Try the Italian restaurant around the corner from Western Union in Samana. Going away from the malecon, pass Western Union on your left, and take the next right, and the place is on the right with potted palms out front. Excellent pizza and other dishes. The restaurant is behind the house, there is a sign in front on the street and the owner is Italian. During mango season, be ready for some shotgun size blasts coming off the tin roof overhead!
