Il Giardino

Puerto Jiménez


A sweet Italian restaurant with a romantic candlelit ambience. The rather long menu features pizza, pasta and other exquisite Italian dishes. Especially tantalizing are the house inventions such as Loreto pizza (with guacamole and mozzarella) and crab ravioli. Be forewarned that the Ranalli family subscribes to the 'slow food' movement: there's no rushing good cooking, especially when it's on Tico time.
