Amazing food. This has absolutely been our best meal in Tropea so far. We went here because of the good reviews and were not disappointed. I had the Ragu misto and it was absolutely delicious. My husband had the filet steak, and it was perfectly...cooked. I also had food envy every time a burger came out for another table! I would definitely recommend a visit hereMore

As this was our first time in Tropea, we did a little research and found this fabulous restaurant in a beautiful part of town. Our meal - caprese salad to start and sliced sheet (scottona) steak (cooked to perfection!) for the main dish - was...absolutely superb! Their house craft beer "Bo" is one of the best we have had on our travels and we wish we could buy it in Canada. Staff were warm, welcoming and extremely accommodating as we arrived before they opened for dinner yet they still seated us and served us drinks while waiting for the kitchen to open up. The have a lovely outdoor eating area situated in a square next to a beautiful old church with lots of night life around. We are so glad we found this restaurant and would recommend it to anyone visiting Tropea.More

My husband, I and our three children went to la Bottega Calabra for dinner. We had made a reservation in advance (which is necessary) and was met by a very friendly and professional staff. We first got very good guidance to choose the wine. The...food was just excellent. We had hamburger di scottona and pappardelle con ragù misto and tagliatelle con ricotta affumicato. Everything tasted fantastic and all the food was of very good quality and well prepared. Really value for money and a perfect location. The best meal we have had in Tropea.More

My boyfriend and I stopped by for dinner. The staff was friendly and nice although the place was quite busy. I had the octopus burger with fries and he had the red tuna. Everything tasted amazingly and was cooked perfectly. Probably the best meal we...had in Tropea. Highly recommended!More

Located in a beautiful square just outside of a church, BOCA is an exceptional place to have your dinner. From quality of food to service to scenery, you will not be disappointed. Menu offerings go from very casual to very sophisticated, something for everyone. Highly...recommend the local specialties and after eating seafood for a week, we went with meat choices and they did not disappoint. This will be your best meal in Tropea.More

Great location, food and service. Rarely we could expect such a great place in a tourist location. From antipasto to the dessert it was a fantastic journey in the flavors. Service and the attention to the hygiene are a plus difficult to find somewhere else....Bravo!More

This restaurant offers the best potato wedges & chips I have eaten lately. The Filetto meat was great, very tender and cooked as was asked. The Classico hamburger is very tasteful, also kids like it. Very nice place to go back to!

We had a lovely dinner at BO.CA, it was a nice change from pizza & pasta. My daughter really enjoyed her steak entrecôte and my son was rapt to be able to have a hamburger. I can highly recommend the pancetta fries! The home made...wine was great and so reasonably priced. The service was super attentive & helpful. Definitely worth a visit!More
