Morelli's takes an envious position on the frontline of the Puerto Banús port, making it an atmospheric location to dine in. Stylish yet unpretentious, the décor is modish with lavish use of glass and mirrors and pretty hanging lamps that highlight the red and white colour scheme at Morelli's.

The restaurant is run by young Silvano Morelli, an Irish Italian whose family has a long history in the hospitality sector. Built around impeccably sourced ingredients, the food is authentic Italian with subtle hints from the Irish cuisine thrown in as well. Start with fresh clams in white wine, garlic and chilli or try the baked layers of aubergine and mozzarella cheese. Amongst larger dishes, spaghetti with mixed seafood vies with fresh meat ravioli with tomato and cheese for attention.

At Morelli's, classic desserts such as tiramisu, chocolate brownies and gelatos are to hand.
