La Pentola d'Oro

Antipasto Calabrese was both artfully plated and composed of delicious slices of cured meats, an eggplant croquette and sundry other delicacies. The swordfish came with a delicious softly chunky sauce of onions and sweet peppers. The side dish of roasted Tropea onions was a caramelized delight. Everyone else loved their secondi too.

I being a person that struggles to speak Italian I always love a place that allows me to make a reservation online. This is an excellent restaurant. The seafood ravioli I had is probably the best dish I've ever tasted in all of Italy. The grilled tuna was very interesting and I loved it. A really wonderful Nigerian fellow works there. He's fluent in English it was helpful. If you're going to dine indoors try the back room instead of the front.

The restaurant seems to have a story. I tried the local pasta “ fileja all’arrabbiata” made with nduja spilinga that is spicy and tasty. My second dish is grilled swordfish. It is delicious too. If you come to Tropea, you could come and try.

Warm, friendly welcome and service, incredible food - the food that I came to Calabria looking for. Thank you.

The food is authentic and good, prices are not too high for the area. A pity that the service was so long.
