Javea Grapevine 337 | Page 144

Probably the best Italian in town. Outstanding and very popular Italian restaurant with some delicious starters and reasonably priced Italian wines. Service is very good service. [Warning: inside, and in the garden as well, you will encounter dreadful muzak - screaming females - and on both occasions we left]. Easy parking at the back. 96 646 1347 www.lacasadellapastajavea.com f.Sun+Mon. Restaurante CASA de la PIZZA (Formerly L’Échalotte) : On Jávea Costa Nova, beside the tennis / pétanque club just before the La Guardia cross roads. Reports very good but we would like to know more! Covered terrace behind. Good parking. 96 647.3364 Rte LE GOURMET (NEW MANAGEMENT - formerly LA GALERA): right next door to Masena on the golf club road. This (previously rather bland) restaurant is now under new management. First reports have not been encouraging. Rte LUNGO MARE (Jávea, Arenal beach front): Italian restaurant – appetisingly large portions (some can be shared!). Low muzak (bravo!) and very good & friendly service.  Often fairly full (in spite of quite high prices) so perhaps better to book.  Every aspect of this restaurant has improved over our last visit. We now recommend it again! 96 647.1196  / open daily [email protected] www.lapiemontesa.com Rte MEZQUIDA: Main road from Jávea old town towards Arenal, on right side, just before the SuperCor/ Iceland roundabout but after Sol-Mar offices.  Pleasant terrace and good ambience. Very popular Spanish ‘family’ restaurant. Serves the best Arroz negro (a delicious rice and squid dish) that we know of.  Superb
