One of my friends recommended Restaurant Vicolo, and I'm so glad they did! The restaurant is located on Calle la Hoya almost directly opposite the Beehive British Football Pub but please don't be put off by this. The pub is very well managed and attracts no excessive noise, drunkenness or anti social behaviour! I can vouch for this because over the years I've been there many times. Unusually, it was a chilly evening and I was suffering a sore throat as I made my way to the restaurant. Although there were many people eating outside in Vicolo's seated dining terrace, I went inside because of my sore throat and the cold I was feeling. Once inside, I was pleasantly surprised because the restaurant was of contemporary design, very modern and stylish and was in fact quite chic and upmarket. It was also spacious and spotlessly clean with seating for 24 persons inside and the same outside. Much bigger than I'd imagined.I particularly liked the smoky grey, slate-like floor tiles which did look very classy adding that touch of ambience to the restaurant. The subdued almost seductive lighting also enhanced the interior design creating a lovely warm atmosphere which within minutes saw me taking off my coat!A young waiter who spoke excellent English came to my table to take my order so I asked if I could have some fish soup which may have eased my sore throat. But sadly there wasn't any. Instead, I asked for an Americano coffee con leche (with milk) whilst I perused the menu.The waiter soon returned with my coffee served generously in a long glass.From the menu I ordered Spaghetti Marinara a wonderful looking pasta dish containing cooked mussels, shrimps, clams, prawns, cherry tomatoes and parsley. Sounded great!I began sipping my coffee which was really good. In fact it was excellent! By far the best coffee I'd tasted during the three weeks I'd been in Puerto de la Cruz!Although the waiter was constantly taking plates of food to diners eating outside, he still found time to have a chat to me which I found comforting. I then ordered a bottle of water to drink with my meal.It didn't seem long before my pasta dish was being placed in front of me. It looked and smelled absolutely amazing and tasted superb! Everything was piping hot and cooked to perfection. I savoured every mouthful! The different ingredients of fish were blended together so well with the pasta. I enjoyed the meal very much!After my meal, I ordered another coffee and before leaving the restaurant I complimented the chef who'd come to ask if I'd enjoyed his dish.As I left the restaurant and headed out into the coolness of the night, I felt warm. I felt full. I felt good ⦠very good! Another great dining experience! And the bill? 14 Euros! Exceptional value.So how would I sum up Restaurant Vicolo? A lovely, well managed modern restaurant creating a great atmosphere as well as great food. With friendly attentive staff, you'll always be guaranteed a warm welcome here. Highly recommended! Happy dining! Lee A.

Must have walked past this restaurant hundreds of times and didn't give it a second thought. My wife and I both enjoy pasta though and checked out TripAdvisor which highlighted Baricentro.Sometimes you read comments like ' this was some of the best pasta I've ever eaten' and you think, some correspondents 'need to get out more', however, on this occasion they could very well be right!Spotlessly clean, well appointed with interesting Italian artefacts and friendly staff,, so far we were impressed.Two glasses of the very good house rosado helped set the scene whilst we perused and ordered from the well chosen selection of dishes on the menu.Sharing a starter of bruschetta, it was at this point we agreed we had made a good restaurant choice. The bread was lightly toasted and the garlicky tomato topping was seasoned perfectly and drizzled with a nice 'peppery' olive oil - absolutely delicious. Next we both had spaghetti dishes, my wife the pesto and the 'scampi' for me. Both dishes were cooked to absolute perfection, with al dente spaghetti and for my dish, well cooked and succulent prawns in a garlic and chillie oil - historic.To complement the food we selected a bottle of verdicchio, which I must say was reasonably priced and of good quality.Although both of us were 'stuffed full' at this point, we reasoned that since the first two courses were superb, for completeness, we simply had to try the tiramisu.Quite honestly, this was 'up there' with best tiramisu either of us had ever eaten - and being from Scotland we both enjoy our puddings.So there you have it, Baricentro, what a find. So good we went back another twice during our two weeks in Puerto. Thanks for some great meals.

Just sitting in this lovely restaurant having enjoyed a delicious (inexpensive) pizza, a very reasonably priced bottle of montepulciano red and one of the lightest titamisus Ive ever tasted. Good friendly (and multilingual) service. Could happily return to sample more from their wide ranging menu. The whole atmosphere of the place exudes Italy!

We sat down on their terrace with a romantic ocean view and had an excellent seafood risotto and pasta Alfredo with good local red wine. The waiter was nice and the starter bread was so good we took it with us when we left. Simply excellent. Great value for money as well. Also not a problem if you don't speak Spanish as the menus are in multiple languages.
