We were in town for a conference and took advantage of having everyone in the same area to have a group dinner at Caffe Mediterráneo. The chef provided a fixed price option that looked pretty good, but I asked the chef to throw together a pasta and tomato sauce dish as I didnât really like the options. I have to say that the chef/owner was completely gracious about it and made a very tasty dish. The rest of the group liked the fixed price menu. The house red was fairly good. We liked the atmosphere and the service.

This place is spacious and the ambience is great. Our margheritas were perfect! They have an awesome wood-fired pizza oven... but they don't use it to it's potential. I've never seen pizzas made the way they do here, and they suffer because of it. They spread the dough on a metal pan and bake it in an ordinary gas stove/oven. Then they pull it out and put it in the brick wood oven for a few minutes before serving. The final product reflects this substandard method of pizza making. The crust doesn't have the characteristic crunch of a truly wood fired pizza and the sauce tastes out of a can, bland. We had a margherita pizza which gives one the opportunity to really judge the "bones" of a pizza makers skill. Result: substandard crust, bland sauce, no fresh tomatoes, and way too much cheese. We really wanted to like this place but were disappointed.

We returned to this beautiful setting overlooking the ocean when our friends joined us for a week. Again graciously greeted and welcomed. The antipasto platter was the best we have ever had and the rest of the meal equally deserving of five stars. Authentic Italian cuisine in Costa Rica! Fabulous. Be sure to make a reservation so they know you are coming. A small intimate property, worth the climb up the hill.

Vice is home to my new favorite pizza in town, in addition to so many other cool vegan items on their menu. They also have a few local kombuchas and mocktails. The terrace is also super nice.. The heaters keep the temperature perfect at night, so that you can sit under the stars without a jacket. This is definitely a must see spot in Antigua!

We were really impressed by their interesting and varied menu and the quality of all the food we ate. Although we ordered pizza and pasta, they have plenty other options. The carbonara was great and very authentic, although a minor complaint was that the eggs had scrambled slightly but it was still very good! The best thing we tried was definitely the pizza. It had wonderful flavour and a perfect crust! A minor complaint would be that it would be nice if a portion if bread was included at the start of the meal, rather than as an extra charge. Overall though - great food and we can't wait to come back!

We sat upstairs at table for two under the cutest window over looking the garden seating. Very Italian feeling and cozy. The restaurant seems to be popular with the locals and large family was seating in same dining area. Most around us were eating pizza. My lasagna was piping cook and very tasty. We ordered the antipasto and ham, salami, and eggplant was excellent. What mostly made an impression on me was the use of glass bottled water which really makes a statement in a country with huge plastic problem. The straw in my husbandâs mojito was stainless steel, BRAVO! We will go back today for pizza.

We last posted glowing reviews of Toscana several years ago, and are absolutely delighted that Toscana still continues to deliver top quality, gourmet homemade Italian food at an exceptional value, and with always impeccable and gracious service. After having several expensive and unsatisfying meals recently (during the summer of 2019) in Antigua, it was like coming home to enjoy such genuinely good food at Toscana. The restaurant owner, Claudio, and his maitre'de Ingrid continue to deliver a superb experience. If you are considering having an Italian meal in Antigua, there is nothing in Antigua that beats Toscana - it is on par with the finest Italian restaurants anywhere, globally. Run, don't walk, to come here!
