Campioni Pizza Birra & Tapas
Located in a well-preserved historic building on the town square, Campioni is equally loved for its casual, family atmosphere as it is for its tapas, brick-oven pizzas, and classic Italian dishes.

El Negocio de Panchi
Considered one of the best restaurants in the south region, El Negocio de Panchi specializes in gourmet Puerto Rican and international dishes with Creole hints.
