El Rincon De Italia La Bella - Salinas

Well I didn't have much faith 3n them about 4 years ago I was but everything changed, the seafood rissoto is super generous in tronch and good price. And the best was all super friendly with my 4-legged son. They made it feel included

Food is very rich, however the price is high and the amount of food is low, the service of the waiters is very bad.

If there was a chance to put 0 stars in this place I would. When I arrived with my family we asked if they took credit card, and they said yes, now I understand that was only so we would sit down. When we went to pay with the card, the machine was broken ... the meal was $56, and we only had $53. They demanded that we go and get more cash to pay, threatened us if we didn 't and then made us go and get the cash. Even though we returned, after finding a working ATM in Salinas, with cash, hey woman working there was SO rude. This is literally the worst experience I have had here in ecuador, after living here for many many years. I will NEVER eat there again and I really recommend you don 't go there unless you want to be badly treated and threatened. Terrible.

On my second trip to the malecon in Salinas I ate at the Italian La Bella restaurant. The staff was very very polite and patient in pointing out menu items on both a Spanish menu and the English menu. this is a two-story place with fish tanks on the side in the back is very very light bright and blue. It looks nice on the outside too and it certainly welcomes and attracts tourists. I chose the fish soup which was a big bowl which came with added heat and spiciness with a side dish of salsa. The Pina Colada was delicious. I also ordered a large espresso. I would say that the service was better than the food.

Decent food, friendly staff. It is right in front of a beach
