Fodor's Review:

This has fast become the hot place to see and be seen on Puerto Viejo's main drag. The owners, four brothers who learned to cook at the knee of their Italian grandmother back in Rimini, have concocted a menu, several pages long, of pizzas and handmade pastas. Recorded reggae and mambo music bops in the background.

Best restaurant in Puerto Viejo! We were in town for five nights and ate at this place for 4 of those 5 nights. Restaurant is located on a busy corner in the middle of town. Great mixture of locals and tourists. HUGE pizza menu. Best Italian food I have had in a long time (and I've been to Italy) right in basically the middle of no-where. Can't wait to get back. Great, fun open air bar as well. Go watch a soccer game. The locals crowd on the street and in the bar to watch games. It's great.
