    In Protaras where food is not really impressive, me and my partner found this gem. Even with dinner included in our stay in Cyprus, we ended up at this restaurant three nights in a row and the only thing we would do differently during our stay would be to find this place earlier in order to try everything they have at their Menu. All the food we had, appetizers, pasta courses, pizza, desserts and ice cream was a great, authentic experience and their friendly staff was lovely. I would love to come back later!

    Nice, authentic and delicious Italian food in Protaras. We loved the pizza (which is made with a local flour mix developed by the owner and chefs) and the vegetable lasagna. Note: This not a westernised Italian so pasta is served as is should- al dente and the risotto the same - so if you are looking for something not authentic pizza hut is just around the corner… ha!

    Absolutely lovely place with excellent food! True Italian cuisine and dining. The owner is Italian, and so was most of his colleagues. The owner took his time with us, explained everything. The meat and cheeses are imported from Italy, tasted absolutely delicious. The gelato was home made, pasta fresh and home made, and pizza dough had risen for 72 hours before served. Can absolutely recommend. We ordered the sharing platter of meat/cheeses, lasagna, pizza and ravioli.

    We was in Italy for 6 months and we have visited the best authentic Italian restaurants all over Italy. This restaurant is the best authentic Italian restaurant in Cyprus! The workers understood our passion for Italian food and they were very friendly.

    High expectations, the only genuine Italian restaurant in Protaras. I was disappointed. My tortellini was chewy, the ragu good. Nine-thirty loud music thudding out from a nearby bar. It then got louder and louder and emptied the restaurant

    Nice location, little bit off from the main shopping street. Good pizza oven, reasonable prices, service also was ok. Food was ok, not the best pizza i ever had but not much to complain about. No air con in the restaurant...

    We had a family dinner today in the restaurant. Wonderful food made with love and professional and nice staff (special thanks to Luca - sorry, if I wrote the name wrong :). Highly recommend, real Italy place (and atmosphere) in Protaras. Restaurant is a bit outside of main street, but it’s worth visiting 100%.

    A real Italian restaurant where details matter. If you like genuine Italian food, want to tickle your senses with high quality Italian ingredients or have exactly the right wine for your food, this is the place! Service is superb.

    We had a pizza here during our holiday. They tasted delicious, combined with lovely service - the owner there too to make us feel welcome. Would recommend for an authentic Italian meal!

    This is THE place I would recommend in this city. This is real Italian food of high quality and it is served by really friendly and passionate people. Fresh homemade pasta, nice pizzas and even homemade ice cream. Only restaurant in town where we came back a second night.

    Saw the reviews of this restaurant and had to check it out, staff were friendly and atmosphere was nice. Only downside is we did have to wait around and hour for our food but it was quite busy. Portions were just right for me, but were on the small side. Overall a good experience, would go again to try some more stuff on the menu.

    Great service and hospitality. The food was authentic, homemade and delicious. The Italian owner was incredibly welcoming and fun to talk to not to mention that the desserts that we ordered were on the house.

    I love Italian food but the service has to match the food. If you expect a quick service avoid this place, pizza is as fast as it gets and I'd say they just about managed that. The Pasta and Chips took an extra 45 mins to arrive. Now if the service was as good as the food they would have got 5 stars. I hope they improve there timing skills as everyone on the same table should be severed at the same time.

  • 5/5 Pinja M. 9 months ago on Google
    Great gem in Protaras! I was searching for authentic Italian food and was not disappointed. The only problem was that the restaurant’s not that easily to be found since it locates in Eden square and the sign to the restaurant is fairly small. The food was excellent and really autenthic Italian food (not american nor european-italian type) The owner and also most of the stuff are actually Italians and you could tell it by the style of the food. Unfortunately we noticed that many other Italian restaurants were getting customers mainly cause most of them are located in the main street. We were actually the only customers around 6pm/18:00. Which was pretty weird and sad for Il boccon divino. But Il boccon divino is the one and only classic Italian restaurant and I hope they get the attention and credit they deserve! The prices were fair, around mid-range. We took pizzas and they tasted like in Italy! High quality incredients and chewie yet crusty pizza. Will be coming back again and I will definitely try pasta dishes!

    Brilliant food. Classic italian with the finest ingredients. The staff are all italian and really know the works and how to host. Do not be fooled by google maps. The entrance to the Eden square is perfectly accessible from the main street below. There's an adjacent kiddy park so they can run wild while you have a proper Meal.
