We made a reservation via The Fork for dinner and took an Uber (20€) to come here. We thought La…read moreDolce Vita would totally be our vibe - on the beach ; not too divey; or too much of a party vibe and yet have good food. Our reservation was for 1915 and we ordered sangria to start along with tapas. Both great. We then ordered a paella. My husband was still eating when the waiter came along about 2000 , (8pm) and said he was dropping the bill as they were closing soon due to it being a holiday for 'Father's Day' ; we didn't know that as for one , the restaurant took the reservation and sat us & next we aren't Spanish. They came by with the credit card machine .. started locking stuff up and told us we could stay. Rude and not okay. Honestly there were great open air restaurants right by our hotel and we could have saved the money on the Uber and being rushed through dinner. Rip off and not okay.

The pasta is made fresh from scratch daily and I enjoyed the "Pappardelle Seas and Mountains" pasta dish. It was a very generous portion and quite tasty. Definitely recommend this little family owned Italian restaurant which has an ocean view.

The food is excellent, we have not gotten one single dish here that has not been the equator a 5 star Michelin hotel. We are from southern Ireland and this is our 3rd time to Benalmádena and last night was our first night was our first night here of our trip and we came to Milan, a family run restaurant with proper home cooked food made with love. Staff are excellent, they really make you feel special and never forget a face. No real negative bar it could have air conditioning and can get very busy, not a real complaint being in a hot country and being in such a popular place that even the locals frequent. Not exactly a hidden gem but such a special place. On our 10 day holiday we already have booked another visit mid holiday and the last night too. 10 out of 10, you won't be disappointed!!!!

It would be easy to miss this unassuming restaurant when walking down the coastline inundated with storefronts made for the tourist eye. Thankfully, having walked past it about a dozen times to and from the hotel, I finally gave it a go. And I didn't even have to look it up on Yelp first. The white linen tablecloths that cover the 20 or so tables were nearly packed when first entering. The main server was well-versed in Inglés, Français, and of course Español (from what I (over)heard.) Along with their interior change, their offerings has changed from 2014 to a more streamlined menu. With chef recommended specials written along the walls. Which by the way are quite impressive with it's chalk art as well. Towards the end of the evening, an unexpected digestivo was given: a complimentary shot of homemade limoncello. Mmm, what a way to end an amazing dinner that was eaten to completion. Having given this restaurant very little expectations when I sat down in a rattan chair, I was thoroughly impressed by the time I left the restaurant with only two parties left. I smiled at them and them at me, waved and thanked the staff in my best Spanish. It was a good night. And not to crap on this review, but this night was made even better by the cookie/caramel parfait at McDonald's a few doors down. Dare I say, the best dessert ever bought for about €3. Sorry, I wasn't going to bring it up but I wasn't offered dessert at the restaurant and my sweet tooth needed to be fixed. Despite my unabashed love for cheap desserts, you can still trust this review.

The tortellini was superb and so very tasty and plentiful. Service was on par with European standards and we were never rushed. Time is never an issue. The location is excellent right on the marina and the sights make the dining experience even better. I would highly recommend this restaurant for both the food and ambience.

When we wanted to order additional garlic for our pizzas, it was said: 2.00 extra for extra toppings. The first stupid comment we have got, because we did not like to have chips? Overall, the service was not supportive but very intrusive and unfriendly since they noticed, that we will only have some pizzas and no expensive extras such as chips, more drinks ore a dessert. I decided to give a tip of only 0,50 EUR, what was commented with: "good men" This is a big trap, never again
