This is a favorite for anyone craving good pizza. We went there tonight for Shane’s birthday and we were not disappointed! We had the Tica Pizza, Focaccia garlic bread and the Greek Salad. All were very good. The pizzas are 13″ and have a thin, crispy crust. One pizza will feed two people, especially if you get a salad or garlic bread to go with.
The service was also really great. It’s rare to have a server come back shortly after your food arrives to ask if “todos esta bien?” but ours did several times. I also felt she knew some English but sensed we wanted to speak Spanish so continued to speak it with us throughout our dining experience.
Price wise it was pretty reasonable. The pizzas were between 5,500 and 6,300 colones each and the Greek salad – their most expensive – was 4,500. Our total bill came to about 23,000 colones for 4 people and we took some pizza home.
On the south edge of Brasilito, it’s located dangerously close to where we live in Reserva Conchal. While we didn’t have the pasta, TripAdvisor has a lot of reviews for Il Forno (even though everyone insists on calling it El Forno) giving it high marks. We will be back here for sure!
