Possibly the best location on the Falerna beach front. This is one of the few (perhaps only)…read morerestaurant that has it's own beach. Although the beach area is closed during the evening, the bar has a nice view of the setting sun (Falerna is on the west coast). Many other restaurants, offer a view of the promenade (people watching), but not of the sea. The pizza I had tasted good. But what makes this place better than average is the set up/location. Also the staff was extremely friendly and the menu was in english. Why not 5 star? Because (like all the restaurants on the beach front, but still) the chairs were plastic garden chairs.

Food is legit!…read moreWe split a bufalotta pizza- tomato sauce, cherry tomatoes, buffalo mozzarella, basil, and oregano. We also shared the mixed platter appetizer, but it is quite large. If i were to only order one single appetizer, it would be the eggplant (meat)balls. My only "complaint" is that they get really busy. We ordered some wine and they failed to bring it to us. It was no big deal--- maybe it was God's way of telling us we should drink less. Hehe. The food was awesome and we may even swing by here for lunch before our flight home.

I have no reason not to give it 5 stars -- it's nothing super fancy or special, but it was yummy and a pleasant experience! Bruschetta tipica and pasta alle vongole are recommended. If I'm in Tropea again, I'll go back.

Cute little gelataria across from the church di Piedigrotta. I was dying to try a tartufo (which…read moreoriginated in Pizzo, Calabria) and it did not disappoint. A tartufo is essentially two favors of gelato formed into a ball with a chocolate lava center and coated with cocoa powder. Tartufo in Italian means "Truffle" so basically it's a truffle made of gelato. The hospitality here was amazing as well, the owner spoke English so I felt very comfortable and he was a very sweet gentleman who was very helpful. Definitely stop in if you are in the area, you won't be disappointed, very high quality gelato.

Skip the touristy places selling gelato and pizza IN THE PIAZZA and take a short stroll up via Francesco (like the Pope!) to this truly exceptional local restaurant. You don't have to eat Pizza in Pizzo. Luciano is the owner and a very welcoming host! The onion soup is beyond delicious on a tomato base but wait, these onions (Cipolla) are a regional delicacy and they are fresh, sweet and not to be missed! Get this soup! We followed it with the local grilled tuna Tropea style and it too was garnished with the local produce. Perfect grilled vegetables. CHILLI PEPPER also has a local wine list and local Calabrian beers! We didn't drink today, but the list looks very special and very local! So, don't eat in the PIZZA IN PIZZO IN THE PIAZZA, keep walking like we did TO CHILLI PEPPER TRATTORIA AND WINE BAR and you will be delighted with your meal! I promise, I felt so strongly I wrote the first review. Support local businesses!
