Fine Dining Restaurants

Pimm's
Consistently rated one of the best restaurants in Calabria, Pimm's is a cliff-hugging hideaway in Tropea's historical centre. It serves seafood dishes such as sea urchin, smoked swordfish and stuffed squid, and the views from the balcony are breathtaking.

Address: 14 Largo Migliarese, Tropea | Telephone: 096 366 6105 |

Al Vicoletto
A favourite for locals, this cosy restaurant has a diner-feel but is your best bet if you are looking for local, homemade Calabrese food in town. Save room for desserts - they are as delicious as they are beautiful.
