The reviews don’t lie. This place deserves a 10 star! Flavour, quality, service and experience. It was an absolute pleasure to participate in this master culinary experience. We are locals and this spot is now definitely at the top of our list for Italian cuisine.

Luca, the owner made our dining experience a pleasure.. Delicious authentic Italian food.. This was the best meal I've had in Marbella and i come to this area 2-3 times a year...

Beautiful small restaurant, home made tailored food, booked out when I arrived on spec but the kind owner rearranged tables to accommodate us. Really excellent Italian meals cooked to perfection, an Italian meal we won't forget. Recommend to enquire or book, I went on spec and was lucky

Very traditional Italian cuisine, super family owned friendly service, large portions. Takeaway menu is nice

The culinary experience was very good. Food was great, with ingredients being sourced directly from Italy, incredibly fresh. Service was also amazing, as one can see that the owner/manager really cares about the customer and is ver knowledgeable of the food he is serving. The wine list is also very good. Overall, can highly recommend

Very different in a good way. It feels somewhat of a take away place but it’s not only. Garlic bread is nice and in general nice bread. All their Tomato should be great my friends say. The pasta also. I’m allergic to I had a special pizza but I was trying to order one that I know I can have that all pizza places in Marbella I have tried, gladly makes without any problems. But when I asked for it they wouldn’t make it… so he recommended another he could make, a vegan pizza. I asked them to put salami or other meat on but he wouldn’t ! I thought he made a joke but he was serious. 🤷🏻‍♂️ I wanted to leave but my friends wanted to stay. I was quite annoyed and got over it. He promised that it was great. They didn’t have pesto either. Unfortunately. The pizza came and it way okay - mostly because of the bread. But for my taste very boring and not at all the pizza I was wanting. I was honest about it. He said they try their best but it was not for me. He was kind enough but I wish he would have listened to what I wanted and not what they wanted to serve me. But there was no compromise. I think it would have been better if I could taste the Parmesan cheese but there was very little on there even though I said I could have it. Maybe they where scared that I got allergy from it. My friend got a ham and cheese ball that was very special. One liked it and the other didn’t. So I guess it’s a place if you really want the Italian charm where “the chef / owner is always right”. It was not for me even though I have eaten pizza all around the world and rated them all my life. It’s my favorite thing. The ham was nice, the veggie okay too, bread tasty but the lack of parmasan cheese was my issue. I also asked to have the pepperoni on but the waiter/owner said no. I asked: "so i cant have the pepperoni?" and he said "no it's not good - we know best!". And I was already shocked by this response. If you are not allergic you might very well enjoy it.

Amazing pizza and amazing customer service. They could not have done more. The owner clearly has a passion for the food he serves in his restaurant.

The best food I have eaten in Marbella and the surrounding cities. The chef’s special with Iberian pork that simmered in tomato sauce for 6 hours and cheese was a dish of the gods. Thanks for the great service, food and the experience as a whole!

What a truly lovely restaurant. We’ve eaten in Italian restaurants all over Europe for work - but this is up there with one of the friendliest and also tastiest!! We want to go back. Beats all the bigger less friendly places in Marbella. Lovely music and decor.

Small little Italian restaurant, simple menu but friendly’ tasty & fresh ingredients’ authentic food👍 Feeling great to have such restaurant around.

We turned up 20 minutes before they were due to close. Luca (the owner) welcomed us in and we were treated to exceptional service. Luca explained the concept of his restaurant to give the most authentic pizza using the best Italian ingredients and we were not disappointed. Delicious homemade puddings too. Looking forward to returning next year.

This is your home away from home, your own Italy! A small restaurant with cozy atmosphere. The food is to die for. Classical Italian dishes that will transform you to the motherland. Came first 2 weeks ago with friends and now with family. It is just impeccable, both food and service. Forget the trendy restaurants in Puerto Banus, this is the place. The is where memories are made!

It is the best Italian food that I ever had in years. Totally recommended.

We had a fantastic dinner, including the best pizza and gnocchi we ever had, and the service was top notch too. Highly recommended.

This place is incredible! We went and got take out a few nights ago and met the owner and he was so incredibly understanding and helpful with my wife and her dietary restrictions. He worked on a perfect solution and it was delicious! I got a pizza and it was amazing. The bread is just delightful! This is a true Italian restaurant owned and run by people who are passionate and care about their food!

This is our second time coming and we chose to dine in this time. It was an amazing experience from the very start to the end. The owner is so incredibly kind and caring and he truly wants to serve his guests with genuine hospitality and aims to have you select the dish he knows you would enjoy. My husband got veal meatball pasta and he said it is not hyperbole when he says it was the best pasta and meatballs he had ever tasted. Impeccably crafted by a true Italian chef. So flavorful and tasteful! I got a salmon pasta created specifically for my dietary needs but staying true to Italian cuisine and it was delicious! Truly the best pasta dish I have ever tasted. We are planning to dine again before we leave to head home!

