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

Perfect for a cappuccino in the picturesque old town of Estepona… the ice cream looked really good too – we’ll try it next time 😉… 3 days later, we finally tried the ice cream –> delicious! 😋

For ett utvalg av desserter. Har du lyst på noe søtt må du stoppe her. Fantastik godt sammensatte desserter. Iskremen var helt nydelig.

Siempre que venimos a Estepona, vamos a esta heladería, como siempre todo muy bien, las copas de helados han subido un poco de precio pero siguen siendo de las mejores.

Recepción muy desagradable, camarera arrogante, evitar.
Fuimos 20 metros más allá, a la Plaza de las Flores, todo genial.

Accueil très désagréable serveuse hautaine à fuir
nous sommes allés 20 mètres plus loin à la plaza de la Flores tout est top

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. 🍨
