The story
On the quiet edge of Es Pujols, Casanita stakes its claim with a motto borrowed from Oscar Wilde: “I will come, but it must be a serious dinner. I hate people who take meals lightly.” This is not a place for rushed plates or casual bites. It is a cantina y pescado – a wine bar and fish restaurant – where the focus narrows to what matters most: the day’s catch, handmade pasta, and the simple, direct flavours of the Mediterranean.
The kitchen works in an Italian Contemporary and Seafood idiom, letting the product speak. Chipirones – small, tender squid – appear as a signature, alongside fresh pasta made in-house and pescado del día, the fish of the day, sourced from local waters. There is no menu of distractions; the offerings change with what the sea provides. The setting is intimate, with outdoor seating for balmy evenings and air conditioning inside when the island heat builds.
Casanita has earned a Michelin Recommended distinction, a quiet nod to the discipline behind the stove. For those who take their meals seriously, this is a destination on Formentera worth seeking out.
