Fantastic... I had the Campesina pizza with goats cheese and it was delicious, we also had a great pepperoni pizza and an awesome tiramisu, the service was quick and friendly, with views of the sea from the terrace, the only thing that I'd offer constructive criticism about is the lack of plants on the terrace... I hope the owners read this and invest in 5 or 6 large plants to add some atmosphere and ambience to the terrace, it will attract more customers and they will pay for themselves in no time, with that being said the food is 5 stars and well recommended :)
Second visit last night to this lovely restaurant, sadly we were the only ones in but it was early! Food awesome, everything tasty & beautifully presented Service wonderful, nothing too much trouble. All in all definitely worth visiting - but bear in mind the portions are huge, but the bill is small!
Our visit was today at lunch 14th/11/24 We had between us a vegetarian pizza (just a little mozzarella)and a campesina pizza. Absolutely fantastic. It was beautifully cooked and so fresh. The pizza base itself was amazing and light Also we had aubergine and honey sticks to start. We had 1 portion to share which was more than enough, but the best I've had. The red ribera wine was really nice too. A very friendly family run restaurant Loved it Will be back soon Thank you
My husband and I had a lovely lunch here. The view was serene, and the service was chilled. Food and wine were delicious. Aubergine chips in honey were gorgeous, and pizzas were proper artisan dough, generously topped with fresh ingredients. The USP, for me as a woman, was the luxurious female bathroom. Perfectly clean and fragrant, but most of all, there were complimentary and beautifully presented female sanitary goods if needed. The owner told me this was his wife's idea. I gave her a wave as she sat at her laptop over a late lunch in a corner of the restaurant. It was all so very Zen, civilised and welcoming after a day on the beach... Will definitely be back (probably with my girls!!).
Came to collect my takeaway and enjoyed a beautiful glass of white wine and was given a stunning and very tasty apperitivo on the house whilst I waited watching the sunset over the sea. The ambience, service and food here are 10/10 and we will definitely be coming back. Seriously fabulous pizzas in a great setting for relaxed dining. Would recommend.
New place on Mojacar Playa gastro map. Very good pizza and customer service. All food brought very fast. Very nice free tapas. I would only change interior to make it more cozy. All the best for owner to keep such quality here.
Lovely lunch here today, staff are really friendly, got a small tapa on the house before our gorgeous pizza’s! White wine was delish too!
