Ristorante El Sueño

Punta Cana & the Southeast


Italian owners and their Azurri cohorts sit around this casual open-air eatery Godfather-style, giving it a nod of authenticity it doesn’t need – the real-deal pizzas do the job on their own. The lobster fettuccine also stands out, a favorite of local expats, as does the all'amatriciana, as does anything alla criolla, as does the whole menu.
