Harinella restaurante pizzeria — Restaurant in Valencia

We were really looking forward to trying this pizzeria after seeing good reviews online, but the experience was disappointing from the start. We were seated and handed menus without any greeting, explanation, or warmth… just dropped off and left.

It was a late Sunday evening and they mentioned being understaffed, which we understood. To keep things simple, we decided to share a meal. When we went to order, we were told there’s a mandatory policy of one meal and one drink per person. This was apparently written on the menu or QR code, but we were never informed and had only checked the restaurant on Google for images and reviews.

Instead of approaching the situation with flexibility, we were made to feel like we were doing something wrong. They eventually said they’d make an exception, but by that point the atmosphere felt uncomfortable and unwelcoming. We decided to take a pizza to go instead.

We had a fantastic experience at Harinella! We took a peek at the menu, but decided to let our server bring us his recommendations (side note, the dynamic duo of servers was great and incredibly professional). For a party of 2, this consisted of three appetizers, a pasta dish, and a pizza (we were hungry). Everything was perfect, and we were constantly blown away by each dish, especially the orecchiette tartufate.
