Stop by The Dome while waiting for your car to be serviced across the street, or to calm your nerves before your dentist appointment, or just because Michael and his team are really nice people who serve good food at a reasonable price. Consistently good and a nice variety of breakfast, lunch, and dinner items for all nationalities!
2. Pizzeria La Fogata

Wanted to grab dinner at a local spot. It was relaxed with a more local feel and less touristy. The waiter spoke little English which was fine. It gave me a chance to practice what little Spanish I had. The salads are big. The pizza was just okay. The toppings good, but the crust lacked taste and the texture was too dense, more like a Trader Joe's thin crust that lacked yeast. Thin crust should be a little chewy with a softer texture, not dense like a cracker. However, the waitress was pleasant.

sorry i was very disapointed, i red on tripadvisor it was the number 2 restaurant in Uvita with many excellent comments but for me the paella was not good no taste like boiled rice with some boiled meat and a very little seafoods, it seemed it was not the real chief in the kitchen, it seemed it was another chief in the kitchen??? it is not possible to have a so bad paella when you read so good comments on tripadvisor, there was a problem in the kitchen ??? the paella was not a paella, just boiled rice without any taste, savorless, without spices, pity, disapointed, before paella we had excellent spicy mussels and a very bad gaspacho ( not of the day ??? limit to be sick !!! ), so when i come back home, i question me if i came in the restaurant i red on tripadvisor ??? i think there is a oroblem in the kitchen, i think sometimes it is another bad cookers people in the kitchen, the quality is not good every day, there are some comments medium and bad in tripadvisor, it was a bad day for me... sorry to write this because the service was very good and the women was very friendly, in conclusion the quality is not every day, so for a bad day it is very very expensive, bad quality and very expensive, quailty must be all day...

My wife and I both ordered what we expected to be familiar Italian pasta dishes (Carbonara and Putanesca) but both were unique preparations. We started with a complimentary gazpacho with croutons - a delightful and delicious surprise. Our pasta mains were very good but might not be to everyone's taste. After the meal, the 2 young chefs came out to chat, ask about our reaction, and to deliver a complimentary dessert sampler of fruit, white chocolate and s mouse. A very nice touch.

Reviewed By Henri C - Los Angeles, California
We had lunch at Sibu, followed by breakfast the next morning as we really enjoyed our time there. While being a casual restaurant, it is more upscale than the traditional local fare with a matching price increase ($25 lunch pp). Service is friendly and good....MoreThank you very much for such a beautiful comment, it motivates us to keep going forward and make more professional times and of course taking care of our clients. Honestly thank you and we look forward to your visit soon. thanks, manager Rigoberto.
