Stuzzikini Marbella - Good Italian Restaurants Marbella


Saturday Night we happened to be in Marbella Old Town having come across the Carnival there.  We stumbled on Stuzzikini which was recommended to me just a few days beforehand.

From the outside, looks very quaint and small, lovely colours and atmosphere. On entering, was welcomed, all the staff very nice.  Because we didnt book and was given a table at the front and told that we had to give the table up for 930.  No prob... it was only 7.15pm.

First came some lovely bread with tomato and another with tuna...delicious.  Then our order was taken and we (2 adults 1 child) went for the chicken liver with onions and bacon on crostini, followed by 2 pizzas, margerita and then the fresh basic and mozzarella, 2 glasses of wine and a water.

Then some more bread was put on the table with a delicious olive oil and balsamic.  It was also delicious.

The chicken liver was amazing....I never eat stuff like this normally.  It was very very tasty.  The pizzas came and knew I should have ordered 1 pizza and 1 salad.  They were big (11").  Both were very good but the fresh mozzarella & basil was superb.  The whole pizza base was good to perfection and flavoured so well.

By the time we finished our pizzas, the restaurant started filling up.  Up until this time service had been really really good, then we seemed to be forgotton about a little.  We wanted to share 1 dessert and another bottle of water, but after waiting for quite a while for even eye contact in the end my husband had to get up and ask for the bill.  My daughter started to get very tired and I preferred to go.

Bill was about 26€uros for chicken livers, 2 pizzas, 2 glasses of wine and a water, plus all the delicious bread to start with. 

Regardless of how the service ended up, the food was great and it changes every week, its fresh, its delicious and what I loved was that everyones part of the team there, even the chef came out and gave us our pizza. 

Will we go back....100% yes.

We have been back to the restaurant lots of times and the food is always very good. We cannot fault it.

However, if you take an early table, you are reminded that you have to leave it by 9 or 9.30pm.

Unless you sit outside I wouldnt say it is child friendly. We went with some friends and 3 kids. the kids were chatting and laughing and were then told to be quiet as the family next to us were having a relaxing meal, which included 2 kids that looked bored to death.

The specials are amazing, but can be very expensive. The last time we went it was sucking pig, literally 2 square peices of about 4cm x 4cm for 18€uros. This was very pricey. No vegetables, no potatos, nothing else.

Pizzas are great, the salads and the lasagne too.

Another great place for cheap pizzas, tapas, chicken etc is Mas Que Pizza
