Café de la Plaza

Cafe de La Plaza was established in 1975. It is recognized as being the first restaurant in Palmas del Mar, Puerto Rico.  Café de La Plaza Ristorante Italiano serves up some of the most authentic Italian cuisine on the east coast of Puerto Rico. Our chefs combine flavors from all regions of Italy including Rome, Sicily, and Tuscany.

All our sauces are deliciously homemade. We conscientiously bring you a farm-to-table experience by growing a lot of the ingredients that go into your enjoyable meal from our farm in Yabucoa, PR and the farms of other local growers in that region. At Cafe de La Plaza, family and food are a big part of our lives. We want to create a casual fun family style dining experience that you can enjoy with you friends and loved ones. We hope you will join us at out table. Buon Appetito!
