What our customers say

Beautiful meal here. We came for the gluten free and were amazed at how good the food was. The staff were incredibly friendly and the service was excellent all round. The gluten free bruschetta with tomato and mozzarella was worth the trip from New Zealand alone.

Top quality! Very good restaurant just by the Balcon. Genuine Italian food and staff. When we where deciding the wine the waiter brought 3 bottles and created a little wine tasting for us! So nice! The pasta and meat was super fresh and top quality!

Perfect visits! The owner Paulo is A DELIGHT. his easy humour is lovely and he was so attentive. He made it very easy to work around my dietary requirements - the gluten free and lactose free pizza is some of the best I've EVER EATEN - so much so we went back a few days later!

Family dinner together relaxing on holidays from Australia & this no doubt has topped all other restaurants in the area! They care about service, very clean, they enjoyed humor with our kids, menu was absolutely delicious & everyone loved their dessert - me especially with the last tiramisu! Finally... the best cappuccino in Spain! Loved

The food here is excellent and very satisfying. The owner greeted us nicely and played a few pranks on us, fun! The other staff members were also very nice to us. It was very cozy to sit outside and it was nicely decorated inside. The food was given full points from everyone in my family and all plates were empty when we were finished. They also let us change anything in the menu. This restaurant is a must go to and I could definitely say this is one of the best restaurants in Nerja!
