Vivace — Restaurant in Jacó

One of the most disturbing and disgusting experiences of my life. I was served balsamic with bread, ate it, and only afterward realized it was FULL of live worms. Every bottle had the same crusty dried balsamic on top, meaning they just keep refilling without cleaning so if one was infested, probably all were, kept passing them over to new clients..

I’m not the kind of person who writes bad reviews, and I really didn’t want to. I even stayed calm at the restaurant to not disturb other clients and messaged them privately afterward. But their response? Basically, “we removed some wine glasses from your bill so you should be fine after eating worms.” Kind of message. That showed me exactly how much they care about their clientele.

That’s why I think it’s important to share this experience so people are careful when they eat there. This isn’t just disturbing and disgusting, it’s a real food...

A huge let down because the chef was italian but they need to measure the salt and have better meal preparation. The restaurant has...

The food was phenomenal, we have an Italian friend who's job is to make original Italian food and he makes us amazing Italian food and this food is at the same level of goodness. The reviews do not do justice to this restaurant 😡, if you come to Jaco come here please 👏 and help support this...
