Campino

Campino in Camp de Mar is an Italian restaurant perched directly above the 18th hole of Golf de Andratx — with sweeping views over the bay of Camp de Mar in the southwest of Mallorca. The name is a quiet play on words: in Italian, "Campino" means "little field," nodding both to the golf course and to Camp de Mar itself. Italian roots and a Mallorcan address in a single word. What makes Campino special Campino opened in 2000 as the clubhouse of the then-new Golf de Andratx, which has since hosted tournaments such as the PGA National Challenge Cup and the Mallorca Magazin Trophy. It was founded by restaurateur Giuseppe "Pino" Persico; after his early death in 2015, his nephew Luigi Capalbo took over and still runs the place today. Over the years it has grown from a pure golf clubhouse into a destination in its own right, drawing guests who arrive without a single club in their bag. The credo "Stile di Vita" runs through everything — right down to the colours of the Italian flag, which the house reads as green for freshness, white for quality, red for taste. What you feel most is the Calabrian warmth of the hosts, the kind of welcome that brings guests back year after year. Kitchen & menu The plate is authentic Italian with a Mediterranean hand: homemade pasta, pizza and classics, with vegetarian dishes throughout. Over the years, house specialities like saccottini with truffle cream and scampi Campini have made a name for themselves. Guests single out the carbonara and the truffle pasta in particular — the latter occasionally crowned the best on the island in reviews. Fish dishes such as sole also feature on the menu. The style leans traditional rather than experimental: honest, cleanly executed Italian cooking at a consistently high level. On platforms like TheFork, Campino sits near the top at 9.1 out of 10, with its highest marks for atmosphere and service. Atmosphere & setting The heart of it is the generous terrace, with panoramic views across the fairways to the Mediterranean coast — and at roughly 60 seats inside and around 160 outside, one of the most coveted view-tables in Camp de Mar. A glass of wine as the sun sets behind the 18th hole and a long evening ahead: that is exactly why many come. The restaurant sits opposite the Pro Shop and right next to the Steigenberger Golf & Spa Resort, tucked into the green of the course. Free parking is available right at the restaurant, with free street parking nearby too. Live music sets an evening mood, and Campino is also popular for weddings and private celebrations. Several times a year, it transforms into a backdrop for themed evenings and celebrations. Who Campino is for For anyone after Italian food with a view — whether after a round of golf, for a sunset dinner, or for a business meal, where the calm terrace earns frequent praise. You don't need to play golf: Campino is open to everyone. In high season, book ahead.
