Great restaurant, the food is awesome, in a very sunny Valencian afternoon it was a great option…read morefor lunch. Suggest having the tuna with Valencia tomatoes and grilled octopus. Had the tenderloin rare with potatoes and veggies (tasty!!!). My wife had the grilled cod on olive oil with garlic ( really really good!). Great choice if you come to Valencia, Paterna tech area.

On my second day in Valencia, my colleague said, "I know how much you love pizza -- I think I just…read morefound the best pizza in the world." Quite an aggressive comment. But the next day, while walking around, we stumbled across a spot called Il Cortile. With a big ol' sign. And what does the sign say? "The best pizza in the world." I guess he wasn't lying. We walked in -- the place looked legit. First thing I noticed? Forks and knives already set on the table. Fork and knife for pizza? Uh-oh... felt a little suspicious. But let's see. Menus hit the table, service was ready. The host seemed a little cold at first -- kind of dry. A few minutes in, we realized: that's just his vibe. Not rude. Just dry, sarcastic, deadpan hilarious. He was actually super helpful, and we had a great time with him once we got to chatting. What some people might read as unfriendly? Nah. Dude had jokes -- you just had to catch them. Now let's talk food. We started with the Trio Hummus appetizer. one classic, one with Cumin, and a third one with a pesto sauce on top-- and every single one was delicious. They brought out this soft, fresh bread that paired with it perfectly. So far so good. Lex got three recommendations from the deadpan comedian.The first had anchovies -- hard no for him. The second had prosciutto and mushrooms-- still not his thing. The third? That was the one: the Ficanesca. That pizza? Goat cheese. Spicy salami. Smoked honey glaze. Pure Fire!!!!! It was crispy, sweet, creamy, spicy -- all in one. Jerry ordered a pizza topped with mortadella -- looked good, but I'm not big on mortadella, so I didn't go for it. I had the Margherita D.O.C., made with San Marzano tomatoes, Basil and Buffalo Mozzarella. It was clean, fresh, traditional -- definitely good. Not the best I've ever had, but it held its ground. Crust was beautifully done. So good I saved it and finished off the rest of the hummus. Final word? Five stars. It's not the best pizza in the world, but Il Cortile is easily one of the best pizza spots I've been to in Valencia-- period. Next time I'm there-- you already know, I'm going back.

Very delicious, just gotta ask what certain words mean even when though I speak Spanish…read more Bocadillos and tapas are the way to go so you get to really try a little bit of everything. I would recommend sitting outside if you're short like me (4"11) the chairs inside are meant for long legs .

5* for on-point service, atmosphere of a dressier restaurant…read more3* for Paella Valenciana Canela came recommended by a local tour guide, so I was excited to check it out for my only dine-in paella experience in Valencia. I sat upstairs, overlooking the front of the restaurant. Canela has a nice ambiance of a white table cloth/wine glasses on table setting. Female server was very on-point, pleasant. A small "tapa" of hummus on top of small tostadas were provided after ordering which was nice. I saw that other tables were offered shots of some liquor as an digestif, but perhaps that were for people with larger orders? Since we just came here for the paella, that's what we just ordered. I believe it also came with bread. Paella did take some time to roll out, which is understandable, ~20mins. I'm not sure if the dish was soo overhyped, but I found Canela's version too salty. I expected it to have more of a saffron taste, but it was more salt/rosemary. Looked well-presented though! Overall, I cannot recommend the paella here, as it wouldn't be something that I'd order again. However, it seemed as though it was a popular dish to order since all the locals, in surrounding tables, had it for lunch.
