Niño Malo — Restaurant in La Oliva

An enrichment for the epicurean.

The dishes are of the "Fusion Food" type, where the chef truly values originality, and does so without excessive prices. As starters, "Friselle" was served: anchovies and caramelised onion, and foie gras with goat cheese; a fine start.

All in all, highly recommended to all those who not only want to eat, but are open to pleasant surprises and enjoy themselves to the full on top. Niño Malo, but...

Really warm service, the location was also super atmospheric. Polenta amuse-bouche was really nice, as we're the drinks.

Spaghetti Carbonara - quite OK, but they use regular Spaghetti from the supermarket thus impossible to justify the price of 14€.

Japanese Tempura - was good.

Grilled seafood skewers - I would say quite average as ingredients didn't feel fresh.

Free WiFi provided, service was good.

Prices are obviously too high for such quality of food therefore my recommendation is to find another...
