By complete accident, I found a very, very nice Italian restaurant on Winston Churchill a few weeks back. I am terrible with addresses! Once I know where a place is, I just know where it is. I don't worry about the address. This restaurant is located in the same small mall as Diva's women's clothing. The name of the mall is Las Americans. It is just north of the Acropolis Mall and on the same side of the street. What is worst is, I can't remember the name of the restaurant!!!!
I met the owner. He lived in New York for a long time. He set up his restaurant based on the Italian bistros located there. The food is excellent! It is more traditional Italian food as it is based on more seafood. The anti-pasta was to die for and the main courses were a treat. The atmosphere is very cozy and the decor very nice and modern. The service was the best I have ever experienced in the DR anywhere. Our two waiters could not do enough for us. They have wifi in the restaurant. As my wife had a new laptop with her, she and I played on the internet for one hour before ordering. No pressure from the staff what so ever. In fact, they rearranged a couple of tables to accommodate her battery charger. There were members of the Dominican congress eating there the night we were there.
But this place is not cheap, at least not by Dominican standards. For two of us, with no alcohol, it was a little over $100.00 USD. But the price to me was not really expensive either when you consider the service and the great food. It was a nice change and well worth the money.
Please! If anyone else knows the name of this restaurant, please post it.
