Our Story

Three generations of Italian cooking

Trattoria Da Mario opened in 1995, founded by Mario Rossi who moved from Naples to the Costa del Sol. What began as a small kitchen serving the local Italian community has become Benalmádena's favourite Italian table.

Every morning, our kitchen starts with fresh pasta made by hand — just like Nonna taught Mario. Our pizzas are cooked in a traditional wood-fired oven built from Neapolitan bricks. We source our ingredients from Italy: San Marzano tomatoes, buffalo mozzarella from Campania, DOP olive oil from Liguria.

This is not fine dining. This is family cooking, served with warmth.

What Our Guests Say

★★★★★

"The best carbonara I've had outside Italy. The pasta is made fresh every day — you can taste the difference. We come here every Sunday with the family."

— Sarah M., TripAdvisor
★★★★★

"Found this gem by accident. The wood-fired pizza is incredible — thin crust, perfect char. The tiramisù is homemade and the best I've had in Spain."

— James K., Google
★★★★★

"Mario himself came out to greet us. Such warm hospitality. The burrata is heavenly and the wine list has great Italian options. A real neighbourhood trattoria."

— Elena R., TheFork
