Casa Di Roma

Reviewed By tootrippy

The location is decent right next to Oceanogràfic/hemisferic. The pizzas were decent. But the service was horrible. There was a waiter who was rushing around banging things down on tables, dropping things on guests and insisting that ‘I am just fast’. More like drunk or with anger management issues. The other guy was no good either. He remembered an order for a beer when I finally gave up and asked for the cheque.

Came here after stumbling across this place by accident because it’s off the beaten track, lovely atmosphere and staff super friendly and helpful. Had some rose wine which was only €7 for two large glasses! We wish we had found this place earlier and would have come back again, would recommend.

After reading such good reviews we went here for lunch. It was fantastic! A surprise menu with dishes to share, just for 20 euro per person. More then enough!Really nice food, nice wine and everything for a real good price. We were happily surprised when seeing the check at the end :-) The service was also very enthusiastic and friendly. A hidden pearl, I would say!Thank you for your review, it is a pleasure for us to make our customers happy.

Thistinto Gastrobar

Reviewed By RoP1963

We were very disappointed. We took the degustation menu with selected wines, and with speeds of lightning dishes and 'corresponding' wines (which didn't really match) were 'served', which means simply added to whatever was still at the table. At one point we had 2 dishes and 3 glasses of wine. It was ridiculous. There are way better options, even for the price.. No explanation about food.We were quick because, as we discussed before sitting, we need a table en in an hour and a half and and we have left you half an hour more, modifying all the reserves of the second shift. The tasting menu has 4 dishes+dessert (19.50€) and the wine pairing are 8€ for person. We believe that wines are well pared and 5 dishes every 25 minutes it's ok. We are sorry if you need more time and if you don't like the wine pairing.RegardsElisa

We open the bar 10 years ago. We offer a fresh and tasty food, with a gluten-free and vegetarian option.

This was not quite what I expected from the reviews but good nonetheless. This little bar is in the student district so is priced accordingly. No frills, but pleasant service and good food. Worryingly cheap wine, but actually quite drinkable! Am sure there are plenty of better tapas bars, but if you want good food at a reasonable price and are not looking for neighbourhood ambiance then this is a find.

We booked this restaurant for our wedding anniversary while staying in Valencia. On the morning of our meal, we got an email/whats app message to confirm our dietary needs. My wife is allergic to shellfish, which I already confirmed to them, and I re-confirmed this again when replying to their message.When we arrived at the restaurant, they reconfirmed that they knew my wife was allergic to shellfish. We both ordered the ten-course "Ricard Camarena" tasting menu but were then advised that my wife couldn't have it due to her allergy and they could not substitute some of the dishes with a non-shellfish option. She was advised to have the seven course "Synthesis" tasting menu.This resulted in her having nothing to eat for long periods which is not acceptable. We have been in other fine dining establishments before and they were always able to accommodate my wife. This restaurant was told numerous times about her allergy but were completely inflexible and unable to meet the needs of the diner. The FAQs section in their website states that they can adapt their menu if they are given plenty of notice and if the allergy is not too severe. Many people have an allergy to shellfish and it not considered unusual. To compound matters, they then proceeded to give my wife a starter containing squid which can be considered as shellfish with people with a shellfish allergy. They did replace this starter with a second dessert but as with some other courses, I was eating on my own. Ignoring all the above, the food was extremely underwhelming but we did find a nice bottle of wine to try to rescue the night. When we ordered a second bottle, we were told they did not have one so we had to go look for another bottle.Overall, we were extremely disappointed and were glad to leave.

New restaurant in Valencia, speciality in rice, paella and Mediterranean cuisine. Come and meet us, we have the best prices.

Reviewed By Carloskid

Our hotel tried all day to make a reservation, but the phone was constantly busy. So, without a reservation, we were welcomed, shown a nice table and served by smiling attentive staff. The small outside entrance hides a beautifully appointed surprisingly large multi-story eating area. Our meal was super, the wine was delicious (and reasonably priced) and the whole experience was totally top-shelf. Really, this is a professionally run restaurant with warm small-town feeling. Our whole experience was five star all the way.

Extremely popular paella restaurant, always full and queueing, so book in advance. They provide all kinds of paella, including common seafood or inkfish versions. I would recommend paella valenciana, the earliest and most traditional Valencia taste. This and the vegetarian paella are the 2 dishes that need to book at least 1 day in advance.

Had the opportunity to enjoy a dinner in this place when visiting my family in Valencia. My sisters had already visited the place a number of times and wanted me to enjoy the experience. We had dinner on a Saturday and only choice was a set menu amongst three (the menu only indicates number of steps or dishes). We chose the intermediate one. I always like the fact of not knowing what is going to come for dinner and the surprise factor. During the week you can have dinner "a la carte". We were given a table in the downstairs area, next to the wine cave that you can see through a glass wall. The area was really nice and quiet, perfect for enjoying the dinner and the company. The menu was a real experience. I could not choose which of the dishes I enjoyed most. Good wine recommendation from the staff and the chef /owner came to the table when we finished dinner and I had the opportunity to congratulate her. Magnificent food/ decoration/ crockery and ambiance. I hope to revisit soon!Price was very reasonable for what we had and there is an opportunity during the week to have lunch in the high tables next to the kitchen at very reasonable prices. EXCELLENT
