Well what can I say about this restaurant except it was spectacular food. Firstly the service was excellent they were very attentive and cared about our experience within the restaurant. I especially give a big shout out to valentin for the fun, attentive and excellent service that we provided us on our evening out. Our drinks were wonderful we had everything from the wine to the cocktails for a group of 6 of us. I advise all the gin it was stunning and they had a good tonic. The wine was lovely (or so I was told from one of the ladies in the group) you will not go far wrong with any drink in this restaurant. The food.....well oh my goodness there was not a floor on the the taste, so much care has been given to the process of cooking and presenting the food. We advise the bunga bunga it was on another level, but here was not one person unhappy with the food. So big shout out to the chef. The atmosphere - low lighting, great background music, well spaced out. You are not rushed in anyway, you could relax in this restaurant all night drinking and it would be a great night. Location- it is located off the main harbour and honestly I have to say it was better, you are away from the flashing lights, mad drinking and loud cars. However, you are very short walk back to the party lights if you want to. It really depends on the night you want, alternatively you can have a bit of both. Overall this was one of the best restaurants I have eaten in a long time. Thank you for your detailed feedback on visiting our restaurant! we are very happy that you were satisfied with visiting us! We are always happy to see you again for positive emotions at a delicious dinner! Congratulations again to your birthday and wish you all the best!

Called here for lunch on day after strolling along the Paseo Maritimo and working up an appetite, the restaurant was empty so we were a bit apprehensive, we needn't have worried. The young waitress lady told us that if we didn't like our meal, then we didn't have to pay for it, so we sat down, ordered drinks and a pizza to share and enjoyed watching the world go by in lovely surroundings in chairs with cushions.When our Pizza arrived you could see that it was home made, fresh and very hot and tasty, IT WAS SUPERB, a bit on the dear side but worth every cent.We can highly recommend this restaurant, especially if you like Pizza, well worth a visit even if only for a drink in nice surroundings.The restaurant is extremely clean and well presented and the staff are very welcoming and friendly.

Cibo is about wonderfully fresh, contemporary authentic Italian food at sensible prices. Fresh food. Beautifully simple. Presented in a happy bustling environment. Cibo is informal but with excellent customer service. A place to meet and share fresh food

We visited on my husbands 40th birthday. I contacted the restaurant in advance to let them know and was advised theyâd put balloons at the table and play happy birthday when they took out his dessert, they didnât do either and didnât even acknowledge his special birthday. The food was good, the service couldâve been better and we were put off a bit by the smokers nearby.

I had dinner with friends here this evening. Beautifully prepared grilled sole, prawn pasta and meat. Wines were great and the waiters very friendly. This restaurant is a must visit.By the way there is plenty of off-street parking with an attendant watching the cars.

We enjoyed an excellent dinner here at this very special Italian restaurant.The service was faultless, with the waiters being incredibly helpful in all areas. The ambience and surroundings here are special, as you would expect at a Puente Romano based location. The food (especially the pasta) was fresh and extremely tasty.The wine list was superb, very realistically chosen with a decent choice in all price brackets. Our waiter was great in assisting choosing the right pairing for our food choices.A repeat visit beckons as soon as possible !

Went here for a meal as it had been suggested to us.We were given a table by the door but there was an overpowering smell of drains. We ordered a drink but the smell made my husband feel sick, so we had to leave.I hope they can get it sorted as it would have been impossible to eat with that smell....!Hi. Please could you tell me when you came to us? We donât remember that happening. If you could please confirm it was our restaurant in la campaña as some people mistake us for a restaurant in puerto banus with a similar name, that does have a drainage problem

Cerrado por vacaciones hasta el 28 de marzo. Disculpen las molestias. Closed for holidays until 28th November. Sorry for the inconveniences.

Letâs not beat around the bush; this is a spit and sawdust place with no frills in a barrio located to the north of Marbella . Itâs a pleasant stroll from the old town that will certainly sharpen your appetite. Probably not where you would expect to eat on your holiday to Marbella (effectively in a council estate with a vista of washing lines complete with freshly laundered knickers, vests and bras). But donât let this put you off. If youâre looking a really good crispy based pizza, with a few cold beers, thatâs as cheap as chips - you really canât go wrong. Take a walk up the hill and give it a try.You wonât regret it!
2. Gioia Plant Based Cuisine

Gioia is a fully plant-based (vegan) restaurant in Marbella. Our food is mainly organic, gluten-free and we offer many raw food dishes as well as delicious sweet treats. Fresh juices and smoothies.

Poor service from cold and aloof waitress, no smile simply said "ready?" Food is very over priced for what it is - especially the raw dishes which are the first 3 on the mains section. Location is on a busy road with car horns being a problem here. Not a pleasant atmosphere. The only thing stopping me giving a poor review is that it is entirely plant based.Waitress also kept sneezing loudly which was also off putting.If you want plant based food go to Manuka, you will not be disappointed and it is on Beach front too.Hi there!I'm really sorry to hear that the service wasn't up to standard during your visit. Unfortunately our waitress (who normally gets beautiful reviews) had a bad flare-up of seasonal allergy - causing low energy and sneezing - that day. Again, our sincerest apologies that this disrupted your meal.In regards to the traffic noise there is unfortunately not much we can do about that. Regarding the pricing we'll have to agree to disagree on that one. We carefully select the best quality and organic ingredients we can find and all food is made in house which is reflected in the prices. The raw dishes we have are very popular with our customers but of course everyone has different preferences. Fantastic to hear that you've found a restaurant better suiting your taste and perhaps Manuka appreciates that you use your reviews of other restaurants to spread the word.Thanks for supporting the plant-based concept!Kindly,Patricia

Completely handmade ... all done at the moment and in front of you with the best raw materials of high quality ... a work developed by a specialized and professional department, (we inform) is a small place just to take away.
