    Stopped by for a late lunch in early November and had the place to ourselves! The service was top notch - everyone was prompt, polite, and friendly. We enjoyed the complimentary rolls, which came out warm with an oil dipping sauce and were … More very good! We tried the shrimp and spaghetti and meatballs and both were great! The plates were creatively decorated and the food was nicely presented. We were told to try the pizza, but the oven was being worked on so we'll have to try that on our next visit!

    Fabulous place. We almost feel like we are home in Italy.
    The service is over the top - totally professional.
    The food was great and totally Italian with a twist of Costa Rica❤️🌴 we loved it.
    Eat here if you’re in Manuel Antonio.

    The food was great. They had the best bread I've ever had before a meal at a restaurant. The service was fast and very friendly. Loved it!
  • Avatar Jenni Moreno ★★★★★ 4 months ago
    The restaurant was so beautiful with all the openness. The staff was terrific, so friendly and on point. Most importantly the food was 5 star. I never wrote reviews but the food was so good! We got the bruschetta, best ever. One with cheese … More and one without for dairy restrictions and they were both were equally as good.
    The pasta pomodoro was divine and the chicken franchise was so light and ate very paste bite. Highly recc if visiting Quepos! We can’t stop talking about how delish it was!

    Victorias is a good place, not too expensive.. Portions are not big, how ever in flavor they can have a 10 from me. I show up to places hungry so usually need a sharable
    … More and my main dish. Their drinks are also pretty amazing. 📔✍ we had great service despite the thunderstorm going on as we arrived and throughout dinner.
