Let’s be honest: there’s always room for Italian food. At least we love it! Do you feel the same? Whether it’s a casual pasta night, a date that needs to go right, or just one of those days where only a proper pizza will do: Italian always delivers. And lucky you, because Palma’s Italian restaurant scene is seriously good. From cosy neighbourhood spots to more design-led, buzzing places, the city has levelled up.

So if you’re wondering where to go for the best Italian restaurants in Palma de Mallorca, here’s our updated list. No fuss, just good places you’ll actually want to book.

Best Italian restaurants in Palma

Brutus – Italian with a twist (and a vibe)

Let’s start strong. Brutus is not your classic trattoria. It’s more like a modern Italian spot with a bit of edge. Open kitchen, wood-fired oven, different stations, movement… you feel it as soon as you walk in.

The menu plays with Italian classics but keeps things seasonal and fresh. Pizza, pasta, Mediterranean touches; all done in a way that feels current but still comforting.

Come for the food, stay for the vibes.

Giromatto – Rome in Santa Catalina

If you’re after something more traditional (but still cool), Giromatto is your place.

Located in Santa Catalina, this small Italian spot brings real Roman flavours to Palma. Think proper pasta dishes, simple ingredients done right, and that warm, slightly chaotic Italian energy that just works. The kind of place where you order one pasta… and end up sharing three.

Sandro – Italian classics done right

Sandro is one of those restaurants that just makes sense.

Right in the centre of Palma, it’s elegant without being too much, and the focus is clear: quality ingredients and fresh dishes, every day.

You’ll find all the classics: pasta, risottos, Mediterranean-inspired dishes, executed with care. It’s a safe bet when you want something that works, whether it’s a dinner with friends or something a bit more special.

Osteria Sant Francesc – Low-key, high quality

This one flies a bit more under the radar, and that’s exactly why we like it.

Osteria Sant Francesc is all about simple Italian cooking, done properly. No overthinking, no unnecessary extras: just good pasta, good wine and a setting that feels relaxed but still special.

Perfect for those nights when you want something good, but without the noise.

Rikito – Cosy, fun and seriously good pasta

If you’ve spent any time in Santa Catalina, chances are you’ve heard of Rikito. And yes, it lives up to the hype.

This place mixes classic Italian recipes with a cosy, welcoming atmosphere, focusing on fresh ingredients and homemade pasta.

It’s the kind of spot where everything feels easy: great food, good energy, and a vibe that makes you want to stay longer than planned.

 

So… where are you booking?

Whether you’re into classic Italian, something more modern, or just looking for a good pasta fix, Palma’s got you covered.

And the best part? Most of these are just a short walk from Nakar Hotel, right in the centre of the city.
