Masa Square, next to the Pub.  Understand proprietor is Italian chef.

Understand proprietor is Italian chef.

...is sadly incorrect based on their Facebook advert advertising for a chef haha

[bertdove]

No, proprietor is a chef:  advert is for additional staff.

Come on boys does it really matter. What does matter is that a new restaurant is opening which may be really good, GA is a challenging market for start ups as the last 15 years have shown us. I used to like those threads where it was name that bar/restaurant, some real blasts from the past came up.The GA restaurant  awards were also entertaining, until it all got nasty.

"La Piazza Ristorante Italiano. Opening 1st July in Gran Alacant. We require a qualified chef preferably with Italian cuisine and 2 waiters/waitresses."

I do truly hope it's a fantastic restaurant. It will save me the trips to Spiga in Alicante when I fancy Linguini with clam sauce.

We've been over the fact that I'm a snob before, I confess, but truly I just want GA to get better. Some of the bars and restaurants that open here - I personally feel - don't improve the neighbourhood. I honestly hope this place is fantastic. I am pessimistic solely based on the performance of countless other places I have seen come and go, but fingers crossed this place is different. I live for the day I can take the grandkids (fine-ish) dining here in GA, rather than having to drive to Santa Pola and Alicante.

Gavetran ive been called worse and even threatened with violence when i criticised a masa square business. But i totally agree GA has always struggled to attract and keep quality restaurants, instead were overun with average mediocre eateries that go bump within 2 years.

Most people in GA don't want high quality restaurants,if they did they would have moved ages ago.

You can read more about the restaurant, menu, owners etc here http://www.lapiazza-ga.com/info2.cfm?info_id=226871

Think it will be a great addition to Gran Alacant!

[BeachLife]

Menu does look great - I'll give it a go !

Looking at the residents on our urbanisation there are only a handful of originals left, personally i would prefer decent bars and restaurants others seem to favour the lower end of the market.

Very true, unfortunately it's a race to the bottom. And you can't polish a T@rd.

Not so long ago after having to endure the racket from the lower end at The Pub whilst having Sunday lunch at The Belfry I vowed never to go to the Masa Square again.

I'll wait for the reviews regarding the new Italian and then decide whether to give it a try - but leave it until September / October when it's a bit quieter and definitely not when Mr Bojangles is shouting er "singing".
