The way to approach customers is simply ridiculous. I arrived with my family of 5 people for lunch. There were at least 4 empty tables in the Glicínias restaurant when we arrived. The attendant then addressed us rudely and told us to wait for one of the tables to be free. Well, we waited for more than 10 minutes for release without the attendant deigning to explain to us the reason for such a long delay.
We gave up waiting after about 15 minutes and left. We will never return to this restaurant again.

Everything incredible and wonderful, impeccable food
I ordered the shrimp risotto which was especially tasty.
Super attentive and polite waiter recommended almost everything to us, including a very refreshing sparkling wine sangria.
I highly recommend it and the restaurant has a super affordable price.
Congratulations to the whole team

Completely disappointed with the entire experience. My mother and I decided to eat at this restaurant because of the atmosphere inside, before entering we were shown several “offers” on the posters, in my case a pasta carbonara for €7.30 and in my mother's a Margarita pizza for just a little more than €7. We decided that we would go in because these promotions were more appealing than a simple McDonalds but it was the worst decision. To begin with, the lady who sat us at the table was quite dry and “rude”, not friendly and, to begin with, gave a bad impression.Then they brought us the menu and then we realized that the prices were completely different to those on the posters outside. My carbonara pasta was almost €5 more expensive and the pizza was €4 more expensive. No problem, anyway, due to the atmosphere and the appearance of the sweets in the window and the photos on the posters, it seemed like a more “quality” place, so we decided to ask for it but at no point was it explained to us why the advertising was misleading.To drink, my mother asked for a natural juice and I asked for a 25cl water. A 50cl water was brought to me and before I could even tell the girl that it wasn't the one I wanted, she had already opened the bottle for me, turned her back and walked away.After about 15 minutes our dishes arrived at the table and it was from then on that we really regretted having entered this restaurant. My carbonara pasta was literally swimming in what appeared to be vegetable oil, not even olive oil, I could tell by the smell and consistency of the oil. There were at least 5 tablespoons of oil on my plate alone, and I'm not exaggerating. Afterwards, the cheese they used was perfectly clear that it was not Parmigiano Regiano but rather one of those cheap versions of Parmesan cheese because the cheese did not melt into the pasta or make that creamy sauce, I could perfectly feel the somewhat “powdery” texture of the cheese, and the “bacon” they used wasn’t bacon, it was ham. The flavor of the pasta was really mediocre, as I really like eating pasta carbonara and in general pasta with cheese sauce I was genuinely irritated by the fact that I could make better at home. For the €11.50 dish, it wasn't even €5, the instant carbonara pasta from the continent that costs €1.50 tastes better. Then the Pizza. The size of the pizza was a regular one, with just tomato sauce, cheese and ham. The pizza tasted good, quite average and once again, mediocre, for the price asked, whereas it would have been better to buy a pizza from Mercadona for the same price and it would have tasted better and I was much more satisfied. The funniest part, but what irritated me the most, is that the “dough” (because you can't call it dough) was approximately 1.5mm thick, and genuinely a wheat tortilla from the supermarket was at least twice as thick. size in terms of thickness. It was so thin that my mother managed to finish the pizza in less than 5 minutes and was dissatisfied. And they can know that it is simply ridiculous when the napkins they gave us were much thicker than the dough for the so-called “pizza”. For my part, I didn't even try to finish the dough. It was just disgusting and unpleasant, it was a horrible experience.In the end we asked for the bill and it was a total of €29 but we would have eaten much better and been much more satisfied, happy and without stomach aches if we had bought it at McDonalds.I invite you all not to enter this restaurant, and not to eat any dish there. We still wanted to try one of the desserts they had on display but we were so disappointed with every aspect of the restaurant that we preferred to leave and eat two creams downstairs.This experience was on Saturday and I hadn't thought about writing any review but I decided to do so because since Saturday until today I haven't been able to eat anything else, I think I had food poisoning or quite severe poor digestion of the food.I ask you not to take any risks or spend your money in this mediocre place. Not worth it.

A little disappointed because I expected more... the dough I make at home is better. But that's it, it wasn't bad and the service was ok. It's nothing spectacular and for the price you pay, you'll find much better pasta in Italian cuisine places.

I loved the experience. After reading some comments I was apprehensive, but I can only conclude that the less positive comments were due to a poor menu choice.Everything was very good, 2 people, we chose to share the dishes. Starters: aglio bread with cheese (very good) and crostini. Dish: Italian Republic pizza. For desserts, the choice was not easy: pumpkin petit gateau (with divine tangerine ice cream) which surprised and affogato (delicious).Super attentive staff, the atmosphere is no better because the "tuga" likes to talk loudly while eating, the dishes chosen lived up to expectations (the desserts exceeded them).Suggestions for improvement: the white wine list could be better, the tiramisu has to be Italian (without cream) and the crostini bread, if toasted and brushed with garlic oil or pesto, would be better.Points to highlight: the friendliness of the staff, the thin pizza crust, the tangerine ice cream and the affogato.I will return to repeat my choices and try other dishes.

Pasta choice, Pasta carbonara and Calzone were the chosen dishes. Calzone pasta with little flavor comes with burnt bread. Dirty dishes and frying pans are black.
