Frommer's Review

The island's most elaborate Italian restaurant gracefully handles a cosmopolitan, international crowd. It was established by a seasoned Italian restaurateur, Raymon Losito, whose career included a 25-year stint at a French restaurant in Washington, D.C., where he befriended the Redskins' ex-owner, the late Jack Kent Cooke. He exported his fanaticism to St Martin: One wall is devoted to the "home of a Redskins fan" (caps, pennants, "bears," reserved parking sign). It's a great watering hole, outfitted in the colors of the Italian flag, and drawing a fervent crowd of fans for U.S. football games; Raymon hosts splashy parties during the playoff season. Meals are served on a large, rambling wooden veranda that the owners bravely refurbish after hurricanes. Specialties include fresh steamed mussels, a classic minestrone, homemade veal ravioli, linguine with clams, and shrimp fra diavolo. The desserts are superb.

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
