Frommer's Review

This is the most elaborate, best-managed, and most appealing Italian restaurant on either side of the island, coping gracefully with 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 developed a deep attachment to the Washington Redskins football team, whose banners and memorabilia decorate the walls of the restaurant's bar. 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.

Meals are served on a large, rambling wooden veranda that the owners bravely refurbish after hurricanes. It serves the best blackened tuna we've ever had, as well as grilled portobello mushrooms, mussels in white-wine sauce, filet of sea wolf cooked in parchment, filet of grouper encrusted with pistachio nuts, and a worthy version of lobster risotto. The pastas are superb. There's an especially worthwhile version of sea bass baked in rock salt, prepared for a minimum of two diners.

Note: This information was accurate when it was published, but can change without notice. Please be sure to confirm all rates and details directly with the companies in question before planning your trip.
