Onno’s Alto de Chavon is actually a chain operating in several spots throughout the Dominican Republic. And it certainly has a reputation for being a great spot to grab a drink (or two) and enjoy some great food while you’re at it.

Limoncello is quaint little spot that serves some great pizza. Seriously, try their pizza, handmade and cooked in a wood fired oven for that rustic firewood taste. The owner himself is Italian and allegedly had the oven parts shipped over from Italy. It’s in the heart of the marina so you can grab a fresh cold beer, a pizza and watch the boats go by for a pleasant afternoon.
