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

I don’t know what’s happened to this establishment, but it’s nowhere near the same as it was years ago. What breakfast cost me three years ago now costs almost double. Very competent waiters have left. I was always a loyal customer, but I’m no longer around. Luckily, they make most of their living off tourism. Otherwise, it would be a death foretold. For me, they’ve already lost a loyal customer who used to come all year round.

Stale ked navstivime Esteponu tak sa tu zastavime. Personal sa snazi aj ked maju plny podnik. Obsluha je rychla, ponuka sladkych poharov a palaciniek je skvela. Mozem len doporucit ak si chce niekto dat nieco sladke.

I went into the cafe and asked for an ice cream, but they said they were closed. A man with tattoos and a beard told me they could serve me the last ice cream, and I said, in Portuguese, “thank you.” The man didn’t understand me and asked me to repeat it. I repeated it again, but this time in Spanish, “thank you,” and he, in a rude and vulgar tone, kicked me out of the cafe, saying he wouldn’t serve me any more.

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. 🍨
