Tropea

A recommendation and it did definitely deliver. We stayed clear of the meat mains as per recommendation so I can’t review that however. Cocktails: Negroni 9/10 Paper Plane 9/10 Antipasti: Sun-dried tomato focaccia 7/10 Bombolone 10:10 Venison carpaccio 10/10 Pasta: Cappellaci 10/10 Linguinie with crab: 8/10 Vegetarian: Aubergine parmigiana 9/10 Beetroot salad 8/10 Dessert: Tirimasu - 9/10 The place is very cosy with nice lighting and the service was impeccable I have to say they were super attentive and chatty which made you feel very at home. Is it expensive ? Yes. But it’s an experience that warrants coming to check it out, I will be back to try more of the menu

Came here for Valentine's day and what a perfect date spot this is! Although the food was incredible, ther service is what really makes this restaurant special. Attentive without being fussy, more than willing to help with recommendations, the quality and passion of the staff shines through. We throughly enjoyed our meal, the prices may look steep at first but coming out to around £50 each for a lunch that kept us both full for the rest of the day was worth it. I really appreciated the size of the menu, showcasing the top quality ingredients and craftsmanship that goes into each dish. I hope to be back- with more people so I can try more dishes!

Huge disappointment. We visited yesterday relying on the Michelin Bib Gourmand recommendation, but it was a total fiasco. We were a party of three, all very familiar with authentic Italian cuisine, and we left completely baffled by how this place made it into the guide. The atmosphere is decent it has a fine-dining vibe without being overly luxurious but the food (the main reason we came) was a massive letdown. We ordered the fried pumpkin, focaccia, burrata salad, and bombolone to start. The only decent item was the burrata. The focaccia was standard, something you’d find anywhere. The rest was poor; we couldn't even finish the bombolone, it was that bad. For mains, the tagliatelle was mediocre, and the steak was completely ordinary nothing you couldn't get at a random steakhouse. Dessert was the final blow: the dark chocolate sorbet was forgettable, and the cannoli felt like an insult to Italian cuisine. It is shocking that Michelin recommends this spot. Honestly, you can find much better, more authentic Italian flavors at a franchise like Eataly. I strictly do not recommend this place. A complete waste of time and expectation.

We visited Tropea for our anniversary and honestly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. The service was incredible. The waiter really went above and beyond to make the evening feel really special. They even personalised our menus with “Happy Anniversary” printed on them, which was such a thoughtful touch. The food was absolutely outstanding. If you love authentic Italian food, this place is an absolute must-visit. We loved the intimate atmosphere and the way the staff made everything feel so thoughtful and personal. Tropea made our anniversary unforgettable. Highly recommend!

This’s my first time to dine at Tropea. We ordered two appetisers, two pasta (one half size and one full size), one main dish and two desserts. The dish I and my kids like most is the crab linguine, it’s really al dente. Tiramisu is our favourite too. However, the duck leg is a bit salty. Overall, the food and service is good.

The best Birmingham has to offer. Food so good, I forgot to even take a picture of it. The staff are exquisite, so attentive. There was a unique energy in the room, you could just tell everyone was loving what they were eating. We had a couple in their 80s next to us, totally in love celebrating their 60th anniversary. And a couple in their 20s the other side, celebrating their 1 year anniversary. Nowhere else could you find a restaurant so full of love for food, for patrons, for each other. Also, enjoy a photo of the best smelling bathroom in Birmingham. It's the only thing I remembered to take a picture of!

I’ve been wanting to try Tropea for a while and finally got the chance to visit for my first anniversary. The food, experience and service were all excellent. I really love the sharing concept since it lets you try a bit of everything, especially for someone like me who enjoys exploring new dishes. The battered courgette, monkfish and baked eggplant were amazing, and the Tropea sundae and dark chocolate sorbet were absolutely 💯

I went to this Italian restaurant yesterday and it was absolutely amazing! The food was an absolute yum full of flavour and perfectly cooked. The dessert was mouth-watering, and the customer service was an ace! Everyone was so friendly and attentive. Definitely coming back again soon! 🍝🍷
