There are a couple of pizza restaurants in town, but Pizzeria Da Giulio is probably the most gourmet. Owner Giulio was born in Italy and spent 14 years working in Milan. Whether or not his background contributes to the restaurant's authenticity is something you'll have to decide for yourself. The Italian-Ecuadorian owners go to great lengths to ensure their ingredients are fresh and true to Italian form, something easier said than done in a country where rice, platanos and meat are the staples. Cheese is bought from a specialty store in Quito and the mushrooms are hand chopped and marinated in a special mix of olive oil and garlic. Though pizza is the speciality, the restaurant also offers a variety of fish, chicken and meat dishes - all of which can be enjoyed with an ocean view.
