Casual waterfront Italian spot known for pizzas and gnocchi, friendly service, and fair prices, but with notable inconsistency and occasional service hiccups.
Right on the waterfront, El Pirata feels casual and lively, with views of the marina and Old Town twinkling across the water. Staff are often warm and upbeat, checking in with a smile, and one diner raved that the team made them feel "looked after without fuss." Expect a mix of locals and visitors drifting in before a night out. The cooking leans classic Italian comfort: thin‑crust pizzas and creamy gnocchi, seafood spaghetti when you want a taste of the sea, and desserts like tiramisú. When the kitchen is on, flavors land clean and satisfying; when slammed, a few diners found burgers dry or pasta overcooked, so order to the menu’s strengths. Families do well here thanks to kid-friendly staples like Margherita pizza, penne with tomato, and simple burgers. There is no explicit kids menu, but the options are naturally accessible; vegetarians also have several pastas and toasts. If you have picky eaters, steer toward familiar pizzas and away from the pricier seafood specials.
