We again visited The Lounge a few times, during our recent holiday in May.....we just can't stay away!!!. The food is so delicious and Simon is such a lovely host, who will go out of his way to make your dinning experience perfect. We had Tapas a couple of lunch times (which is to die for) with a lovely bottle... More

We didnt spot it easily as the sign is not huge... for others looking for it go to beach at the area where the sand goes out to the rocks in the middle of Benalmadena bay between the marina and castle bil...

After reading the reviews on here I have been meaning to dine here for some time. The opportunity arose when the local steak resturant was closed. The food is presented very well & the host "Simon" was very attentive to our choices. Its a fabulous setting on the paseo maritimo up a few steps on top of another sea front... More

Me and my partner visited mid August last year for lunch on the advice of my grand parents who own a house nearby. The fresh food was fantastic, the special of swordfish was lovely. The choice of wine was brilliant :-) not forgetting an ice cold glass of Buck's Fizz! Can't wait to come back in August :-)

We went to Pinoccios twice, firstly for a beautiful evening meal (, delicious soup). And also for breakfast, which was great. The food is good quality, and well cooked, very fresh and cooked to order. The prices are very reasonable also. As it is upstairs the views are lovely. We would definitely go back there.
