The restaurant offers a pleasingly wide range of gluten-free options, which, according to the staff, are also suitable for people with celiac disease – a clear plus for those affected and one of the few positive experiences of the evening.
Apart from that, the visit was unfortunately disappointing. The premium entrecôte we ordered was of inferior quality: served already in strips, the meat consisted mostly of cartilage and tendons. The desired degree of doneness was clearly missed on the first attempt, and even after re-cooking, the meat was completely cooked and dry. Although our complaint was acknowledged by the staff, we were more or less ignored thereafter – no apology, no follow-up questions, no concessions whatsoever. Overall, the staff seemed very stressed and overwhelmed during the summer season anyway.
The fish dish was no real compensation either – although it was properly cooked, it was completely tasteless. The vegetables served with both main courses were cold and seemed unpleasantly placed on the plate.
The sangria bianco turned out to be a weak mix, reminiscent of dry rosé wine with mineral water – at an inflated price.
Overall, a disappointing experience: The price paid was not met with any quality or service. Only the gluten-free options stood out positively – the rest, unfortunately, left much to be desired.
Probably the best gluten-free pizza on the island and any I have ever eaten in my life. Delicious. Close family care. Very small place and terrace on the most beautiful street in Icod.
This restaurant is a revelation! Everything was perfect, the food, the ambience and the service. I was a bit skeptical, I'm not that familiar with vegan. But what the boys conjure up from the small kitchen is incredible. My wife can't eat gluten because of celiac disease, so the choice is usually very limited. Everything in this restaurant was gluten-free except for the tiramisu. I can fully recommend this restaurant, whether for vegans or just because.
Great food! Vegetrain and gluten free options! Better make a reservation, was full in the evening. Only downside is that they have only Pepsi, no Coca-cola 😕
Very tasty pizzas and very friendly service.
The only negative was that they charged us extra (without our knowledge) for a gluten-free pizza, and it was smaller than the gluten-free ones... They do that size thing in a lot of places, and I don't understand the reason.
But overall, we're happy with the place. Thank you.
We went without a reservation for dinner on a Sunday and it turned out to be a pleasant surprise! They have gluten-free pasta and everything we ordered was delicious.
The food was very good, we ordered a homemade pizza, which I recommend 100%, it was delicious, my partner ordered a gluten-free pasta with four cheese sauce, and everything was also very good, the desserts were another success, the tres leches cake and the chocolate mousse, but the owner's detail was the best he could do, he went to the supermarket to buy almond milk so we could have coffee, I have never seen that before, I am left with the excellent staff treatment , the food and above all very good price.
The best Italian restaurant in the Canary Islands!
After visiting all the islands, I can finally say that I have found a true corner of Italy. Here you can breathe authenticity in every dish: the fresh pasta is homemade, cooked to perfection and seasoned according to traditional recipes that taste like home. The pizza, cooked in a wood oven, is simply extraordinary: light dough, quality ingredients and balanced flavors. It fills you up without weighing you down, it is very light and super digestible.
They use very fresh vegetables from their garden, which make every dish even more genuine and tasty.
In addition, the staff is very attentive to food intolerances and also offers excellent gluten-free options, such as pizza.
The service is friendly, the atmosphere warm and welcoming: everything contributes to a truly unique culinary experience.
If you are here in La Palma and want to taste real Italian cuisine, this is the right place. Highly recommended!
P.S.: The pizza with rocket only is my wife's choice, it's not on the menu... but they prepared it for her anyway with great kindness!
I’ve visited Montauk Steakhouse on a few occasions, in my opinion I would give this restaurant a 4* as it could be better… more options on the dessert menu and a gluten free menu. I had one bad experience where the brioche beef burger was not up to standards.. apart from that It has been fantastic! The veg risotto was phenomenal , I returned the next day and had to order it again!
