Editors Comment

I’ve been visiting La Italiana for over 15 years and it’s still one of my favorite places. It’s probably best know and most popular for it’s Ice Cream. You’ll find a great selection of Ice Cream sundaes that you won’t find anywhere else in Estepona.

La Italiana is great value. You can pick up a breakfast of toast, fresh orange juice, and a hot drink for less than €5!

Unmissable. A staple part of any visit to Estepona!

What we like

  • Great Icecream selection
  • Good coffee
  • Fantastic value for money
  • Situated in a gorgeous square

What we don’t like

  • Limited lunch menu
  • Can be very busy

The quality is still very good. Prices have gone up a bit, like everywhere else, but the crepes are still fantastic, and there’s nowhere else in town that makes them like this. It’s always packed, and the location is a big plus. The service is perhaps a little less organized than before, but overall, we keep coming back because we like it.

Unfortunately, it has gone from being a landmark and meeting place in Estepona for its quality and service, where you had to wait for a table, to one of the worst since the previous employees left and others arrived who serve whenever they feel like it and walk right past you, making you feel invisible because they see the empty table and don’t ask if you’ve ordered, at most saying they’ll be right back. Yesterday, Sunday, with only 2 or 3 tables occupied outside, we waited 18 minutes to be served, even though a waitress who was always muttering under her breath and a young waiter who seemed angry at the world were wandering around aimlessly, until a young man who seemed to be the manager came and when we expressed our complaint, he looked at us silently and gave us a blank expression and nothing more.

What a shame! That’s all I can say. It used to be a benchmark, but now the service is nonexistent. Seven people working there, not a single smile for the customers; they’re completely lost.

An experience I won’t be returning to. I hope things change.

Lovely place for a rest and coffe, ice cream and cakes

The Food

La Italiana is best known for sweet things, although you will find a selection of rolls and toasted sandwiches.

Great value and generally served quickly.

If you enjoy Ice cream it’s highly recommended.

  • Good value for money
  • Ice Cream Sundae Menu
  • Cake selection
  • Good coffee (well I think so)

La Italiana isn’t the place to for dinner but for a sweet treat or a light snack, it’s perfect!

The Location

This Café is in a beautiful square in the center of estepona complete with a fountain.

There a lots of tables outside but it’s often busy, especially in the summer. You can’t reserve so patience if required.

  • Quaint square in Old Town
  • Lots of space both inside and out
  • Very easy to find

They are open from 9am in the morning for breakfast and in the summer go through to 1am in the morning for late night ice cream. ?
