Huge disappointment. We visited yesterday relying on the Michelin Bib Gourmand recommendation, but it was a total fiasco. We were a party of three, all very familiar with authentic Italian cuisine, and we left completely baffled by how this place made it into the guide.
The atmosphere is decent it has a fine-dining vibe without being overly luxurious but the food (the main reason we came) was a massive letdown.
We ordered the fried pumpkin, focaccia, burrata salad, and bombolone to start. The only decent item was the burrata. The focaccia was standard, something you’d find anywhere. The rest was poor; we couldn't even finish the bombolone, it was that bad.
For mains, the tagliatelle was mediocre, and the steak was completely ordinary nothing you couldn't get at a random steakhouse. Dessert was the final blow: the dark chocolate sorbet was forgettable, and the cannoli felt like an insult to Italian cuisine.
It is shocking that Michelin recommends this spot. Honestly, you can find much better, more authentic Italian flavors at a franchise like Eataly. I strictly do not recommend this place. A complete waste of time and expectation.

The place is very cosy with nice lighting and the service was impeccable I have to say they were super attentive and chatty which made you feel very at home.

Is it expensive ? Yes.

But it’s an experience that warrants coming to check it out, I will be back to try more of the menu

This’s my first time to dine at Tropea. We ordered two appetisers, two pasta (one half size and one full size), one main dish and two desserts. The dish I and my kids like most is the crab linguine, it’s really al dente. Tiramisu is our favourite too. However, the duck leg is a bit salty. Overall, the food and service is good.

I’ve been wanting to try Tropea for a while and finally got the chance to visit for my first anniversary. The food, experience and service were all excellent. I really love the sharing concept since it lets you try a bit of everything, especially for someone like me who enjoys exploring new dishes. The battered courgette, monkfish and baked eggplant were amazing, and the Tropea sundae and dark chocolate sorbet were absolutely 💯

We visited Tropea for our anniversary and honestly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. The service was incredible. The waiter really went above and beyond to make the evening feel really special. They even personalised our menus with “Happy Anniversary” printed on them, which was such a thoughtful touch.

The food was absolutely outstanding. If you love authentic Italian food, this place is an absolute must-visit.

We loved the intimate atmosphere and the way the staff made everything feel so thoughtful and personal.

Tropea made our anniversary unforgettable. Highly recommend!

Had a booking on the strength of a recommendation. Upon arrival I was left standing in the doorway for 10 minutes while the waiter/attendant blanked me multiple times. I approached the lady behind the bar and informed her I had a booking. She informed me she would be with me asap. 5 minutes later still no one attended to me. With no waiting area and just left to stand in the door way this is very low customer service. Ive never had this in any establishment. Once seated when asked when would we like the food to come out. Even though we informed the waiter we would want the food to come out as soon as its ready he was very pushy and forced us to have it on a shared basis. Again as other said very pushy on suggesting additional dishes. All the food I ate was very nice. After I informed the waiter that I wasnt happy with being left hanging other staff served me who offered better customer service.

A great Italian with wonderful food. The smoked eel pasta was divine as indeed the waiter promised. The only slight negative was the price which seemed a little "toppy" but I haven't eaten out for a while so am perhaps behind the curve on this.

First time visiting, and I can’t fault it!
From the focaccia to the beef cheek ragu, everything was incredible. The flavors were spot on, and the quality really stood out. A special shoutout to Matt his service was amazing and made the whole experience even better.

If I could rate this restaurant 10/5, I would. We booked here for my graduation meal expecting some good Italian food, but our experience blew all expectations out of the water. From the moment we sat down to the minute we left, the servers couldn’t have been kinder, more attentive, or more hospitable; the attention to detail, care, and genuine warmth was second to none and made my day so special. And the food - oh my gosh, the food. I can’t put into words how delicious each and every dish they gave us was; I don’t think I’ve ever had pasta so nice or chicken so tender! All the hype you’ve heard and read about this place is true, you need to eat here at least once to truly understand. And thank you once again to the Tropea team, from front of house to kitchen staff, for making my graduation a night to truly remember.

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.

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.

Went to Tropea for the first time for my birthday and it was definitely the right choice! Love the atmosphere and the little detail on the menu. The staff also offer us an extra piece of brownie after spelling my name wrong haha. Excellent service. Looking forward to return!
