Gabriel's italian restaurant — Restaurant in Torremolinos

I ordered the tagliata steak with parmesan and the goat’s cheese salad with bacon. Sadly, both dishes were very disappointing.

The steak was cold, tough, and full of gristle, served as two unappetising lumps rather than the sliced, tender dish advertised — it looked nothing like the photos. The parmesan was grated instead of shaved, and the rocket lacked freshness or dressing.

The goat’s cheese salad was also underwhelming — the cheese came as hard chunks instead of soft or warmed, and the whole dish felt thrown together.

On the plus side, service was fine and the price was fair — €54 in total for the steak, salad, a Diavolo pizza, a sangria, and a glass of wine. Unfortunately, despite the reasonable price, the food quality and presentation let the experience down.

Staying locally just up road and we looking for Italian to celebrate out teenagers birthday while away . Called during day and owner was outside and gladly took booking and even allowed us to bring birthday cake for dessert . Really nice guy and on night we found quaint little Italian nice and busy for March. Great menu choice. And pizza was out of this world . Gave us nice bottle of cava and drinks for kids complimentary also to celebrate his birthday. Overall fantastic experience and would highly recommend especially to families as kids really enjoyed the food also . Give them a try especially if you local to it . Way more reasonable than the marina which full of restaurants. Value for money is amazing . Thanks Gabriel and staff for fantastic evening and look forward to seeing you again on...

Gabriel's was absolutely delicious (kudos to Chef Gabriel). My husband and I discovered this restaurant during a stroll along the beach. Without checking any reviews, we decided to give it a try on a whim. I must say, our pizzas were even better than some we had in Italy. The chef also prepared amazing calamari that was perfectly cooked — tender, not chewy or rubbery. They were accommodating in allowing us to switch ingredients for our Burrata pizza. Our server Natalia was incredibly patient, humble, and hardworking. This is a fantastic place to enjoy an authentic pizza and more. Next time, we'll try to save room...
