El Chillinguito
An Italian-Caribbean kitchen serving tuna steak, seafood pasta, and carbonara, closed Sundays and consistently named one of the best meals in Santa Catalina.

Atmosphere
Chillinguito is small, so it fills up around 7:30pm most nights. Anna, who hosts and serves, is especially good at making every table feel looked after — regulars ask for her by name.
What to Expect
The seafood pasta and frutti di mare are the most-ordered dishes, alongside tuna steak with coconut rice and grilled vegetables, carbonara, and pasta with clams. Portions and flavor both hold up — several people call it the best meal they've had in the country, not just the town.
Good to Know
A local regular's take: it's genuinely good and unpretentious, a bit pricier than most of the town, but worth it for the welcome alone. Reserve by WhatsApp if you want a table past 7:30, and note it's closed Sundays.
