· Restaurant, Majorcan restaurant, Mediterranean restaurant
· 4.4/5 Google (3320 reviews)
Reservations · Outdoor seating
Classic Majorcan grill with standout meats and paellas, lively vibe, generous portions, and occasional slow service and smoke; best when booked for terrace seating.
Why it gets a B+ for overall quality
Casa Jacinto delivers excellent grilled meats and traditional Mallorcan cooking with generous portions that justify its reputation among meat lovers, and the hillside terrace with sunset views creates genuine appeal. However, inconsistent execution—occasional over-salted fish and temperature issues— combined with slow service during peak hours and indoor smoke concerns prevent it from reaching higher standing. Best experienced on quieter nights or the terrace.
Restaurant Summary
Set on a hillside in Gènova, Casa Jacinto feels like a classic Mallorcan grill where the room buzzes on weekend nights and the terrace catches soft sunset light. Reviewers describe staff who can be friendly and efficient on quieter services, though peak times bring waits and some indoor smoke from the grills. The cooking leans traditional and ingredient-led: think hot-stone Black Angus you sear yourself, Segovia suckling pig, lamb shoulder, Arroz Brut, and Basque-style hake with a silky green sauce. Portions are solid, flavors are familiar and comforting, and the menu rewards meat lovers and paella fans more than thrill-seekers. Families will find it workable thanks to a real children menu (pasta, croquettes, simple meats). That said, the dining room can be loud on Sundays and indoor smoke or heat has been noted; the terrace is the safer bet for kids and sensitive diners.
