Porto Bello — Restaurant in Benalmádena

Atmosphere first, absolutely dead every other place was hopping and this was dead. We said we'd give it a try! Bad bad decision!

A young server approached us, must have been relatively new, was taking the order fine but did not understand one thing and asked the owner/manager to help him, he came over tore up our order and started all over again, really really poor for the young guys experience and created an awful controlling manner going forward.

The you guy however delivered spectacularly for everything else so kudos to him.

The food, not fresh at all, we had nachos to start, they where cremated, I understand popping them in the oven/grill to melt the cheese but they came out absolutely stuck to the plate and the chees had hardened, they were the chicken nachos which had a very strange seasons too the chicken kinda like a tumeric paste.

I had the chicken and seafood paella, which apparently is "freshly made" not ! All the meat was from frozen, easily spotted, not only that I evended up with horrendous food poisoning.

Honestly I wouldn't go here again, judge...

The pizza came out first followed by the pasta sauce all looked nice. We sat there eating away when I seen something run across the floor of the restaurant on the inside and it ran under the fan I was not quite sure what it was at first but had a good idea from the size and shape as I had seen them before witch put me off my food right away.

Never again would I eat there and I woukd not recommend it...

if you want to eat garlic risotto accompanied by its frozen seafood 2 steps from the port, this is the perfect place for you! offering frozen seafood in a restaurant located in a port is distressing! forced to be 3 to do scraping to try in vain to fill 1/3 of the restaurant... another thing for the waitress who stares at people, when working in a hotel / restaurant business, not to chew like a cow through the entire room and not to get rid of the crumbs when the whole table has not yet finished are basic rules to respect! The only positive point is the basket of sauces that we bring to you at the beginning of the meal to make it easier to pass the overcooked and...
