I migliori ristoranti di cucina italiananella città Tropea della Vibo valentia

29/11/2025: The food was amazing, and the waiters were divided between some who were unprofessional and seemed to be making comments and jokes about the customers while chatting among themselves, and others who were super professional, knowledgeable, and friendly. I booked with the Fork, and the discount wasn't applied initially (after waiting 15 minutes for the bill at the table), so when I pointed it out, they recalculated the bill manually and brought it back after another 10 minutes of waiting. Highly recommended if you want good food at reasonable prices!

11/10/2025: Hot garbage, nothing like the pictures

19/09/2025: Perfect spot for a morning cappuccino and croissant!

28/08/2025: Polite and friendly staff, excellent ice creams, desserts and a real espresso coffee

30/08/2025: Lido la costa degli dei is a beach where people go to have fun with their children and relax enjoying their holidays. Go there but I recommend you bring sea shoes with you, the sea is beautiful.

28/08/2025: Great beach ⛱️⛱️⛱️⛱️⛱️ plenty of refreshments and beautiful scenery!

01/02/2026: We were there in September 2025 and I just found myself thinking about it again tonight. The service was lovely, the wine was excellent, and the view was unforgettable. Such a great spot for a date — beautiful atmosphere and an all-around wonderful experience.

06/01/2026: Good experience. When I was there (December 25th), they had the option of a full menu at a reasonable price (just over €30). I recommend booking a table with a view!

02/01/2026: 5++++ Traditional Italian restaurant, lovely staff, you have to try the Spaghetti Bolognese, Lasagne and swordfish 🙂

01/01/2026: Very poor price-quality ratio and portion size in general lasagna portion for a 3-month-old baby

09/03/2026: I've never had a worse meal. An endless wait from the door to the end of the meal. A good two hours to get something to eat, and I don't know how to describe it, what adjective to use to describe it all. From the appetizer to the main course, including a first course (fileja with swordfish sauce) with no seasoning and with the sauce remaining the intention of the person in charge of cooking: cold dishes of truly poor quality. Courtesy is not lacking, but you enter the restaurant not only for the manners... I read the other reviews and wonder if they've changed the chef in the meantime, because today's chef, I believe, is his first experience in the kitchen. What I couldn't have known yesterday is that today I had gastrointestinal problems, resulting in diarrhea. Many thanks to the owner.

02/02/2026: December 31, 2025, passing through Tropea. Last dinner of the year, unpretentious, and before midnight. The owner tells us she also brought her dogs to the restaurant so they wouldn't be scared by the fireworks, and we had ours. During dinner, two explosions were very annoying for us, let alone the dogs. I wanted to go out and protest. At the third, we realized it was the owner's fault, and we ran away. Just one piece of advice, Mr. Owner: commit and invest money and time in quality and speed of service, not in scaring customers away.

29/11/2025: Booked with The Fork. Located in a super chilled little square with soft lighting and an elegant atmosphere. Helpful and professional waiters, food in line with the offerings of many restaurants in Tropea, fair prices, and excellent quality.

09/11/2025: There were four of us. The restaurant is actually located in a courtyard surrounded by old houses (some with their laundry hanging out to dry). A street musician came by and stayed for a full 40 minutes, playing incredibly loudly so we couldn't have a proper conversation. The service seemed to be competing with each other... even though we already had a waiter, the owner came by and started the entire order all over again... if only she had actually brought everything... The food was okay – not what you'd expect from an Italian restaurant. And it was expensive enough for what it was. So, not really...

22/10/2025: Very tasty pizza and very good service 😃

19/10/2025: Great night out. Highly recommended for food and drinks. Wonderful staff.

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.
