Time Maspalomas — Restaurant in San Bartolomé de Tirajana

Was so excited to eat at this place considering the reviews , also wanted something different from what the hotel had to offer , being Italian I'm always scared to try Italian restaurant abroad , when we got sat by someone kind careless about welcoming customer I then found out immediately that our waiter along with the rest of the stuff was not very far from where I'm from in Italy ( Gravina ) so I immediately lost my worrying because I thought I was going to have an excellent meal , imagining a grandma cook or at least a great cook with great recipes in the kitchen , But unfortunately was not the case for anything we order , we started with an eggplant parmigiana which I generally never order but my friend insisted , it was heavy in condiments and completely cold in the middle the extra cheese on top didn't even melt which makes me think this are prepared cut portion stored in freezer or fridge ( old not fresh ) then we ordered tagliatelle with some sort of mushroom sauce but the pasta that is supposed to be freshly made , was super thick and hard to eat not super light like fresh pasta is supposed to be, also cold by the time it got to us ! We ended with a pizza with artichoke but we got probably a frozen pre-made pale with cheap mozzarella and also served cold we asked to have it extra cook but still didn't help , the wine selections are very bad we tried 3 selections but we assume poorly stored and sweet in taste The service of one of the waiters was super nice butt the rest was not great at all super disappointed by the whole experience and would not recommend this place to anyone . Ero così entusiasta di mangiare in questo posto considerando le recensioni, volevo anche qualcosa di diverso da quello che l'hotel aveva da offrire, essendo italiano ho sempre paura di provare un ristorante italiano all'estero, quando siamo stati seduti da un cameriere che non conosce cose l'accoglienza ho scoperto subito che il nostro cameriere insieme al resto del personale non era molto lontano da dove vengo in Italia (Gravina) quindi ho subito perso ogni preoccupazione perché pensavo che avrei fatto un ottimo pasto immaginando una nonna cuoco o almeno un ottimo cuoco con ottime ricette in cucina, Ma sfortunatamente non è stato il caso di tutto ciò che abbiamo ordinato, abbiamo iniziato con una parmigiana di melanzane che generalmente non ordino mai ma il mio amico ha insistito, era pesante di condimenti e completamente fredda al centro, l'extra formaggio sopra non si era nemmeno sciolto , Penso che questa era una porzione tagliata preparata conservata nel freezer o nel frigorifero (vecchia non fresca), dopo abbiamo ordinato le tagliatelle con una sorta di salsa ai funghi ma la pasta che dovrebbe essere appena fatta, era molto densa e difficile da mangiare, non super leggera come quella fresca dovrebbe essere , anche questa freddo quando è arrivata al tavolo ! Abbiamo finito con una pizza con carciofi ma probabilmente abbiamo preso una pizza già pronta surgelata con mozzarella economica e servita anche fredda, abbiamo chiesto di farla cuocere di più ma non è stato d'aiuto, la selezione di vini è pessima, abbiamo provato 3 selezioni ma assumo che è scarsamente conservato perché avevano tutti un sapore dolciastro Il servizio di uno dei camerieri era super gentile, ma il resto non era affatto accogliente o avevano voglia di lavorare , molto deluso dall'intera esperienza e non consiglierei questo...

To expensive for what is offered. We liked it but didn't love it. It was ok. We ordered as starter bruschetta and foie gras. Both have bread in the dish. After the order we got some really nice home made bread and good olive oil. We had a little taste of it but because we ordered starters with bread we left most of it. It was a shame because it tasted really nice. We would have appreciated if the waitress would have informed us in advance. As main we ordered pork cheeks with risotto and a suggestion black tagliatelli with fresh seefood. We got grilled pork shoulder with potato's and a little bit of warm vegetables. The friendly waitress wanted to return the dish but we didn't want to wait so we took the dish. They offered a koffee or grappa as appology which was nice. Meat was cooked well. Tagliatelle was also cooked wel but the sauce didn't make me happy. I missed a good broth as base of the sauce and the fish was overcooked. Conclusion: Service is friendly, food was ok but not great. Pictures on the site don t match the dishes we got. It didn t match our...

A small but lovely Italian restaurant. The staff are helpful and the food is great, I would, however, suggest a few more vegetarian main courses. I had the Aubergine A La Parmigiana to start with which was lovely although I would have preferred it a little hotter as it was just warm, I then had Gorgonzola Gnocchi with walnuts which was very tasty but very rich. My partner had the marinaded Salmon in Orange and Aperol to start with and said it was very good, he then had the Gnocchi with Prawn and Scampi which he said was very tasty but a bit fiddly for him as they were huge whole prawns, legs and everything. I finished with Tiramisu, which was one of the best I've had. I also had one of the best white wines I've tasted, I don't like dry wine, so the waiter recommended this one. I've taken a photo. A great meal which cost just under €100 for 2 starters, 2 main courses, 1 dessert and 5 glasses of wine. Nb. For some reason I've not got pictures of the...
