Cozy atmosphere in Italian setting; nice pasta and a good glass of red Italian wine. Live music (not so good, but fortunately not loud). Reasonable value for money. Quick, friendly service.

An enchanting restaurant in the very hearth of San Jose, with authentic Italian cuisine and spotless service. Everything is hand made. Try the Festa della Pasta, for a fix price you can try 5 different handmade pastas. Enjoy our brick oven long fermentati

Service was very spotty. Waiter uninspired and not at all helpful to the two gluten free diners at our table. The ravioli and the pizza I shared with my friend weâre ok (ravioli lacked flavor) but the greatest disappointment was that both dishes were barely warm. The pizza had sat for so long that it was soggy. Prices seem high for the quality, presentation and service.

Went for a business lunch. Greast surprise. All dishes ordered were made to perfection with large portions and good service. The place is set in an old San José house and it is welcoming. It has private parking on the side. Came here because 2 people of our group have gluten issues. There were plenty of choices for them. We all enjoyed. We will be back.

We'd had a late lunch so just ordered something light for our evening meal. 2 x chicken caesar salad's, 1 x roasted pepper & feta salad, 1 x grilled octopus. Large portion sizes. All extremely tasty. The staff were friendly and helpful. Unfortunately we didnt get to enjoy the daytime views. As other reviewers have mentioned... stung by a 23% tax charged onto the final bill.

After looking at the menu of both Gabriella's and the Runaway Grill (Gabriella's is upstairs and Runaway Grill is downstairs in the same building) we opted for Gabriella's for the better seafood and pasta selections. And we were not disappointed.Advised on the food by our excellent waiter Dixon, who gave us great and attentive service, we had the wow-wow shrimp as appetizer (had the right amount of sweetness and spice). For main we had Salmon and Mahi-Mahi which were very delicious, and our kids enjoyed Gabriella's Balls pasta very much. For dessert we got a great fire show to prepare the Bananas Flambé, and it tasted just as good.The location is also nice as you have a beautiful view over the marina, and the Northwestern coast line. Nice and romantic in fact.The place isn't cheap but we felt it was well worth the money. A great place to have a special dinner. Thanks Dixon!

This restaurant serves top quality food for reasonable prices. The restaurant owner is originally from Italy, so there are some Italian dishes on her menu card...but...the Costa Rician dishes are awesome!We ate yellow tuna, which was the best dish we had in our 17 days journey through the country. Also the deserts were great like apple pie (beautifully plated), cheesecake (really good), salami chocolate cake (wow factor), pannacotta (delicious!). The chardonnay wine (Santa Ema from Chili) was delicious and went well with the tuna.Laat but not least...the coffee was great! True Italian espresso, yes!!We had such a wonderful dinner that we decided to come back the next day. We made this decision already at our first dinner in El Chiringuite, and asked the owner whether she could serve fresh lobster the next day. No problem, she asked her fisherman..and the next evening she served wonderful cooked lobster...delicious with the Santa Ema chardonnay...heaven on earth!For us the best food in Costa Rica!Hi 45moniqued,thanks for leaving us such a wonderful review. We are thrilled you loved your experience. Our staff will definitely be happy to read what you wrote. We put customers experience and satisfaction as our priority and your review reaffirms the hard work we put in every day. So many thanks for your kind words and we look forward to seeing you again.

We took a group of our collaborators for lunch to the Market today. We had coordinated some details beforehand but definitely it was thanks to Priscilla's attention and amazing service that we had such a pleasant experience. The food was delicious, service was great, prompt, and super courteous. Even having a vegan person have her lunch BTO, everything was seamless. This has been a nightmare at other places but most certainly not here. Thanks Priscilla!Dear Adrian,We´re glad that you enjoyed the food and the service of The Market. Thanks for sharing your comments, your opinion it´s very important for us. Forward to welcome you soon.Best regards,Ricardo Menendez,General Manager.

Cristian was our waiter and provide us with warm and pleasant set. The food was wonderful. The only request I have is to NOT microwave the bread as they did and to serve real butter in lieu of the artificial butter made with rapeseed oil.
