We visited here looking for a scrumptious evening meal and we were not disappointed! It is clear why there are so many 5 star reviews, this restaurant is something else! From the moment we arrived, we were greeted warmly with lovely smiles by two lovely people: they poured our drinks for us, cracked jokes with us and looked after us very well. The pizza is the best! I highly recommended that you go to this restaurant for pizza - nowhere else! The bruschetta was also very delicious as was the tiramisu. Everything was freshly prepared and cooked with care, nothing was frozen and that was clearly evident. It is clean and very safe not to mention you are not bombarded in unlike the other restaurants by people stood outside. As we left and paid a very good bill (very reasonable) they kindly offered us 10% off our bill the next time we dined - we for sure will definitely be back!
Thank you for a lovely night with absolutely exceptional food and service! I shout at you that you MUST visit this restaurant, you will not regret it!

We popped in for lunch having read the 5 star reviews on Google and were not disappointed. A newly opened family run restaurant, we were warmly welcomed and talked through the menu and how everything is homemade and fresh. That was evident when we ordered! The food was superb!
I had ravioli which was gorgeous and very filling, my girlfriend had the burger. It was clearly homemade and came on ciabatta style roll. We’ve been coming to Puerto Rico for 7 years, two or three times a year and Laura said it’s easily the best burger she’s had on the island - and she’s fond of a burger!
We booked that same day to come back for dinner at the weekend.
We started with a sharing platter of meat, cheese and roasted vegetables, served with warm bread. There was a varied, quality selection, and the plate was cleared. The ravioli was so good the first time I had it again. Laura had lasagna and said it was better than her mums - which is high praise 😄
The meal was washed down with a lovely white wine and we finished with a brownie and a coffee. We highly recommend visiting and trying for yourself. In fact, we’re gutted we go home tomorrow and can’t go back until we return.
We’ll see you in June! 🇮🇹

This intimate, family owned and run restaurant is the very best you'll find in Puerto Rico. It represents the very best of Italian ... All about enjoying superb food with friends and family. A very warm welcome, a thoroughly fabulous, authentic menu with beautiful, tasty, fresh ingredients. The family cares and it shows in every detail.
This food would be much more pricey in the UK!

My congratulations to our Italian friends, they have left the place very nice and cozy. They have unbeatable views of the beach, you can walk from the beach or be right there on the sand.
They have the great advantage of also being able to order it to go and eat it on the beach. It is always recommended to eat there as it is very comfortable and the atmosphere is relaxed.
They have a good menu and very good food, all Italian. We tried one of their pizzas and drank some wines. It was all very good. They also have Italian coffee and it is very good, and the price is the same as all the cafes.
I have to say that the prices on the menu are quite higher than normal but you are paying for the views, the tourist area and everything around it. It is the only thing that could be improved in some dishes on their menu.
Otherwise, they are professional, close and humble. Congratulations on the place and its atmosphere.

Very good Italian restaurant, the staff was very kind and we even had a few laughs. The products are of excellent quality and you can feel it!! We spent €52 in total and had two classic bruschettas, seafood linguine, spaghetti with pistachio and dried tomatoes, a water and a beer, a fair price for the quality of the food. We had a great experience!!
Small detail for those who smoke: although it is outdoors, smoking is prohibited, but just take a few steps to go to the beach and you can easily smoke a cigarette without problems. Highly recommended!

I highly recommend it.

I had the pleasure of having lunch at L'Alternativa Italian Restaurant in Playa de Amadores and can't say enough about this exceptional dining experience. From the moment I walked in the door, I was greeted with warmth and professionalism by the attentive and courteous staff.
We opted for the Italian bruschetta, the tuna tartare and the classic burger, and each course was a riot of flavors that delighted our palate. In particular, the bruschetta was fresh and tasty, the tuna tartare was delicate and perfectly seasoned, while the classic burger was succulent and tasty.
I can only highly recommend this Italian restaurant to anyone looking for authentic Italian cuisine in a lovely setting. It has definitely become one of my favorite places to have lunch when I'm in Playa de Amadores. I can't wait to return to savor these culinary delights again.

We decided to have lunch in one of the restaurants on the beach of Amadores me and my partner and... after various searches we stopped in this beautiful place, nice and unique Italian owners 😍 We then had lunch with delicious dishes, the bread made by them very good, fresh fish, cherry tomatoes on fresh bruschetta😋 In the afternoon we had an aperitif with very good spritz (Italian style with chips and appetizers) and since we felt so good we decided to dine there with a pizza, really good with dough made by them. Definitely would recommend it to everyone and if I return to Gran Canaria I would stay there again. Thank you very much ❤️

We had read some great reviews about this little restaurant. Unfortunately it was only open one evening per week during our stay however we made the decision to go there for lunch on our final day. The menu was amazing, no frozen ingredients, everything fresh and the attention to detail was sublime. Our food was delicious! The staff were friendly, attentive and interested in us enjoying our time eating in their beautiful, clean and tasteful restaurant. What a great end to an amazing holiday. Would definitely recommend.

We had lunch several times in this small restaurant on the beach of Amadores. The Italian cuisine tried was great but it is above all the friendliness and kindness of the 2 owners, a couple from Venice, and their cook son to have impressed us and led us to return several times. Congratulations really, we recommend it to everyone!

We only sat down to drink a good Italian coffee, and we asked if it was possible since we occupied a table just for coffee. The problem is that it arrived after 20 minutes of waiting and what's more, it was cold. I drank it in a Spanish bar and the cup was hot too! Then whoever took our orders asked us if we wanted water, we said yes because we thought it accompanied the coffee, then we realized that even if we didn't ask for it, we had to pay for it. Well €2.50 for some water at room temperature (it was 25 degrees outside) and 2 cold coffees, another €2.40, a total of €5.30 for a coffee!

This place on the beach really has everything your heart desires. The food is of the highest quality, every dish is a real treat for the senses. The chef knows how to combine flavors in a way that triggers a real explosion of flavors. Very friendly and accommodating service. The cocktails were also very tasty!
The small ambience right on the beach gives the whole thing a magical touch. The sound of the waves, the gentle breeze and the breathtaking view of the sea create a unique atmosphere. Whether romantic as a couple or in a happy group with family, this place is the epitome of relaxation and enjoyment.

This Italian must be the best restaurant of the many on Amadores Playa. Everything is cooked fresh and is of high quality. We loved both the Mozarella and Tomato salad and the sea bass fillet. The prices may be a little higher than one or two others nearby but if you want to eat well, this is the place. They deserve to flourish.

We stayed in Amadores for 7 days and only found this place on the third day. In the following 4 days we are here 4 times. The staff are so friendly and patient. You can really feel the enthusiasm they have for the food. As for the food itself, it is so fresh, tasty and high quality. The owner (I presume) was very proud of his food and explained how it is made and what is in it. Truly a joy to eat here and I will be back for sure on my next visit.
