I was hesitant to go to an Italian restaurant while in Costa Rica but I am so glad we did. Everything from the service to dinner to drinks was fantastic. Would highly recommend!

Words can’t express how incredible this place is. We spent almost 2 weeks in Manual Antonio and we had dinner here 4 times. The food was absolutely amazing! Each time I had pizza and it’s hands down the best pizza in the city. My wife...who has a gluten allergy also had options which was a huge win and rare for an Italian restaurant and she says it was the best pasta she has ever had! My 2 year old who is the worlds pickiest eater would literally jump out of his seat every time his dinner was served - that alone is an award itself! What made this place extra special for us was the staff. Everyone was so incredible to me and my family every time we came in. I have to give an extra special shout out to our friend Elliot. He served us every night and words can’t explain how incredible he was. It’s like we were eating at his own home and he wanted to make sure every thing was perfect for us. My kid absolutely loved him and jumped at the opportunity to give him high fives every chance he got. He made sure my wife’s gluten allergy was always on top of mind and always made sure she was taken care of and we loved all the conversations we had during our time. Thank you Elliot and thank you for everyone at Victorias for making so many special memories that we will never forget. Pura Vida and we hope to be back again soon.More

Best meal of our week! My husband would have returned for another meal if we had gone earlier in the week. The fresh tuna was excellent, the ambiance and service were perfect! One of the highlights of our trip.

We always visit Victoria’s Gourmet Italian restaurant during our time in Manuel Antonio.The food is fabulous especially the pepperoni pizza. The atmosphere is perfect. Some days they have live music. The wait staff, especially Elioth are so friendly, helpful and a pleasure to be around....We ate there several times because we enjoyed the food and talking with Elioth. We want to thank him and the entire staff for my special birthday dinner.More

It was our last night in CR before we should leave to the Netherlands. So we wNted a spevial restaurant with good ambiance and good food. Without reservation wr arrived at Victoria's Gourmet in Quepos. Un fortunately it was fully booked. There was no possibility....At the moment we left the restaurant, sitting in the car, Elliot came to us. He appologized and told us he felt bad and should arrange something for us. We got one of the best tables at the garden. enjoyed our fine food and liot makes during the eveni g the difference. This fine man was absolutly a proffesional and a warm person. Thanks Elliot!! All the best and keep an eye on your father! Greetz. Ton and Karin, the Netherlands.More

We ate at victoria We ate at Victoria the 2nd night That was the Italian I just got a Caesar salad k Ken got meatballs and spaghetti We got the banana flambe and it was amazing not too heavy on the room . It was...an open air place plenty cool enough Fans and it was breezy. Heard a monkey moving around even though it was dark I enjoyed that. The 1st and the 3rd night we went to Amelos We both got seafood And liked it the 1st time I got something a bit spicy for my taste but Ken liked it. We did get dessert both nights to share 1st night the Passion pie which was super sweet 2nd night of peanut butter pie and it was very rich and sweet also. The service was excellent. We had lunch at the cafe just up the hill from us very close to our Bungalow. They have an amazing fish sandwich with pickled onions we both love it. Their Pina colada are yummy.More

I’m from and Italian family and an Italian food aficionado and this is the best Italian food I’ve found after traveling to various parts of Costa Rica more than a dozen times. The bartender Jasmine is also great! Friendly, remembers what you ordered months ago...on last trip and makes great drinks. You won’t be disappointed!!More

We had a seared tuna appetizer, seafood pasta and chicken franchese. All very good. Excellent bottle of Chilean carmenere recommended by our server Elliott, who also offered to drink the bottle himself if we didn’t like it. 🤣 Elliott helped us arrange our return car,...which was great since I didn’t know how to make a local call on my cell. The setting of Victoria’s is very nice. Open air, of course, with high ceilings and Italian theme decor. Solo guitar music the Friday night we were there. Giutarist played and sang Radiohead’s “Creep” with a laid-back reggae feel. Set list was mix of covers and Costa Rican music which was new to us and very enjoyable.More

What a lovely evening in this Italian restaurant. The food was first class. Our party had pasta and fish dishes and all were perfectly cooked and tasty. The (English speaking) staff were attentive and friendly and added to our enjoyment. We’re only in Manuel Antonio...for five days but we will be going again!More

We didn't have high expectations for Italian food in the tropics, but Victoria's was excellent! The pasta and seafood dishes were delicious, and the service was wonderful. We highly recommend for a family meal.

Absolutely wonderful. We came here on our first night arriving in Costa Rica after such a long day of travel - my whole group agreed this was one of our favorite moments of our trip. Our server Elliot was beyond amazing. So friendly, funny, informative..the...list goes on! We all loved the food as well..we got the bruschetta, caprese, a couple different pastas, cheesecake, and of course some wine to go with! Such a positive and great experience to kick off our Costa Rica trip. Pura Vida!More
