Actually this place is just across the street and was open until 9:00, perfect timing Fromm return from a night walk. The restaurant is run by a husband and wife team with a very unassuming, calm atmosphere. The restaurant call itself Italian but the is way more options besides pasta. I had the sea bass and their combinations of food... More

Being vegetarians we always like to share great places we find. Restaurant De Lucia was recommended by some friends who enjoyed their vegetarian lasagna. We were not let down - it was great. And very filling. Each meal is served with corn tortillas with four toppings. A great meal for a reasonable price. I would highly recommend this restaurant. Good... More

We ate here a couple of times in the evening as it was directly opposite our hotel Monteverde Country Lodge. On each occasion the food was good and the service by Alexandro the only waiter was excellent. It is a very quiet restaurant partially due to its location but we would definitely chose to eat here should we ever return.

We were staying at the Monteverde Country Lodge just across the dirt road and had just arrived that noon. We were hungry and and a bit stressed from the drive on a first full day in CR. We decided to try De Lucia that touts "best burger" on a big sign outside. The burger was excellent. My husband ordered the... More

Truly wonderful dining experience! They claim the "best hamburger in Monteverde" - and I wouldn't dispute it. Professional and efficient service - very fair prices.

Oh dear ... I suspect the chef was over stretched cooking for 57 + people for lunch - all arriving together. Starter was excellent with 4 types of dips with a bread and we'd all preordered our main course but one hour in people are still only just receiving their main course. Chilean influence in the paintings and nice interior... More

We ate here twice. The sign said "best hamburgers in town" and they were right. In the middle of our trip felt like a burger. We went back for dinner another day and our entrees were okay. There was a tour bus load of people there that may have interfered with the quality but overall it is a very pleasant... More

Go for the steaks and stay for the family. Don Pepe will become your newest family member or best friend and that is not a bad thing. This is a family run restaurant and they are very hands-on and super friendly. From appetizers to especially the steaks, everything is plentiful and good. My daughter is still raving about the Chicken... More
