Had a very good lunch yesterday. We both had excellent prawn cocktails. My husband had roast beef and I had chicken breast with a mushroom sauce. I then had a lovely fresh lemon sorbet and my husband had the trifle. It was a roasting hot day but the restaurant was cool with ceiling fans and air conditioning. We will definitely be back.

Forget the negative reviews here, they refer to the previous owners. This is now an Italian style restaurant and far away from a pizzaria too. We gave it a go as 2 couples because another local restaurant was closed. The owners here are focusing on typical gastronomy from the region of Napoli. The quality of the menu is excellent at this level of price. Yes the 3 course menu is more than the local average but the quality excels so if good food is your priority, this is a restaurant of choice. The venue is rustic in style and the service is welcoming, warm, friendly and attentive. We think this is something of an Italian gem within a Spanish setting and is a must if you enjoy really good and passionate food at a level that is above the norm.
