Tintoroble Gran Canaria Wine Club Ibericos & Vinos

High selection and combination of Spanish Wine by the glass / bottle , Table of Iberic Cold cuts & Cheeses

Reviewed By Tonemikk

This is one among few great places to find excellent food, wine and HOSPITALITY. When serving, Silvia also gives us information about the grape, the vineyard and the character of the wine. Mirco is the chef and he makes us taste wonderful cheeses, ham, carpaccio og tuna or meat, beside his own red pepper marmalade. This couple always makes the visit at Tintoroble, a visit into gourmet tastes, both food and wine, AND being so warm and friendly you feel as if you are staying in private surroundings, not at San Agustin Shopping Centre. We highly recommend TintoRoble, Silvia and Mirco

Reviewed By Melissa A

Being a former resident of Gran Canaria I've tried many restaurants on the island and I can honestly say ll Gusto is one is the best in the category fine dining restaurants. We enjoyed a 3 course surprise menu and were definitely blown by the quality of the food and presentation of the dishes. Owner and head chef Fabrizio is truly passionate about his food and puts a lot of thought, passion and creativity in the dishes. I highly recommend trying the surprise menu, as it was top notch in taste and flavor. Furthermore I would give the staff an A+ for their outstanding service. Il Gusto offers a phenomenal dining experience that's easily compared to a Michelin level. You're missing out if you don't try Il Gusto!Melissa thank you so much for your visit and this lovely 5 bubble review! We were happy to welcome you and we appreciate you taking the time to write about us on Tripadvisor.See you next time!

Fabulous food that is so different from the normal hotel buffet served by excellent friendly staff and thankfully priced in a way to attract smart looking people. Food was beautifully presented, Tuna was just shown where the pan and therefore cooked to perfection. Smoked salmon salad was amazing and lunch was amazing too. Cocktails and drink at lunchtime and dinner were perfectly mixed. Not cheap but in a way that was OK. No kids, perfect. Definitely worth a visit if you want something different with fabulous views across the bay.Dear client,we would like to thank you for having chosen our Restaurant Gorbea to spend with us what it was a nice evening and also for having shared your review. We will put in knowledge of the affected personnel comments.

WOW! .... if you are on the island if Gran Canaria, make it your business to get to this restaurant. Fantastic atmosphere, staff, setting and most importantly...food. Sublime starter main and dessert, all cooked in front of you in their bbq pit which is so professionally maintained.

Italian traditiona food, original recipes. The Menu changes often. Casual atmosphere, come as you are and come hungry. More than friendly, pets are welcome. NO gluten free, possible cross-contamination due to the small kitchen.

Pizzeria da Luigi

Reviewed By silviomax96

Despite the fact that I'm Italian, I'm writing this review in English in order to make it as "international" as possible.As we stepped inside the place, we could tell from the smell that the pizza was good.Tonight we had a margherita pizza, the classic (and maybe the hardest to do) Italian pizza. The waitress convicted us to try bufala mozzarella. Actually, we were kind of skeptical about it, since it'very hard to eat a good bufala. Well, we can confirm that it was really good, way better than a lot of mozzarellas you can eat in Italy.The pizza was great, we would have NEVER expected to find such a "treasure" in Las Palmas. To split hairs, maybe the tomato sauce was just a tiny bit salty, but it's a matter of tastes.Luigi is very kind, and his staff is great too.Sure, we'll be there to try the Piadina and have an espresso!Ps: they use fresh and Italian ingredients, taste doesn't lie!

Reviewed By Kevinbrom

Firstly this restaurant refused to send me a menu in advance - apparently not company policy, which is ridiculous. So you take a risk that it offers food and cooking style that you may or may not like. Secondly the prices shown on the menu once you are there do not include tax (not made clear at all} so when you get the bill that is then added. Never had that from a reputable restaurant before. Thirdly they overcharged for a glass of wine hoping we wouldn't notice. The food is reasonable buit not exceptional and it is so annoying that they behave in this way. Consequently it does not deserve its' high ratings.Apreciado"inútil y tortuosa" es lo que nos parece a nosotros su critica, Se dedica a juzgar políticas de empresa, no lee bien la carta en la que claramente se dice que el IGIC no esta incluido ,luego se pide una parrillada para la mesa ,tanta información para luego pedir parrillada……..Lo peor le preguntamos y nos dijo que todo perfecto y ahora se dedica a escribir aquí cosas sin sentidoSeñor sinceramente su critica me parece inconsistente y realizada con un criterio nulo.

Reviewed By photoglyn

We weren’t even sure that we’d find anywhere to eat on arrival in Arternara but we stumbled across two close to each other, but this little vegan restaurant flying prayer flags outside, really captured our imagination (and I’m a full time meat eater!) They have a brilliant philosophy about using home grown and organic foods mostly sourced locally in the mountain top village. Everything is fresh, tasty and beautifully cooked. Ok that’s a big claim for my first visit but I ordered two crepes, one tomato and local cheese and also a roasted banana, toffee & rum and both were mouth-wateringly scrummy! I also enjoyed a locally brewed craft beer which was wonderfully hoppy and served really cold, a gorgeous relief on this baking hot day.The owner was really friendly and extremely helpful and clearly passionate about the food and their approach. I was anxious that we waited so long to be served but there is definitely a laid back un-rushed atmosphere here and SO lovely to hear fluent Spanish everywhere unlike the horrendous English holiday atmosphere of Puerto Rico where we are staying. This restaurant is a gem of a place :-) Gracias!!!
