We were so looking forward to dining at Soda Mediterranea. We were staying in Coco and did our research in advance as to where to visit. The reviews were outstanding, so figured we were in for a treat. It was anything but! Guess it would have been appreciated if someone told us that it takes 2 hours to receive your... More

There are so many things to like about this restaurant. Alfresco dining is always nice even if the temperature was not that 'fresh'. The ambiance is really charming. The service we received was outstanding, including the complimentary bread salad and after dinner drinks. The food was as good as I've eaten anywhere with an excellent selection of the freshest fish... More

This place has pretty good food, especially the homemade pasta. Freebies were nice, like shots and homemade fruit juice. Very nice owner and waiter.

Every time I go to Soda Mediterranea I am consistently amazed by the dining experience. The seafood is the freshest in town. The outdoor patio seating with the hand painted wooden chairs and tables creates a great ambience for dinner. Finally, the food speaks for itself! Alessandro, the chef, is a creative genius when it comes to combining flavors. Sometimes... More

Soda Mediterranea is far and away my favorite restaurant in El Coco. The ambience is lovely and the food is absolutely delicious. Alessandro (the chef) consistently has the freshest seafood in town. The menu varies on a regular basis, but never disappoints! Make sure to try the fish carpaccio.. it may be the best I've ever had.

Cant miss going to Soda Mediterranea while in Playas del Coco. The fish and sea food in particular are outstanding, one of a kind. This quaint little restaurant also has great atmosphere and lots of personality. If anything negative must be said, maybe seating is a bit uncomfortable and can wait some time when busy... Other than that a definite... More

The owner welcomes you but they don´t have a printed menu, we ordered 2 vegetarian pastas, 1 ceviche and 1 special catch of the day or something like that. The pasta were average in flavor,... More

being italian, i sit for a cup of wine at 6 o' clock with Alessandro and the aperitivo became a plate of fine tasty fish carpaccio. When the fisherman arrived with fresh tuna, Alessandro choose and bought the best pieces and asked to taste it, and a plate of really fresh tasty tuna arrived as second plate. Later on, in... More
