Where should I begin? This was the best restaurant experience I have had in a very, very long time.
What really is unique with this place, is the incredibly warm and personal welcoming and service from the restaurant owner couple and their lovely colleagues.
The restaurant consists of three spaces, two indoor areas with one open area between. The interior is minimalistic in an Italian way with rustique influences in the choice of furniture and the beautiful plates. On the walls, the works of monthly rotating artists are displayed; hence the name Arte y Cocina. The Italian food with a twist is a joy for all senses with unexpected, lovely combinations of ingredients as well as wonderful presentations. The recommended, local wine accompanied the food perfectly.
We ordered all the starters to share and some in the group had meat dishes, some fish and myself a perfect ricotta spinach pasta dish. All pasta is made fresh in-house. Everyone loved their food and after trying everyone's dishes, I couldn't agree more.
Last but not least, what places this restaurant at the very top of my list in combination with the above, is the very high value for money.
Do yourself a favour and go for dinner at Arte y Cocina tonight already.
Some of the best food we have ever eaten!! Staff we're lovely and accommodating. We did have reserve a table but lucky we got one the next day for the 4 of us. Husband had oxtail and I have the tenderloin of beef and it was amazing!! Will be visiting again next year without doubt!!!
My husband and I had dinner at this newly opened restaurant. Not only was the food well presented ( on beautiful crockery)and very tasty, the service was excellent too. I noticed the restaurant as I walked past, while shopping, because of the simple Scandinavian design and decor, and decided after looking at the menu, which was simple but not lacking choice, and reasonably priced, to return there for dinner the same evening. We were greeted at the door by the friendly owner, who had sound knoledge of both wine and food. Here Less is definately More. The restaurant also acts as a gallery for budding and established artists, which made the room interesting, We will certainly be going back on our last day in Fuengirola, and wish them good luck in the coming season!
