Arte Restobar — Restaurant in Calp

Ok long review coming One of the Worst Dining Experiences I’ve Had – and I’ve Worked in Hospitality for 15 Years

I rarely leave negative reviews, but this experience was too poor to ignore. Despite the restaurant being somewhat empty, we were reluctantly given the window table without explanation ( sorry su pongo was the response from the waitress) The waiteress was not just unaccommodating—she was actively rude, as if our presence was an inconvenience. It set a sour tone before we even ordered.

Drinks took an absurdly long time to arrive, with no apology or acknowledgment of the delay. When the desserts finally came, they were not in the refreshing, intentional way, but in the “just taken out of the freezer” way. Honestly, I’ve had better desserts from a supermarket freezer aisle.

As someone with over 15 years in the industry, I know what decent service looks like, and this wasn’t even close. A highway service station would have shown more courtesy and efficiency.

Do yourself a favor and skip this place. Plenty of other restaurants actually want your business—and know how to treat customers with basic respect.

We make it a tradition to visit Arte Restobar every time we’re in Calpe—typically once or twice a year since 2019—and it never disappoints. The staff is young, dynamic, and incredibly motivated, making each dining experience a pleasure. I had the chance to meet the owner, who is both kind and humble. The pricing is very fair, even a bit undervalued for the quality offered—excellent value in my opinion.

The pizzas here are exceptional, possibly the best in Calpe with a touch of Neapolitan style, and the burgers are top-notch—especially the Arte Burger, Avocado Burger, and Extreme Burger. Over the years, Arte Restobar has grown in popularity, creating a lively and welcoming atmosphere. The ambiance is wonderfully international and diverse, attracting both young guests and a more senior crowd. Can’t wait to return next spring!...

We walked quite a distance to get here having been reading decent reviews .. we didn't have a starter. Drinks came out quickly I had seafood tagliatelle was ok nothing special and very few prawns hubby had the extreme burger it was nice beef pattiesx3 spoilt by the fact that they put boiled onions straight onto the bottom layer of bread before a beef patty meaning the bread was very soggy and couldn't be picked up I also ordered a desert.. pavlova but it never arrived.. checked bill not charged for it We wouldn't reccomend as was over 43 euros and we think it was expensive for what it was ! We will stick to our old favourite of ENJOY restaurant in altea fab food great service and...
