Editors Comment

This restaurant was one of the first Italian restaurants in Estepona.

I’ve been many times and I’ve always enjoyed it. They serve a good selection of Italian food so expect Pizza and freshly made pasta.

It’s very popular so you’ll need to reserve a table before you visit.

On my last visit (the one in the video) they did overcook my pizza a little (it was a bit black on the bottom). They cooked me another one really quickly so I wasn’t too worried. They were very busy that night.

Certainly worth a visit.

A classic well established Italian Restaurant that’s always busy

What we like

The fresh pasta
Friendly efficient service
Central location on Calle Real
Lots of seating inside and out

What we don’t like

You need to book
Can be very busy

customer service by waiters is one big misunderstanding. The gentleman who is working today on the afternoon shift should not be working with people. anyone who is thinking of coming here, give it up. it’s a waste of your nerves and health. waiters are a misunderstanding.

Absolutely shocked that place like this can have so rude staff. Your huge mistake is being rude. Maybe you’re super rude or you don’t know how to run a restaurant. But I think your main problem is uneducated staff. Very disappointing

A waiter who claims to be the restaurant’s boss displays extraordinary ignorance toward customers. Disrespectful and abrasive.

The food is good, but the service—especially the man who works there—behaves without the slightest respect for the customers. In conversation, they are abrasive, even insolent. The person in charge of the afternoon/evening shift is downright rude to the customers. A restaurant is a place where not only the quality of the food served is important, but also the atmosphere within the establishment: the relationship between staff and customers. The waiter’s personal culture should be BASIC! I’ve already seen situations at this restaurant where customers dissatisfied with the service have left. I think it’s reached its limit. Nowhere else have I encountered such verbal aggression, spiteful attitude, and brusqueness from a waiter.
Their food tastes good, but the service needs to improve a lot. I don’t recommend it.

The Food

Expect all your favorite Italian food like Pizza and Pasta.

The pasta is particularly good and something we always order when we visit.

Delicious Fresh Pasta
Pizzas are good
Italian rice dishes also available
Good dessert selection (but expensive)

In summary, they offer all the Italian classics you’d expect.

The Location

This restaurant is located on Calle Real, a bustling street only a one-minute walk from the beach. It’s very easy to find.

They have inside space, too.

Easy to find old town location
Lots of outside seating
Close to parking and the beach

They are open every day. They get very busy so booking is essential.
