Via Dell’Amore — Restaurant in Jacó

Be extra cautious when you order wine at this restaurant. They have a per glass menu, which names the wines per category. If you want a whole bottle, however, they will just bring you a bottle without telling you that the price changes drastically. I asked the waitress for a bottle of the Chardonnay on the menu, and she answered "Cabernet", and I pointed on the menu to the Chardonnay, and she said yes, okay. The price per glass 3,000 on the menu. There are no per bottle pricrs on the menu, and there are no actual wines per namr. The charge per bottle was 50,000! How they could justify such a hike in price, to us, was beyond our comprehension. When we asked the manager to show us the price per bottle, she had nothing to show us, told us we were impolite, called the police and told us we had no manners. She told us the police was showing up in 15 minutes and we should have asked the price per bottle. We asked her again to show us a wine list, and we were once again told we had no manners. So, long story short, demand to see or be told the price of the bottle. And if anyone can help us understand how you can jump a price of 3,000 per glass (at 5 glasses per bottle) to 50,000 per bottle... Even at 6 glasses per bottle, how do you make it to 50,000? To be told that I am impolite and lacking in manners for questioning this highway robbery was insulting. It felt like we were just expected to pay the money and shut up. This attitude towards tourists that we are just there to have the money squeezed out of us is very frustrating. This is why I would not recommend this restaurant, just because of the very lack of manners of the manager, who thinks that the best way to resolve an issue is to threaten to...

I wish it was good. I wish it was good but it is not. Move on. Carbonara no peas. Chicken Alfredo has ham. It's not that it hasn't hit a high 4 but it is probably the worst representation of any food in the world. I would rather eat ramen noodles. It is that disappointing bro. It really honestly and truly is that blandly disappointing. I wish it was good. I wish it was good but it is not. Move on. Trust.

This is what it tastes like. If you ran over a family and everyone survived except for the youngest one. That is what you will feel when you put the Alfredo sauce in your mouth... Just sour. Not good at all. Very embarrassing that your finger ordered it. That's how dumb your life will be 9 years from now because you will never forget the lack of your ability to read this review and move on like I told you to. It is gross. I would pay ticos to stand in front and hold signs that say I'm embarrassed. And it still wouldn't cover the need for ramen noodles or street corn that needs eating. Move on....

My god, this was the some of the best, if not THE best Italian food I've ever had. And this is coming from a guy who's been to Italy. I ordered the 4 cheese ravioli in a white creamy sauce and it blew my mind. I also had the 4 cheese pizza and it almost ejected me out of my seat into outer space. The ravioli was sooo flavourful and I loved the strong, aged cheese in it. Super authentic. The pizza was excellent, cooked perfectly, nice and chewy and the fresh parm as well as the spicy oil was the perfect touch on top. My gf actually got annoyed with how much I kept complimenting everything the whole meal lol. I wouldn't shut up! I would happily sacrifice having diarrhea from cheese overload, just to eat it all over again....
