I migliori ristoranti di cucina altre cucine d'europa in Calabria

12/01/2026: Great restaurant with very friendly staff, excellent wine list, the food is really good and they have gluten-free options and they take care of the customers!

19/10/2025: “Incipit” is almost a hidden gem, tucked away from the busy High Street and tourist-heavy areas. This spot comes highly recommended by locals — and for good reason. It has a gorgeous outdoor terrace with views over the piazza, but the real wow factor comes when you choose to dine indoors… in the cave! Yes, a beautifully lit, cosy cave with an incredible atmosphere that makes the whole experience feel special. The service was exceptional — friendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. The menu is fantastic, offering a perfect mix of local favourites and creative twists. We went all out and enjoyed the full experience: antipasto, primo, and secondo. The tuna tartare was outstanding, bursting with freshness and flavour. I had the Fileja al ’Nduja ragu, which was absolutely mind-blowing — and high on my Calabria culinary wish list. My partner chose the hazelnut risotto, which was equally exceptional. For mains, I had the pistachio-crusted seabass while my partner had the cod — both dishes beautifully presented and cooked to perfection. Highly recommended if you want an authentic, high-quality dining experience away from the tourist traps. Grazie mille per il fantastico servizio 🙏👌👏

05/03/2026: The food is very delicious and high quality, I highly recommend.

15/02/2026: Let's start with the fried chicken, which was the only truly good thing with sweet and sour sauce. I had fries that were clearly frozen, but the problem was they were really full of salt. We ordered the same sandwich, removing one ingredient each, although the request wasn't honored and the sandwich was returned. Both sandwiches were decent, the bread left much to be desired, not even the slightest bit grilled, and the sandwich arrived at my table disheveled. My requests to the waitresses (perhaps due to the crowd) were ignored; half the time you raised your hand, they went straight by. We ordered drinks, but they didn't arrive before the food, and we ate without drinks, even though I'd asked for them. I also had to ask for the glasses they'd forgotten to put on. The sauces were the same... Overall, it might not have been their fault because there were too many people, but as a customer, I wasn't served properly, neither for drinks nor sauces nor for my sandwich requests... The atmosphere was perfect at first, then a nice band started playing, but the volume was too high and it was impossible to talk. Plus, there were children running around between the tables and climbing everywhere with no respect for others.

08/02/2026: We were at La Perla del Tirreno and had a truly excellent experience. Everything was delicious, from the freshest seafood dishes to the meticulous presentation. I truly appreciated the kindness of the owner and the maître d', who were always attentive and helpful. A major plus: the owner immediately took steps to accommodate my husband, who has a fish allergy, by preparing a truly excellent slice of meat. Furthermore, the restaurant is well-equipped to accommodate celiacs, with great attention to detail and professionalism. Fresh seafood, a welcoming atmosphere, and impeccable service, all overlooking the sea. We'll definitely be back.

21/09/2025: The quality of the fish is excellent. The service is professional, and the location is beautiful. A good selection of dishes, 4/5 of each type, without those endlessly long tourist menus. Prices are in line with seaside seafood restaurants. Highly recommended... And then, in mid-September, with the beach half-empty and the sea in front... peace of mind.

21/03/2026: The place absolutely needs improvement because I noticed a lot of neglect. It left me perplexed and unimpressed. The owners and staff were friendly. The dishes were plentiful and decent, but not exceptional for my tastes. For example, the spaghetti wasn't cooked al dente. I would only recommend much, much improvement in quality and atmosphere, including better lighting.

13/03/2026: This is the exact same review from about 4 years ago. The owner lashed out (yes, against it, it's appropriate to say!) against this review, attempting to ridicule an honest, albeit unpleasant, review by addressing them in the most truculent and aggressive terms possible. Today, exactly 3 hours ago, that reply to my review was edited!!! 4 years later, it was edited!!! How come? Why? 4 years later, they come back and remove that vulgar and inappropriate reply, replacing it with a few lines...of contrition!? It smells a bit fishy...it's March and the summer season is starting again! And the reviews, along with the replies, are starting to carry a lot of weight and serve as a good reference for those who come or plan to come to stay in magnificent Tropea. I suspect this (they also edited another reply to a negative review!!) is the result of a commercial strategy that has nothing to do with food and dining. If so, new patrons will be able to verify it. I hope I'm wrong and that things have changed today, for the better (truly better, as a fairytale location like Tropea deserves). I'm confident I'll find myself in Tropea again and will want to try their cuisine again, intellectually honest as ever, ready to retrace my steps (I truly hope so). REVIEW IN MY ORIGINAL AND UNEDITED VERSION FROM 4 YEARS AGO: "Think of the worst and that's half of what will happen to you the moment you unfortunately decide to enter this place! Fresh fish has never been in here! The reason they will repeat to you ad nauseam is that this mysterious artifact must go through a "battitura" process (a term in vogue here to define freezing!). The expert who will administer pearls of scientific-culinary wisdom to you is a certain Mauro, a tall figure with a mellifluous attitude who will try to distract you by serving you 2 plates of "reheated soup" that are at least 1 week old and will make you pay dearly and bitterly. You will be surprised to see that a grilled fish (that's how they call it), will taste like Findus fish fingers and that it will have neither head nor tail... nor fish! If you try to ask for a fish in salt (present on the menu) they will answer which unfortunately wasn't caught either because of the peach ban or, in the case of mussels, because they don't like the method of transporting them from Puglia! When you complain about the supposed quality/freshness of the fish, Mauro will tell you he'll report it to the chef! The chef? If anyone ever sets foot in this little theater! Last piece of advice: if you ever stumble upon this place, always ask the price of off-menu puatti (?) and check the bill (they double-charged the water)! Good luck everyone.

10/11/2025: Evocative, unique, pictorial, an artificial village faithfully reproduced in a huge warehouse. Truly beautiful.

19/08/2025: Great place, exceptional location, and a pizzeria restaurant. Recommended for everything, including the price and the excellent menu offered. The price and quality are fair. I recommend it for the quality and abundance of the dishes, not to mention the excellent pizzas.
