Reviewed By Jennifer O

Friendly Italian staff, offering a free welcome aperitif. A relaxed pleasant environment (sat outside in covered terrace). The pizzas are very decent but the second time we went, they were ready very quickly and in fact a tad undercooked. Taste and ingredients used are good quality though. Family friendly restaurant as well.

Bocasalina

Reviewed By meriann

Probably one of the top spots in Formentera. I was a bit unsure of the place. But I have to say that it is worth the pretty expensive bill. All of the ingredients are top quality and super fresh. The tagliolini with shrimp tartare and lime are spectacular. Fish is super fresh. The selection of hamon is pretty impressive. Home made gelato is something to die for. The waitress was extremely kind and careful. And not bad the surprise you get and the end of the dinner with a “mountain” of cotton candy. Take into account that the above is not for free and be prepared to spend a good amount of money (which is not so much if compared to US restaurants). Overall I would recommend it.

Caterina Formentera

Reviewed By annaspurek

the best one- first of all owners that tell U story of restaurant, reccomend dishes, explain everything.They are center and heart of this place. Second food- new interpretations of well known Italian dishes like gnudi, tiramisu, panzanella. Good house wine and very nice idea of menu -we took vegetarian menu- starter, first and second plus dessert x 35 euros-person. Caterina is place that is worth to see also for place: furniture,design etc.

La Kasa dei Kolori

Reviewed By DQuark21

We have had a quick lunch in this colourful terrace: salad was good and the piadina just ok ,both overpriced like everything on the island. Beside they also have a clothes shop with hand painted t-shirts. A girl was making them but in my opinion a kid could make them much better. Don't know who is going to buy those unwatchable things .

We had a lovely dinner filled with fresh seafood, all for a reasonable price! Highly recommend! Really enjoyed the complimentary digestifs after dinner. Really appreciated the service too, and the fact they didn’t rush us out despite being packed.

Casadela - Cantina y Pescado

Reviewed By juliana_cho

We ended up coming back for a second dinner at Casadela. Best dinner in the island. Absolutely fresh ingredients. Lovely “buena onda” atmosphere. All the dishes were impeccable. Mulles as starters, calamaris as main and a couple of glasses of cava make the perfect dinner. Staff was absolutely nice and friendly ❤️

El Gioviale Cafe & Restaurant

Reviewed By O5913IYchriss

It’s simple and run by Italians like much of this island. The restaurant has a simple menu. A limited number of starters mains and deserts. The mains are based around different pastas and sauces. This is not fine dining this is wholesome food. I agree with the owner that ‘simple is difficult’ get it wrong and it’s bland and tasteless but get it right and it works.Many of the tables were occupied by Italians. They seemed to be having a pretty good time too. Italians are fierce critics of Italian food.The seated area is an covered outdoor place for casual dining - ideal for the warm summer Formentera evenings.They have selected Spanish wines that work with Italian food. Try wine by the glass or by the bottle. Enjoy the conversation with the waiters and wave to the owners girlfriend who puts the food together in the cucina.

This is a must for anyone visiting Formentera, I guarantee that you will go back many times, What a location... we have accessed by foot and have also come in on a Yacht, where they transfer you from the boat to the Restaurant and return you once you are finished..... day or evening so well worth a visit
