4 Stagioni, more than just a restaurant

There are many places to eat in Gibraltar, but few combine history, calm, and authenticity like 4 Stagioni – Italian Restaurant & Pizzeria. Since opening in 2006, this family-run restaurant has become a favourite spot for those seeking good food in a peaceful setting, away from the busy streets and tourist crowds.

Located in Jumper’s Bastion on Rosia Road, 4 Stagioni offers a relaxed, quiet atmosphere — no traffic, no noise, just the calm of a pedestrian area where you can savour your meal at your own pace.

A location full of history and convenience

Housed in an 18th-century British defensive wall, the restaurant retains the historical charm of Gibraltar’s old fortifications. Nearby you’ll find Rosia Bay, famous for welcoming Admiral Nelson’s HMS Victory after the Battle of Trafalgar.

But beyond its history, 4 Stagioni sits in a truly privileged location:

  • Just a short walk from the end of Main Street, perfect for lunch after exploring the town or shopping.
  • Only a few minutes from the Gibraltar Cable Car, the gateway to the Rock.
  • And just steps away from the Gibraltar Botanic Gardens, ideal for a relaxing stroll before or after your meal.

Calm and comfort go hand in hand

At 4 Stagioni, you can disconnect completely — no car noise, no crowds, just the sound of conversation and the scent of fresh Italian cooking.

There’s also a large parking area just one minute away, at 1 Red Sands Road, beside the Cable Car. You’ll find blue (paid), yellow (residential) and white (free) parking zones, making it easy to park and dine without stress.

“It couldn’t be easier: park, walk a minute, and enjoy a meal in a peaceful setting.”

The Mediterranean essence in every dish

Chef Paolo Olmetto, originally from Sardinia, brings over 40 years of culinary experience to 4 Stagioni. His menu celebrates authentic Italian and Mediterranean cuisine, with handmade pasta, wood-fired pizzas, fresh fish, meats, and homemade desserts.

Each dish reflects the spirit of the restaurant: good food, family warmth, and the beauty of simplicity.

The perfect stop after exploring Gibraltar

After visiting Main Street, taking the Cable Car, or strolling through the Botanic Gardens, there’s no better way to end your day than with a meal at 4 Stagioni.
Enjoy authentic Italian flavours in a quiet, historic corner of Gibraltar — a place where good food and good moments come together.

“At 4 Stagioni, every meal is a pause in time — good food, calm surroundings, and Gibraltar’s authentic charm.”
