Totem - Arona

The worst experience on our whole holiday. The service was awful, we waited an hour for one starter to come out which was burnt garlic bread and then had to wait even longer for the mains. The seafood pasta was disgusting, plain tomato sauce with no flavour and a few prawns was all they gave you I couldn’t bring myself to eat the prawns and they made my friend ill. Service was rude and slow and there were only four other tables in the restaurant. If it was England we would not have paid.

We went along as a family of 5. 5 amazing pizzas, a few drinks, 3 pudding and €75! Amazing value and lovely thin fresh pizza. Decided to go again a couple of nights later. Just needed to eat after a long day and this place was an easy option. You name it, they messed it up. Out of 5 orders two got what they ordered. 2 pizzas had clearly come from the shop next door and they weren’t what we ordered anyway. Despite asking twice we were still one knife short so had to share. Out of the two lasagnes ordered only one ever arrived and that was as dry as the Sahara. Fortunately we found hilarity in the whole situation, Went to the little supermarket next door, grabbed baguettes cheese and sorted ourselves out.

So, sat outside waiting for service, 10 minutes later we were still waiting for service, Mrs Fagashian lit up on the next table,so off we went to Pizzeria Luna down the road for a good meal. Shame, as last time we had good Pizzas here, not this time. Come on wake up.

Absolutely horrific from start to finish. Sat down and was ignored by all members of staff. After ordering 3 main meals and 1 side of garlic bread, we waited for over an hour for all of our food to arrive. Seafood pasta was just tomato pasta with a few prawns. Only ate it because I was absolutely starving. After reluctantly paying the bill we left as soon as possible. Food has not sat well in my stomach. Definitely do not eat here unless you want one of your holiday meals to be a waste.

Place is beautifully decorated but that’s all I could say to be honest. My husband and I took my 82 year old mum here for late afternoon meal. My mum and husband ordered the mixed salad and what a disgrace. It was a plate of lettuce with a few tomatoes, olives and we think some some sort of seafood, it was disgusting and inedible. I ordered the pasta bolognaise which tasted of fish and the meat was pink. A total waste of money for poor food
