(Calle Atravesada, frente Centro Comercial Granada; slices US$0.30)
There's nothing fancy going
on here - the chairs are ripped vinyl, the cracked formica tables are bolted to the floor, and
the owner…well, she's not so cheery. But she sure knows how to bake a pie. Wash it
down with a
cebada
(malted barley) or
coyolito
(palm fruit) drink.

El Pizzaiol

(Calle La Libertad s/n; mains US$7-12.50; noon-10pm)
You'll love the ambience in this lilt-
ing Italian trattoria. The food is pretty authentic - with a few regional variations - and the
dessert list is to die for. The thin-crust pizza tops the menu, though you will do equally
well with the savory pasta and meat dishes.
