A
10-minute walk west of Sosúa's center,
this place serves the best Italian food in town,
attracting an animated clientele of Europeans
looking for a change from Creole and Dominican
cuisine. The setting, located in the hotel of
the same name, is a series of outdoor terraces,
some of them covered, most of them open air, that
cascade down to the edge of a sea cliff. There's
enough space to allow conversational privacy for
virtually any intimate dinner, and a pair of gazebo-style
bars that provide an ongoing supply of mimosas
and rum-based drinks. It's true we've had better
versions of every dish served here, but for the
area it is outstanding, especially the different
preparations of fresh fish caught off local waters,
which you can even order barbecued. Sometimes
the chef gets fancy, as when he flames the prawns
with cognac, or goes Continental with his filet
steak in green-peppercorn sauce. The cannelloni
Rossini (chopped meat and spinach) isn't bad at
all.

This
is the most visible, and most deeply entrenched, restaurant
in downtown Sosúa. Established by German entrepreneurs
in the 1970s, and set at the town's busiest intersection,
it incorporates the closest thing in town to a European
cafe on the pavement in front. It was designed of timbers
and palm thatch like an enormous Taíno teepee,
under which ceiling fans slowly spin, and wicker and
wooden furniture help create an ambience conducive to
the leisurely consumption of tropical drinks and well-prepared
food. Steaks and seafood are staples here. Depending
on the arrival of fresh supplies that day, the menu
might also include four different preparations of lobster;
several kinds of shrimp, including a version with spicy
tomato sauce and fresh vegetables; four different preparations
of sea bass, including a version flavored with Chablis;
orange-flavored chicken spiced with ginger; steak Diana,
flavored with bacon; and pork in mustard-flavored cream
sauce. An excellent version of paella contains chunks
of lobster and fresh shrimp.
