Tropea

We went to Tropea on Friday 25th April and I have to say is a must-visit for Italian food lovers! It transports you to the sunny shores of southern Italy’s Calabrian coast with its cozy and inviting atmosphere. The service is top-notch - friendly, knowledgeable, and attentive. They strike the perfect balance between professionalism and warmth, making you feel like a VIP. The food is absolutely incredible! They have these amazing sharing plates that let you try a variety of flavours and textures. The Burrata is a must-try - it’s soft, buttery, and packed with fresh herbs, nuts, and strawberries. It’s like a party in your mouth! The Green agnolotti filled with ricotta is another must-try. They make the pasta fresh and flavorful, and it’s a real standout on the menu. The beef cheek ragu is slow-cooked to perfection - it’s melt-in-your-mouth delicious and super satisfying. It’s the perfect pairing with pasta or polenta. And the sautéed chicken livers are a amazing. They’re packed with flavour and have a tender texture that really complements the other dishes.

This was our second time dining at Tropea post Michelin star and extension and it did not disappoint. Courgette flowers were divine: mint and goats cheese transported me back to Cyprus. While normally not a fan of savoury and sweet, the burrata with strawberry was subtle and silky. For pasta, we choose the wild prawn linguine and beef cheek ragu. If I had to offer one criticism, both were a tad over-salted, which slightly overpowered the flavours. If I remember correctly, I had the same criticism the first time we visited. The chef is clearly skilled so no need to over salt! The spatchcock chicken was a surprising standout dish. So difficult to get a tasty chicken these days, wonderful produce cooked beautifully. Tiramisu for desert was good but not exceptional, but does not come close to the best tiramisu I ever had in a hole in the wall in Rome. Lovely patient staff and a relaxed atmosphere! Highly recommend.

Went to Tropea for an anniversary celebration and the staff were very kind and attentive throughout. Definitely made us feel we’d chosen the right place to go to celebrate as they added some personalised celebrations which was nice. The food was all really lovely. For two it was recommended to order 5-7 plates. Our personal highlights were the courgette flowers, eel tagliatelle, the green agnolotti and the lamb but every dish we ate was very tasty. The cocktails were also well made and tasty. Not a cheap meal but certainly worth the cost and we’ll definitely be returning.

Absolutely incredible at everything! The food was just unreal. Would 100% recommend. The service was lovely - all staff were kind and helpful. Also not too bad on price. This is a must try

The staff at Tropea made our engagement celebration meal so special, from the warm welcome we received to the extra special congratulatory message on our menus and dessert plate, the amazing food, service and to top it off with a complimentary glass of champagne, we couldn't give this place enough stars. Thank you for making it so memorable.
