Italian restaurant
4.7 (5)Playa de las Americas20-30 €
First Love is a long-running Italian restaurant in Playa de las Americas for pasta, shared starters, seafood plates and a balcony table when you want a proper sit-down meal rather than a quick resort fallback. Reviews repeatedly praise pasta, desserts, attentive service and portions large enough for sharing.
It is broader than a pizza stop. Reviews mention mixed Italian starters, carbonara, ravioli, fish pasta, seafood grills, tiramisu and staff who took food allergies seriously enough to talk through safe options and kitchen handling. Tables can feel tight, so book ahead if you want a better table, a balcony spot or time to discuss dietary needs.

You need to go there! Delicious Italian food, great quality and soooo tasty! Shared plate as starter very recommended - lovely selection of Italien tapas. Their pasta tastes like heaven. We went there twice as it was sooo good. The desserts are also very yummy :)

We had a nice lunch with my family at First Love. I ordered the homemade ravioli, and while the preparation felt a little 'quick', the actual recipe is fantastic. The pasta and filling were very flavorful. Good choice, if you prioritize taste!

We have just one plate, all in one! The mixed grills! Generous portion for two persons! The tuna cuts, half sea bass, big cuttlefish rings, prawns, mussels all cooked well and served hot! Brilliant! Thanks to the serving lady who is sweet and friendly to all customers!👍🏻

Amazing service. We have several food allergies and Alessandro sat down with us, listened and went with us through the options. He created a pasta dish that was low in histamine, gluten free, milk free and nuts free and ensured the kitchen cleaned everything carefully before cooking. It was delicious! On top a little surprise for my girlfriend who had birthday. Thank you!

Lovely local Italian. Starters were tasty mussels/garlic bread/Caprese salad was solid. Mains: catbonara was v good. Fish pasta was ok, pasta cooked lovely. Lasagna again ok, tasty, but needed more cheese and finished off better. Chips not cooked enough fir our taste. Desert was class, Tiramisu tasty, bit steep price wise, but service was very good & attentive. View is good at balcony, small & tight table wise. Woukd recommend
