Troppo - Lansing

The first time in troppo, and the food and service was amazing. recommend the Calamari Appetizer. flavor and presentation were wonderful.

Stopped by for a quick lunch and decided to go for the cup of tomatoe bisque. Was very good actually. Next time will order the bowl!

The food is sub-pair at best, and when you look into the kitchen and around the restaurant you can see why.. there is no pride, no passion, and no customers.. this company with their slop shops. Troppo's have become inconsequential and irrelevant . This is 4 days of wonderful homemade squash soup. (Burn by Chef Becky Jones). (See photes) the current head chef dan rey) menus are basic at best, you can see he(dan rey) has pick off other menu in the area and has fallen flat.. all (dan rey's) restaurants are empty (all) just because troppo's feeds the parasites of the Capital and House, didn't give (dan) clairvoyance to the food scene on the east side of the state.. His standard is fast, fast, frozen, pre made and reheated... I appreciated in Lincoln, Nebraska and everything I did was from scratch.. I have won more awards then troppo's.

Troppo wine poor (small pour) Longhorn poor (larger pour) Troppo cost $9.00 Longhorn cost $6.00 Similar wines. The bartender was offended when I asked about the wine pour. What ever happened to common sense and courtesy requirements when hiring people. This restaurant needs to revisit how to make customers feel welcome. Customers are your life blood and with today’s social media , staff should be extra kind and welcoming. Troppo is starting to get a reputation for treating the customers poorly.

We will not return. Had I used the bathroom before eating, I would not have eaten there. It was mid afternoon and empty inside; however, the bathrooms were nasty, no soap (water was in the bottle) and vomit all over the stalls. The manager (who denied he was manager) seemed only to pacify us with our concerns. It was also very unfortunate that items on the menu couldn't be ordered. We often dine at many different restaurants across our wonderful state... This is at the bottom.
