Restaurante Unico — Restaurant in Nerja

From the first effusive smile from the co-owner, Alecia, as she seated us, to the mouth watering desert of pistachio infused marscapone, our dining experience was the best we've had in Nerja after two weeks of exploring. The place is tastefully decorated and feels warm and cozy. With beautifully presented, delicately seasoned, and freshly harvested ingredients, the three appetizers (salmon tartar, mushroom filo dough tartlet, baked goat cheese salad) I savored were rivaled only by the perfectly cooked sea bass clearly made with love by co-owner, chef, Allesandro (Alejandro?). The Dutch couple seated next to us said they had eaten at Unico four nights in a row. I understand why and will attempt to...

I’ll be honest - this wasn’t the restaurant we initially tried to go to! All I can say is: thank god the other one was full! We have been here a week - this is by FAR the best dinner we have had. The menu is super simple - but done to perfection! Huge compliments to the chef. Also worth noting is the service. There were two servers this evening. Both of which were soo attentive, warm and a pleasure to speak with. The bill was incredibly reasonable too. I was actually expecting to pay double! My only point would be the restaurant aesthetic - doesn’t do the experience justice. Get this right and they will be unstoppable! Thank you for a wonderful evening!...

Very disappointed. We know the owners Alicia and Alex very well and have visited since they opened. They are lovely people however booked a table on our last night for 9.00pm. Table not available when we arrived. People at our table still eating desert with no idea when they would vacate although told this would be 5 minutes!! We waited more than 10 minutes at emergency table waiting and made decision to leave. Very upset by having to do this but at the end of the day we are paying customers who were treated very badly. Thought better of Alicia to do this to myself and husband Ramon. Unsure whether feel comfortable visiting again next...
