Il Tano

Punta del Diablo


Punta del Diablo's classiest restaurant is this cozy house with a wraparound porch, overlooking a pretty garden whose veggies and herbs complement the Italian-influenced menu of pasta, meat and seafood. Specialties include homemade shrimp-and-zucchini ravioli, ham-and-cheese agnolotti with a creamy wild-mushroom sauce, and pork shoulder with a sweet-and-sour sauce featuring fruit from local butiá palms.
