Go for happy hour, stay for dinner.
Description:
There are a few very good Italian restaurants in Puerto Viejo, and Amimodo is one of them, though its praise may often be overshadowed by the excellence of La Pecora Nera. Amimodo is on the beach side of the main road, on the quieter side of town, just south of Salsa Brava. It is a nondescript, single story cafe style place that is invitingly beachy and casual. The seating spills out from inside to out, and there is a little bar inside for pizza and cocktails. The food is standard Italian fare, made to order by the nonno and nonna in the kitchen. Some nights a live band plays spirited Caribbean music, but mostly it is a mellow vibe. Happy Hour is on most days, with inexpensive tapas and "drinks of the day" specials.
