Tropea, one of The Good Food Guide’s Best 100 Local Restaurants 2024, has announced that it will reopen on Tuesday 24 September further to its extension into the premises next door.

The popular neighbourhood restaurant has added 25 more covers in total and will also open for lunch on Fridays.  The extension will enable the Tropea team to reserve a number of walk-in tables for regulars and locals and also includes a new bar for guests to sit at and enjoy a drink.

Tropea is the creation of Ben Robinson Young and Kasia Piatkowska, who met whilst studying Culinary Arts at the University College Birmingham in 2010. Inspired by a picturesque town on the Calabrian coast, Tropea’s (pronounced Tro-Pey-Ah) menu is heavily influenced by regional dishes made throughout Italy, with much of the produce sourced from the country.

Thanks to the extension, the kitchen space has doubled in size, allowing for new kitchen equipment that will enhance the Tropea experience. The new menu will showcase dishes such as Beef carpaccio, Sicilian Arancino with butternut squash, Sardines ‘in soar’ on crostini and Sardinian fregola pasta with chilli and native mussels.
