La barra del puerto — Restaurant in Dénia

We just had lunch in Denia at Il Mediterraneo. Location and decor were fantastic, server was very nice. Food a solid 2. We had the menu on the day. First course of egg plant parm looked ver nice but was very undercooked and lacking in flavor. Hard to cut with a knife. I think the chef was a bit confussed, Pizza with bologneise sauce and pasta diavola?? This is backwards. Pizza should have been diavola and the pasta should have been Bolognese. First time I have ever seen this. Meat sauce does not belong on pizza. Does not work. Pasta was very overcooked and "diavola sauce" was just weird. We have been in denia for a month and every meal except for two exceeded...

Possibly the worse meal I have had out in years. Apparently they have a new chef (one that can’t cook). Nasty wet pizza, and something that tasted like if you were at home and had nothing in, but some old pasta and no seasoning. Oh but it cost 17 euros a head for the nasty tiny portion of pasta. It was bad. We complained. The staff argued with us, well, one did, the other said he was sorry (a lot). They could have said sorry and knocked a couple of euros off, but they stuck to their guns and insisted that the wet pizza was ‘oil’. Mmm well that’s ok then! Anyway it was awful,...

We went here for dinner today. The place is super cozy and comfortable. I really liked the decoration and table setting. The staff was super nice and very welcoming. The food was good and not like the usual pizza and pasta you get everywhere. I had rigatoni genovese. Very delicious. My wife had the pizza mediterraneo which was unlike anything we ever had. Honey on pizza? Yes, please! Very good idea :) Also the vitello tonnato was superb! You should definitely give this...
