Not italian, low quality, expensive

Update following your response It’s not a matter of being Italian or not – the issue is simply misleading advertising. These are not Italian products, and despite your insistence on saying so, one only needs to taste your dishes to realize it. Starting with the pizzas: they had everything on top except Italian ingredients. I saw so-called “carbonara” pizzas with onion, pizzas with cheddar cheese, pizzas with chicken… and I won’t go on listing more.

Of course, everyone is free to eat what they like, and every restaurant can serve whatever they feel best represents them. However, it would be more honest to avoid labeling something as “Italian” when it clearly isn’t. Outside your place, you display the Italian flag and promote your cuisine as Italian, but it is not. I doubt your ingredients are imported from Italy, or even homemade – they are clearly ready-made products. I tried your starter of “arancini” and similar fried items, and they were OBVIOUSLY frozen products, not freshly prepared, and certainly not Italian.

A pizza dough recipe alone does not guarantee product quality or authenticity. Take the burrata, for example: it was clearly an industrial supermarket product. There is a clear difference between something from a dairy producer and something from a factory. Buying supermarket items with an Italian flag on the packaging does not mean you are offering genuine imports from Italy.

And what about the pesto in a jar, when it can be made in two minutes with just four fresh ingredients?

Please note that the only reason I didn’t elaborate earlier wasn’t a lack of arguments, but simply because I was left speechless: nothing matched the image you present. I thought it would be more polite to keep my feedback short and direct, but since you seem to prefer constructive criticism, here it is.

I maintain...

High quality pizza. Lots of different beers in addition to pizza.. Wifi. TV with children's programs. Furnished with tall, rectangular wooden tables for four persons each, easily combined for any group. Some chairs for children. Very originally​ designed smoking lounge that hides the actual restaurant and warrants a visit in itself. Third day here in a row, since two of the nearby Restaurants turned out to have gone out of business. This time there are some pictures from the TV and the interior of the fascinating smoking lounge. There's also a TV in the restaurant itself. right now it's full of people, several families with small children and a group of 10-12 30- something's assembled together round some tables put together fo the occasion. Everyone is talking, but the volume is not high, the TV's are showing soccer on mute, and there's a barely audible soundtrack playing pop music in the background.

Btw, Da Nonna Nina Restaurante has a homepage directly linking to the now ubiquitous "Take Away" service for...

We loved our meal here!

We were a party of 5, one of which has a dairy allergy. They were happy to check ingredients for us and my son has no reactions.

The pizzas are massive, the children ordered medium and nobody was close to finishing them. They offer to box it up for you should you wish.

Coke is ice cold and comes in a glass bottle which is always a big plus for us!

The staff were very attentive and great with the children, even providing a lucky dip of toys at the end of the meal.

Has good Aircon which is an absolute must on a hot Spanish day.

Location is great, especially if you're visiting the illusion museum!

Only negative was the toilet area. It was very dark upstairs, so had to use our phone torches to find it.

Price came to less than I expected for the 5 of us, under 100 euros.

Will definitely return again and will just order smaller...
