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).

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

Fantastic food and wine, lovely staff. A real gem of a find. Had two meals here during our week in Palma including paella for 4 on our second visit, which was superb.

Excellent food came across the restaurant after a walk in the old town. Fabulous will definately return. Had the spaghetti with seafood as my husband does not like paella. 😐
