Osteria Giorgetta — Restaurant in Higüey

We stayed at Fishing Lodge in Cap Cana. The resort food was quite expensive, this restaurant was not. Especially considering it's the most authentic Italian food you will find. We ate here for five out of seven nights of our stay. Every night, the service made us feel like royalty. The food here is made with love and passion. As Canadian's, we weren't able to tip as well as other tourists could be able to. We made sure to treat them extra special on our last night. If you want the best food in Punta Cana, check Google reviews and venture out of the resort. There were many great places to eat. Luckily, the best one happened to be just on the other side of the Cap Cana gates. Close enough to ride over in...

The service pleasantly surprised me with its swiftness, but unfortunately, the culinary experience fell short. The pasta lacked seasoning and quality, hindering the integration of the sauce. The calamari were hard and had an unseasoned coating, resulting in an unpleasant taste. The burrata and honey pizza turned out to be a basic margarita with small melted toppings, missing the promised burrata. I’ve dined in, taken out and gotten delivery. Despite giving the restaurant multiple chances, I'm puzzled by its high rating, especially considering the exceptional culinary scene...

Ventured off property from the St Regis to this gem. The food alone was 5 stars but we were also met with great speedy service, and very fare prices - highly recommend grabbing an uber and coming here for some amazing Italian food.

My only regret is not coming here sooner in our stay or the fact that we don’t have this place in Florida. I will be reminiscing about the amazing jalapeño...
