Really good, understated Italian restaurant in Puerto del Carmen on the main Avenida, almost…read moreopposite the Casino. Friendly, efficient service excellent food and prices to match. We were amazed at the quality even for a good steak which two of our party enjoyed - all cooked to perfection as ordered. Much better in every way that other, more upmarket and expensive Italian restaurants nearby.

Solid pizzeria. We were sick of eating grilled fish and octopus so came to this little pizzeria…read more Pro - hand made pizza made with care. Take 15 minutes. Crispy and light. Super good value. Con - can be hot in hot summer day with heated oven. Ask for a menu in English if you speak limited Spanish. Out of the two pizzas, vesuvio (ham) and extra (Serrano ham and mushroom), Extra was the winner. The ham in vesuvio was a bit too salty. Fantastic value. 2 pizzas and 2 sparkling waters for 16.50 euros.

Pure authentic Italian restaurant with delicious fresh and subtle flavours. All dishes are cooked…read morefrom scratch and the taste certainly proves it - however, as a result you will have to wait a little longer. Staff are really nice, friendly and attentive as well as helpful - eg they have no problem varying the dishes on the menu to your liking, such as chicken instead of beef etc. Mama Carolinas is not very easy to find...it is located on the main Avenida just before the Casino, but across the road and it is at the upstairs level, with steps going up from the Main Street. This restaurant is well up there if not better than the many other Italian restaurants in the vicinity.

I'm surprised this place has no Yelp reviews yet - I happened to pass by it many times and read…read moreinto it on Tripadvisor. I felt like this was the closest to Spanish island authenticity you could get. While the touristy "English" options likely, and probably suck, their highlights are their tapas wheels. They have meat tapas wheels, fish tapas wheels, meat + fish tapas wheels, potato + sauce tapas wheels, and a vegetarian tapas wheel. So many options! I think the winner, and the one that I selected on my first night, was the mixed choose-your-own-tapas wheel. For a little under €12, you can choose 5 tapas dishes from a list, or pick 4 tapas + garlic prawns. I opted for the latter. It comes out on a literal wheel (ie. Lazy Susan) with segments for each dish. I still get confused on the difference between shrimp and prawns. I thought prawns were bigger, but these shrimp were typical sized. This was delicious, the garlic oil they were swimming in was so wonderfully garlicky. I, being a fool, tried this first and promptly burnt the tip of my tongue. For the 4 others, I chose: Canarian potatoes, chorizo, fried Lanzarote cheese with fig jam, and the chicken paella. The Canarian potatoes are essentially plain, baked baby potatoes that are accompanied by 2 killer sauces, 1 green and the other red. These are called mojo, and I strongly favored the green one which is apparently made with avocado (or so my Spanish understood...). The chorizo was pretty good, but not overly spicy and swimming in grease. The fried cheese was stellar with fig jam, but make sure you eat while hot otherwise it cools down and gets all congealy-cheese-like. Paella was okay, chicken and some clumps of rice were a bit dry. I also had a whole bottle of tempranillo, seeing as it was so cheap. When I asked for la cuenta (the check), the server came back with a shot of banana liqueur. I think everyone gets it - does drown out the garlic party going on in my mouth. Overall, I would definitely check this place out for the tapas - I'll be back more times to update with my favorites. I'm giving it 5* because out of all the patrons, there was just 1 guy taking orders and another lady delivering drinks/orders. Very impressive given how hard they were bolting around.

We had a tapas wheel for lunch and I guess it was okay, but we had better meals for better prices…read morein Puerto del Carmen. I think this restaurant won't be our first choice next time when we're hungry...
