Don Pino - Alicante

Stopped by with 2 friends for lunch today were greeted by a very lovely waitress. We ordered both a marinara carbonara pasta along with a ham pineapple pizza. All being exceptional. Would highly recommend! @d.ravs

We were on vacation in Spain, visiting and eating in Barcelona, Valenica, Tarragona, Sitges, and Allicante. Italian cuisine is our favorite. We tried Italian restaurants in each city. The Don Pino Ristorante in Allicante was superb ... the Best! It is a small family run restaurant in the upscale San Juan neighborhood. It had a lovely atmosphere inside with lots of special artwork, plus several tables outside. Pino the chef is an artiste, creating delicious appetizers, main dishes, and desserts. So much excellent food we didn 't want to leave. We returned multiple times, each time with new taste delights. Service by Raffaela was so friendly she made us feel right at home, like part of the family. Prices were quite reasonable: a very good value. We recommend this as the best Italian cuisine we have ever had.

We walked 1.5 km to this nice restaurant and it was worth it! The interior is nicely decorated, cute atmosphere. The food was great and the waitress extremely friendly. O, and we paid €28 for one starter, two mains and two drinks. Anyway: highly recommended to go here.

The hosts were very nive to us, there vas a good variety of dishes and the pizza was very nice (wood oven cooked). I definetly recommend it!

Went last night with a family group of 7 plus 2 under 5's and what a little gem it was. Sat outside, served by the owners daughter, who understood the groups Black Country accent well and handled us and her other tables with a lovely smile and efficient service. We ordered the tomato bruschetta and garlic bread, both freshly prepared, the bruschetta was a delight as the bread was lovely and soft can't tell you the amount of times I've have the melba toast equivalent served) and tomato topping fresh and light hints of garlic and herbs. The group ordered 3 pizzas, a lasagna, spaghetti carbonara and 2 different options of gnocchi I ordered the pesto gnocchi and jokingly asked for a large portion, which the waitress automatically replied if I wanted a portion and a half, which I confirmed. When it arrived, the amount was just spot on for a ravenous ex rugby player, it was well balanced with the level of tasty pesto sauce and gnocchi and overall a thoroughly tasty meal, my niece ordered the alternative, a tomato one, and she also enjoyed her meal to. Overall I think the group enjoyed their meal, given the silence that descended on the table when the food arrived, with the penguin colony sound effect replaced by lip smacking, nodding of heads in enjoyment, plates being swapped as we tried each others food and kids asking for more slices of pizza.
