6/10I was a bit disappointed by the chicken paella, don’t understand why they removed the duck and red berries paella

9/10Loved 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.

8.5/10Dinner 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.

9.5/10The 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.

10/10Maybe 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.

5/10We 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.

10/10Had 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 ????

10/10Wife 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.

10/10A 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.

9/10A great small restaurant that would be easy to overlook due to the roadworks outside. We’re glad we found it! The food and service was first class and so we’ll try to fit in a second visit before we go back home. Fabulous.

10/10Fabulous restaurant. Food quality was exquisite. Delicious, fresh, great presentation, good portions. Warn bread. Wine selection also great. Service was super. This was out second time, we went on Wed first and by the chocolate cake desert, made a reservation for Saturday. Prices were reasonable also, under 100 Euro for 2 people, this included wine and dessert. IMO, this is one of the best restaurants in Alicante. Definitely will return

8/10A good find considering it was in a hidden little corner. We were seated immediately and drink orders were served timely. As we ordered our food, appreciated the heads up on the quantity which was suggested by the order taker. Good thing we listened and didn't over order. Only let down was the cheque took long to be presented, only after asking 3 times it arrived. All is good otherwise, and will surely be back!
