Eating is always the best plan! But, you know, there are places, and places. I love when, visiting a new city, locals recommend to me the best places to enjoy a good dinner. At the end, you always look for the same things: reasonable price, good customer service, a vivid (that not loudly) atmosphere, and, of course, tasty dishes!

Gusto is an italian restaurant in Malaga city centre where you will be able to taste delicious pizzas ‘napolitanas’, pasta, carpaccio and other italian recipes. The pizzas are baked in a stone oven and the dough is incredible!
Also, their desserts are made with the traditional italian recipe.
2. Fiel de fechos
Coming inside Fiel de Fechos restaurant is like coming to a circus. This thematic restaurant is originally decorated with circus elements and colors. There are colorful wallpapers all over the place and many masks and beautiful decorations but the best part is absolutely the plating. Food is served in original platas.
The best dish there, in my opinion, is the potato omelet (tortilla de patatas) that comes inside a huge egg!
