Nancy, are you already back? I just saw your post. Selva Verde in Sarapiqui has a great casual open air pizza restaurant called La Terrazza. It's right on the river. In La Fortuna, we like Don Rufino, La Choza de Laurel, and if you want cheap local food Soda la Parada is good. We've also enjoyed steaks at El Novillo, but I think they've changed owners/management since we were there last. Both Nayara and the Springs Resort and Spa have good upscale restaurants. Pizzeria de Johnny in Monteverde has good salads, pizzas, and things like that - it's a neat atmosphere, a little fancier than what you'd expect from a pizza joint. When you're back in SJO, the restaurant at the hotel Grano de Oro is excellent. It's kind of posh compared to other CR restaurants.
