We really missed this vibrant, friendly restaurant, coping well with the Covid-19 safety measures while staff are professional and good food is still being served as it used to be.

My husband ordered his usual Lasagna dish and we got surprised when the asparagus lasagna option was mentioned to us, I will definitely give it a try next time). I ordered the seafood spaghetti and for our three years old daughter, the owner was so kind to make a simple but delicious tomato spaghetti like grandma used to cook when I was a child; such memories brought back!
Obviously, we didn't miss the chance to order the desserts as well 😉.

We will visit Rosmarino again soon!

Rosmarino is definitely a very good restaurant, were you can still find a proper nice homemade cuisine that makes real Italian food.

I visited the restaurant last night with my partner, she had Lasagna Bolognese ( nice Italian way ragù) and I had just a few starters as I was quite full. The Jamon ( Parma ham ) was tasty and not from a different brand at all.

Nice experience overall, I suggest this place to anyone visiting El Medano.

No where near as good as it used to be. We used to come here all the time before lockdown and we absolutely raced about it, recommended it to everyone but it has gone massively down hill. The lasagna was overcooked to complete mush, the tomato sauces on the pastas have lost any flavour or excitement and are now very tasteless. The pork was overcooked and supposed to be served in butter but was very dry and the cod was very slimy. Both main non pasta dishes were served with the same poor excuse for roast potatoes which were really just deep fried frozen blocks of potato alongside some very overcooked courgette. Even the bread has been replaced by a very cheap, disappointing alternative to the beautiful fresh Italian bread they used to serve. It would seem they have just lost their love and pasión for food and it is devastating to see.

We have always treasured advice and criticism when it turned out to be justified and spoken with cordiality. Not in this case. You immediately showed bitterness and arrogance. Just a few considerations: we do not use frozen products, much less potatoes that are boiled and then sautéed in a pan. Lasagna must be creamy, especially when the bechamel sauce contains fresh vegetables. As for pork tenderloin, this may have been in the oven a couple of minutes longer, and we take responsibility for this and will try to be more careful next time but anyway you should have told us and we could make it again, instead of eating all of it and then complain.
Finally, a note on bread: it happens that even the usual suppliers sometimes get it wrong to send the bread format we usually request. We are surprised, however, that despite having considered it to be in bad taste, you have eaten three baskets filling your bellies. On olives and mineral water you found nothing to laugh about. Maybe the core was too hard and the gas of the water too strong? Waiting to reciprocate the visit to your renowned Costa Adeje restaurant, a tip: enjoy life a little more and when you go to a restaurant, avoid writing the review while still sitting at the table. It is definitely in bad taste! And also avoid to write the same review two times consecutive with two different titles.
Best regards
The Chef/Owner

Few tables so book ahead.
Courgette risotto excellent main followed an inspired raw veg platter with humus & olive oil dips as starter . Apple crumble top dessert to finish.

Very happy to recommend
