One of the photos of Antonio Banderas, who happens to be a co-owner! The service was super attentive, and the overall ambiance was just great. I really liked El Pimpi, it fully lived up to the hype!

This restaurant is more about its famous owner than the food.

People come in the hope of sighting this celebrity, crowding the restaurant at all hours and overwhelming its staff. Our server pointed us to a QR code on the cocktail menu so we could look up what's on offer. This menu gave ONLY the names of the dishes on offer, WITHOUT any description of the dish or its sides. Nor did the server have the time to describe them to us. Service was a 2, at best, while the food was a 3. If you're looking for good food and good service, there are plenty of other options in Málaga. If you choose a place to eat on the off chance you will see a movie star, this is the place for you.

My friend who Lives nearby noted they are that big. It was a very hearty salad and had lettuce, corn, tuna, tomatoes, carrots, and beets in it. It could have been a meal at lunchtime- especially if that was half. Then we had my favorite dish which is the friend small fish- I forget the name. I got it several times throughout my trip but this place was extra delicious. I loved them!! We ordered fresh fish for our main course. They brought it out to show before cooking it. My friend pointed out the fire pit next to the restaurant where they do the cooking. The fish was amazing. So yummy!!

I got the bolognese tortellini and the bolognese tasted so much like meat I was second guessing myself throughout the meal. The sauce was a little sweet to the point I wasn't sure if it was artificial but it was overall still enjoyable. Our host was a ray of sunshine and warned against me getting more than the tortellini for myself because the portion size was perfect for one person. She was absolutely correct. I do think it's a common Spain thing for waiters to warn you about portion sizes because almost every city I've been to people have been like "are you sure, that's a lot of food, are you really hungry?" It's a great spot for vegetarians and there are vegan options as well.
