Bambola di Grosso Napoletano
In the Los Felices hotel, in Cala de Bou, we discovered a gem for coeliacs — and everyone else: Bambola di Grosso Napoletano. Created by GROSSO — the Best Handcrafted Gluten-free Pizza according to 50 Top Pizza — and Concept Hotel Group, this has become a flagship establishment serving gluten-free pizza that combines perfect craftsmanship and sophistication, something few achieve in such a natural way.
Los Felices, in common with every other Concept Hotel Group creation, is a groundbreaking universe, with a mid-century aesthetic inspired by the Californian Palm Springs desert and a clear concept: fashion. With this declaration of intent — and the blast of colour that greets you as you step into the hotel, which is more like a film set than a hotel — the restaurant needs to live up to expectations. And what could be more timeless than a good handcrafted pizza?
The concept of Bambola offers a sophisticated balance between serving one of the finest gluten-free Neapolitan pizzas and accompanying it with a solid cocktail menu, an apt combination for everyone. Whether you’re there with friends, as a couple or as a family, Bambola is a foolproof option for summer evenings.
Open only for evening meals, Bambola welcomes local residents as well as hotel guests, and is also available for room service. Every Wednesday it offers a fun bingo session, which this year is hosted by Arturo Laso, a multi-talented artist who is there to make summer evenings rock.
The symbiosis between Grosso Napoletano and the Concept Hotel Group springs from a clear gap on the island: the lack of properly certified, handcrafted, gluten-free pizza. This is a particularly urgent need for Diego Calvo, the group’s CEO, whose daughter is coeliac: “It’s really difficult to find places that are free of cross-contamination. For us it was non negotiable to create a space that had character and was 100% safe”.
Bambola also boasts exclusive, customised tableware designed by the multidisciplinary artist Miranda Makaroff, one of the elements that makes Los Felices’ fashion-art-gastronomy tie-in more tangible.
This is an establishment where the design, the cuisine and the entertainment find their exact point of equilibrium while you enjoy one of the most delicious gluten-free pizzas on the island.
