Local tip
A reservation is sensible for popular lunch and dinner periods, especially when an outdoor table in the garden is preferred.

Gelatone - Trattoria Pizzeria brings Italian cooking to L’Estartit with a menu shaped by Tuscan traditions and the local character of the Empordà. The restaurant combines the classic formats of a trattoria and pizzeria with the gelateria heritage that gave the business its name.

Pizza and focaccia are central to the offering, alongside recipes rooted in an Italian family cooking tradition. The style is straightforward and convivial, with food designed for relaxed dining rather than formal occasions. Gelato remains part of the identity, connecting the restaurant with its earlier role as a gelateria while sitting naturally alongside the savoury menu.

The restaurant is set on Passeig Marítim, close to the seafront in L’Estartit, making it a practical option for a meal during a coastal stay on the Costa Brava. Its setting includes a rear garden, which adds an outdoor dimension to the dining experience and provides an alternative to the indoor restaurant space. The atmosphere suits casual lunches, evening meals and informal gatherings.

Gelatone also offers takeaway, making pizza and focaccia available for guests who prefer to eat elsewhere. Table reservations are accepted, while the restaurant’s kitchen service is organised around lunch and dinner periods. The combination of a central seaside location, familiar Italian cooking and a garden setting gives the venue a broad appeal for holidaymakers, local diners and families looking for an uncomplicated meal.

The connection between Tuscany and the Empordà is part of the restaurant’s character. Italian culinary traditions remain at the core, while the setting in L’Estartit gives the experience a distinct local context. Gelatone is therefore suited to diners seeking pizza, focaccia, traditional Italian-style recipes or gelato in a relaxed trattoria environment, with the added convenience of takeaway and outdoor seating.
