    Such a great meal - genuinely Spanish, super high quality food, excellent and very hard working serving staff - just can't fault it - best meal we've had in Alicante. Top recommendation

    I was a bit disappointed by the chicken paella, don’t understand why they removed the duck and red berries paella

    Loved the ambiance and the staff was great. I didn’t enjoy the shrimps for I had to remove the head and tail. Although the presentation is nice I would have liked them better without the head and tail. The octopus needed a little most taste it was bland. The meat was excellent.

    Dinner was nice. Service - exellent. We ordered steaks and paella. Steaks were good, especially sirloin steak. Wine was consonant with food. But… rice in paella was much too salty, so only 4 stars. Generally was OK.

    The food was incredibly tasty. We had garlic prawns and mussels as starters and then seafood and chicken paella. Everything was impeccable, from the wine to the food. We’ll definitely go back.

    Maybe the best restaurant I tried in Alicante: we ate there 4 times during our holidays in Alicante, and every dinner we ordered something different, to test all the menu: everything we ordered was great (I loved the sea paella). We’ll be back when we’ll come in Alicante again.

    We were here for our honeymoon. We weren’t allowed in due to re-opening at 19:30, though when we came, they were letting others in and serving them We didn’t have the warmest welcome, we were told some drinks had ran out though they were still serving them to new arrivals. The Food was covered in salt, found it hard to eat and the fries which came with steak were very greasy and soggy. Steak wasn’t cooked to order, asked for medium/well done and rare arrived, mooing! So this had to be sent back as my partner couldn’t eat what was served. We also had to keep asking for the Green sauce we initially ordered for the steaks. A positive was the red wine we had, very tasty and sweet, fresh bread was also tasty. No management around to speak to, felt rushed and waiters tried to sum up with light joke which felt misplaced.

    Had a wonderful experience. Nothing bad to say; service was lightning quick and super friendly, the food was absolutely delicious and the ambience was ideal. So intimate and well maintained by the staff. We felt catered for and comfortable, and the space itself was super clean and so well laid out. All in all a wonderful night I would 100% recommend! Thank you Picaro 1999 ????

    The food and ambience was amazing. The T-bone steak melts in your mouth and bursts with flavour. Highly recommend to enjoy a dinner here an evening.

    Wife and I made reservations after finding this place on Trip Advisor. They have an extensive menu of meats that are very popular but also many seafood dishes as well. We ended up choosing one of the 5 paella dishes with a carpaccio appetizer and paired with a local wine which was delicious. Service was prompt and friendly and cost inexpensive.

    A cosy, well decorated restaurant. I booked the table on-line - so easy!! The food was excellent, from the salad and calamari starters, to the rice, lamb and sirloin seconds - only one person could manage desert and she said it was delicious. I would just add a couple of negatives to our experience - The paella was put on a raised platform on the table but was quite large and the table quite small. This meant that our plates were, in part, under the paella which was a bit uncomfortable. The other negative was the lights being switched off at 17:15 while we were finishing our coffee. I understand that staff need their rest before the evening bookings but there are much nicer ways to ask people to leave.
