What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Diners praise the restaurant for its exceptional Italian cuisine, particularly the pasta dishes and pizzas, and the beautiful, cozy atmosphere. Service is generally noted as friendly and helpful, with good wine options. However, some found the risotto to be unusual, and one reviewer criticized the rapid service that felt rushed.
"I ordered the Giganti of suckling lamb in Pedro Ximénez and foie gras sauce (Giganti de cordero lechal en salsa de Pedro Ximénez y foie gras) and I genuinely think this may be the best pasta dish I’ve ever eaten.
I wish I could come back to try the Partridge quadrato in boletus and truffle sauce (white) (Quadrato de perdiz en salsa de boletus y trufa), the Rettangoli of suckling pig in a meat and fig sauce with raspberries (Rettangoli de cochinillo en salsa de carne e higo con frambuesas), and more.
Unfortunately the menu is via a QR code and the website is extremely annoying. The pop-up window keeps returning even once you close it."

"What a wonderful experience your restaurant was. Yesterday we ate here for the second time, now with our friends from Holland. The staff is very friendly, helpful and smooth in the operation. We could even speak English! And there was a Menu in English too! Great!
The food was a culinary experience. Beautiful and very flavourful dishes. The prices are friendly and the ambiance was warm and cosy. The rooms pleasantly cooled. We have experienced La Mafia se Sienta a la Mesa Merida as a culinary pearl. We will definitely come back often! Thank you very much!"
