L’Ammurrata Restaurant overlooks the sea directly: a terrace where the sunset is part of the menu and every table faces the horizon. It is the restaurant of Le Roccette Mare, sharing its very spirit: genuine hospitality, attention to people, and that distinctive Calabrian kindness that cannot be learned, only inherited. The cuisine weaves together the flavours of the local territory with the great classics of Italian tradition. The catch of the day and Tropea red onions sit alongside properly made pasta dishes and timeless recipes that need no introduction: carefully selected ingredients, seasonality, and simplicity done well.
Breakfast
The day at Le Roccette Mare begins here: a carefully prepared buffet featuring sweet and savoury selections, fresh products, and local specialties, to be enjoyed at a leisurely pace while overlooking the sea. The perfect way to decide, without hurry, how to spend the day ahead.
Dinner
For guests choosing the half-board option, in the evening L’Ammurrata sets its tables on the terrace: a menu that alternates between Calabrian and Italian cuisine, with dishes that change according to the market and the seasons. Dinner becomes part of the stay itself, the moment when a day by the sea comes to a close exactly as it should.
And for lunch?
No problem at all. Our guests can find two different options: the same Restaurant L’Ammurrata, with an à la carte menu featuring first courses and main dishes based on fresh seafood and local specialties; enjoy La Rotonda Bar Bistro, where salads, ready-made dishes, and snacks are available.
What does Ammurrata mean?
Rough sea. You see a big wave coming. Everyone is afraid of being swept away by the wave and the current. But you stay there, you’re waiting … in the water … then you take the wave and ride it just to go swimming in these breaking waters.
This is the meaning of Ammurrata, this is the adrenaline rush of the Tropean people who take a bath in the rough sea in front of this beach.
