Italian Restaurant Mallorca

Il Paradiso Italian Restaurant in Marivent, Palma de Mallorca

The old building which houses this new Italian restaurant in Mallorca is a landmark in Marivent: on the corner before the King’s Palace and opposite the Bellver International School, it stands out amongst the rest of the more modern and some very ugly buildings in this area. The building used to house the luxury hotel Principe Alfonso.

The main dining room of the Italian restaurant is truly splendid and unique in style on the island. It is oval-shaped with floor to ceiling windows to the Cala Mayor bay out beyond. The indoor restaurant will be a hot spot in winter with its high ceilings and heavily decorated cornicing. The traditional tiles on the walls, dark wooden ceiling and round windows, combined with the elegant furniture, makes for a lasting impression on the visitor.

The food highlight of this Italian restaurant is the pasta. Try the penne Paradiso which has beef sirloin sritpes, saute with green peas, marsala wine, mushrooms, fresh basil and parmesan or the pesto linguini with potato, asparagus and parmesan or the linguini with scampi, cherry tomatoes and artichokes in a cream sauce.

The wine list offers a good selection of only Italian wine ranging from €20 to €86 for white and €22 to €235 for rosso. The card includes three of the most famous winemakers in Italy – Gaja, Antinori and Frescobaldi.
