Highly recommended restaurants in the area and personal favourites of ours (and we’re not on commission) include: Terra Sana, in Puerto Banus (952 906 205) in the area behind the Casino. Also in the area at the back of the Casino is the Regina restaurant, a smart Italian restaurant serving more traditional food with nightly entertainment. Plus Casa Italia a friendly, family run Italian restauarant serving traditional pizzas and pastas as well as delicious entrees. These restaurants are extremely popular and it is advisable to book.
