Where the flavour begins

Italian restaurant in the centre of Tarifa

The essence of our cooking

A menu designed to surprise you

At La Trattoria Tarifa we invite you to enjoy the best Italian food in the very heart of Tarifa. Much more than a Neapolitan restaurant, we are a place where tradition and quality come together to offer you a dining experience you will want to repeat.

We carefully select the best produce from the land and the Mediterranean Sea, the origin and soul of Italian cooking. We use fresh, seasonal, top-quality ingredients to prepare traditional Neapolitan dishes with that special touch that sets us apart. In true Italian style, we let every ingredient shine on its own.

Much more than pizza

AVPN-certified Neapolitan pizza is our speciality, but the menu goes much further. There are starters to share, such as fried burrata with mortadella and pistachio, beef sirloin carpaccio with truffle or Tarifa red tuna tartare, and a pasta menu with the classics (authentic carbonara with guanciale, lasagne baked in the wood-fired oven, linguine with Genovese pesto) as well as filled pasta like pumpkin tortelli or truffle lunette.

If you prefer meat or fish, there is beef tagliata and fillet, grilled Tarifa red tuna and grilled octopus. And to finish, homemade desserts: tiramisu (also in a pistachio version), panna cotta, Sicilian cannolo or chocolate fondant.

We have gluten-free pasta (please let us know in advance) and gluten-free beer, vegetarian and vegan pizzas, and simple pasta for children.

If you’re in Tarifa and in need of pizza, this place is essential. We returned here several times during our long stay in Tarifa as the pizza was truly exceptional and probably some of the best we’ve ever had. The staff were always super welcoming and lovely and even recognised us on our second visit! I will dream about the bombazza pizza, which if you’re a ricotta lover like me, is simply a must, given the crust stuffed with beautiful ricotta. Thank you to the La Trattoria team, we hope we can return someday in the future. Fingers crossed you get the recognition you deserve and win more awards.

Was worried by the reviews but they’re totally wrong: the staff were all lovely, attentive and the service was really fast. The pizzas were so good and authentic - Italian approved!! By far the best pizza in Tarifa, ignore the sour reviews.
