Marítima Puerto de Santiago, right in the heart of Santiago del Teide, Santa Cruz de Tenerife.

At La Gaviota, the connection to Italy is palpable. The restaurant boasts a menu brimming with delightful offerings that highlight the rich flavors of traditional Sicilian cooking.

As Brian Pate so enthusiastically remarked, the service is fantastic and personalized, making each visit memorable.

Local patrons and tourists alike agree that a trip to La Gaviota is incomplete without indulging in their mariscos. One satisfied customer, Erkan Bu, enthusiastically pointed out that the seafood is "mucho mucho good," signifying its freshness and flavorful preparation. In addition, the restaurant is known for its delightful sangria, which perfectly complements any dish, creating a harmonious dining experience.

The reviews reflect a deep appreciation for the authenticity and caliber of the cuisine, but perhaps the most compelling aspect of Restaurante La Gaviota del Atlántico is the heart that it's steeped in—a commitment not just to serve food, but to create a community.

Fabulous food and great service. A lovely family run restaurant. 100% recommend.

We got the recommendation by Kristina, the owner of our apartment if we would like mariscos (seafood) for an reasonable price, we should go to La Gaviota, it is mucho mucho good. What should we say, a small family owned Italian restaurant. The staff is very friendly and also competent, the food was really great, so it endet up we came 3 times for dinner, and every time, it was really great. First time grilled seafood, second time carpaccio and pasta frutti di mare, third time paella. Really nothing to complain, everything fine! Gracie mille!

Italian food done properly. We visited twice and both times had great service and authentic Italian food. Home made pasta and lasagne were great... pizza and calzone were spot on. Friendly staff (originally from Sicily) and good prices. Recommend this one if you're looking for Italian near playa La Arena
