← All restaurants in Playa De Las Americas
As of: July 2026 (updated regularly)
Six Italian eateries are holding their own in Playa de las Américas against British pubs and fast-food outlets, including the Garibaldi Restaurant, which has been serving guests since 1988. Anyone looking for the best Italian restaurants in Playa de las Américas will find that the Bianco Restaurant and the Restaurante Pasta y Vino offer cuisine that prioritises consistently high-quality pasta. This purpose-built holiday resort in the south-west of Tenerife has no historic old town, but it does boast a well-established international culinary scene. Italian cuisine is a firm favourite here because it remains easily accessible to visitors.
Eating Italian food between tourist hotspots and hidden gems
The Roma Restaurant and the other establishments usually open their terraces from 6 pm, though local guests rarely stay out until that time. In the evening, a plate of pasta or a pizza costs between 10 and 16 euros, whilst at lunchtime there are the occasional cheaper set menus. All the restaurants accept card payments. Along the Paseo Las Américas beach promenade and around Puerto Colón, the cuisine is prepared with greater care than in the busy areas of the shopping centres further inland. The Martini and the Vista Sur restaurants are closer to the coastline than to the shopping arcades further inland.
Tips for your visit
Italian cuisine is represented by 52 restaurants in Playa de las Américas, many of which are located in the pedestrianised areas near the beach promenade. In several establishments in the Arona district, the wood-fired pizza ovens are clearly visible behind the counters. Terraces along the coastline offer views of the Atlantic Ocean. Waiters often switch between Italian, German and English in the course of a single conversation.
In between the restaurants, 23 bars serve Aperol and limoncello at the bar. An espresso to round off the meal is a firm tradition at the Garibaldi Restaurant and in many other establishments. As this young holiday resort lacks a historic old town, the Italian establishments are clustered around the purpose-built shopping centres and arcades.
