The restaurant looks very posh, quaint, and french inside. Don't be fooled, the food does not measure up to the decor. We weren't too famished, so we ordered the prosciutto y funghi pizza to share. It was definitely enough for two people. The crust was pretty good and crispy, but the sauce and cheese didn't seem of the highest quality. The toppings were decent, but could not make up for the blandness of the sauce. The sauce almost had a fake taste to it, as you could tell maybe the sauce isn't freshly made. Regardless, the pizza was still relatively edible. The tiramisu was served in one of those cups that often premade tiramisu is served in and not as a slice. It was just okay, but not comparable to what I've had in the United States. Again it tasted and looked a little processed. Probably not the freshest. Service was relative quick (comparably for Spain). Overall, come here if you can't think of anywhere else to go, otherwise I'd recommend you try something else. Summary: Edible and average food with what seems to be not the freshest ingredients. Pro: Very close to the major hotels in Alicante

We sat outside just across from I guess St Mary's church but my Spanish is woeful. It was lovely warm as we watched a beggar outside the church just across from our table hiding his cigarettes and mobile phone behind his I'm broke beggars sign. My wife opted for a rosè wine and a salami pizza (€11.5) and I got a large beer and mushroom risotto (€11.5) which was real earthy exquisite with a few slices of cheese on top. I had a slice of the pizza, as I'm not a big fan of that food, but this one was real tasty. As we dined a chap in an alien suit just walked by as if this was normal. I noted suckling pig on the menu but I need to be real hungry to opt for it so I'll go back before we leave. We were well fed and couldn't manage dessert so it was to tasty cappuccinos. Really worth a visit or two.

A little gem in the heart of Alicante town. What better location to dine in this beautiful city…read morethan La Piazza? In the middle of 'El Barrio' - Alicante's old town, right in front of the magnificent Concatedral de San Nicolas. The pretty, and full, terrace drew us towards the menu. We were approached and greeted by a waiter while we had a look. He didn't try to force us in like almost every other restaurant nearby. I appreciated this. And to me it is a good sign when you don't have to harass people to get them in to your place. We were told that we could wait inside, or in the adjoining bar, owned by the same people while we waited for a table outside to come free. We went inside. It was tranquil and dimly lit with relaxing music in the background. We grabbed a beautiful glass of homemade sangría and a local beer while we pondered our food options. Soon after we were notified our table was ready outside and were helped out with our drinks. Great! Our party decided to have a starter each as we were having great difficulty narrowing down what we wanted. A selection of tapas, oven-baked octopus, goats cheese salad and garlic prawns. Wow. Those prawns were out of this world. I also sampled the goats cheese salad and can confirm it was delicious. We also got a homemade bread basket which arrived still warm from the oven. Onto the mains; crispy suckling pig, seafood paella for two and sea bass fillets. The quality of the starters most certainly followed through to the seconds. I can't recommend the pig highly enough. It is like nothing you have ever tasted before. Under the light and crispy skin you will find the most tender and tasty meat. Falls off the bone. My party also declared their mains as fantastic. Everybody more than happy. Dessert time. One chocolate coulant and one cheesecake between us. Too full already. The coulant is exquisite. A little volcano of hot chocolate sauce encased in a baked chocolate pastry. Cheesecake also unlike any you will try back home. Baked, thick and creamy, drenched in a red fruit coulis, all accompanied with ice cream and crunchy almonds. The staff here know their game. That can be seen. The young serving team were run off their feet with a full terrace, people constantly arriving asking for seats and also several tables inside. But they managed it wonderfully and we didn't notice a single disgruntled or ignored customer. Heck, I raised my hand once throughout our experience to request another beer and had the waitress at my side immediately. The team are multilingual and consists of several native English speakers, from Ireland. It's nice to be able to order and chat freely abroad in your own language! Although I do try my luck with Spanish where I can! All in all, I will most certainly be back here and I would recommend you do not miss out should you be in Alicante for whatever reason. Give it a go!

We ordered the steak medium rare and it came out well done, making the steak tough and strange tasting. Also tried the pesto ravioli stuffed with 5 cheese. It was basically inedible. Neither my fiancé or I were able to finish even half of it. The pesto sauce tasted did not taste like any of the pesto sauces I've ever had in the US. The cheese tasted processed and was solid inside the ravioli. I certainly could not taste any complexity in the cheese stuffing that would make me think there are 5 cheeses. We also tried the calamari this time and it was pretty decent. Overall, I'd recommend walking a little further from the tourist area to try something else.
