Strengths
Attentive and professional service that makes diners feel comfortable and welcome from the moment they arrive.
Attention to detail in the preparation of the dishes and the presentation of the tables.
Fresh, high-quality ingredients with original topping combinations.
A well-made and consistent dough, providing a solid base for creative fillings.
Areas to improve
The dough could benefit from increased hydration to achieve a lighter, more melt-in-your-mouth texture.
The flavors of the toppings, especially the garlic zucchini cream and the zucchini alla scapece, are intense and can overpower the prosciutto crudo; a more delicate balance would improve the overall harmony.
Professional criticism
El Horno del Chef, located in Caleta de Fuste, Fuerteventura, offers a semi-contemporary pizza concept that combines creativity and attention to detail, although there’s still room for technical improvement. The dough, while well-worked, is somewhat tough and could benefit from a higher hydration level to achieve a lighter, more melt-in-your-mouth texture, characteristic of the best pizzas.
The toppings are creative, using zucchini cream with garlic and zucchini alla scapece with lemon, along with San Daniele prosciutto crudo. However, the intense flavors of the vegetables tend to overpower the prosciutto, slightly affecting the overall harmony of the dish.
The service stands out for its professionalism and friendliness: diners are greeted warmly, and the tables are presented with care, creating a pleasant and comfortable experience. The restaurant is welcoming and well-managed, enhancing the overall dining experience.
Overall, El Horno del Chef offers a solid and appreciable experience, with an interesting product and outstanding service, but still with opportunities to reach a higher level of excellence.
