The restaurant was easy to find coming from NJ.
The bar was very intimate & allowed the 6 of us to enjoy some very nice drinks and banter before dinner.
The appetizers were outstanding and the service was spot-on timely.
As soon as one plate was empty it was quietly removed from the table.
The water glasses never got empty, as the servers were on top of everything.
All 6 entrees came out at the same time & were great.

La Candela Española in Staten Island is the kind of place you go to once—and then immediately start planning your next visit. The filet mignon is the star of the show: perfectly cooked, fork-tender, and bursting with flavor. It’s clear the chef knows how to treat a cut of meat with the respect it deserves.

But don’t stop there. The paella is loaded with fresh seafood and rich, saffron-infused rice that tastes like it came straight from the coast of Spain....
La Candela is a Staten Island gem for Spanish and Mexican food. The portions are generous, and everything tastes fresh and flavorful. We ordered and I highly recommend the Paella Valenciana (for two), the Filet Mignon 10oz, and the Skirt Steak Castillo. Their Sangria is also a must-try. My husband and I always order a pitcher when we go there. This place is a solid choice for a satisfying meal with great taste. We love the owner Joe and the bartender Frank. They are awesome!
