The owner, Anita, was so friendly and invited us to sit wherever we preferred. My husband, sister and I chose a table in the back room next to the fireplace since it was a chilly night in January. We were dehydrated from drinking wine all day during our wine tour in Ronda so we immediately ordered several bottles of water and soda to accompany our wine. I was dreading the bill after ordering so many beverages, but prices were very reasonable and this was one of our cheapest meals in Marbella! The menu at Arco Tapas Bar consists of a variety of hot and cold tapas and small plates. The Iberian ham, fresh buffalo mozzarella, sliders, and goat cheese salad were some of our favorite dishes. We later found out that Anita's husband is the chef. Anita's husband is from Italy so you will notice some Italian influences on the menu. This was the perfect spot to relax with friends and enjoy some great wine and tapas. Would highly recommend this spot. Unfortunately, they are not open for lunch or we would have returned the next day!

SHERRY WINE REDUCTION, EGG YOLK AND PORK JOWL Everything was absolutely delicious - our favorite was the marinated sea bass. It came with lettuce leaves perfect for making a taco. The tomato salad was also delicious and I loved the tuna in it - the only non-perfect part of the meal was that there was a sticker on one of the tomatoes - ha! (And also they forgot one of our dishes and it came out at the very end after we had to remind them but no biggie). The service was also very nice - I was trying to practice my spanish and our server was very patient and kind. Loved this restaurant so much!

The service was very slow and somewhat indifferent. We were served but there was no attempt to establish any connection with us other than to take our order and bring the food out. I had the ox tail with mashed potatoes and it was very good. The rest of the meal was okay but not memorable. It is unlikely that we would return.

I was very…read morehappy to display (only just!) some intelligence on my recent trip to Marbella Having been disappointed with my lunch at a restaurant on the main tourist beach promenade, I vowed not to get seduced by any more touristy eateries. That evening, I walked from my hotel to the Old Town and spent half an hour wandering round looking at all the menus. Fortunately, I eschewed the pseudo international food and 20 Euro paellas on offer and walked all the way back to my hotel without a clear plan about what to do for dinner. Well, completely by chance, I discovered this gem of a tapas bar just a few doors from my hotel. The first good sign was that the menu was written completely in Spanish with no foreign translated menus available. Secondly, the busy restaurant was patronisesd exclusively by local Spaniards. Thirdly, as in the best Chinese restaurants, there was a wonderful happy din of people enjoying themselves amidst good company and good food. Although I don't speak much Spanish, fortunately my time spent in tapas restaurants in the UK enabled me to spot some favourite dishes. As is the tradition in Spain, my drink arrived with a complimentary tapas - salami on a piece of baguette. The only downer of the evening was that the only orange juice available was in a bottle where I had found wonderful freshly squeezed orange juice almost ubiquitous throughout the resort My bounty of pulpo a la gallega (octopus in olive and paprika), chuletas de cordero (grilled lamb cutlets) cooked medium rare, bacalao fritos (salt cod fritter), jamon Iberico (wonderful cut to order iberico ham) and chipirones (deep fried squid). A wonderful tasty authentic dinner, sat in front of the telly showing La Liga football. The bill at the end of the evening? 22 Euros. Bargain! This was the authentic taste of the real Spain I was seeking and it was wonderful
