Just amazing. A friend told me about this place and I decided to check it out with a couple friends visiting from Berlin. We were all blown away, the food was amazing and the guy was just so friendly and accommodating. I will surly try everything on this menu eventually. Just amazing.

Although we have experienced many restaurants in Spain in which the staff didn't speak English or was rude, the staff of La Torre De Pizza really did a good job: she spoke a sufficient amount of language, and even better: she truly helped to overcome any language barriers! Very friendly, very correct. The pizza's were excellent of taste, size and temperature. I would definitely eat here again!

Stop in for a pre-dinner drink, you won't be disappointed. The little beers are cheap and the bar provides slices of pizza along for free. Or stay and have a pizza at the restaurant, we didn't.

Stayed in a hotel nearby and wanted to get a pizza, so this was a welcome discovery on TripAdvisor. From outside, the restaurant looked not too inviting, but I actually had the best pizza there since a long time (recommendation: Quattro Staggioni with figs), owners are very nice as well!

Found the lovely square Plaza Virgen de la Encina where there were lovely restaurants cafes and bars. We choose to have dinner at La Capricciosa. Nice outdoor seating looking at the square people watching. Nice friendly waitress . We had a Cesar salad which was huge and Linguinne clams which were delicious. Gin and tonics and water very reasonable 34 euros. Would recommend.

I have visited this establishment several times, including while doing the Camino in October 2014, and I highly recommend it.This is a small cafe/restaurant on the Camino de Santiago in Ponferrada. First and foremost - the coffee is delicious. They serve organic and Fairtrade coffee, which is the same price as any other coffee in Ponferrada - 1.10⬠in November 2014. And being in Castille Y Leon you also receive a 'pincho' included with your drink, which at Agora is a small slice of pizza and a small piece of toast with hazelnut spread.They have an extensive menu of foods, from all around the world (one of the few places that serves sushi on the Camino!) and I have tried a number of dishes from the menu and none has disappointed (including the sushi). All of the pastries are delicious - highlights being the Tarta de Manzana (Apple Pie) and the Tortillo Feo Portgues - a sort of chocolate brownie. They also make delicious cookies.All products are made on site - and as the review bey Selma82 states - the team that work there are extremely friendly and kind - and they also speak good English. It is open late and so a good option for post-walking nutritious and delicious meal.So whether walking the Camino or visiting Ponferrada for other reasons, I highly recommend Agora for a light snack, lunch or dinner.

Pizzeria Trastevere: 30 years making the best italian classic food. Pasta,pizza,lasagna,salads,meat... Using only fresh ingredients.

We were "welcomed" by grumpy staff who seemed to be annoyed by the presence of customers. We ordered and, whilst I don't expect for every restaurant to cater for children, a warning about the size of the dishes would have been nice. My 11-year-old nephew ordered a schnitzel with fries which was big enough for him to make 3 meals out of it. Also, the fries were cold and soggy when they arrived. Needless to say, most of the dish went back to the kitchen. Now the adult food...- Cannelloni that were not offensive, but definitely there was a lot of room for improvement - for example, if you are to sprinkle them with cheese on top, it would be appreciated if said cheese were sprinkled throughout, rather than only over 1/4 of the dish.- My pasta, homemade pasta with funghi porcini, was probably the best in terms of flavour but the pasta must have been boiled with insufficient water and most of the tagliatelle were stuck together in little bundles and, as a result, some bits were cooked some uncooked. Not very pleasant to eat.- A burrata salad so over-the-top in an attempt for whoever designed it to be creative that was turned into a mediocre salad at best - my husband described it as awful. Too many unnecessary ingredients made the delicate flavour of burrata disappear. - And "best" for last. A ham and porcini risotto that would make Italy declare war to Spain if an Italian were ever to try this abomination of a dish. So many wrong things with it that it makes it pretty hard to choose one to start with... The ham was old and tasted disgusting. The risotto was NOT risotto: wrong type of rice and it was most definitely not cooked as risotto should be cooked (for the record, I have lived and worked in Italy, so do know my Italian food). It tasted and looked like the rice had been boiled separately and then quickly mixed with the porcini and the old ham. It was sitting on a bed of what looked like flavoured water - nowhere close to the creamy texture that a risotto should have. It all went back to the kitchen. When our table was cleared, the waiter asked whether my sister-in-law hadn't liked her risotto. We said she hadn't (she was not at the table anymore) and all we got was a "she should have said, we'd have brought her something else". Not the slightest attempt to find out what was wrong with it. We were also charged for it. I've read reviews that talk about this place being good value for money and can only conclude the people who wrote them are foreigners who live in expensive cities. I grew up in Ponferrada but now live in London. I can tell you that â¬16 for a plate of pasta in Ponferrada is daylight robbery - especially for a plate of poorly cooked pasta. I can get better and cheaper in London, where the cost of living is 5 to 10 times higher than Ponferrada (depending on what it is that you're buying).It gets 2 stars instead of one because of the only good thing it's got: the venue itself. Great location and great decor. But I shan't be going back.
