During our short stay in Nerja my family and I ate here twice. The menu, like the restaurant, is small but the dishes are made of such good quality ingredients and beautifully home cooked. The ravioli stuffed with buffalo mozzarella and cooked in sage and butter was perfect. It's simple and beautiful italian food and not at all expensive.The couple who run the Piadina are friendly and kind and they are genuinely pleased when you enjoy their food. This is Italian cooking at it's best.

Full points for this beautiful restaurant! Such a lovely location, service and food we were really happy for everything. We ordered scallops and burrata as a starters, really lovely taste and pretty plating too. The sauce of scallops could have been bit tastier but still nice! Main courses were sea food pasta and gnochhi, both tasty, big enough and fresh! Big plus for the wines, we loved our dry white wine and ribera. Definitely going back on our next trip to Nerja :)

Just had a really tasty lunch here. My oh had the goats cheese salad (without the ham) as he is veggie and I had the Arabian chicken pie, we shared some patas bravas. The chicken pie was amazing you actually get 4 small pies which are chicken with raisins and spices in filo pastry really delicious and the patas bravas were really good. My oh salad was nice too. Definitely worth a visit.

Went without a reservation after recommendation by friends and we werenât disappointed. We started with bread and an amuse-bouche of creamed chickpeas. For mains we ordered 2 pork shanks and a lasagne, all three meals were nicely presented and the quality of the food was excellent. The portion size, especially the pork, were huge and meant there was no room for deserts. A cappuccino, two bottles of water and a G&T and our food came to a very reasonable â¬60. The staff were very friendly and the service was excellent. La Bottega rightly sits high in the restaurant ratings for Nerja.

We first visited this restaurant in July, and awarded it the( almost obligatory!) 5 stars, because it merited them, and so chose it for my husband's birthday. We arrived at the relatively early time, for Spain, of 8.30 and were seated and offered drinks, then presented with the I Pods containing the details of the menus and a la carte dishes, and busied ourselves deciding what to have. The drinks arrived and the amuse-bouches, and by then we were looking at the Chinese translations and my grandaughter was taking selfies with the I Pod ! Then Miguel, the maitre D, came over to take our orders, and we learned that of the four starters offered, only two were still available: ceviche and foie gras. My granddaughter cannot eat raw fish, or foie, so we regretfully said that we would pay for our drinks and go elsewhere. Both Miguel and Silvio were so apologetic that we ended up apologising to them for leaving, and, of course, the drinks were free. We will go back, perhaps after checking whether they have done all their shopping, but you would have thought that they should have had more availability, or back-up plans should this happen, it wasn't as though it was at the end of a busy weekend, but early on a Wednesday. And just one other thing: Kir Royale should be roughly the colour of a 'blush' rosé, not the colour of Ribena !Estimada/o LYNN Hola de nuevo...entonces...empezamos por parte cuando Usted hizo la reserva...se le preguntò si habia algunas intolerancias o alergia...

Recommened to book to enjoy this rarity for Nerja which is a restaurant run and staffed by Italians serving fresh home made pasta. We had Carbonara with spaghetti and Marinara with fettuchni which were both delicious. As is their custom our meal was rounded off with a digestive of limoncello and moura.Thank you very much for your kind words, we are happy that you liked it here. Hope to see you soon
