| 1 | Tropea | ★4.8520 |
Recently visited with friends for my birthday and every single thing about our time at Tropea exceeded all my expectations. Every element of all the dishes we had were absolutely incredible; the chap who looked after us and took the time to recommend what to order and how much to order really made the night; made us feel relaxed and welcome, he was funny and entertaining.Google review · J.R. · verbatim | ||

Ask DOW on ChatGPTDOW ranks venues with a 100-point Hot Score, recalculated monthly from live Google data. Three signals, in this order: written review activity — text reviews over 50 characters in the last 90 days, the heaviest by some distance; the standing Google rating from 4.0 up; and Google Business Profile completeness — phone, website, opening hours, description, photos and categories. In Portugal and Spain, reviews written in the city's own language carry more weight than English ones. We don't publish the exact weightings: a formula you can compute backwards is one you can farm.
