MassaMonti has emerged as a popular destination in Santa Cruz de Tenerife for authentic, artisanal Italian focaccia crafted with high-quality imported ingredients.

Santa Cruz de Tenerife’s food scene has become much more diverse in recent years, with a growing focus on artisanal, specialized shops. As noted by digital influencer @manufoodhunter, MassaMonti—located at 16 Fernando Primo de Rivera Street—has become a go-to spot in the capital for traditional focaccia.

Since opening in 2022, the shop has earned a 4.7-star rating by focusing on fresh, daily-made dough and high-quality imported ingredients. Their menu features authentic Italian staples like 'nduja, guanciale, and house-made porchetta, with prices ranging from 7 to 13 euros depending on the choice.

MassaMonti has adapted to modern dining habits by offering both in-store service and home delivery. Their menu includes savory highlights like the pistachio cream and gorgonzola focaccia or the carbonara version, as well as sweet treats like their brioche with cream and pistachio paste.

The success of businesses like MassaMonti shows a clear trend across the Canary Islands: diners are increasingly looking for authentic, high-quality international food. The shop is open Wednesday through Sunday, from 1:00 PM to 10:30 PM, and closes on Mondays and Tuesdays to allow the team to maintain their artisanal standards.
