"We first discovered this restaurant years ago when at that time it was a Brazilian barbecue. It was subsequently taken over by ex Cuban Emilio and his family, and turned into an Italian Trattoria. This is a great place where the food is good, the decor is pleasant compared to most other local places, and the prices are very reasonable. Again, unlike many other restaurants in the area, the service is good, the owners and staff very friendly, and they do look after you yes that means actual customer service in Spain I hope you were sitting down! The Pizzas are probably the best around (since the demise of Old Italy , the salads, fish and meat dishes are all good and whilst I am not a great Pasta fan my wife tells me that the pasta dishes are all fine too. Desserts are ok but would benefit from some different ones from time to time. The wines whilst few in number are also ok and reasonably priced. My only criticism would be the need for some new dishes or a variation on both the food and drinks menus occasionally for those that go there weekly (hint hint . In the warmer months the terrace is very pleasant and throughout the tables are not placed too closely together so it is somewhere you can go and actually hear yourself speak when it is busy, those that live here will know what I mean! Another big bonus is that they sell Aperol.... and if you haven't tried it yet....you should! All round summary this is a real home from home feel good place to go and eat, drink, relax and still walk out with the shirt on your back. Oh.... and Emilio you can't play the Michael Buble Xmas album all year round! : Enjoy!"

"Traveling Andalusia Spain we ate our best meals in Nerja Spain. Bella Roma in the charming heart of Nerja was superb (and I don't give that rating lightly). Why? The owner and staff were warm and accommodating and the FOOD, oh the food! Fresh, authentic, generous, delicious. I ordered Pesto pasta and the flavor was deeper and richer than I've had before (or since). I remembered that taste for quite some time. The bread was fresh, the seafood my husband ordered was prepared perfectly. The setting was charming, well lit (not too bright), and relaxing. Honestly, it was a remarkable meal; beautifully presented, served attentively, with all three meals delicious (and they accommodated our gluten intolerant daughter). I can't recommend this restaurant highly enough. The pricing was fair also. A special thank you to the owner. We had to drive all the way to Malaga to pick up our daughter from the bus depot which put us back in Nerja quite late. They closed at 10:30pm and we weren't to arrive back until 10:15pm. It was to be a special meal as we hadn't seen her in months. He graciously promised he would seat us when we got back. They didn't rush us out or skimp in anyway on the service or food. We closed the place down! My only complaint is I have no current plans to return to Nerja or Bella Roma which more and more is feeling like a problem to me. Excellent."
