth having and refreshing way to have a coffee. You can also buy alcoholic beverages here.

Unexpectedly good food for a beach bar - we had nice pinsa and a swordfish pasta. Nice vibes, right next to the beach

We tried the panino al pesce spada here and it was very tasty. The location is nice, on the beach with a great view on the sea and on the fortress. It was windy but still a great time to taste this calabrian classic. Coperto remains a shameful habit in my opinion and that's why I'm not giving 5*.

Was sooo good! Wow! Go there if you want your taste buds to enjoy themselves! Every dish is a delight. Also a very nice waiter who keeps things cool even at super busy times. The food came also so quickly - even though we got the last available table.

A beautiful spot on the beach, amazing drinks, reasonable prices. They don't charge coperto for drinks. I definitely recommend the Paloma drink. The place is very popular (sometimes it was difficult to find a seat). The staff speaks English and is very friendly. Plus, they play great music. In my opinion, it's the best pub on the entire beach.

Loved the polpo & burrata panino as well as the cabrese. Ordered a second panino cause it was so delicious. Service also fast and good. Would return to Roxy Pub anytime if I am back in Scilla.
