🍕 El Patio: pinsa, pasta and dinner in the old town
El Patio (listed on TripAdvisor as “Restaurante Pizzería El Patio”) is an Italian restaurant in the old town of Alcossebre (Alcocebre), at Calle Santa Lucía 5. It opens for dinner only, from 19:00 to midnight, with tables in a cosy dining room and on the patio terrace that gives the place its name.
Rather than classic pizza, what reviewers mention most are the pinsas (Roman-style flatbread pizzas, such as the three-cheese one) and the crispy lasagne, which several guides call its signature dish. The menu also features pasta with porcini and foie gras, spaghetti carbonara, goat’s cheese salad, beef carpaccio with foie and kataifi-wrapped prawns; for dessert, Nutella pizza or chocolate fondant.
It is mid-priced (€€): Restaurant Guru puts it at €20-30 per person, although many diners report paying €30-50. There is no website; book by phone on 964 41 29 48 and check its Facebook page for news.
💬 What diners say
On TripAdvisor it scores 4.3 out of 5 from 567 reviews (no. 8 of 85 restaurants in Alcossebre, October 2026), with 4.4 for food and atmosphere; on Google, 4.5 from about 1,040 reviews according to Restaurant Guru. Recurring praise: friendly, attentive staff, a homely, cosy feel, good pasta and pinsas, a well-chosen wine list and quick service even when it is full.
There are some downsides too: a few 2025 and 2026 reviews say quality dropped after a change of chef, others mention long waits between courses or paper tablecloths for the price, and the patio can get hot in summer.
