About Nautilus - Taverna Del Borgo

The moment of stepping inside Nautilus - Taverna Del Borgo reveals an inviting ambiance where rustic charm meets understated elegance. The walls adorned with softly glowing lights and subtle nautical hints create a warm setting that feels both intimate and relaxed.

The grilled swordfish and locally sourced calamari stand out, both presenting well-balanced seasoning and a freshness that speaks to regional offerings.

The owner was so nice to seat us so quickly. He initially said 45 mins wait so we looked at another place nearby but really wanted to eat here, so came back after 10 mins and planned to just have a drink at the bar. As we walked in he said the table was ready :) and we ended up having a great meal. The appetizers were amazing, especially the fishballs, and the raw dish and baked fish were delicious. After paying, the owner was so nice when we told him how much we enjoyed, he asked if we wanted a shot of limoncello :) just so welcoming and friendly, we loved Scilla and Calabria thanks to experiences like this.

This place is an absolute gem! The food was delicious and fresh – you could really taste the quality and passion in every bite. The tiramisu was a highlight: creamy, delicate, and simply perfect. The atmosphere made the experience even more special: under the terrace there was illuminated water with little fish swimming around, creating a magical and relaxing vibe. Definitely a place worth visiting and recommending!

My husband and I ate here for lunch on our first day in Scilla. The restaurant itself is gorgeously decorated with a wonderful patio over the sea. The views are amazing and the food was DELICIOUS. We would absolutely return!

The terrace setting is pleasant espy at the edge of the balcony. The only option to read the menu is by using the QR code and reading an Italian menu on your phone. This is almost impossible. The menu would be more appealing if it was printed on paper. I noted 2 tables leaving without ordering because of they could view the menu. The grilled swordfish was not dry and was tasty. My stuffed calamari was flavoursome. We shared a tomato and onion salad. €62 for 2 mains, glass of wine and water.i really just wanted to eat swordfish so I got want I came for.

It was raining outside so we happened to duck inside for some lunch while we waited for it to pass. I was traveling with my mom while visiting Scilla for about 3 days, and this was probably one of my favorite spots we tried during our time here. We had the calamari with veggies and shrimp lemon pasta. The calamari was some of the tastiest I’d ever had - fried just the perfect amount, not too much, and a great proportion of seafood to veggies. The shrimp lemon pasta was probably one of the best pasta dishes I’ve ever had - I’d been craving shrimp pasta and this had a light but creamy sauce, with yummy shrimp and tagliolini. We also had the house wine, which was divine. We finished our lunch off with espresso and were perfectly satiated. On top of the delicious food, the staff was also so hospitable and kind, and the views of the sea were lovely. Thank you, Nautilus, for a wonderful lunch and atmosphere!
