Pizzería La Locanda — Restaurant in Estepona

Had a strange evening here. The Pizza’s were outstanding, the starters very good, but the service left a lot to be desired. The front of house seemed to be run entirely by a teenage boy who, while not unfriendly, certainly could have been more attentive. The place wasn’t busy and I understand being a waiter is boring but even when it came to paying the bill, I had to get up from the table and go and find him. He was sat outside the restaurant with what I assume were friends and family, chatting. What makes this night grimly memorable is that it was the night The Queen died. We were sat at our table, phones pinging with WhatsApp messages & texts telling us the news. Our you waiter bounds over to our table unexpectedly, with a huge smile on his face, and asks us “Where are you from?” “England” we answer. “The Queen, she is dead” “Yes, we know. Very sad” “Eh, she had to die at some point. Very old” Walks off with a huge grin

I’m no lover of the monarchy. In fact, I hate the idea of it. But, I found this behaviour really poor from the boy serving us. Really disrespectful.

Finally a true Neapolitan pizza ! For 'connoisseurs' of the Naples pizza this is heaven or 'Paradiso' on the Costa del Sol. Pizzaiolo Vincenzo prepares for you delicious pizzas faithful to the tradition. All the classics are present and also 2 'gourmet' versions with delicate and slightly more prestigious ingredients for a special treat of your palate. The crust is wonderful with a wild bubbly character that reminds you of the mountains in the Naples bay, the inside is soft, light and with an airiness that lifts you to higher degustation atmospheres. The long fermentation guarantees you a taste and digestibility not found in 'ordinary' pizzas. The service is very friendly and personal, and also Pizzaiolo Vincenzo makes time to explain you gently his signature pizza. For lovers of Neapolitan pizza a must, without the need to...

Although it is in the heart of Cancelada, it is quite hidden.. So you might miss this out when you pass by, let's say, going to Estepona or Marbella.

But when you walk through this restaurant, the aroma of freshly baked pizza is so enticing.

It is an authentic Italian pizzeria where, based on the story i had from the family member of one of the owners (alongside with my experience and gastronomic journey while enjoying my pizza and wine) had their own heirloom recipes and flavors which are passed on from generation to generation.

What can I really say? Approved!

Molto bene! altamente...
