El Castell, located at Plaza Tonico Ferrer Nº14 in the historic Old Town of Altea, is a restaurant that draws visitors with its inviting atmosphere and a menu that leans heavily on Italian cuisine. The establishment features both indoor seating adorned with antiques and a charming terrace that allows diners to enjoy their meals al fresco, surrounded by the picturesque architecture of the old town. The ambiance is enhanced by the lively square, which is often bustling with activity.

The menu is highlighted by wood-fired pizzas, which many patrons rave about for their authentic taste and generous portions. Alongside the pizzas, dishes such as lasagna and provolone cheese served with freshly baked bread have received positive remarks. The service is generally noted as attentive, with staff members providing a welcoming presence. However, there have been mixed experiences regarding the speed of service, particularly during busy periods, where some diners have reported longer wait times for their meals.

While many reviews express satisfaction with the quality of food and the overall dining experience, there are also mentions of inconsistency. Some guests have noted that the quality of the pizzas has fluctuated over time, with instances of undercooked dishes. Despite these occasional drawbacks, El Castell remains a popular choice for both locals and tourists seeking a taste of Italy in a beautiful setting. Whether you're enjoying a hearty pizza or a refreshing salad, the combination of good food and a lovely atmosphere makes it a noteworthy stop in Altea.
