Vino e Cucina — Restaurant in Artà

I recently visited Pizzeria Vino e Cucina, expecting a great pasta experience, but unfortunately, I was very disappointed. I ordered the Arrabbiata, hoping for a tasty tomato sauce that would be mildly spicy, but what I got was far from it. There was barely any sauce on the pasta, and it didn’t look appetizing at all. The flavor was off, as if the sauce came from the cheapest packet you could find in a store, mixed with pasta water and overloaded with cayenne pepper instead of proper chili slices. It was much spicier than it should have been, and to make things worse, the garlic was burned, which ruined the taste even more.

I told them I didn’t want the dish, and to their credit, they didn’t charge me for it. However, the chef’s response was a bit strange—he mentioned that no one had ever complained about the dish before, which I found hard to believe. On top of that, be prepared to wait. After getting our drinks, we waited about 35 to 40 minutes for the food.

As for the pizza, it was just okay, but nothing special. For a pizzeria, I expected them to make their own sauce, but it tasted like they didn’t bother, which was disappointing.

Overall, I can’t recommend this place, especially for pasta. I won’t be...

Nice and fresh, perfect little place to eat lunch or have a light dinner, unlike any of the places in Port Alcudia, that miserable excuse for a beach town. Port Alcudia is to Mallorca what discovering your grandpa actually fought FOR the Nazis and not against them is to the general mood at your yearly family gathering. I don't want to go so far as to say that it's hell on Earth, but it does share a lot of similarities with most comon depictions of purgatory, so while not hellish per se, it does come quite close.

So to summarise;

Vino e Cucina: nice, quiet, friendly and good food. Port Alcudia: the Mallorca equivalent of the New...

Great food but unfurtunately bad and rude service.

We waited 45 min for a pizza! (the couple next to us got their pizza and ate it before us - and they ordered sometime after us) When confronting the staff they try to deny it and told us they were busy and that we could have gone somewhere else or at Eroski cross the street instead of just appologizing or giving us the drinks for free.

We also asked when the marked where closing and the waiter said "tonight", but when we were finishing eating the marked were almost over.

Totally a...
