O Sole Mio Mesa y López — Restaurant in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria

This was the worst experience I have had in my life. We were 5 seniors sitting down for lunch yesterday and there was first of all no air conditioning no fan on such a hot day inside the restaurant. We waited 20 mins asked for a beer no one came to our table Only 2 waiters, and they were attending to others who came in later. We were trying to get the servers attention when a customer sitting on the next table with her young daughter, screamed at us hurling insults and saying we had no manners and that we were being rude in our getting the calling out to get service. We were shocked and explained that we were politely waiting our turns and were in no way rude . This customer did not stop shouting. A few mins the head waiter came to us and yelled at us saying they were only 2 of them serving the whole restaurant and if we were not patient we could go elsewhere . He was so rude and literally told us to leave! We had no choice but to leave after this scene with the head waiter or owner. We asked to pay for 1 beer and water which was brought to us and they were not interested, so we walked out in front of the customers. We are polite and respectful seniors all in our 80’s and were shocked by this ill mannered disrespectful treatment. We have never been through such a scene in all our life. I don’t recommend this restaurant to anyone. The management should take some action that this never happens ever again to anyone. It...

Don’t ever eat there. It’s no good. We ordered Potatoes (Papas arugadas), not knowing exactly, how they looked like. When they brought the dish we ate it, being very hungry. We thought it tasted more like cheese than potatoes, what it was. They were fried cheeses (queso fritato) and stuffed us very much. The salad we ordered as a second dish was inedible :( the green leaf salad was covered with a very thick salad dressing and didn’t taste good. The tomatoes of the Caprese Salad were hard and tasted like nothing. The mozzarella tasted really bad. We couldn’t eat any of it. It was also too much food with the fried cheese as a starter. We had asked how big the Caprese was and the waitress told us that it was only 4 peaces, so we ordered two salads. Otherwise we would have shared one. The Caprese then came with 6 Mozzarella an tomatoe-pieces, which we could have shared, butvit was inedible anyway. Don’t ever eat there....

For 15€ each person we had: a very tasty foccacia (it is a must!! We tried the red one), two main dishes (rissotto- OK not very italian I must say typically with all the cheese, and wonderful pasta filled with pear) and 3 drinks (a glass of wine and 2 soft drinks). They welcome us with a smile and served us within perfect timing. I would highly recommend this place. For info, the menu is quite extensive and they also have a terrace available in case you want to have lunch or dinner enjoying the...
