We loved it! The pizzas are delicious and they also have a lot of variety and originality. The ingredients are full of flavor. They were very quick. The waitstaff are charming. And, for us who love salsa (music), they had a fantastic list of salsas playing in the background 😍 What more could we ask for? 🙈 We didn't order dessert, but it looked really good!!!

If you're looking for an authentic Italian restaurant in Altea, In Bocca al Lupo is a must-visit. Valentina was our waitress, and from the very first moment, the service was excellent, friendly, and very professional, the kind that clearly comes from passion rather than a manual. They greet you with a smile, explain the menu thoughtfully, and serve you at perfect intervals, without rushing but also without endless waits. The quality of the food is outstanding. Good products, well-prepared, and recipes that respect Italian tradition without unnecessary pretension. Each dish arrives at the table well-presented, hot, and with clear, balanced, and honest flavors. You come here to eat well, not to take photos. And now for the serious part: the pizza. I've tried many, in many places, and I can say without exaggeration that the pizza alla carbonara they make here is the best I've ever had. Perfect crust, top-notch ingredients, and an incredible balance. It's not heavy, nothing is left over, and when you finish, you only think about when to come back. The atmosphere is cozy, comfortable, and pleasant, ideal for both a quiet lunch and a special dinner. In Bocca al Lupo does not disappoint: impeccable service, high-level cuisine, and a pizza that justifies the trip. A restaurant I would highly recommend. I will definitely return because when a place does everything right, it always shows.

This is a lovely Italian restaurant. We had some of the best Italian I've ever had. It looked very nice even through the inviting front door so we went in and what a nice surprise. I had a saffron sausage pasta dish which was amazing and my dad had a seafood soup that was FULL of mussells, sepia, white fish, red shrimp, razor fish, and a lovely broth. I have it saved in case I come back this way and to recommend it to friends.

Fantastic. Super rico.. delicious. Friendly staff and cosy ambience. We had a seafood risotto and a salmon pizza (and two glasses of wine) - in total just under 50 euros. The taste was authentic and delicious- very fresh! Very good!! We will come back here. With so many options in altea - to find a a place with excellent service (grazie Valentina), food, location and price is a real find. Easy 5 stars.

The best Italian restaurant in Altea. The food is excellent and very refined, far from the typical pizzerias. The pasta is very good; we ordered the ravioli filled with ragù and the tagliatelle with porcini, and both dishes were delicious. The burrata starter with grilled vegetables was incredible. And the cannolo for dessert was also very good. We will come back to try more items from the menu. 😋

A very nice restaurant, just below the chapel. The dishes garnished with black truffle were particularly delicious. Highly recommended. We've been there several times.