A real hidden gem in Marbella / San Pedro. Places like this are hard to come by. Luca was friendly, courteous, generous and attentive. He was also very passionate (no surprises there) and knowledgeable about the food he was serving. Some of the best ravioli and tiramisu I've had. Ever.

Came based on the reviews and although I don't like talking independent places down i do think it's fair to comment on our experience. It's just off the highway. We were the only ones there so little atmosphere. Our food was fine but nothing beyond that. On a positive the service was good and the food came out quickly. Essentially not a must go to restaurant in our view

After visiting spain for 25+ years we stumbled upon this restaurant via google when looking up where to eat. The reviews can certainly speak for themselves which is what attracted us in the first place. For starter we shared a burrata and focaccia - no complaints there, fresh, tasty and high quality. Then I had a pizza and my husband had a pasta, both dishes were 10/10 accompanied by a beautiful glass of red. The owner is so friendly, warm and helpful - always just a step away from anything you need. The restaurant is only small so it gives you a very warm family run business vibe. Will definitely be back again this year and hope anyone reading this decides to visit as you will certainly not be disappointed!

Ok - travelled a bit to experience this place. In fairness, the staff were very friendly and it was very busy however we asked for nibbles while we were waiting to order as we were told that the kitchen was busy … but they didn’t arrive. Ordered bruschetta for starters (bread was burned) and had lasagne for mains which was nice but pasta was slightly undercooked. Wouldn’t rush back but put it down to a busy night.

My Husband Alan & I with our son & family from California had our dinner here. Lucca was a pleasure from the moment we stepped inside. He is passionate about the food he serves & believe me when I say that it came through in each dish we had the pleasure of eating. We were all in agreement that this is one of the best Italian food we had eaten & the tirmasu was the best hands down we have ever tasted. Can't wait to come back. Alan & Liz from 🇮🇪

Food was amazing ! One of the best stops on our trip to Spain! The burrata was so fresh and delicious. The pasta was perfectly cooked and the meatballs were AMAZING. Service was impeccable ! Owner is friendly & kind. Will definitely come back on our next trip to Marbella.

Flawless! Cannot fault anything at this restaurant. Luca was so friendly/service was perfect and his food is mind blowing! The best Italian on the coast by far! We had a fantastic meal and the wine was delicious. We will be back time and time again. Definitely recommend!

My family and I are visiting from Los Angeles, CA and were pleasantly surprised to have a little bit of Italy. We did not have a reservation but the owner accommodated us anyway. The food was wonderful. Their burrata tasted so fresh and the garlic bread they served with it was also noteworthy. Main dishes were fantastic. They also made a special pasta for my 3 year old that he loved. For dessert, we had the tiramisu which was probably the best I've had since my last trip to Italy. The owner and servers were so great and even the chef entertained my son. We will definitely come back while we are here!!!

Everything we had is always made fresh and come very quickly. The staff is very nice and the owner always very informative about the dishes and wines. We have found this place after getting a massage next door and have been coming back several times and are never dissapointed. Good wines, dessert and nice home cooking.

Amazing experience from start to finish. The welcome, the food, the relaxed atmosphere, the wine, it was all excellent. They take great pride in the sourcing of their ingredients and are so knowledgeable and helpful. The pizza was delicious and we had one of the daily specials, the veggie pasta bake and it was perfect. I will be back.

This place took us right back to Italy! The pasta was perfectly al dente and the sauce tasted just like in Rome! The burrata was creamy and super fresh, all in all a very nice experience! Perfect if you need a break from tapas or just want to experience some really authentic Italian food! Also the owner of the place was super welcoming and friendly. We’re unfortunately leaving tomorrow, otherwise we would come back :)

Amazing original Italian food with amazing service, 100% recommend to a friend!

Very nice french couple run this little place and they clearly have a love of good food and specific ingredients they want to share with food lovers. Simple and relaxed dining experience, also they had a high chair which was helpful.

A little taste of Italy ir Marbella. Marbella is surrounded by glamour and wealth, this place brings you back to reality, great food, fantastic taste, fair price. Made by real people (family style restaurant)

Large group hosted superbly by Luca and team from a kitchen that defies its size! Every dish was authentic and delicious, these people know and care about food and wine, and they have the knowledge and skill to deliver. A real gem that every one of us is still raving about after a really special dining experience!

Absolutely wonderful!!! We came down from Fuengirola Because we read about how great this place was. The reviews don’t do it justice, and neither will this one. The food was beyond excellent. The dessert was to die for. The bruschetta was made from the freshest tomatoes I’ve ever had. The margarita pizza was the best I’ve had. The fresh berry desserts with fresh custard are to die for. The Limoncello, It is world class. I cannot stress this enough…go here!!! We will be back Thank youguys for the great food and great time -Eric C.

We have been a few times now and every time it gets better. The Italian food is simply the best on the costa's and we have been to a few. Simple menu but prepared with the best ingredients, you will not be disappointed with the food or service.
