Where to eat Italian food in Tropea: The Best Restaurants and Bars

February 13, 2020 Matilde Konrad

Reviews on Italian food in Tropea, Province of Vibo Valentia, Italy. If you come across "cipolla di Tropea"-flavored gelato, you might worry that you’ve forgotten your Italian… or are losing your mind. Don’t fret. "Cipolla" does mean onion, and yes, that is indeed onion gelato. The local red onions are so popular that they’ve even made it into dessert. Tropea, like so many towns on the Amalfi Coast, has a gorgeous cliffside setting. Beneath those cliffs, you’ll find beautiful, sandy beaches.

Looking for a special night out, we chose "Alice Restaurant". Nice, intimate, outdoor setting. The service was fabulous, as was the food. Along with your Italian classics, the menu had creative and imaginative side to it too. From start to finish we thoroughly enjoyed our evening here. Family run, the husband is your host, and the wife is the chef. When we were done he took us into the kitchen to meet her. Even shared a nice, complimentary, after dinner liquer with us. Would definitely recommend.

Incipit Restaurant

Reviewed By mnielsen1974

were here 3 years ago, where it was the best in town. this time it is just the most expensive in town. went for fish, but could only get smaller fish (orata, spigola) that was priced very high. wine is expensive (and not better than other restaurant - greco de tufo at 58 as i remember), antipasti is extremely expensive , and the waiter oversells (we ask for 4 to share for 6, we end up paying for 8) so will not come back - sorry!

We would like to try the best (Tripadvisor) pizza in Tropea, but were a bit disappointed by the cremated crust we received. The cheese and filling was also very running. The (friendly) waiter just pulled up his shoulder and said something about the oven.. The taste of my pizza gorgonzola and the part that was not burned was very tasty though. The quattro stagioni was not very special.I can not give more than 2 stars for this, sorry.

Reviewed By ChrisTubbs

After 2 days of being off food this was just what the Dr ordered. Honest, unpretentious food and good beer. What you see on the menu is what you get. We turned up just as they were setting up and the welcomed us in and fed us alcohol. Once they got sorted out around 7:30 they offered us food. And it didn’t disappoint. Great wings, lovely fries, thick onion rings and two great burgers served in panini buns. The beer was excellent as well. If you want fancy. Give this a miss. If you want a change from pasta and fish. Get stuck in.

Maybe expecting too much after reading TripAdvisor reviews, but I felt that the restaurant was just OK.The menu was typical of the area with nothing different to make it stand out.The food was well cooked and service although started well deteriorated as the restaurant got busier.Decent enough place for a meal but not what I was expecting.

BO.CA - Bottega Calabra

Reviewed By Lucyyyyyy

Very good burgers. Range of beef burgers and a veggie burger option, which I had. Come with very nice rosemary sauce and cheese sauce, and roasted veggies on top of the veggie burger pattie. €10.50-12.50 for a burger. No chips included, you have to buy them for around €3 extra. 'Chips' are the American type and actually freshly made crisps, so would advise instead going for the potatoes option to go with the burgers. Menu is a little confusing, maybe because of the English translation, so ask a server to clarify. Servers weren't overly friendly but okay. Chairs weren't particularly comfy. Overall good food at an okay middling price for Tropea.

Friendly staff, good cocktails, reasonable prices compared to other bars in Tropea. If you go at aperitivo hour, you get a nice fresh selection of bite-size treats with your drink. One of the best in Tropea

Ristorante Bella Italia

Reviewed By Petr K

We were here for three times. Every visit we've ordered pizza... everytime it was very good, especially I would recommend a capricciosa. The staff is friendly, but what we did not like is a slow staff. It took 10minutes when they noticed you need something, then took ten minutes when you received a bill, then took 10minutes until you got money back.. when you get a bill, check the line "pane" - "bread" it costs 3euro, also when you did not order it and did not received it... every visit. I think that if we had not better cooking restaurant in nearby, we would not return...
