Enjoy incredible Italian gastronomy and wonderful wines at Pimento. Dine in a cosy Italian style atmosphere accented by wood floors and a brick grotto ceiling. The traditional Italian menu offers a variety of fresh homemade pastas, risottos, fresh seafood

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. Dear Thomas,We´re glad that you enjoyed the food and the service of Pimento. Thanks for sharing your comments, your opinion it´s very important for us. Forward to welcome you soon.Best regards,Ricardo Menendez,General Manager.

My husband and I stumbled on this restaurant while walking and thought what the heck. It was delicious. My Spanish is horrible but they speak English here, a little broken, but still good enough for me. I would absolutely recommend this place to eat. The service was a little slow but I think it has more to do with the fact that we are in Central America and it's a slower pace here anyway(If you are in a hurry not the place to eat). The price is a little higher, but still much less than in the US for similar food. If you happen to be in the area go and sample the delicious food, you won't be disappointed. My husband thought the food was delicious and he's a very tough person to please.Thank you for your kind review. We are delighted to learn that you both were very pleased with your experience with us. We look forward to hosting you soon again.Best regards,Alessandra

This little unassuming restaurant has a great wine list, superb thin-crusted pizzas (try especially the mushroom, or the spanish pizza with homemade slightly hot sausage), and great ambience. The restaurant has been newly remodeled and the artwork that rotates through is engaging and adds to the charm.

Everything they served was freshly made and beautifully presented.The staff was excellent and the prices were reasonable. We had dinner there four nights in a row and if I lived in San Jose I would frequent this wonderful restaurant often.

From the decor to the chef/owner signing for your special occasion, you will really enjoy this landmark. The food is from the old country. Everything at this place is fantastic! Don't miss out on the desserts. All homemade, my favorite is the creme brulee with blueberries. Eat family style, off the menu or make a request & Tony will serve it up. Don't miss this wonderful experience.

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.

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 we’re 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.
