Bodeguita del Italiano in Puerto de Tazacorte on La Palma has been one of the well-known culinary spots right by the beach for many years. The restaurant has long been run by the same Italian owners, which is usually a very good sign of continuity, as the quality of the kitchen, the service and the overall experience have remained consistently high for many years. Because of this, Bodeguita has become a popular meeting point for both visitors and locals who want to enjoy good food in Tazacorte right by the sea.

The location is one of its greatest strengths. Only a few steps separate the restaurant from the beach of Puerto de Tazacorte and the Atlantic Ocean, so guests are practically dining right next to the sea. On the spacious terrace with plenty of sun umbrellas, visitors can sit comfortably and enjoy the relaxed atmosphere of this small coastal town. Especially on warm evenings on La Palma, it is a wonderful place to end the day with a good meal or a glass of wine. During the day it is also a perfect stop after swimming in the ocean or after a walk along the promenade of the harbour.

The kitchen focuses mainly on pizza and pasta, which form the heart of the restaurant. In addition to classic Italian pizzas such as Capricciosa or Quattro Stagioni, the menu also offers some more creative variations that are not found everywhere. A well-known example is the Pizza Bodeguita with avocado and prawns or the Pizza Lanzarote with dates, prawns and bacon. One of the most recommended dishes is the Pizza Deliziosa with mozzarella, jamón serrano, rocket and freshly shaved parmesan, appreciated for its fresh ingredients and balanced flavours.

The menu is complemented by a selection of salads and tapas, including garlic prawns or typical La Palma cheese served with fig jam. Classic Italian dishes such as spaghetti or lasagne are also part of the menu. Depending on availability, the restaurant also offers fresh fish and meat dishes, ensuring that guests who are not in the mood for pizza will also find something suitable.

Even when the restaurant is busy, the service remains efficient and attentive. Drinks are usually brought to the table quickly, even during peak hours, something that guests particularly appreciate on warm days by the sea.

All in all, Bodeguita del Italiano is one of the most popular restaurants in Puerto de Tazacorte if you are looking for pizza, pasta or a relaxed meal right by the ocean.
