Had dinner last night at Il Cantuccio and the quality of the food was great. We had the Lasagne and the Veal Ravioli. Good atmosphere and friendly staff..one thing to watch we were given a aperitif which we thought was complimentary but we were charged...other than that a very good meal in nice place.

This restaurant is not for the faint-of-wallet, but on the other hand is not overly priced especially for the quality of food (dinner for 3 with wine and dessert was 120 euros). Many entries in their guest book say "best restaurant in Marbella!". While we have not eaten at so many restaurants here that we can back that claim, we... More

We found the food very good to excellent, but the service was the worst I have ever experienced. We were the first reservation of the evening and were a party of 6. The owner requested reservations, but accepted walk-ins. We watched multiple tables of two served ahead of us. She appeared to serve her friends and regular customers first (predominantly... More

Enjoyed dinner here with my partner. The staff were very welcoming. The food was of a very high standard. The pumpkin ravioli was amazing. I would highly recommend this restaurant for any occasion.

We first visited this restaurant 6 years ago, stumbling across it while exploring the old town, and loved our meal then. Our return visit didn't disappoint, with a small menu the food is very nice including fresh local ingredients and tasty appetisers. The staff were very friendly and compared to some of Marbella's big hitters the price was very good... More

Il Cantuccio was by far the best restaurant we visited whilst in Marbella. It's hidden away around a little corner beside the Santa Maria church, in a beautiful old building. The blonde lady who served us was so friendly, and made us feel very welcome. We really enjoyed our little appetisers of feta and tomato, and spiced chicken and mango... More
