We found El Local as we were walking through Ibiza town and it looked quaint. As a family of 5 we did not have a reservation however the host sat us outside with no problems. Now, this is a very traditional Italian trattoria so there is no Western-style Italian food, no pizza or tomato-based heavy pasta or spaghetti. Our host kindly explained the dishes and our kids finally settled on their meal of choice. We had some lovely olives, bread and a house special aioli which went down a treat with the children while we waited for our mains. Our mains arrived after 15min as advised and we tucked in. My eldest declared the pulled port the best he has ever had, the penne got the seal of approval from another and our youngest found the tagliatelle portion just to much for her wee tummy. Both parents enjoyed their mains and the good lady indulged with a gorgeous tiramisu for dessert. I enjoyed the food as I sampled everyone's choice but I think this is more for adults as sometimes kids just want a lovely thin pizza not an artisan meal. So if your looking for delicious traditional Italian cooking then this is certainly the place, if you want a cheeky pizza or penne arrabbiata then there are plenty other places.

STUNNING. Was absolutely delighted to have found this beautiful little restaurant with the most delicious vegan food I’ve ever tasted. I have been struggling for the past few days after flying over from the UK finding it hard to find anything of substance for me to eat as a vegan. But this place has saved the day. Highly recommend thank you very much to the lovely waiter also.

A nice little local spot with some ambience but away from the madding crowds of the old town. We didn’t have a reservation but arrived around 8.45pm on a weeknight and were seated immediately by the friendly host. He spoke English, Italian and Spanish all fluently and was really delightful. The menu is limited but all the dishes we had were really nice. The ‘pizza not pizza’ with caprese topping was a nice starter to share between two. Very flavourful with fresh ingredients. We then had the salmon and mango tartare and the pistachio crusted tuna for mains. Though the tartare was large I would say it was more of a starter style dish and could’ve done with an accompanying salad or some vegetables to make it a main. The tuna was delicious. I enjoyed the seaweed salad that it came with, though my partner did not (seaweed can be an acquired taste.) We accompanied this with a beer and a red wine. By the glass it appeared there was no choice in wine- but an extensive selection by the bottle. I then had the pana cotta with strawberry for dessert. Pana cotta is always my favourite choice. This was very tasty, though if I’m being very particular- a little too gelatinous and not creamy enough (like I said, very particular) After our meal the host offered us a free shot and we had some local hierbas (herby aniseed liqueur), a lovely touch. We would recommend this venue For somewhere calmer in Ibiza centre.

Food was delicious. We had the pizza no pizza which Is no pizza. Loved that! Coupled with jar of sangria made that a great lunch

Very cosy, really nice food. Very friendly hosts.

Great service, Lovely food! We went 2 times on our vacation. It is the place for Italian food!

the taste was okay, but for 18 euro's i'd expect alot more food. This is all that was inside, i finished in less then 5 minutes. very dissapointing as i was really hungry...

Nice authentic Italian restaurant. Small a place so you have to look hard to find it: food was fresh and tasty. Service was quick and staff were nice. The owner is very passionate about the Italian way of serving things. The non pizza is basically a cooked base with a salad on top which is very tasty. Although if you are vegetarian keep in mind that the truffle mushroom version comes with ham (a few places in Ibiza seem to randomly add ham onto the dish without it being specified in the menu). So say you don’t want meat if you don’t! The pasta is home made and the seafood spaghetti was delicious. The chicken burger nice. A great find.

Excellent food and owners very helpful. I was late for a flight, they managed to make me eat quickly (even few minutes before opening ) It’s a little twist on some Italian dishes. hummus to die for.

Very good Italian food, especially the pasta. The owner is from the Veneto region, which is reflected in some of the dishes, such as the delicious "baccalà mantecato" (mashed cod with garlic, parsley and olive oil). Although the pasta is not freshly made, it's of very high quality. We really enjoyed the "paccheri alla carbonara", one of their most popular dishes. Better yet was the daily special: spaghetti with octopus and cherry tomatoes in a potato-pecorino sauce. While the menu is mostly traditional, it has some creative elements. For example, the "tenerina" (a traditional flour-less chocolate cake) was covered with "dulce de leche" and white chocolate. Overall, we had a fantastic dinner at el Local.

For the pasta alla norma I would give 5 Stars. Amazing, I could taste the properly Italian flavour (vegan) with just the right amount of salt and juicy eggplant. The vegan burger was just okay. :) The waiter was friendly and helped us with finding vegan options.

Delicious and authentic Italian food, friendly owner, cute tables outdoors. I can especially recommend the sous vide grilled rib eye steak, but the pasta carbonara was also very good and authentic with egg yolk (no cream). The menu includes a great range of starters, we only tried the Venetian bacalao, which was delicious.

Very nice food, very friendly people! Must visit when in the area!

Amazing restaurant managed by Italian staff. Selections of typical Italian and Mediterranean dishes with few vegan options: the babaganush is just perfect 😍 We ordered also the vegan bagel burger and a beef burger. The wine of the house, Montepulciano d’Abruzzo, is very tasty and vegan. Very recommended for a quit dinner just outside the caos of the Ibiza port. Super friendly staff.

THE BEST ITALIAN RESTAURANT IN IBIZA ! Pasta carbonara are a real delight 😊 Ask the owner about how and why they invented this dish in Italy, great story ! Entrance with charcuterie from Italy generously served and simply amazing ! 🇮🇹 😍 👏 Service was perfect and always with a smile ! I MUST recommand you this place, everything was perfect ! Bravissomo 😗

Amazing Italian food in a great location! Best on the island. Menu was explained with passion and wine pairing was top class. Fully recommend. Sparkling Rose for the win. 👌🏻

We had a lovely lunch here today. The pasta is fantastic and the service friendly. I recommend this restaurant.

Lovely food grea service and grea appetizers and starters

We had a delicious meal here, it is a good option for vegans (there are probably 3 - 4 vegan options). I ate the vegan burger and it really was one of the best I've ever had. If we ever return to Ibiza we will certainly come back to el Local.

A small but lovely restaurant, just outside the crowded streets of Ibiza Town. This was probably the best restaurant of Ibiza where I had diner. A really nice host who had an excellent recommendation of a bottle of wine for our diner. Just go there, and enjoy your evening! So tasty 👍👌

Sweet and not pretentious Italian restaurant. Service was top and food was great. Recommended.

What an absolutely wonderful place! The Owner was incredibly welcoming and helped Me make the best choice for the vegan dinner! I had the vegan bagel burger and it was super delicious. Everything about this place was spectacular and I can’t wait to go back!!

Really nice restaurant! Food is amazing and service as well. Good quality for a nice price and they explain all the dishes into detail. Will defenitely come back!
