My partner and I lived in Costa Rica for a year and although we found many fantastic restaurants, L'Antica Roma was the one we always wanted to return to. It's not fine dining but just really tasty, comforting food served in a relaxed atmosphere. We always enjoyed sharing a gigante four cheese pizza called the 'Barcelona' drizzled with plenty of...

Stayed in a hotel across from the restaurant so I and my family and friends ate there several times for lunch and dinner. The food may be a little pricey, but the wait service is excellent, the food delicious. The pizza is as good as anything I have had anywhere else with a wood burning oven. The homemade pasta is...

I do not think of Italian when I am in Costa Rica, perhaps unfairly as this restaurant is a cut above anything I have found in Boise Idaho. Its also conveniently situated in Heredia town center. The Pizza is Italian style, thin crust and with a dough that is crisp and tasty. The pasta is served el dente, and the... More

I read through many of the reviews for L'Antica Roma and I have to wonder if some of those who left negative reviews could be happy with ANY restaurant in Heredia! Three friends and I asked around town for a nice restaurant with good food and a place where we would not have to yell at each other above the... More

bring a book. you'll need it in this place, as it takes ages to get your meal, and the waiters are arrogant and not friendly at all. the pizzas are very good and the pasta does its job. very expensive for what you get.

I have been visiting this restaurant for the past 7 years and it´s one of my favorite italian restaurants. I really like their pasta dishes, pizzas, calzones and focaccias. However, I have to agree with several reviewers regarding their declining service. The waiters are not as polite as they used to be 6 years ago and they are not as... More

I have been in this restaurant at least 25 times per year for the past two years for Wednesday night Pizza. My first trip to the restaurant was for pasta but soon found out that their pizza was a much better choice. In the past several months the service staff has been mostly replaced and the wait staff stand in... More

this is the best choice for italian food here. The prices are down to earth, service is good and the food too. Pizza lovers will enjoy them since they use a brick oven and have a wide selection, you can opt for ½ & ½ if you feel like. So far no complaints with any pasta I had there and... More

This place is awful. My friends and I had a very disrespectful service for the waiters. They were very rude....they did not pay attention to our orders properly and they made us wait FOREVER for our dinner. In addition, the food is not that good and the prices are overrated in my opinion. Please, don't spend your colones/dollars in this... More
