Italian Job

Top choice in Port Antonio


This is a jolly, Italian-run, checked-tablecloth sort of a place, with great pasta, pizza and salads, plus crepes for dessert. Keep an eye on the specials board too, as the chef puts a great twist on local offerings; beware the potent lobster cooked in ganja-infused butter. The wine is pretty good, too.
