Lovely restaurant on the beach in Estepona. Initially we had a grumpy waiter but when we insisted…read morewe needed more time to order he was replaced by two younger men. The artichoke hearts were wonderful. We had grilled vegetables and fish (rape) and our friends had grilled octopus (pulpo) and a skewer of fish shrimp and veggies over a wonderful rice base, with the smallest rice I've ever seen. All excellent. Confusion reigned when we ordered desert as the waiter knew the word fruit but not sorbet and my husband ended up with fresh sliced fruit. He was happy with it. My order of lemon ice cream was not available but instead of telling me it was not available and letting me choose something else, he brought me something he thought I wanted, which I didn't. When I clarified that I was ordering chocolate and vanilla ice cream, he brought me a desert that was neither and told me it was the only ice cream they had. It didn't take like ice cream, it was vanilla and chocolate but wasn't creamy. When I asked another waiter about it, he said it was an Italian dessert. It was good. When they realized the confusion, they sent a complimentary bottle of limoncello and four chocolate covered ice cream bites. So all was well. The restaurant is not expensive by North American standards but is for this region of Spain. We had a magical night with our first views of Gibraltar and the African coastline at sunset. I would come back.

Half of us is vegan so we ordered pizza with no cheese, arugula, artichoke, olives & garlic. The thin crust was perfect and the pizza was fantastic. Our kids ordered a pesto pizza with some meat, they loved it. The owner, who's Italian, helped us with what toppings would complement each other on the pizza. We also ordered putenesca pasta, which wasn't spicy but the flavor and the noodles were fabulous. I'm sure desserts were just as good, but no vegan options. Would come here again and would highly recommend it.

Now I know I did Taboo by ordering red wine but I can't resist Nero D'avola it's so delicious. I ended with Espresso so I can continue the night after being so full and this place.... Is a must for treating yourself or a nice relaxing but impressive date night. They show love and diligence with their cuisine. I give this place 10 stars but yelp with not let me!

As I sat at my outside table at Il Cantuccio, perusing the large restaurant sign with the name Il…read moreCantuccio on it with 2 clinking glasses and evidence of merriment, I wondered what the name of the restaurant stood for. Was it perhaps champagne or celebration or even wedding? So, I asked the waitress and she told me that it stood for corner and indeed, Il Cantuccio is on a corner. The restaurant's main seating is outdoors with tables going round the corner from the restaurant's main entrance. When I asked what they did if it rained, my waitress said it rarely rained on the Costa del Sol I do like eating alfresco and I did enjoy the ambiance of the outdoor setting in spite of the booming music coming from a kids' birthday party in the neighbouring square. Hot climates means that lighter dishes go down better and as I scanned the menu, my eye was drawn to the tasting menu offering 5 course for 35 Euros, excellent value for money A plate of amuse bouches arrived first - marinaded mushrooms and local ham. It demonstrated some nice produce from surrounding areas and was a good start The bread arrived with 2 flavoured butters, one with garlic and the other with tomato. Already, I could tell that the kitchen was really into flavour and everything tasted clear and distinctive 1. Prawn ravioilis in pesto sauce Generously sized raviolis were filled with prawns which were chopped but still had enough texture to be obviously prawn. The pesto sauce really brought the dish together with the nutty perfume of pinenuts and basil combining perfectly. The chef had assured me that everything was made fresh on-site and the pesto sauce proved it - you wouldn't get this quality otherwise 2. Duo of pates with cranberry sauce The liver pate was super smooth and the rougher Iberico pork pate had wonderful texture and both pates packed a meaty punch, which was perfectly balanced out by the sweet and slightly sharp cranberry 3. Courgette soup Such an innocuous name. A dish that I would never order off an a la carte menu. A dish which only had one main vegetable in it - courgette - and yet this was the standout dish of the evening. It was full of sweet and deep deep flavour. Anyone that can extract that amount of flavour from courgette is a genius though the cook showed me her primary ingredient - the largest courgette I have ever seen. It was more the size of a squash 4. Entrecôte of beef, potato gratin, parsnip purée & mixed vegetables I was beginning to realise by now that in northern Europe, we just don't have the conditions for top class ingedients. The sunshine must infiltrate the vegetables and from this dish, also the animals. This was a top class piece of beef, cooked to medium rare perfection 5. Poached pears with choocolate ice cream I laughed when this dish arrived. After having seen the largest courgette ever in my life, I now saw the smallest pears. A lovely end to the meal Make no mistake. This is a kitchen of the highest class. They understand good ingredients, the importance of extracting flavour, balancing different components and how to put a tasting menu together

From the…read moremoment we walked in, the atmosphere felt warm and inviting, and everyone at our table left with delicious meals and an all-around happy mood. I started with a glass of Moscato that was perfectly chilled and just the right amount of sweet--light, refreshing, and not overpowering. For my appetizer, I had the bruschetta, which was fresh and flavorful, topped with juicy tomatoes, fragrant basil, and a drizzle of balsamic, toasted bread. For my main dish, I ordered the four-cheese gnocchi, and it did not disappoint. The gnocchi were soft and pillowy, coated in a rich, creamy blend of cheeses that was indulgent without being too heavy. Every bite was comforting and full of flavor. Highly recommend stopping here if you're craving authentic, satisfying Italian food in a welcoming setting. It's also a great place for great conversation--the cozy ambiance and unhurried pace make it easy to sit back, relax, and enjoy the moment.

The hostel associated with this restaurant is in the middle of the old town in an old villa with a…read morelarge central courtyard with lots of plants and open air. The restaurant is 100 meters away on the plaza which is also where we checked-in. Ristorante Italiano Tuscana has an extensive menu of antipasti, pastas, meat dishes, desserts, and a full bar. They have an indoor, air-conditioned dining room and tables outdoors on the plaza. The food was very good, the portions appropriate, and the prices fair. We ate there twice and enjoyed our meals along with their resident dog, Rocco, who was very sweet, lingering near outdoor diners, but not begging or being a nuisance at all. The first night we had l'insalata caprese €8 and tortelli 4 formaggi ai burro e salvia €15 for my wife and the lasagna bolognese €10 for me along with a bottle of water with gas and a liter of sangria €12. My lasagna was delicious and HUGE, but my wife's tortelli had not been properly drained, watering down the rich butter and sage sauce, but my wife still enjoyed it. On the subsequent evening, we forewent the starter, my wife ordering the tagliatelli con funghi €10, me the spaghetti carbonara, and sharing the cotoletta alla milanese €12, a bottle of water and two glasses of house red wine. All were very tasty, especially the carbonara which was prepared in the traditional way by adding egg yokes just before serving with plenty o' pepper ... HOOAH! Our dinners, a starter, main and wine/water ran around €50, not bad for good meal for two, so Ristorante Toscania was a definite Travelvalue and worth a return visit the next time we go to Naval Air Station Rota.
