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.
Fantastic from start to finish.. attentive but relaxed service, expertly thought out dishes, perfectly seasoned, great atmosphere 👌

A lovely find just outside Birmingham city center. Excellent Italian cuisine.
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.
Absolutely incredible at everything! The food was just unreal. Would 100% recommend. The service was lovely - all staff were kind and helpful. Also not too bad on price. This is a must try
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!
