3 Scalini Restaurant opened in March, 2010, giving to the public a new choice for those who like the Italian spoon in a smoke-free environment.

The restaurant comes from the idea of Italian chef Antonio D ‘Alaimo, who has 25 years of living in Costa Rica and is well recognized in the national gastronomic field for his involvement in other establishments as Il Ponte Vecchio and Il Ritorno.

3 Scalini Restaurant highlights the Mediterranean influence as the main ingredient, which separates it from other Italian restaurants, and using a trend that requires all ingredients to be fresh, such as fish, it can’t be frozen, said D ‘Alaimo.

“I come from southern Italy, one of the poorest areas, so, there we are accustomed to eat more natural, with fresh products, that’s what I want to bring here”, said D ‘Alaimo.

3 Scalini Restaurant argues that Italy is much more than just pasta and pizza. That is why in their menu, entries are a highlight with a wide range of antipasti and salads. Similarly, among the main courses you can find from a Marsala Veal, to a traditional Carbonara Spaghetti, all these without leaving aside the wide range of desserts offered as the classic Tiramisu or a Nougat Mousse with chocolate sauce.

And of course wines can’t be left out,  with quite comfortable prices depending on brand and quality.

A dining experience at each visit, simply the best Italian cuisine in the country!

The restaurant takes reservations, accepts all major credit cards and has a large parking lot.

Schedule:

From Monday to Saturdays from 12 p.m. to 2:30 pm and from 6 p.m. to 10:30 p.m.

Lola’s Bar and Restaurant, located on the paradise Avellanas beach, in Guanacaste, is a meeting point with many attractive, and one of the nicest beach lounges in Costa Rica. The bar was named after the capricious diva of Avellanas: Lola, the huge mischievous pig who daily bathe in the surf of Avellanas.

Lola’s Bar and Restaurant is an institution in the region! An outstanding place to see some iguanas and birds, which offers stylish and comfortable beach furniture under palm tree shade with a very satisfying cuisine, is indeed a perfect starting point for surfing, which is very good at this beach (the waves reach a height of 18ft), for sunbathing and swimming or just to relax watching the comings and goings waves and visitors.

Everything in Lola’s Bar and Restaurant is perfect. There’s just nothing like walking out of the ocean after a nice swim and paying for your ice cold beer or drink with a few dollars. If you didn’t experience it, you would think it couldn’t exist a place like this. Come in the mid-afternoon, order some delicious food and drinks (the fish is so fresh and their pizza is famous!!!) and stay for the gorgeous and romantic sunset, is just like being in heaven.

The ‘laid back’ atmosphere at this fantastic beach bar should not overshadowed the great service or delicious menu. The open air kitchen delivers delightful aromas across the whole restaurant, while the staff approach ensures reasonably prompt delivery. Visitors came and stayed for hours, sitting on the beach, drinking, reading or eating.

Lola’s Bar and Restaurant also offers massage and yoga, besides a seaside parking area.

Really amazing. Lola’s Bar and Restaurant is on the list of places to go. If you are in the area, do not miss this place, you will not be disappointed.
