El Novillo Alegre is a classical Argentinian grill that offers perfect and tender meat, Argentinian style. The filet mignon is especially tasty and very tender. Plates come with a choice of side dishes that are always abundant. I recommend to avoid ordering appetisers if you will eat a large meat cut, this is just way too much. El Novillo Alegre has impeccable service and a large wine list.

¡Do a culinary trip through Italy in a rural late XIX century house! We are specialists in artisanal italian cuisine. We cook with classic and fresh ingredients that give unique flavors to our plates. Inside the restaurant, walls vibrate with art collections, which create different spaces that fill the house with color.

The 5 of us had a nice lunch with good wine and nice carpaccio (beef & salmon) as appetizers and the Margherita Pizzas were perfect - thin and tasty. We ask for the CAVA location in the restaurant and I highly recommend it for a group of up to 6 people in a nice and private space.
5. Doris Metropolitan

Reviewed By Rob C - Santa Ana, Costa Rica
Been there 4 times already because the food is always on point. I have had some of the best wine and dine experiences there except for the service.
As a person who lived in Paris, I must recognize that the service in Doris is on par to the one in Paris... which is a terrible thing to say. There is only one waiter who has been kind in that restaurant; the rest have been constant nay-sayers with condescending tones.
If the administration someday decides to reconsider its staff etiquette, I will be happy to increase the rating.
On the plus side the skirt steak, the New York Steak, the eggplant entrée, the carcioffi caldi, and the OMG the bread... best house bread. Seriously.

Went to this restaurant because the one across from it was closed. We Love Ethnic Food so this was a great find anyway. The food & service were terrific. The tzatziki was very runny & I'm used to the thick strained yogurt kind, so I would say they need help w/that. Everything else was great! The pita bread was exceptional. We would go back!
7. Da Marco Italian Restaurant

Fantastic food and nice atmosphere. A little hard to find but worth the effort!
Reviewed By Yoli C - Bogota, Colombia
What a joy is was to go for lunch or dinner to Da Marco´s Restaurant. The friendly atmosphere started with a lovely welcoming of the kind waiters guiding guests to the spotless tables. The menu has an excellent selection of delicious dishes prepared with great quality and good care, including warm homemade bread and pastas, steaks were particularly tender with exceptionally flavour as well as the fish and pastas. Marco the kind owner and cheff is always there to greet you ready to please you! ! His desserts and puddings are also so creative and tasty. We went to Da Marco at least six times and always very well looked after, professionally with superb quality. They made our visit remarkable and worthwhile. So onto the next time!

Restaurante y pescaderia premium, con especialidad de mariscos y pescados, apoyando la pesca responsable y artesanal
Reviewed By Jennifer R - London
Excellent fresh fish. Circa GBP 35 per head so good value for very good quality food and service. One of the few places in Santa Ana that is away from the main road and is worth going to if you're staying at one of the hotels in the area
9. Restaurante Pescatore
Overall Ratings

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. The restaurant is owned by Peruvian chef Regis Molina, Le Cordon Bleu graduate, with extensive experience in Costa Rica. Finally note the open kitchen, large windows and the ability to eat outdoors. Hope to see you soon !

Was excellent!
Simply delicious, expensive yes, but totally worth it.
The service was great, personalized and really professional.
I made the reservation saying it was for a birthday and they didn't make it just another one, they called us by name and offer a courtesy dessert for her.
Really happy!

Reviewed By AlbertoMiami_Florida - Miami, Florida
I had a very bad dinner experience at this location . I ordered a ribeye and it came cold, hard, too disgustingly full of hard fat , creamy spinach out of the freezer and service could actually improve a lot....you overpay for any dish here to get such an experience . AVOID, go to the Asian one, I had lunch there and rolls were pretty good
