Ristorante La Lamia

Good food and good vibes, the staff was nice and welcoming. They were able to accommodate us without a reservation. I would like for the service to be faster but overall it was great

My wife and I came here during the second night of our honeymoon. While there was a little wait without a reservation, the staff was accommodating, and treated us respectfully with complementary champagne. The overall atmosphere and outdoor seating was top notch. Their Calabrian onion sampler, carbonara and octopus were all excellent. We were even surprised by impromptu live music! It was an unforgettable and romantic night we will not forget. Easily the best meal we've had during our stay in Tropea.

Staff was friendly, they even made a suggestion on what we could order and share all our dishes as we shared our bruschetta. Food was excellent too. Cute hidden spot with a really good atmosphere. Would recommend to reserve a spot as it gets crowded

A lovely restaurant offering authentic local cuisine with fresh, local ingredients. We started with two antipasti: the octopus salad, which was tasty but not particularly remarkable, and a bit pricey for what it was (€18). The aubergine rolls stuffed with local cheese and onion, however, were fantastic! For the main course, we chose the traditional Calabrese pasta – fieja with nduja and burrata, as well as a seafood version. I was pleasantly surprised by the selection of fresh seafood, which was a standout. Overall, a very enjoyable meal, though it felt a bit on the expensive side for the experience.

Can’t recommend this place enough! The service is beyond excellent, the food is amazing, and the wine incredible. Our server helped us select a wine based on our flavor preferences and price range. Also showed us everything on the onion appetizer (which we LOVED). And our pastas were so fresh and tasty. So far on our trip to Italy, this has been our favorite place. Unfortunately we didn’t try dessert because we were stuffed, but I’m sure it would have been delicious. Definitely try this place!

Highly recommended: - the staff is very kind and passionate - the food is delicious and fresh - the location is so authentic in the heart of Tropea - the prices are ok - the service is fast. The food was served within 15min Absolutely no negative comments. Thank you Ristorante La Lamia for this nice dinner and experience.

Very nice please on a cozy courtyard. It was quite warm there but a little breeze made it more comfortable. The service was very friendly but not very well coordinated. We often had to wait way too long before someone came to take an order. As for the food: Rullatine di Melanzane 10/10 GREAT Fileja con cipole, poverello bianco e pecorino 9/10 VERY TASTY Polpette 4/10 very dissapointing, not soft enough and too dry at the top (probably a broiler was used) Polpo alla griglia 7/10 it was very tender but somehow, the smell was off and I think the reason was the grill. It smelled burned.

The most incredible meal ever (we came twice). What an absolute pleasure it was to visit this restaurant! If you don’t give it a try you are mad! We chose the onion tasting plate for an entree on one of our visits and will think about it for the rest of our lives! Overall a 10/10. Staff are pleasant and helpful and recommend some good wine choices to accompany our meals.
