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

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.

I went yesterday, and I’m not even from Estepona. I go there to visit my boyfriend’s family, but honestly, the customer service from the waiters leaves a lot to be desired. The waffles and crepes are good, though. The place is always packed, but if I had known how I would be treated beforehand, I wouldn’t have gone. I’d like the owner to read this and address the issue because I also own a business, and having a good team is essential!

Half an hour to sit down and half an hour to clean the table, disgraceful!

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. ?
