De Minimi
De' Minimi
The only restaurant in Tropea listed in the Michelin Guide, set in Villa Paola, a former monastery, and serving contemporary Calabrian tasting menus.
Located at Villa Paola, a hotel on the hillside outside the old town. The building was once a Minim monastery. Listed in the Michelin Guide, the restaurant uses produce and citrus grown in its garden to create modern, slightly inventive Calabrian dishes. Tasting menus range from four to nine courses. Red onion, nduja, swordfish and Pecorino del Poro often appear. The tasting menu costs about €95 per person and up, with wine pairing an extra €40–50. The dining room is small and quiet, with a view of the garden. In summer, book more than two weeks ahead through TheFork. Closed Tuesdays. It is a few minutes' taxi ride from the old town.
