Italian cuisine feels right at home in Spain. Both regions rely on simple but high-quality ingredients such as sun-ripened tomatoes, premium olive oil and buffalo mozzarella, which “sheds a tear” when cut, as they say in Italy. Here you will find restaurants that combine the best of Mediterranean cuisine.

In the heart of Marbella's old town, chef Pablo Rebollo invites you on a journey of discovery into Castilian cuisine. He creatively combines the traditional cuisine of his homeland with new gastronomic techniques to create a surprising gastronomic experience. The à la carte offer is complemented by three tasting menus. The interior is modeled on a typical bodega.
