Boquete
This Italian restaurant and pizzeria has riverstone walls and just a few tables along one of Boquete's hillside roads. Sicilian Giovanni cooks while his Panamanian wife, Doris, serves. A bottle of wine and pizza or calzone make the perfect leisurely lunch, but don't come in a rush: service can be slow.
Local buses go past, or follow signs for Boquete Garden Inn; it's just above it.
