L’Artigiano Forno Ristorante

We are just back from a holiday in Playa Blanca, our first time in Lanzarote. I need to eat gluten free as I have Coeliac disease, and so it's good to see many menus now have allergens listed which makes things easier for me. I had tried a few of the seafront restaurants over the 10 days and whilst there were options I found some of the food to be a bit lacking in flavour and portion sizes which is disappointing especially considering the prices being charged. So to try to find somewhere realty good for dinner towards the end of our trip I searched for "best restaurant in Playa Blanca" on Google and found the L’Artigiano Forno Ristorante at the top of the list. This was great as the location is just a short 5 minutes walk from our hotel and the gluten free options were abundant. We had one dinner and one lunch at this lovely restaurant and my boyfriend was delighted with the delicious pizza, which was made with care and clearly the freshest ingredients. The gluten free seafood pizza I had was delicious as was the chocolate dessert. The prawns in sizzling garlic oil were also fantastic, we had one portion to share. I did not enjoy the carbonara as much, possibly just my own taste, but it is so good to have the option of gluten free pasta. The service was friendly and attentive, and the price was very good value. This restaurant was a great find, and the only one we repeated over our 10 night stay. Definitely drop by if you are holidaying in Playa Blanca.

Great, a little out of the way, but you can see the sea. Very good food, very welcoming, super friendly service, even from the chef. The pizzas are very good. They also have gluten-free versions. A must-try.
