Casa Francesco

Sitting adjacent to the glistening Ibiza town marina, Casa Francesco brings a welcome dose of warm, Italian hospitality to one of the island’s prime positions. The latest opening from the renowned Casa Prato Group – the talented team behind local favourites Pizzeria Adiós and Il Dek – this elegant Ibiza restaurant draws diners in with its authentic Italian cuisine, carefully curated wine list and bustling atmosphere.

Open daily from 10am until 1am, this gorgeous new Ibiza restaurant is all about appreciating the island’s simple pleasures, whether that be a morning coffee, a lunchtime menu, a cocktail (or several) at sunset, a delectable dinner, or a nightcap before hopping to the next destination. Just a stone’s throw away from some of the island’s best clubs, you’ll be able to shimmy your way from Casa Francesco to the dancefloor in no time.

At Casa Francesco, the kitchen is helmed by Francesco Secci and supported by an über-talented tea. The mouth-wateringly good menu is centred on high-quality ingredients and generously sized sharing plates, plus recipes and flavours that are honour the traditions of Italy. As you settle at your table and peruse at the Ibiza restaurant’s menu, you’ll be spoilt for choice, which is exactly why many of the best dishes have been designed for both sharing and sparking conversation alike.

The Ibiza restaurant’s signature beef tartare trio makes the perfect starter, teamed with rustic bruschetta topped with Parma ham, brie and black truffle, while the burratina with red and yellow cherry tomatoes, crispy bread, pesto and fresh basil is equally as scrumptious. Try the flavour-filled roast beef, with sun-dried tomatoes, mustard sauce, rocket, brie and extra virgin olive oil – that’s if you can go past the melt-in-your-mouth Casa Francesco classic: poached quail egg and Parmesan cream finished with black truffle.

Mains at Casa Francesco include five decadent artisanal lasagnas, such as the classic ragú a la boloñesa, zesty pesto and the al tartufo, plus a home-style, comforting eggplant parmigiana just like nonna used to make. Mouthwatering dishes coming straight from the grill to your table include premium wagyu, grilled beef tagliata topped with grana padano and the signature smash cheeseburger ‘Casa Francesco’ – a dish many carnivores have declared the best burger on the island.

Wine is an essential part of the Casa Francesco experience, with a cellar spanning Italy’s best-known wine regions alongside French and international labels selected to complement each dish with balance and character. At this Ibiza restaurant, the cocktail selection features timeless classics and contemporary concoctions – the perfect companions for yacht-browsing at sunset (and beyond).

No matter what time the clock strikes, Casa Francesco has the ability to transport you thousands of miles away, to an ever-so tasty slice of Italy, all the while enjoying the buzz of La Marina – a winning combination that makes staying for one more glass of wine feel like the easiest decision of the night.
