Pizzeria Ginevra — Restaurant in Alicante

I arrived right at opening (20h00) to order a pizza to go, but was told it would take 30 minutes. I didn’t mind waiting, so I asked for a beer. Since it was going to take some time, I asked if I could just eat my pizza there instead. Unfortunately, the experience from that moment was disappointing.

The waitress had to ask the main server, who responded with the most disdainful look and an unpleasant mouth sound to mean “no.” No explanation, no apology. I felt completely dismissed, as if I didn’t matter at all. Ironically, a couple arrived just after me and were allowed to eat outside immediately. It gave me the impression that a single person isn’t welcome to take up a table, which feels like discrimination.

They suggested I could eat inside, but it was scorching hot with no air conditioning. I decided to wait outside, drinking my beer at a high table near the entrance. Every time the main server passed by, he brushed against me without even acknowledging my presence. Not a single word. I ended up waiting more than 45 minutes for one pizza.

On top of that, the pricing is confusing: the Sapore di Mare pizza costs €14 on the restaurant menu, it used to be 12€ but they manually modified it to be 14€, while online it’s listed at €12. Also, it’s not available in a family size, which is fine, but the online menu should be updated to reflect that as well.

To be fair, the pizza itself was good in flavor, but smaller than expected-especially for €14. It didn’t even fill the box. For a seaside city like Alicante, a seafood pizza at that price and size feels underwhelming and a rip-off.

Overall: good taste, but very poor service, lack of respect for solo diners, and unclear pricing. A real shame, I will not go back and I suggest to look carefully before choosing...

What a find! This is definitely a local place in a primarily Spanish speaking neighborhood. I was walking around looking for a different place to eat and I came across the restaurant. Though my initial server had some issues with basic English since my basic Spanish wasn't working very well, he brought over a different server who had a pretty good grasp of the English language and was able to recommend and handle my order. She was an excellent server and took care of all my needs. I had the tagliatelle alla bolognese since it was with homemade pasta that made it even better. I talked to some other people in the restaurant who visited the restaurant often and they said how amazing the restaurant truly was. I could see this was a neighborhood gem and I hope to come back again for another meal in this fine restaurant. I highly recommend...

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ¡Una experiencia gastronómica de primera clase en Ginevra!

Hace poco tuve la oportunidad de visitar la pizzería Ginevra, y puedo decir sin dudarlo que fue una de las mejores experiencias culinarias que he tenido. Desde el momento en que entramos, el ambiente acogedor y moderno nos hizo sentir como en casa. La decoración tiene ese equilibrio perfecto entre lo elegante y lo relajado, ideal tanto para una cena en familia como para una noche con amigos.

Servicio excepcional: El personal fue sumamente amable y atento en todo momento. Nos recibieron con una sonrisa genuina y nos ayudaron a elegir los platos según nuestros gustos. Además, se notaba que conocen a la perfección el menú y ofrecen recomendaciones sinceras y precisas.

Las pizzas, simplemente espectaculares: La variedad del menú es amplia, con opciones clásicas y combinaciones más creativas que sorprendieron a nuestro paladar. Pedimos una “Margarita”, que tenía una base crujiente por fuera y suave por dentro, con una salsa de tomate natural y mozzarella de excelente calidad. También probamos una pizza especial de la casa con ingredientes frescos y una mezcla de sabores que se complementaban a la perfección. La masa tenía ese sabor y textura que solo se logra con fermentación lenta y una buena técnica al hornear.

Calidad de los ingredientes: Se nota que en Ginevra cuidan mucho los detalles y apuestan por productos de alta calidad. Los ingredientes frescos, las hierbas aromáticas recién cortadas y el queso fundido a la perfección hicieron que cada bocado fuera una delicia.

Postres para cerrar con broche de oro: No pudimos resistirnos a probar los postres y quedamos encantados. La “panna cotta” y el “tiramisú” estaban deliciosos, con sabores auténticos y una textura impecable. Realmente fue el final perfecto para una comida maravillosa.

Relación calidad-precio: Los precios son razonables considerando la calidad de los alimentos y el excelente servicio. Además, las porciones son generosas, por lo que la experiencia se siente aún más satisfactoria.

Definitivamente, Ginevra no es solo una pizzería más: es un lugar donde cada detalle está pensado para ofrecer una experiencia memorable. ¡Altamente recomendable y sin duda...
