The third episode of the popular TV show Quattro Ristoranti takes place in the beautiful seaside location of Tropea, in the province of Vibo Valentia, Calabria. Chef Alessandro Borghese continues his culinary journey down the Italian peninsula, after starting the season in Bassano del Grappa and visiting Umbria in the previous episode. In this episode, four contestants will compete for the highest score based on five evaluations: location, menu, service, bill, and a special dish.
How Does Quattro Ristoranti Work?
In Quattro Ristoranti, the participants provide their judgment on the visited establishment, while the restaurateurs challenge themselves in various aspects. These include the location of the restaurant, the menu it offers, the quality of service provided, the bill, and a special dish or ingredient. This special dish or ingredient is unique to all four contestants and is carefully evaluated by Alessandro Borghese. His vote can either confirm or overturn the final result.
The Contestants and Their Locations
The third episode of Quattro Ristoranti features four restaurants in Tropea:
- Refresh by Pasquale
- Bbb (piccolo Bistrot Beach Bar) by Anna
- Sunset Beach Club of Tropea by Giuseppe

These establishments will showcase the best of Calabrian cuisine and offer unique specialties that represent the gastronomic tradition of the region.
