The Alel\u00ed Marbella restaurant, owned by Dani Garc\u00eda Group, opened in the summer of 2022 and has quietly gained a loyal gourmet fan base. Italian cuisine is not only one of the most loved, but also one of the most interpreted by chefs around the world. However, here at Alel\u00ed, with sincere attention to the quality of the products used and the technique of preparation, the dishes have an authenticity, but at the same time reflect Dani Garcia’s signature style and creativity.
\nMarbella is a gastronomic hub, already home to Dani Garcia’s award-winning Le\u00f1a restaurant. Now Aleli has blossomed, a new flower in the gastronomic garden of the city. The restaurant is located in the Puente Romano area on the Golden Mile, in a charming Andalusian building with a garden terrace reminiscent of Tuscany.
\nThe menu is a gastronomic journey through the regions of Piedmont, Lombardy, Lazio, Campania and Sicily, with dishes ranging from different types of mortadella to handmade fresh pasta, including agnolotti del plin from Piedmont.
\nSeduced by the cocktails, we started our unforgettable evening with a classic Venetian Bellini and ‘La Gran Selezione di Alel\u00ed’, a great plate of antipasti. As Simone, our waiter, explained, the sausages were cut to order in an old meat grinder, in the best mode, which maximizes the taste of stracciatella and mortadella de Bologna.
\nThe open kitchen has an amazing wood-fired oven where traditional Neapolitan-style pizzas are prepared and baked to order with a 48-hour fermentation time.
\nThere is also a wide selection of dried and fresh pasta to start your Italian holiday. However, we opted for the gnocchi made with roasted pumpkin rich in blu di bufala cheese and pumpkin oil.
\nSecond plate options included specialties such as beef with marsala wine, chicken with lemon, and lamb. It’s a hearty, generous menu that feels authentic, but with original touches.
\nAleli’s wine range is inspired by Dani Garcia’s passion for fresh wines with a Mediterranean twist, so expect delicious Spanish wines as well as Italian wines from small Tuscan producers in Montalcino like Sassicaia, Tignanello or Masseto, plus some rare finds from Rinaldi, Solder or Burlotto .<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":166,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","atbdp_listing_types":[1041],"at_biz_dir-category":[1388],"at_biz_dir-location":[1102,1005],"at_biz_dir-tags":[],"coauthors":[538],"class_list":["post-43960","at_biz_dir","type-at_biz_dir","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","atbdp_listing_types-places","at_biz_dir-category-restaurants","at_biz_dir-location-marbella","at_biz_dir-location-spain"],"yoast_head":"\n
