We noticed this place as we walked past one night and decided to try it. We sat in the street and ordered the Paella with seafood only It took 30 mins to come as stated . We had a nice bottle of Mallorcan Rose whilst waiting . Really worth the wait . Excellent Paella, full of seafood and a very good portion for each person . 32 Euros for the Paella for 2 . Very good value. Will come again.

This really is a lovely little restaurant and unfortunately only found on our last day of our short break in Palma. We stopped for a light lunch and ordered the croquettes which were delicious, the best we've ever eaten, home made by the owners wife, we also ordered the bruchette which was also very good and large portions to share, washed down with a lovely glass of white wine. Very relaxed atmosphere and a friendly welcome.

Tucked away on a serene corner, this modest Spanish haven is a delightful find. Simplicity is its strength, with an ambiance that whispers rather than shouts. The menu is humble in price but bold in flavor. Their pasta dishes, al dente perfection, are complemented beautifully by a selection of tapas that encapsulate the essence of Spanish cuisine. Every bite is a testament to quality and tradition. Unpretentious, affordable, and undeniably delicious, this eatery is a testament to the fact that great culinary experiences don’t always come with a hefty price tag. An absolute must-visit for authentic fare

My Sister & I have been going to Bossa Nova for the past 4 years when we visit Palma. The restaurant is tucked away up a side alley but definitely worth seeking out. Food is amazing, full of flavour and reasonably priced, atmosphere is lovely and staff very friendly. You won’t be disappointed. On this visit we both ate bruschetta to start, I had spinach and ricotta ravioli which just melted in my mouth with a side salad big enough for 4 and my sister had the seafood spaghetti which was just full of sea food. We washed this down with a large glass of Sangria which was just amazing. Bossa Nova for us is one of our favourite restaurants we must visit during our annual trip. If you are looking for a restaurant then look no further. We have never been disappointment.

We had two delicious dinners at Bossa Nova while staying in Palma for 6 nights. Both times we had the fish and croquettes. The owner and his staff were very friendly and helpful and it was a pleasure to eat here and I would highly recommend the restaurant. We were staying in an apartment opposite the restaurant and had not realised how good the food was.

We came here 2 times in a week during our holiday in Palma. It was definitely the best paella we ever ate! Delicious!
Watch out their opening hours... in the evening it’s opened from 6:30 PM until 9:30-10 PM

I give 1 star only thanks to the speed of the service that allowed us to leave as quickly as possible.
The service leaves to desired from the beginning until the end of the meal. The waiters are unpleasant and unseemly, not bothering to repeat their questions when we do not understand.
We took clam pasta and spinach ravioli ricotta.
As for the clam pasta, it was pretty poor, just good.
The ravioli were simply bad. They are barely cooked industrial ravioli, with mint as an accompaniment, a combo that does not go together.

4.7?! On Google ?? 4.5 on TA Yowzer, I didn’t want to do this but, this was easily one of the worst paellas I’ve had in my life, regardless of country and place.
1. The cook on the rice was inconsistent. Some grains weren’t cooked and hard, others just mush.
2. The seafoood paella had one flavor profile just straight ocean. No fragrance. It was like I was eating sand with my seafood.
3. The Sofrito was just tomato sauce? There was no flavor…it didn’t exist.
4. The socarratt was non existent, given how under cooked the rice was this is no surprise.
5. Frozen vegetables in the paella?! Like why, why add more fluid to an already wet sloppy paella.
6. Raw cut lemons on top? Pass me the corona why don’t you ?
Separate of the food, the server spilled a coffee/ cappuccino when cleaning a table which I get happens. But the coffee splashed on my leg clothing, as well as my partner white dress. 0 acknowledgement from the owner (that’s basic service 101).
Anyways here to save some people some cash and disappointment with the paella

We had lunch in 3 we took spaghetti with clams and gnocchi Bolognese, as Italians we evaluated that the dishes are delicious and plentiful. For main course nice big plate of Milanese cutlet with chips. I recommend it. Very good prices, and very nice owner.

We just chanced upon Bossa Nova and were pleasantly surprised with the food. We had tapas with wine. Calamari, jamon, cheese were all good. Kids had spaghetti bolognese which they enjoyed (it doesn’t have a lot of tomato sauce but that’s what they like).

Yet another beautiful meal. We have often eaten at this little gem of a restaurant. The seafood spaghetti’s is the best in Palma.
Yes I know that’s a big statement but we have dined in the city for a lifetime and the seafood pasta her is exceptional and never fails to live up to memory. Thank you Andrea and team

5 stars are absolutely justified here. Fresh ingredients and very, very tasty food.
Very personable boss and exceptionally friendly and warm service. It's a pleasure to be here and it's amazing to find so much quality and professionalism in a rather touristy part of Palma!! Thank you for the wonderful hours we've spent with you so far and keep it up!!! We'll definitely be happy to come back again.

3rd time here during 4 years for a lunch between shopping in Palma. Their pasta dishes are just fantastic. The spaghetti marinara is so delicious 😋
Great wines and friendly service. Expect some quiet jazz as background music 👍🏻

We had a super meal here. It was well cooked, fresh and authentic.
The service was excellent ( lovely smiley waitress ) and the owner was really helpful.
Tucked up a little passage in a very central area it may be easy to miss.
Fish croquettes were delicious ; light and tasty.
