ABOUT US
Established in 1975, Cafe de La Plaza is the first and oldest restaurant in Palmas del Mar, Puerto Rico.
In 1982, the Colon family acquired it, leasing it to renowned chefs over the years.
In 2009, at just 21, Cristina Angelique Colon, Esq. took the reins, becoming the youngest restaurant owner in Palmas del Mar. Initially, she ran it as a Caribbean Fusion restaurant.
By 2015, Cristina, an accomplished attorney and entrepreneur, rebranded Cafe de La Plaza into a true Italian Ristorante. Drawing from her travels and family’s culinary heritage, our menu offers the most authentic Italian cuisine on Puerto Rico’s East Coast. We are dedicated to supporting our community by working with local distributors and sourcing 60% of our ingredients from local farmers. Additionally, Cafe de La Plaza has curated a special wine list, featuring selections from around the world with a focus on our passion for Italy’s finest varietals.
