First visited this restaurant almost 15 years ago and I am still going there at least once every time I am in Santo Domingo for fish and lobsters although that they also have different dishes of pastas and meats.

The ambience is very nice with views of the malecon. Inside and outside seating. When ordering seafood they bring the fresh catches out on a trolley for you to choose. I tried the Lion Fish which was sautéed in butter and served with potatoes (a bit too crisp). Their dessert selection was very large (also brought out on a trolley),... More

service was so-so and the terrace very noisy because of the traffic. I enjoyed a nice risotto with black ink and my colleague had a nice seafood dish prepared with tomotoes

Used to be the top 3 restaurant in town. Not any more... Only rest the memories, bad service, high prices, only tourist visit now... Need to renovate concept and service.

Vesuvio Malecon Overall I wasn't too impressed with this place. The decoration inside and outside is very pretty and I did like that the tables had a good amount of space in between them. I went with a party of 7 and we were greeted at the door and decided to sit inside. The guests seemed like upper class folks,... More

This is a solid restaruant with a nice menu. It is very close to the Hilton. So if you are staying at the Hilton I would recommend going.

So was the prosciutto, the steak, the seafood y todo! I loved it! It is expensive, but in this case you get what you... More
