We arrived in Alajuela late evening and many places were closed. It was actually the owner of one of our favourite restaurants who recommended and pointed us to Parker's Pizza.The pizza was thin crust - fresh and very tasty. They were accomodating. My husband is vegetarian and I am not. We asked them to make the pizza we were sharing about 2/3 veggie and 1/3 with meat and they did.As well as pizza they have some pasta dishes on the menu.The two young owners, Melissa and Ramses are very friendly and welcoming.All in all a good meal and good overall experience.

We came here on the recommendation of another guest at our hotel. He was raving about the pizza here and he was right. The crust was so delicious. We had the special white pizza, and the combination of cheese and herbs was done perfectly. I would eat here again. Highly recommend.

Lo Spago was a good authentic Italian Restaurant and since that is my favourite it was no surprise I would be a little more critical of the food, the wine and the desserts. We were greeted by friendly staff, sat immediately and able to order some good Chianti. The pasta choice were plentiful and the wait staff were more than willing to explain whatever you needed them to. We got our meals and were feeling pretty good about our choices when I saw something that made me so jealous. The people at the next table had order pasta in a cheese cream sauce. No big deal right? Wrong, the staff had brought over a side table upon which sat a full round of Parmigiano cheese, and in one hand he held a torch. He was mixing something up (I assume some cream), and scraping cheese off as he melted it from the middle of what can only be called a giant cheese bowl. Yes, I said it, he was mixing the sauce up right in the Parmigiano cheese itself. Then he tosses in the pasta and mixes it around as well. He swirls and mixes and then finally pulls it out and plates it. My mouth is watering just thinking of it, still do not know what it was called but I want to try it. Okay, so for dessert, they did not have my favourite Bachio Negro, but they did have Tartufo which was almost as good and excellent as far as desserts go. I would highly recommend this restaurant for the Italian food, the atmosphere and the desserts.

This place has a nice open atmosphere. The food was good and the portions were much bigger than I expected. I ordered a full salad and sandwich but really should have gone with the half-portion combo. The service was friendly, I'd definitely eat here again.

The best tasting pizza I've ever had! There were so many things on the menu that looked appetizing. I chose the Supreme pizza and I loved it, enjoyed ever bite. After our lunch, it was a memorable moment with the iguanas. They hung out with us as if they were our pets.

We tried Penne Carbonara, Bolognese Spaghetti, Shrimp pizza, and Salami Pizza. The pasta was al dente, and the sauce was just great, not too salty, nor greasy. On the other hand, the serving size is for those who eat average amount, but for me I could have eaten a little bit more. The pizza dough was the best I have ever tasted in Costa Rica. The pizza tomato sauce was a little bit salty. I guess it could be a little less salty. Since they cook every dish on the spot, they take quite a long time, more than average. But I guess this guarantees you more freshly cooked meals. The garlic bread is also delicious. And the atmosphere is very pleasant, in an open area that is not that noisy. Finally, the price is like average but it is not on the cheap side.

Great place for pizza (thinner crust) and homemade pastas. Local beers and a decent wine list available. We had a pizza to share to start and then individual pasta dishes. We had a Spanish speaker in our party which helped, otherwise we would have just muddled through ordering (menus have English). Food was excellent and we had a great time. Place did get a bit loud and the folks in the Mexican restaurant next store were entertained by a loud mariachi band but the good food and company made it all tolerable. I hope to be back on my next trip to San Jose.
