It is very delicious, although we think the prices are a bit high.
4. Pikza, Italian restaurant in Las Palmas
Pikza must be one of the italian restaurants in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria that you should try once in your life, both for its pizzas with quality dough, as well as its fresh pasta. His menu is not very extensive, something that we see as positive because his specialization in each dish is brutal. We recommend the pizza with speck, mozarella, roast potato and gorgonzola. This restaurant is also specialized in cocktails, so you can pair your pizza or pasta dish with their tasty proposals.
5. Piemonte, Italian restaurants in Las Palmas (Las Canteras)

6. Jevule, Italian restaurant Playa del Inglés
This Italian restaurant in Gran Canaria It is in the south, in the area of Playa del Inglés. We were blown away by his fresh pasta and melanzane alla parmigiana or eggplant parmesan. They are inside the Los Tilos apartments, in front of the El Yumbo CC. By the way, leave room for dessert, because its tiramisu It is one of the best we have tried on the island.
7. La Vicaría Ingenio, Italian restaurant in Gran Canaria east area
Another of the Italian restaurants in Gran Canaria to take into account is La Vicaria in the town of Ingenio. Their place is super romantic and they have so much fresh pasta, as with the famous Roman pins. And what is the Roman pinsa? Unlike pizzas and focaccias, its dough is oval and made with natural flours (soy, rice, wheat). Its fermentation is also longer, 72 hours. This restaurant, in addition to being delicious, is super romantic and we recommend it for special occasions.
8. La Cantina, Valsequillo
Another corner to eat good Italian food in Gran Canaria we find it in Valsequillo. They have both pasta, pizza and other dishes that have nothing to do with Italian food.

The desserts are also homemade and we chose their Black Chocolate Mousse. In this video lesson We will tell you more about this Italian in Valsequillo.
9. Rústico Pizza e Vino, Italian restaurant Maspalomas (San Fernando)
The rustic pizzeria is one of our Italian restaurants in Gran Canaria favorites for the quality and variety they offer in their pizza dough. That is, here you can choose between several dough options, including for Celiac. We highlight the mass of five cereals, the traditional one, the one with whole wheat flour, the one with soy flour with long yeast and the black dough with activated charcoal for easy digestion. Here we recommend the Rustic pizza (mozarella, dried tomato, arugula and pesto), the Boscaiola (with parmesan, arugula, speck and boletus) and that of pear, walnuts and gorgonzola.
