When you get to Casa Mia Italia, the first thing you will notice is there is not a menu. That is because the dishes change every evening, so what is on offer will be explained to you when you arrive. Don’t miss ordering an antipasti platter to start and, if you’re lucky, you will be able to partake of the restaurant’s superb spaghetti bolognese,

or pizza. Dessert too is excellent. No matter what is being cooked that night, however, you can rest assured it will all be fresh and deliciously flavorful.

Peccati di Gola

Peccati di Gola is in one of the prettiest locations in Alicante, with outdoor seating on a gorgeous street and the most delightful rustic ambience in the restaurant itself.

The food is authentic Italian, cooked from supremely fresh ingredients and, with the huge choice of dishes, it will take you most of your time just to decide which delicious dish you want to order.

If you like mushrooms, try the ravioli di prosciutto crudo con salsa de champignon, the tagliolini is superb as is any one of the pizzas and, if you’re in the mood for a calzone, you won’t find a better one than here. Try a traditional apple pie for dessert or, if you want something a little lighter, the tiramisu is lovely.

La Taverna dell’Artista

If you enjoy both a more traditional Italian pizza than what is often served in Spain, or something with a Spanish touch, then La Taverna dell’Artista in Alicante is the place for you as their menu offers both. And, with more than 25 different pizzas, there is a lot of choice. But it’s not just pizza you will want to try here, as the restaurant’s pastas and salads are tasty as well.

The sei formaggio pizza (6-cheese pizza) is incredibly flavorful, the margherita pizza is to die for and, if you like canneloni or ravioli then definitely order it here.

As for salads, people rave about the goat’s cheese salad (which is huge) or, if you prefer less cheese on your salad, the chicken salad is a great choice. Just be aware, portions are enormous so don’t get too ambitious in your ordering, as you very well could end up needing a doggie bag for home.

Prices too are inexpensive, particularly for the large portions and, if you like to sit outside, you will enjoy La Taverna dell’Artista’s pretty terrace.
