Restaurante Da Ricardo e Figlia — Restaurant in el Campello

I have been here at least a dozen times, and have never been disappointed. The pizzas in particular are not only well-cooked, but the speciality topping combos work really well. The pasta dishes I have eaten have been equally well executed. I'm vegetarian, so cannot comment on the fish and meat dishes. As for service, the staff are locals and never seem to change; they are absolutely professional. Location - pretty much in the centre of the paseo - cannot be faulted. It tends to be open when others have closed for the season - although not during the week in winter. One issue in peak season is that, being so popular, it can fill up quickly. Think about getting there early / late on...

Nice Italian place, same comment as other people about the name change. Had family dinner, service was on point 👍 young server seating us was very polite, spoke 4 languages! Entrés, drinks and main was good timing. Did not manage to get photos of all plates but pizzas 🍕 was very good, yes even with 🍍. Pasta for the kids was good taste but huge portion! Price point is ok 10-20€/person. Only drawback from 5 stars was menu not in English and i would say the meat dishes was very standard with a small salad and fries. Could definitely up the game on...

¡A evitar absolutamente!

Todo empezaba bien: una camarera simpática, una mesa encontrada rápidamente bajo un ventilador y un servicio rápido. Pero ya con el pan entendimos que iba a acabar mal: seco, sin sabor, malo.

Luego, los platos: Risotto: insípido, sin ningún sabor, incluso después de añadir pimienta, parmesano y sal. Incomible. Ñoquis al “pesto”: salvo que no había pesto (o muy poco). Salsa sosa, de un color dudoso amarillo, plato sin interés. Pizza margarita: una vergüenza para un restaurante italiano. Sabor de pizza industrial, la masa seguramente congelada. Entrecot con patatas fritas: lo único correcto… y ni siquiera es un plato italiano. Que fuerte.

Cuando señalé la calidad desastrosa del risotto y del conjunto, la única respuesta de la “jefa” (que también es la camarera) fue: “lo sentimos, disculpe”. Como una confesión de que saben lo que sirven.

Conclusión: este restaurante se presenta como italiano, pero solo tiene el nombre. Es comida sosa, sin alma, que se parece más a una trampa para turistas que a cocina. Lo único bueno: no me cobraron el risotto, menos mal.

Turistas: no perdáis vuestro tiempo ni vuestro dinero aquí. El Campello está lleno de sitios...
