La Piazzetta

"A hidden gem just off the beachfront up a flight of stairs, we went two days in a row for the last two days of our trip The mixed fried seafood is genuinely the freshest we had in los christianos and worth every penny , the pizza is delicious too Then the next day we had the seafood again, arancini balls and the seafood pasta Friendly staff Reasonable pricing most dishes we were able to split between two. Pasta ranges from 10-20e Pizza from 9e Drinks from 3e Dessert 6e Worth booking a table as they get busy busy Will 100% be returning next time in tenerife and have already recommended to family"

"Lovely spot with fresh offerings and amazing pizza and a excellent price! 80 cm pizza with choice of 3 options for only €30. The 4 cheese, bolognese and pepperoni are amazing!"

"Last week, on the 8th of June, my partner and I were looking for a local Italian restaurant to satisfy that craving for authentic Italian food. We stumbled upon La Piazzetta in Los Cristianos after finding several encouraging reviews from both locals and tourists. Upon arrival, we easily found a parking space and were warmly greeted by a member of staff who promptly showed us to our table. Our first impression was very positive. The restaurant wasn’t packed to the brim, but it wasn’t empty either, it felt lively without being overcrowded. I think we arrived at just the right time. After browsing the menu, I immediately decided on the Arancini for my starter. For my main course, after some careful consideration, I chose the Carbonara. The Arancini arrived first and was a generously sized portion for the price. It was wonderfully seasoned, with perfectly cooked risotto rice filled with little pieces of ham and peas. It was an excellent starter and set high expectations for the rest of the meal. Before long, the Carbonara was served. To say this was the best Carbonara I’ve ever tasted would be a serious understatement. The pasta was cooked perfectly al dente and complemented by a rich, creamy sauce that somehow remained surprisingly light. The guanciale was the standout ingredient, crispy yet juicy and packed with flavour. The dish was perfectly seasoned with salt and freshly cracked black pepper, while the Pecorino Romano added a sharp, savoury finish that tied everything together beautifully. By the end of the meal, our bill came to €55.64 for three large drinks, two starters, and two mains, which we felt was extremely reasonable for the quality and quantity of food we received. The following day, we found ourselves craving La Piazzetta again, so we decided to return. This time, I chose the Italian sausage and turnip tops on toasted bread. The sausage was perfectly seasoned, wonderfully juicy, and paired beautifully with the slightly bitter turnip tops. For my main course, I ordered the Carbonara again. I was impressed by the consistency, it was every bit as good as the day before and exactly what I had been craving. For dessert, I chose the Tiramisu, which was served in a generously sized mason jar. I loved every bite and was practically scraping the jar clean by the end. The coffee flavour was strong and bold but perfectly balanced by the creamy mascarpone. It’s very unlike me to revisit the same restaurant while on holiday, but La Piazzetta was a rare exception. The staff were attentive, welcoming, and more than happy to recommend some of their most popular dishes. They took excellent care of us throughout both visits. I would highly recommend La Piazzetta to anyone looking for a classic Italian dining experience in Tenerife. I genuinely have nothing negative to say. 10/10, we’ll definitely be back."

"La Piazzetta in Los Cristianos is a lovely spot for pizza and pasta. The staff were very friendly and welcoming, and the service was quick without feeling rushed. We chose to sit inside as it was a little warm outside, and it was comfortable. The food arrived promptly and was excellent quality – fresh, tasty, and well-prepared. A great place for a relaxed meal in town."

"The pizza and pasta were good, although the pizza was a little burnt. The service was very friendly."

"Excellent seafood , pizza and pasta. The staff was very helpfull and nice. We were here last year on our last day, food was so impressive, that we returned this year twice. It is not your usual touristic restaurant. Great job!"

"AMAZING italian food, reminded me of why I love Italy so much and that I should book a trip soon. All waiters italian so that just added to the vibe and authenticity of the place. We have stuffed ourselves to the point of exploding and did not regret it for one second. All worth it - starters, mains and dessert. Great sangria too, though not italian. Great prices, exceptional service, and best quality food. 100% authentic. We’ve reserved to come back for our 10 year anniversary so I guess that says it all. LOVE. Thank you, grazie mille!"

"Very good pizza, dough was light and soft. They have a very large pizza selection and a lot of varieties which I haven't seen elsewhere. Carbonara was tasty and Al dente. Our waiter was lovely too. We went back for lunch a couple of days later, was just as good."
