The Italian Job

It’s often difficult to decide exactly where to eat out, especially if there are a lot of people in your group. Like every group, someone always takes up the position of elected driver and that’s OK if that person doesn’t drink but unfair if everybody is letting their hair down.

That familiar discussion about where to go is something that I personally experienced this week. We turned to the Internet and the name of a restaurant popped up, the reviews were fantastic and it was likened to some of the more credible ones located in Los Alcázares.

One of the key things to mention here is that the restaurant provides a free pickup and drop off service. This initiative is new and proving extremely popular and given that the location is some 20 minutes from Los Alcázares, very valuable. Vehicles are sign written and the drivers are English, it’s by no way a silent journey as they are so passionate about what they do.

Many of you know; “Little Sicily” that has established it’s reputation with the local community and residents. Palco has strong ties as it’s owned and operated by the owners father. He did make a brief appearance to introduce himself and the staff. It was a nice touch and I think in someway played to the ambience which everyone enjoyed.

As we walked in, there was someone to greet us and offer drinks, the bar area is the first thing that strikes you as you enter. Well lit with trained waiters and waitresses we were able to order our drinks straight away and had little time to wait for our starters.

The menu itself is diverse and offers Italian specialities freshly prepared and far from bland. The decor is very modern and clean lined. Price is competitive for food in this restaurant class, if you are looking for something very different where the focus is on price, service and quality then this would be a place that I would recommend. 

At the end of your meal your allocated driver will drop you off, I hope that you have enjoyed this article, I will be interviewing one of Los Alcázares well known photographers in the first week of September and as the blog expands will be reviewing more places of interest.
