The owner is passionate about his food which is exceptionally prepared and presented. Better than usual Italian restaurant made even more special by the lovely staff.

we visited La Vecchia Roma because it advertised gluten free pizzas, pastas and bread and my son has coeliac disease. The food was excellent and my son really enjoyed being able to eat the same as us (although his was obviously gluten free) and didn't feel left out. We tried his bread and pizza and it was lovely.

We were the only visitors on a September night there which was a pity as the place is really nice. I was totally happy with my salad and pasta, my friends a bit less so. But this is definitely a good place for those missing Italian food in Spain

Having read all the good reviews about this place, we decided to go for a visit and were not disappointed at all. The whole experience was wonderful. The place itself is small and quite cosy holding about 40 people. The Romanina waitress who has been there for 3 and a half years was very pleasant, although there was no sight... More

My wife and I live in Spain and only 15 minutes from Denia but, until last night, had never visited La Vecchia Roma. We reserved a table for 8.30pm [a bit early for restaurantes visited by Spaniards in Spain] and went with our daughter who has lived in Spain for 16 years. We were the first people in the restaurante... More

Excellent Italian restaurant, air conditioned but small and cosy, simply designed but serving exquisite Italian specialities. The owner does make the effort to come and talk to you, has an interesting much traveled history and is exceedingly enthusiastic about Italy and Italian cuisine, It isn't cheap but neither is the experience. My taste buds are still telling me it was... More

While visiting Denia recently we thought why not try Italian food in Spain! It was the best decision we made. We felt immediately at home, the owner came to our table to chat with us. He spoke about the food with such passion, told us about the ingredients, how he makes fresh pasta and bread every day, real dedication! And... More
