I thoroughly enjoyed my experience at this genuine Italian eatery. Amazing staff. The menu offers a wide variety of choices and the service is relaxed and friendly. The atmosphere is family friendly too and the service is very accommodating. I recommend this to anyone searching for quality.

I visited this restaurant in October purely because reviewers on Tripadvisor ranked it #1 in Tropea. Having had a few good meals in Tropea already, I was ready to move up a culinary-gear, and I just had to see for myself how "Amazing" this place is. It's not an evening restaurant, but just a lunch-time place to feed sun bathers... More

Great location towards the end of the beach, my husband fell in love with one of their spagetti dishes... Went back day after day on our holiday. Owner is fantastic host along with his staff.. Great facilities for coming off the beach to go to eat. Keep up the good work guys..

Tropical is a fantastic place where a smile awaits you at the entrance, good food at the table and nice atmosphere at the beach... a place where you can feel like home, but with a better view.... You reallyyyyyy shooooooould go there, take lunch too, try all the pasta and the caprese calda. Ohmohohmohm it's so good.

Overall a very good meal - A little out of the way and maybe not a 5 star ambience, but their polipo salad was the best we've had. Good pasta as well, and the house white was passable... perhaps not as amazing as some of the Trip Advisor reviews have made it out to be.

although all of our food in italy has been enjoyable, our experiences at lido tropical were truly exceptional. they included creative, entirely fresh, wonderful dishes, served by warm, engaging, fluent multi-lingual staff. I can't recommend this venue highly enough. run by a beautiful couple with a talented staff.

Francesco will welcome you as a friend to his Lido. They have a good local cuisine and offer a wide variety of drinks and snacks. The chairs and umbrellas are in mint condition and the Lido size is not too big. The chairs are not to close one to the other as it is in other Lido around. Books in... More

We are lucky to have been able to visit Tropea many times over the last 10 years. We have visited many restaurants over this period but have ended up with a repertoire of no more than five or six which we use. Last night we tried a new one......Lido Tropical and it is now definitely on our list. We thought... More

Every time at Lido Tropical was a culinary treat. We looked forward to some nice seafood there, but each time we found the catch of the day was far more than "nice" - it was mouth-watering, fresh and cooked and flavored to perfection. Apparently they have a connection for the freshest seafood caught and brought to market every morning at... More
