Italian restaurant
4.5 (5)Santa Cruz de Tenerife20-30 €
La Famiglia se sienta a la mesa is a Santa Cruz Italian restaurant for a generous, relaxed meal with pasta, pizza, risotto and dessert. The name suits the format: visitors describe large portions, attentive service and dishes that work well when a family or group wants a proper shared meal rather than a quick snack.
Fresh pasta is the strongest signal in the reviews, with thin crisp pizza, risotto, carbonara and tiramisu also mentioned repeatedly. It is family-friendly in the useful, practical sense: children have eaten well here, and staff are described as attentive when something goes wrong.

One of the best places to eat in Tenerife! The food is so delicious, I mean we read the reviews before but it was outstanding. Our daughter enjoyed it as well. The waiter Felix is a remarkable person: because he forgot to bring the drinks on time, he removed them from the bill. Such a wonderful and a rare thing nowadays! This means clearly that this restaurant is not only serving food but it’s more than that.

Super authentic Italian food — honestly one of the best meals we’ve had. Sacha our waiter for really nice!
All the pasta dishes were to die for, you can really taste the quality and freshness. Portions were generous (no chance you’re leaving hungry 😅), and the waiters were genuinely friendly and attentive.
Great location too, really easy to get to and perfect for a relaxed evening.
Would 100% recommend 👌

This restaurant is a must in Spain! We had some kind of special carbonara and chicken barbeque pizza. For dessert we had tiramisu, which was ONE OF THE BEST we’ve ever had!! The staff was also really nice, our waiter’s name was Sacha, and he made sure our food and experience was extraordinary. Definitely reccomend!!
