    L'Oca Giuliva is okay. Yes just okay. Actually it is a TTT restaurant (tourist trap type) trying to…read moredisguise itself as an authentic Italian. We should have known better as the location screamed "come on in to a charmingly decorated restaurant and pay outrageous prices for a pretend authentic Italian meal". Oh well, our fault. We were short of time as we were catching our train for a five hour journey. Obviously planning on a satisfying meal for lunch. Service was just that. Service. No big smiles welcoming us in. No friendly greeting. No explanation of the menu. No suggestions. Though the interior had only three tables occupied and one table occupied outdoors, we definitely did not feel like we were treated as guests who would be spending 60€ for lunch (food only, no beer or wine). Not that the food was real bad but so many things were lacking to make it even good. First off, they plop a small paper sack of two hard as a rock bread rolls in frint of you. No explanation. Drop and go. Yep, remember its not free. This practice sucks and should be illegal. You will pay 3,80€ to gnaw on stale bread while hoping you don't break a tooth or make the roof of your mouth raw. I know, it was our choice to go ahead and eat it, but since we had decided to have only one meal today, we were very hungry by 13:30h. I had no idea it would cost 3,80€. At most this day old should cost 1,50€, no actually it should be free! You are also served a few black olives (strange as in Italy I have only been served green). Olive oil, wine vinegar and salt & pepper was on the table. Good thing for the oil since soaking the stale bread in the oil helped us swallow. But...wine vinegar? At an Italian restaurant?? Where is the balsamic? Strange. Our starter was the Caprese Salad. In my attached photo, I actually 'dressed it up' on my own with oil, vinegar, salt & pepper. Oh my. Look at this. For 15,90€ we got a PLAIN sliced not ripe flavorless tomato and a round of simple mozzarella cheese with a decortive teeny sprig of basil. How pathetic! What would this cost you at the local Consum grocery?? Possibly 1,20€ for two tomatoes (though this was most likely only one and a half tomatoes) and 3,50€ for a ball of mozzarella. Not even quality Burrata cheese!! No flavor. No basil. No herbs. No pesto. No balsalmic reduction. No SOMETHING to enhance the empty flavor. And the price. Oh my. For our mains, we both chose off the 'fresh pasta' menu. Again this is PASTA and each dish was quite pricey. Mine was the Tagliatelle Tartufo. Not even FRESH mushrooms. Really. Canned mushy 'shrooms were stirred into my pasta with maybe a bit of truffle oil to pretend to taste like truffles. No shaved truffles. No truffle flakes. No offer of Parmigiano cheese - which is always offered on a pasta dish. No one ever came by to offer any shaved cheese. No twirling spoon. How is this an ITALIAN restaurant??? And the price? For a fist size portion...16,50€. YIKES! Husband ordered the Ravioli Pecorino Pere. At least it was flavorful with the butter and thyme sauce. But the pear stuffing was very limited. These were the flatest - or least filled ravioli we have ever seen. An easy way to stretch their costs but still offer the dish. This cost, crazy at 16,90€ Bottom line, this is more like a VERY overpriced fast food Italian. They are definitely not using Nonna's old original recipes. L'Oca Giuliva is here in the tourist trap area of Seville to do just that. TRAP you into paying absolute crazy high prices then having the nerve upon checkout with the credit card reader to ask for a tip to be added to your tab. Come on. This is Spain. Tipping culture doesn't work like that. It is not a requirement!!! We leave a few Euros IF we feel service/food/experience was exceptional. Our experience was none of these. (And I do know this as I am a permanent resident of Spain since 2018. Please don't TRAP your guests like this. Simply stop!) Visit was Thursday January 16, 2025 at 13:30h

    Seville is such a charming place. The restaurant is located in a great location within the center…read moreof the city. We made reservations in advance and arrived early. You definitely want to RSVP in advance. We saw multiple people being turned away, as they were fully booked. The all white theme decor was cute and instagram-able. We shared a few dishes to get our hands on their best dishes. The Mortadella Pistachio Pizza was outstanding. Fiordilatte, pistachio cream, bologna mortadella, provolone and ricotta. We balanced out the pizza, with the Natural Salad, young sprouts, Burgos cheese, blueberries, raisins, almonds, pistachios, sunflower seeds. Make a Resy, get there early, and enjoy a nice walk to and from your hotel.

    There are 2 locations. This review is for the location along the beach. The other location is near…read morethe port where cruise ships dock. **be sure to call them for lunch/dinner hours. we were planning for a 7pm dinner and called to rsvp a table, but was told the kitchen opens at 815pm. ** After living in Spain for almost 3 years, this is probably one of the best pizza/pasta places that we've had in the areas of Rota/Cadiz/Puerto. We've tried many places and were just so-so, but this one is the clear winner. The pizza: their pizza is Napoli style, the birthplace of Margherita pizza. So naturally, i had to try it! Very delicious! It had the right amount of sauce and cheese and the dough was the perfect chewy to crust ratio, the way I remembered from eating pizza in Naples, Italy. My friends ordered the Salcissia e friarelli and the carbonara. Both were just as tasty! Pizza portions are huge (comparable to serving sizes in Naples) and can easily be shared between 2-3 people or if you are hangry, just eat it all by yourself haha! The spaghetti allo scoglio was delicious! Just the right amount of seafood and olive oil and the noodles were cooked to a perfect al dente. My niece enjoyed her gnocchi, she is 7 years old but finished the entire dish. The only time she has ever done that was when they were living in Naples. The calzone frito was huge and just as amazing. It is stuffed with ricotta and some kind of salami thinly sliced and is fried. The dough was amazing on its own, it had a sweet taste to it. It was a huge portion as well. The tiramisu - homemade and so good! We barely had room for dessert but figured we should try it since everything else had been really great. This didn't disappoint! They also sell mini pizzas for €1 if you get it to go! The owners/pizza magic makers are originally from Naples, Italy. They also use the brick stove to cook the pizza. Very nice staff here. It is outdoor seating along the beach. For the summer months, they do recommend reservations on Fridays/Saturdays. It is Street parking and there is also a public garage that is a 5 minute walk. We definitely would come here again when the craving hit!

    The best pizza in Cadiz; wood burning pizza oven makes the perfect crust; the staff is friendly and…read moremade us special off the menu pizzas like prosciutto and pistachio; the wines paired well with the pizza and pasta we had. We ate here twice over a week in Cadiz.......it was simply the best food we had.......
