Playa Hermosa Guanacaste Spanish

About

An Italian-Mediterranean seafood restaurant in a quieter corner of Playas del Coco, run by owner Alessandro. The grilled octopus is the dish people rank above everything, with octopus carpaccio and risotto, tuna tartare, and the day's catch grilled cart-side close behind. Nice touches — crème brûlée torched at the table, complimentary liqueur — round it out. It's pricey, but diners say the quality and service justify it (skip the deep-fried mixed seafood grill).

Wife and I had an amazing dinner last night. I had a spaghetti carbonara and she had a grilled vegetable and seafood platter which we shared. Started with delicious oysters. The seafood was fresh and delicious. With wine the bill was just over $100 USD which was very reasonable. Complimentary liqueur topped off a great culinary experience. Service fantastic and ambiance very nice. Highly recommend!

Everything was so good until we got our main course...mixed seafood grill. The seafood was unidentifiable and deep fried with French fries. Please take it off the menu. Everyone else's food did look good.

Absolutely an over rated restaurant The servers were so unfriendly & unhelpful Prices for the food received was quite laughable Appreciated & enjoyed the passion fruit shots that were given complimentary Will not be returning as there are too many local restaurants serving much tastier, simple food for way less Colons!
