I migliori ristoranti di cucina mediterraneanella città Tropea della Vibo valentia

12/10/2025: In the heart of Tropea's historic center, enjoy a delicious cocktail in a friendly atmosphere. Courtesy and friendliness are their forte. Very satisfied.

01/10/2025: A great selection of delicious cocktails, a relaxed atmosphere and very friendly waiters.

30/09/2025: I'm sharing my very positive experience! We were four of us at this restaurant on July 11, 2025. The welcome was typically touristy, but the restaurant actually offered impeccable service, good food, and excellent value. It's a shame about the portions, which were really small.

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 🙏👌👏

16/10/2025: Excellent restaurant, very tasty, top-notch service. We stumbled upon it by chance; we had a reservation at Alice's. It was a very lucky coincidence, though.

05/10/2025: Charming place located in the narrow streets of the historic center, good food, fast and friendly service

04/10/2025: We had already eaten at this restaurant three years ago and loved it. We went back today and it's still the same. Top notch from start to finish! Beautiful ambiance both inside and out, very friendly staff, and the dishes coming out of the kitchen are perfect! And the prices for this delicious food are very fair! Highly recommended.

07/10/2025: I went with my wife and son in September for dinner in the ancient cave. The seafood appetizer smelled bad and tasted nothing like seafood. The octopus was transparent and smelled bad—you couldn't tell it was octopus carpaccio; it was literally transparent, like tissue paper. The rest was anything but anything that reminded you of the sea. Everything was frozen and poorly treated. Parmigiana was the sore point!! It wasn't parmigiana, but a mixture of boiled eggs drowned in tomato sauce. I don't think they even know what eggplant parmigiana is; there were only boiled eggs. I wouldn't go back even if they paid me; it was a TERRIBLE experience that's hard to undo. They have no idea what Italian or Calabrian cuisine is. What a shame! These people were improvised and had never worked in a kitchen!

28/09/2025: Incredibly delicious traditional cuisine❤️

20/11/2025: Excellent service! Good food and a pleasant atmosphere.

11/11/2025: The food was very good, as was the service and prices (November). We ordered homemade pasta with Tropea onions and stuffed squid. The squid (video in the file) was amazing. I'll be back for it again and again. The "Tartuffo" dessert wasn't worth the price, although very good; one piece is more than enough for two people. My overall rating: Worth coming back here, the best restaurant in Tropea :D

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

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!

21/11/2025: I visited Tropea at the end of this summer, a city that's always beautiful and very popular. I chose this restaurant because it's the only one in town that's a member of the Italian Celiac Association (AIC), a key aspect for me. The location is central, though slightly away from the touristy pedestrian area. The interior is pleasant and modern. Reservations are strongly recommended. I arrived with a group of 12. The table was ready, but two chairs were missing, so we stood and waited for them to be brought. We then waited another 31 minutes before anyone came to take our order. During the service, some issues arose: a bread basket was passed over the plate of the only celiac diner. I brought this to the attention of the restaurant manager, but she didn't seem to understand the seriousness of the situation. It was surprising to have to explain such a clear risk of contamination, especially in an AIC-accredited restaurant. It should be added that the gluten-free menu carries a surcharge, despite the prices already not being particularly cheap. And unfortunately, it didn't end there: one of my guests' entire order was forgotten, and the dish arrived about twenty minutes late... and incomplete, to boot. The place wasn't particularly crowded, so it's hard to justify such imprecise service. It's a real shame, because the food is good, and the robot waiter, while interesting to watch, doesn't make up for the staff's shortcomings. Above-average prices demand adequate service. And gluten contamination is no joke. ______________________________________________ Update after the owner's response: ______________________________________________ Thank you for your time, although I find the tone adopted by a place that claims to be competent in the AIC field surprising. I'll clarify a few points. Reservation and table We didn't arrive "at very short notice": we had booked well in advance, as is normal for a group of 12 people with a celiac. The table for 10 had been set for 12, but there were no chairs: a simple fact. If you believe that limited space increases the risk of contamination, it would have been more professional to suggest two tables. Such a professional suggestion would have been more in keeping with the image of a safe and attentive establishment. Wait and Forgotten Order The establishment wasn't packed. The 31-minute wait for the order and the forgotten dish (which later arrived incomplete) remain objective facts. Your reconstruction is unfounded! Attacking the customer instead of acknowledging a mistake is neither a sign of competence nor wisdom. Gluten Contamination My complaint follows AIC guidelines: dishes containing gluten should not be passed over those intended for a celiac. The comments you attribute to me—about celiacs who should eat alone or couples who should sleep in separate beds—are embarrassing and misplaced trivializations, inconsistent with the image of a caring establishment. I say this with respect, but I express my disapproval. Review Timing and Constructive Spirit I wrote this review after two and a half months precisely to reflect and offer constructive feedback. Criticism, when based on facts, helps improve; arrogance and sarcasm do not. If I didn't respect your commitment—the food and the service—I wouldn't have taken the time to write such a detailed review. My review wasn't offensive, and 11 other witnesses can confirm what happened. The tone of your reply—a mixture of sarcasm and emoticons—doesn't do the restaurant justice, and that's a shame, because the food is good. Sometimes it's enough to acknowledge a mistake and, above all, show a willingness to improve. Best regards!

31/10/2025: The view is simply breathtaking and the atmosphere enchanting; we enjoyed delicious, carefully prepared dishes. A truly top-notch experience in every way!

20/10/2025: From waiter to customer, I finished my working season and after 7 months I spent an evening as a customer and for good reason I praised the dishes, giving them some good and some bad reviews, but I tried them myself and they are amazing. Not to mention the staff, my colleagues and friends, creating a harmonious atmosphere thanks to the owners Roby and Gaia, who are wonderful people who have managed to be friends and employers at the right time and in the right way. EXCELLENT FOOD EXCELLENT STAFF GAYA AND ROBY ARE FANTASTIC

20/10/2025: We dined with The Fork in a wonderful outdoor location in August, but we weren't able to review it directly on the The Fork app. The staff was incredibly friendly, and we really enjoyed chatting with the owner, who was eager to get to know us and tell us that he's moved from the north to charming Tropea. We ate well and also enjoyed the huge portions of local onions.
