Venta Maria

Really one of the best restaurants we’ve had in Andalusia. Perfect Italian meals with high quality ingredients, amazing desserts and wonderful espresso. Thank you Massimiliano!

Exceptional pizza at this roadside Italian restaurant. Delicious vegan pizza possible with incredible eggplant, and fresh salad for tapas, along with a great prosecco.

We read all the reviews on this restaurant and it didn't disappoint. The food, the service and the vibe were all 5 stars. We wanted to visit in the evening but found out it was only open from 13:00 -17:00 highly recommend 👌

Wonderful food, ambient and very friendly service. Italian chef capable of absolute delicious miracles. Highly recommend.

I've known about this place for years but never had been, lots of friends had recommended in the past. Today we had a meeting in Orgiva so decided to drop in. OMG I have never tasted anything so amazing around here. The quality of food is wonderful, service amazing, home made desserts to die for... And red wine served at room temperature. We will be back for sure

We had a lovely experience here. Despite arriving late with kitchen closing at 4 pm the staff were very accommodating. Lovely, friendly service and delicious food - highly recommend and will definitely go back 👌

Extraordinary little restaurant, excellent ambience, both inside and out, with lovely music, predominantly jazz (my favorite) playing softly in the background. Our waiter was enthusiastic and appropriately attentive. And the Food, OMG!! To die for. I had the salmon fresca with asparagus and roasted vegetables....all prepared and seasoned to perfection!!! The chef really is an artist en la cocina. You won't regret treating yourself to this culinary delight.
Esquite!!! (and very affordable as well)❤ Highly recommend!!

Good food nice staff pleasant atmosphere and dancing in a Friday nite

Massimo is a talented Puglian chef who cooks the food he grew up on with great passion. There's a daily changing menu and we enjoyed Delizie Rellenas Rabo Toro (oxtail ravioli); and Gnocci Boscaiola (woodland muchrooms) – among a very varied menu. All our dishes were utterly delicous.

Puddings were to die for - especailly the chcolate pyramid and a coffee/icecream/Baileys option.

Gluten free pasta was provided for one of which was much appreciated.

Thank you Massimo and your team for making it a very special and memorable afternoon.

We spotted this lovely restaurant and as we never tried it and were hungry, why not?!
The place is so lovely!! Exactly what I wanted!! Excellent outdoor space, with shade pretty greenery and flowers secluding you from main road!
The one and only main waiter, a very sweet boy who was very attentive, was wonderful! Not pushy at all and the restaurant owner was also very welcoming!
The restaurant was not full but still plenty of people to give a lovely atmosphere on a sunny January day and there was fantastic music playing!!
The food was 8/10. Could be better but was still nice.

Overall I extremely enjoyed my visit there and would definitely be back whenever I'm next in Spain.

Had a lovely evening in Venta Maria.
The food was delicious, and well accompanied by the house red, suggested by the owner. The owner and staff were very accommodating and helpful. The price was very reasonable.

Best meal I've had in a long time . I am coeliac (gluten free food necessary) and was given lovely food and made to feel very welcome . I will definitely come again .

An excellent Italian Bistro in the hills of the Alpujarra! Everything done by hand!
The team is always happy to please and the atmo is so welcoming & relaxed.
The Daily sheet is perfectly communicated and exceeds both expectations and descriptions...
Amazing!

Could easily be the best food in Orgiva. Freshly cooked Italian food with superb sauces. The chef is passionate about cooking and it shows. Also lovely friendly staff and ambience.
Highly recommended!

Delicious pasta , friendly staff

This was our 2nd visit and as before it did not disappoint. Rustic Italian fare prepared from scratch. Easily the best restaurant in the Alpujarras!

Proper Italian food. Small menu but no need to chose between more when what you get is genuinely well cooked and based on fresh ingredients. Real Italian Espressso, beautiful white and red wine from the Puglia region is available . Fair priced too.

Excellence! Italian food served with passion. Lovely people, lovely atmosphere. This place is often busy with all nationalities. A nice roadside veranda, all the best 1980s music and great service.

Very highly recommended. Definitely some of the best Tapas I've ever had. Great food/drinks and very welcoming staff. Definitely a place to go if you're in the area.

Great little place, fantastic food and friendly staff
