Eat Italy — Restaurant in Nerja

We chose this restaurant for dinner because of the many positive reviews we had seen. As for the space, it’s small but nicely decorated, and the atmosphere is pleasant. The two ladies who served us were very friendly, so the service was good as well.

The problem started when the food arrived... We ordered a carbonara pasta, a lasagna, and codfish ravioli.

The carbonara didn’t have the classic ingredients of a true carbonara — it wasn’t authentic. That said, the taste was okay, but it was overpriced for what it was. The ravioli were also just okay; the pasta was a bit hard, and the sauce lacked flavor, although you could taste the freshness of the codfish.

The worst part was the lasagna. From the very first bite, we realized they were serving us a supermarket lasagna — specifically from Mercadona — for €12 in what’s supposed to be an “authentic” Italian restaurant. Serving a supermarket lasagna makes it impossible to give more than one star, despite some positive aspects. You simply cannot serve a store-bought lasagna to customers.

At the end, I ordered an Italian espresso, which — surprise — came from a capsule machine... On a positive note, the tiramisu stood out. I don’t know if it was homemade or store-bought as well, but it was really good — in fact, the only truly Italian part of the meal.

Great Atmosphere, beautiful decorations and I must appreciate the fan they put out on such a hot day.

The food was Amazing, I ate a Blanca pizza (Half portion) while the person I was dining with ate Carbonara I can barely complain about anything regarding the food.

The waitress was so nice and just a kind hearted person and I would definitely recommend this Amazing restaurant to anyone who is in the area and is in the mood for the best food...

Food is good but a bit expensive, table service a bit lax (you have to ask for everything, even oil, pepper and salt). Quite often closed (for a rest), so a bit haphazard as to if it will be open. Sign by the road says they do ‘full English Breakfast’ which they obviously don’t as never open before 18.30 and often not even then! Could be really good just need’s organising properly - hope they get their...
