Founded in the 1530s, Ecuador's largest city and main port is the top access point for Galapagos cruises and home to a bustling import-export business. Tourism is on the rise as well, thanks to a new international airport and urban renewal projects along the River Guayas promenade and in the historic neighborhood of Las Peñas. The 465-step climb to the top of Santa Ana Hill provides sweeping views and a chance to stand on the site of the city's birthplace.

Benvenuti da Mauro

Reviewed By Swisstravelerms

During our trip to Ecuador, we visited in Guayaquil this italian Restaurant. Nice choice of excellent Pizza (you can choose the ingredients). We liked also the pulpo and jaiba (blue crab) salad. Spagehtti "al cartoch"o is a very nice preparation with ecuadorian shrimps, garlic, fennel and light tomato Sauce, served in a alu paper, that keeps heat and taste in the best way. Wine choice is small. Service very friendly. Mauro, the owner is present in the Restaurant. we recommend Benvenuti da Mauro.

I didn’t travel to Ecuador with expectations of finding one of the best Italian restaurants I’ve ever been in but that’s what happened. The food is superb, the pasta is cooked to order and the seafood is fresh & tasty. Geanina creates a wonderful ambiance that makes dining a pleasure. This is a restaurant worth going out of your way for.Thank you so much for the review. Att. Geanina

Il Buco trattoria y pizzeria

Reviewed By rrivadeneira

this review is about the restaurant's other location, situated in los ceibos, north of guayaquil. 5 years ago i visited this restaurant's original location in samborondon, but decided never to go back because of what i experienced. after all this time i went back, do to some recommendations and because it is near my house. the minute they served some over toasted garlic bread, i regretted my decision. the place is very cozy and has a good decoration if you don't see the tables and chairs, typical patio furniture used indoors. the staff was cordial and very prepared. the food... now that's something else. people keep talking about the pizza. i love pizza and in my experience it is very hard to screw up a pizza. even $1 slices of pizza are better than anything i tasted here. the vegetarian pizza was simply tasteless. it had tomato sauce, cheese, canned mushrooms, red and green pepper, tomatoes and onions. the vegetables were visibly undercooked, unsalted, and just put in there for the sake of it. it was actually cold and mushy. i kept throwing salt, peppers and everything i could find to give it a little bit of a taste. the rest of the menu has your typical italian dishes at a $15 price range. the medium pizza was around $25, but you could eat for less than that if you don't order drinks and just eat a margherita pizza.

La Casa di Carlo

Reviewed By Veter

Came with great expectations from the reviews, but was quite disappointed. The Cesar salad was soggy and soaked in heavy sauce. The risotto with scallops was also very heavy and the scallops chewy. The whole meal gave me upset stomach. The decor is nice, though. And the waiter was courteous, though they could have offered a replacement when they saw me not eating my food.Dear traveler i am so very sorry to read your review, If you are still in Guayaquil we would love to make up for this bad experience. Please give us a phone number or email were we can contact you to give you a $50.00 gift card. Thanks for leting us know. Carla Colombara Restaurant owner

Tratoria Piccolo Mondo

Reviewed By Christian S

This is the formerly known “Tratoria da Enrico” which a couple of decades ago was one of the top restaurants in Guayaquil. While their infrastructure and menu remain basically the same, it has not aged well.Menu is extensive and wine list is acceptable, however certain dishes are not quite up to the standard a business of this category should present to their customers.Personally I stick to a “mixto di mare” appetizers and a seafood pasta which I believe are the restaurants still signature dishes.If you want to have lunch in Urdesa give this place a try

Pizza Alta

Reviewed By AdventurePhiles

The pizza here is delicious! It is deep dish style, hand-made with tasty ingredients and spices. The lovely couple who own the place are super nice, interesting to talk with and definitely want to ensure that you are satisfied with the pizza. The pizza is by the slice, really a quarter of a whole pizza. This way one can sample several kinds. We had three different varieties. We are vegetarian so had the pesto, olive and three cheese with tomatoes. Each was delightful.
