Restaurant Al Forno Alegna Pizzeria

Reviewed By katbonfiglio

We arrived by water taxi to Al Forno. My goodness the Panamanian dishes were exquisite. Meals for the evening were offered on a chalkboard which attests to its very fresh and fine quality meals. Family friendly and great for large groups. I could easily see a reunion venue here. Thank you for the memeories!

La Pizzaria at Island Plantation

Our pizzas are made in the traditional "Neapolitan" style of thin crust, fresh homemade tomato sauce, real mozzarella cheese, and fresh ingredients cooked in a special, 3000 pound, wood burning oven that cooks your pizza at 900+ degrees! Our pizzas are th

The food and service were awesome. We ate there multiple times during our stay at Turtle Beach House. Our waiter was Stan and he did an excellent job! The pizza is awesome as well as the service. Prices are slightly above average but worth it( same as we would pay at home for lower quality).Dear Khartman2016,Sunny hellos from Island Plantation out here at Bluff Beach!It was so nice of you to take the time and share your positive experiences of our restaurant, food and our awesome team member, Stan! Stan is still in training but we see great promise in him as part of our IP family and I will certainly pass on your kind words to him.I am also very happy you enjoyed our food! Yes, I realize our prices are a bit above average than back home (but quite frankly, not any higher than the rest of Bocas...) but this is because most of our food items are brought from either Panamá City or the mainland via ferry and then must be driven out here to the jungle. Also, we take our pizza VERY seriously, hence the special milled flour and tomatoes are actually imported from Italy, as we just cannot get these fundamental ingredients here in Panama. These items are then driven from Panamá City, across the water via ferry and finally to us... While we feel anyone can buy flour, tomatoes and cheese from the store and call themselves a “ Pizza Restaurant”, we at Island Plantation insist on the “real deal” and we (humbly) believe our pizza (and home made pasta) reflects that. Thank you so very much for sharing your positive dining experiences with everyone here on Trip Advisor and I hope you return to our jungle paradise soon!Sincerely,Christopher-OwnerIsland Plantation

Chez Ugo

Reviewed By RjR1533

We eat Italian food literally all over the world and this is one of the best we have ever been at. The food was prepared with great care from wonderful recipes. Ugo is from Italy and knows his stuff. His attention to detail and warm friendly greeting makes his customers feel at home. The linguine with chicken and mushroom sauce is fantastic. The restaurant is open for breakfast and dinner nightly. You won’t be disappointed.

I literally save all of my money just to travel the world and eat good food and this is by far the best Italian I have eaten since traveling Central America. The food is INCREDIBLE and the owners chiara & Franco are so lovely and welcoming. If you love authentic Italian food (just like me) then you’ll absolutely love it. P.S. don’t leave without trying her Panna Cotta.Thank you for such a nice dinner. Thank you so much for the beautiful words, make us happy and proud of our work. It was a pleasure to have you as our guests.

Paki Point

Reviewed By BusinessTraveler104

One of the only true beach front spots where you can lay on a day bed and spend the whole day beach front.Full menu of food and drinks, so you can lay in the sun all day and not go hungry (or thirsty!). I probably wouldn’t trek from town just to have lunch out here but make an afternoon out of it to really enjoy it Food is good (not great - but good). Service is excellent. Ambiance is great. If you’re surfing at Paunch (or your partner is...) then this is a great spot to stop for after surf food and drinks.

Wood fired pizza, vegan ‘ricotta’ available. Hummus for starter. Gelato for desert. Everything made entirely in house using fresh ingredients.

Walked to here from our hotel. Tiny little place only open 4 days a week I believe. Pretty much serving from a shed in their garden. Pizzas were tasty enough but was a really quaint and different setting to most restaurants we ate at. Far superior to our experience at skullys across the road.
