Content creator’s glowing review

Content creator @elsiciliano_tenerife recently visited the establishment and wasted no time in recommending the experience to his followers. “The quality, the lighting, the atmosphere, and the service make you feel like you are in an authentic Italian restaurant from the moment you walk in,” he explains.

Award-winning credentials

The restaurant has already earned its stripes in the Canary Islands’ food scene. Last year it came second in the Classic Pizza Championship at GastroCanarias and also took first prize as the official pizza of the event. “After tasting it, I understand perfectly why,” the content creator said after sampling several of the menu’s most popular dishes.

A feast from start to finish

To whet his appetite, he began with the house starter: a burrata, Italian cured meats, fried pizza, artichokes, and a selection of cheeses. He described the combination as “incredible”. For his main course, he opted for the carbonara, a recipe that the restaurant allows customers to personalise. “They ask if you want it with egg or cream,” the content creator commented, adding that he went for the original version with egg.

The restaurant also offers a children’s menu for eight euros and is known for its warm, family-friendly service. To round off the meal, they tried the tiramisù and mascarpone cheesecake with Nutella, two of the most popular desserts on the menu. “They were delicious,” he assures.
