Not really hidden, but absolutely a gem on the coast of Costa Brava. I’m always skeptical of restaurants right on the coast, as they typically cater to tourists with high prices and mediocre food. But Pizzeria Da Giovanni has everything — a beautiful view of the ocean, fresh seafood, excellent service, and welcoming staff. The dining room also has a direct view of the kitchen and there’s a large window where you can see the chefs at work. We ordered the lobster paella, the lamb, the margarita pizza, and several drinks. Everything was top-notch. You will not regret coming here. Highly highly highly recommend!

We stopped for lunch on our way back from the Pyrenees and were pleasantly surprised! We had the menu of the day for 13 euros and it was plenty of food and delicious! Seems like the locals lunch spot. Would come again if passing by!

Lloc molt agradable per dinar/sopar cuina casolana, ambientat en la Itàlia cinematogràfica. M'he quedat amb les ganes de tastar les pizzes, què només les fan en divendres nit i caps de setmana. Així que ja tinc una fantàstica excusa per tornar-hi i saludar a Giovanni i família. ------- Ja vam tornar i vam tastar les pizzes. Molt bones i ben farcides! No les fan primes (tampoc gruixudes), especialment la vora. Jo vaig tastar la Giovanni i vaig quedar molt satisfet! Ah! i les braves també estan molt bones!

Perfect place to eat a wonderful regional dish if you are traveling through Lleida, or if you happen to be in the area. Top notch pizzas at night time, with a real wood fired pizza oven!
