Casa Dante
PUERTO RICAN $$
( 39 Av Isla Verde; dishes $10-26; lunch & dinner)
Casa Dante is a family-run res-
taurant that serves more variations of
mofongo
than one would think humanly feasible. All
are delicious, and you can stick to fajitas, pasta or a basic steak if that's what you prefer.
Il Nonno
ITALIAN $$
( 41 Av Isla Verde; dishes $15-36; lunch & dinner)
A white-tablecloth choice that
strikes the right balance between excellent food and reasonable prices, 'the Grandfather'
has solicitous service and a pleasant dining room with an old-world feel. A respectable
wine list pairs well with dishes such as tortellini with prosciutto and porcini mushrooms or
veal shank with saffron risotto.
Don José Café
PUERTO RICAN $
( 6475 Av Isla Verde Km 6.3; dishes $4-18; 24hr)
No frills, no formalities, but good
food - and it's open 24 hours, though you'd think it wasn't operating at all looking at
the heavily tinted windows. Come here for breakfast after one of those exuberant all-night
parties and nip your hangover in the bud with two fried eggs, bacon and ham washed down
with a strong cup of coffee.
