If you're in the mood for a good pizza, I would suggest this place as they have many great options, reasonably priced and it was delicious. They also have non pizza items if you're not in the mood. I do know they let you order to go and I think they also do delivery through apps. My only complaint to management/ staff is that I wish they would step in when beggars or street vendors came to your table. We had a old woman ask us for money ( she begged us for a while ) while we were eating and it would have been nice for a waiter or the host to step in and make sure she left. She stopped at every table outside and they didn't do anything. I would still come back here as the food and staff were good, but the above note is a suggestion for the future.

Althought the pasta was really good, I felt like the meat sauce could have had more flavor. The Arrabiata was much better. It was so fresh and tasty. Will definitely return if I'm feeling for fresh pasta next time I'm in Malaga. Prego!

It is open quite late for lunch (till 4pm, then they close until dinner time) so it is a convenient restaurant in the city center but do not free your agenda to go there, it is not worth the hassle.

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.

Surprisingly delicious Italian food in a Spanish city! Believe it or not, I was getting sick of…read moretapas and wanting something familiar yet different. After passing by La Mafia a few times (conveniently located in a central part of Malaga's pedestrian mall), I asked my hubby if we could try Spanish-made Italian for one night. La Mafia. The name is laughable and the design of the storefront and advertising posters are so kitchy and overly themed. Anyway, the inside isn't checkered tablecloths and black and white photos of Sicilian crime families. Instead you'll find plush seating, white tablecloths, and a decidedly more posh setting than the Godfather would ever want to entertain or be entertained in. You'll also be less likely to find Italians, more likely to see tourists from other parts of the world, such as Germany, UAE, and USA. Their menu offerings remind of the Spanish pasta and pizza chain, La Tagliatella. Similar to La Tagliatella, La Mafia offers a range of base sauces, which you can then pair with a noodle of your choice, and add a protein while you're at it. I love anything with truffles in it so I had to get either a truffle-infused sauce or truffle-infused pasta. I decided to pair their pesto with mushroom and truffle ravioli. It was amazeballs. The hubby ordered their very shrimpy prawn risotto for my sake, and it was also very good. He, of course, liked my dish more, but said that he quite enjoyed the risotto despite not caring much for shellfish (being allergic to them...). The servings are very generous. La Mafia may have very well been the first place where we ordered an entree-size meal. Service at La Mafia is somewhat better than the rest of Malaga, understandable since entrees average between 15 and 20 euro, as opposed to individual tapas under 10 euro. Here's our only grievance: Despite being a fancier restaurant than some others around town, La Mafia couldn't escape what seems to be a Malaga thing--dishes and utensils looked poorly washed. This was mostly our experience in Malaga, not so in Granada and Nerja. For some reason, Malaga establishments and citizens seem to care less about specks of food on their plates or greasy forks...Oh well...We learned to just give our plates and utensils aggressive wipedowns with napkins. If you're craving some creamy, carby goodness while visiting Malaga, check out La Mafia.

Great calzone and carbonara. You have to experience this... Recommended!!!read more
