The antipasti tropeano is great and huge. In one dish I tasted lots of different local delights. The service is very fast and professional.

Follow your nose (or your ipad, as we did) to find Al Pinturicchio, a fantastic restaurant in the old town of Tropea, with tables set up in the laneway, complete with pictures and pot plants on the walls, creating a delightful atmosphere of being inside but outside. There is also inside seating but it is not as picturesque! The greeting... More

Food fab.... Location fab when you find it...truly a hidden gem. Try hard to use a little of your pigeon Italian it is truly appreciated in this local restaurant

We recently enjoyed a delicious dinner here at Al Pinturicchio. The fish was fresh and nicely prepared, and the eggplant parmesan was one of the best I have ever tasted. We loved the location... in a quiet alleyway that was most quaint. The restaurant was busy with locals and tourists, yet the service was timely but not rushed at all.... More

Arriving into Lamezia Terme airport, ravenous, at 9pm and with an hour or more drive ahead of us, there is only one place to which we are headed and it is not our apartment. Pintchurrio accepts patrons until 10:30-11pm 364 days a year and the quality does not dip, no matter what time of the evening (or year) you arrive.... More

The restaurant is literally just tables set on the narrow little street. Fantastic food. Try the white pizza with tuna. Also had fish, which was exceptional.

Just been to this lovely wee place in the heart of tropea old town. Brilliant setting in old town streets. Fantastic service, lovely house wine. Amazing pizza, special seafood selection with mussels (cozze) cockles and razor fish in the best seafood/ tomato sauce I've ever had. Try the parmagana de melanzoni, brilliant.

Don't listen to the guide books when they mention this place is hard to find...it is not...after all, how big is Tropea? I love the way it is tucked around the corner, the best tables have spilt onto the streets and the seafood is outstanding. Deserves every award it recieves ....hope other travellers sing their praise too.

If eating there in height of Summer, its imperative to get a table out in the courtyard because inside is like a sauna, especially with the pizza oven blazing! Food was excellent, great huge selection of pizza and some lovely side dishes too. Bill was fairly reasonable.
