The Roof Restaurant — Restaurant in Tamarindo

2 stars: 1 for nice service and 1 for amazing sunset views.. however the most important criteria for me when I review a restaurant is the quality of the food and this pizza was unfortunately really bad (too sweet & too greesy). For someone who lives in Europe and has constant access to Italian restaurants in Italy or in Europe I can see how the quality of the ingredients used is not ideal..it could be that it is hard to get access to high quality mozzarella here or that the recipe used is American, not Italian, but unfortunately I was disappointed. We ordered one of the simplest pizzas ever Pizza Margarita (which should have tomato, dough and mozzarella, maybe basil) but still the taste was weird.

Later edit: I have both lived in Italy and the US and I'm pretty sure this tasted more like the pizzas I had in the US. I was even recently in Napoli in the best pizzeria in the world, L'antica pizzeria da michele (5euro a pizza), just to emphasize how much I appreciate a good pizza. But I do see how in this part of the world the influence is more American, given the proximity and will try local cuisines next time I eat out.

My recommendation is to go for a drink and experience the sunset, it was gorgeous! Save your $$$$ for dinner elsewhere though.

Our server was quite lovely and really nice to our kids. The sunset was amazing and everything started out great! Once the sun went down they projected wrestling which our kids enjoyed.

We had the seranno, Americana, 4 cheese and a bacon & cheese. they were ok but I wouldn’t order any of them again, nor would we eat dinner here again.

We had an unfortunate interaction with the supervisor Sylvie/Sylvia … she was flippant, rude and inconsiderate about giving us a glass of water to rinse soap off my hands (unbeknownst to us, the building had no running water that day). In short, she would not give us water but felt we should buy water to rinse our hands off because it was not her fault there was no water to the building… She was extremely argumentative and continued to engage negatively with my husband even as we were leaving the restaurant.

We did receive a discount on our bill (after my husband requested one) but were still left feeling disappointed as a result of this interaction and the...

I have never given a negative review until today. The service was absolutely terrible throughout our entire meal. Upon our arrival at the Roof Top we ordered a bucket of beer. There was only 20 people maximum at the time and 2 waitresses. The bucket of beer sat on the bar for 15 minutes and when it arrived on our table all the ice was melted and it was not the beer we ordered. We ordered our pizza and when it arrived it was just warm. When the pizza arrived at our table my wife ordered chilli peppers. We did not want to wait for the chilli peppers so we started eating. The chilli peppers did not arrive until we were done eating. When starting our second beer it was warm because there was no ice in the bucket. We ordered more ice and the waitress forgot to bring the ice. I flagged over a second waitress and ordered more ice again and by the time the ice arrived there was only one beer left in the bucket. Nice view but very...
