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 quite literally walked into this restaurant thinking âdo we stay or leaveâ. Not convinced it was going to be good, boy were we wrong!! Miguel, greeted us right away, explaining the menu and specials, encouraged us to try different dishes, recommended wine and generally was just absolutely charming. The food was well seasoned, cooked to perfection and beautifully presented! What more could you ask for? We felt like we had definitely ended our trip to Costa Rica on a high note!!!

Our family of 3 (two adults and 12 year old son) had a delicious dinner at Emilioâs café. We had an early dinner (4:30) and were able to reserve a table right up against the balcony, what a view! The meals were delicious. Both my husband and I had the two different chicken curry dishes, both were so flavorful. Our son had the chicken tenders (he still eats like a kid), which he described as the best heâs ever eaten (and heâs eaten a lot of chicken tenders in 12 years). We split 2 desserts â amazing! The price was quite reasonable for this type of food, plus fresh made desserts (no alcohol, just teas and coffee) $65 total, including tip. Highly recommend Emilioâs Café!

Pescatore Restaurant is focused on providing recipes where creativity and originality are the highlights, fusing Peruvian and Mediterranean cuisine. A truly new and unique experience. Finally note the open kitchen, large windows and the ability to eat out
Reviewed By robert_bos53
This non-assuming place, 5 minutes drive from Multiplaza, offers a nice ambiance, friendly service and most of all: delicious food. Inspired by Peruvian herbs, spices and vegetables, they present an original menu of dishes, with the emphasis on fish and seafood, but also some great meat dishes. Highly recommended. Continuous service from midday onwards.

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.

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.
