La Bolognese — Restaurant in San Bartolomé de Tirajana

We visited this restaurant having seen it on our previous visit to the Island in January. We visited around 8pm on a Saturday night without having made a reservation however seating was plentiful. Glass windows offer a commanding view of the area. We were offered both the a la carte menu and the daily special which was explained well to us. Having ordered drinks we had some garlic bread whilst deciding on our meals, the garlic is strong with that little heat which is just devine. For our starters we had the beef carppaccio and breaded buffalo mozzarella. For our mains we both chose off the special having tortellini and the tagliolini which was finished table side in the parmesan wheel. I must say these meals were amazing, the flavours fresh with depth. The chefs clearly put passion into their food and I could see their faces as they cooked. For dessert we ordered a tiramisu and an espresso. Whilst the deserts are home made the tiramisu was held in the fridge, I would say this is the only thing that let the experience down. We've tasted better. The espresso was excellent and should you have a night out on the town ahead I strongly recommend it as it's rocket fuel. There was a degree of staff training going on but it was open and everything was double checked to ensure accuracy. Whilst many of the meals are of a higher price you really are paying for quality ingredients and experience. There are cheaper meals on menu should you be on a budget and I noted these to be of high quality also when being served. Toilets were very clean and staff most helpful. Special shout out to the chef who we made a point of thanking as they clearly make amazing food but don't always get thanked directly...

We tried to drop in on a Friday night but all seats were reserved so rebooked for our final night in Gran Canaria. This is a top quality restaurant - much better than many more expensive ones down by the beach. Fantastic views. Glad we had our last night here as it was the best food and excellent service. One of the waiters was a child entertainer so he gently interacted with the grandchildren without making a big deal about it. Highly recommend. Food, location, service, atmosphere were all excellent. Prices were reasonable given the quality. I notice there are some reviews that mention it being below an old shopping centre! Perhaps they have moved location because there is no evidence of it being below anything. There are a few steps down and the whole building is taken by the restaurant and looks good...

A lovely place with fantastic views and good service with some dishes theatrically presented with smoke machines and whole parmasan wheels which your tagliatelle is served from, however, my partner didn't enjoy his octopus or seabass with tagliatelle. He said that the octopus was bland and the seabass was chopped up into tiny pieces and mixed in with the tagliatelle so he could hardly taste it. I had a mozzarella and tomato starter, the worst presented and smallest that I've had in Gran Canaria but I loved the cannelloni, which was very tasty. My strongest criticism is, however, the lack of vegetarian options. There were no starters, I had to choose from 2 side dishes and just 2 main courses. Very disappointing. Unfortunately I forgot to photograph the...
