About Us

Welcome to Stella Marina, your corner of paradise in Marina di Gioiosa Jonica, where gastronomic tradition and love for cooking blend together in a unique experience. Our bar, restaurant and pizzeria is the ideal place for those looking for an authentic experience, with dishes prepared with the freshest and selected ingredients, from the sea and the land. We also organize small receptions to make your important occasions special, with personalized menus and a welcoming atmosphere.

 

Directed by our chef and owner Nicola Mazzaferro, who has put his heart and passion into his cooking for years, Stella Marina is much more than just a restaurant: it is a home where every customer feels special, welcomed with a sincere and genuine smile. Alongside Nicola, there is Cosimina, his life and work partner, who with love and dedication takes care of the details in the kitchen and in the dining room, creating a familiar and welcoming atmosphere that makes every visit special.

 

In the kitchen, our tireless helper Rosa supports chef Nicola and Cosimina, contributing with her commitment and positive spirit to the preparation of fresh and tasty dishes. Every dish we serve tells a story made of tradition, freshness and love for good food.

In the dining room, there is Michael, our maître and bartender, who welcomes each customer with his lively spirit and contagious smile, ensuring a unique and welcoming experience, always ready to recommend the right dish or a refreshing drink.

Our cuisine is a journey through authentic flavors, where each dish tells the story of our passion for traditional cuisine. The fish, the heart of our cuisine, arrives every day directly from the sea, while the meat dishes are prepared with care and attention, to offer you an unforgettable taste experience.

 

During the summer, our beach resort awaits you for a day of relaxation and fun, with the opportunity to enjoy our fresh and delicious dishes even on the beach, with the sea as a backdrop. The management of the resort is entrusted to Domenico, Nicola and Cosimina's son, who with passion and professionalism takes care of offering customers a comfortable and relaxing experience by the sea.

Stella Marina is the place where good food meets the beauty of the sea and authentic hospitality.

 

Come visit us and let yourself be won over by our passion for good food, the sea and conviviality. With us, every meal is an opportunity to smile and live unforgettable moments together.
