Wine & Grill by Bon Appetit — Restaurant in Monteverde

We just had a late lunch/early dinner here and it was nothing short of amazing.

We had the pleasure of being looked after by Gustavo and instantly realized why almost every review we read mentioned how well he looks after you while dining here. Excellent service, extremely polite and professional and has fantastic recommendations for food as well as wine pairings.

We started with two orders of bruschetta paired with a beautiful cab franc suggested by Gustavo. I had the tuna steak with pesto linguine and my wife had pizza napoli and we enjoyed a couple of beers in ice cold glasses. Everything was perfect!

The view from the patio overlooking the mountain ranges and the Gulf of Nicoya is gorgeous, especially if you can catch it for sunset.

No, this is not the cheapest place to eat in town but you will have a hard time finding cuisine of this quality elsewhere. It is more on the fine dining side but still has a casual and relaxing atmosphere. I believe it is great value for your money, the same meal back home would cost me slightly more and would not be as good.

I was reluctant to try an Italian restaurant in the mountains of Costa Rica but it was phenomenal and I was...

Upon reading the reviews and seeing photos of the food we decided to go here. There is a ton of restaurants in the area but the many good reviews brought us here. We were greeted by Gustavo as all the reviews mentioned. His service was amazing, it was definitely one of the best service at a restaurant we had ever had. Like other reviews said, we ended up back here for a 2nd time. The food was so good both times. Gustavo was very knowledgeable about the wines and recommended a red wine that paired amazingly with the bruschetta, which we got both times. We even took some to go and reheated it the next day on a hot pan and it was still amazing, I couldn't believe it. This was our first trip to Costa Rica and will definitely not be our last. If we are anywhere near this restaurant we will...

Great place, delicious food, adequate pricing. I’ve been here for lunch and it was a full success. The waiter was really caring, constantly filled up the water and was super helpful. As for the food: we definitely needed to wait a while for the pizza, but it was definitely worth it. Everything was freshly prepared, delicious and good-looking. While you can’t expect a real, authentic Italian Pizza, it was super close (only thing that wasn’t as usual: the dough had a dull and only partially crispy feeling to it, even though it was thin) The salad has been great on taste and looks as well. While the pricing was a bit higher as usual, it’s worth for what you get in return. Definitely...
