al Papero d'Oro — Restaurant in Tropea

The service here is absolutely terrible! The two women that work here are the rudest people I ever encountered in my life. They act like you're bothering them when ordering food & giving them business. I asked for salad dressing because they didn't give me any. She expected me to eat plain lettuce without anything on it.

Lettuce old and brown and wilted. Absolutely, the worst I have ever had in all of Italy. My hands still smell fishy. You can see the curl of black skin I pulled off and the dead brown limp lettuce. Disgusting!! When I told the girl, she just just shrugged and...

I agree with the other comments, the food is not even average and expensive. They just benefit from the location. 24,5€ for 1 sandwich, polpette with tomato sauce and a little bottle of water. The polpette are the cheap meat balls that probably come from the cheapest frozen bag. The tomato sauce was not even prepared, just something taken out of the tin can. The sandwich was with pecorino cheese, something with no taste, the mushrooms were from the antipasti jar but the oil was also thrown in the sandwich and the bresaola...
