When you're craving a pizza down in La Fortuna, this was great! thin crust, lots of toppings, homemade sauce, and lots of cheese! then baked in a beautiful wood fired oven! Great value and 2 of us ate one pizza with leftovers!

Everything was great! We shared a salad with a mango dressing. We each had an especial pizza which was salami, ham, onion, green peppers, and mushrooms. We did substitute to make it our own.

After riding horses at Alberto's Horses (another 5-star review from us) we were feeling saddle sore and proud of our adventure. While we loved all the authentic cuisine, we'd already had an adventure for the day and wanted a taste of something familiar. Anch'io has awesome wood fired pizzas, and we are both very into quality pizzas. Thin, crisp crust,... More

We had the caprese salad and the combination pizza which were very adequate for the two of us. Both were excellent. Service was exceptional.

We loved this place so much we went there twice in one week. The pizza is thin crust and made in a wood burning oven. The wait staff were friendly and the price was excellent. Loved it.

Nice open air italian cafe. Pastas and pizzas all tasted delicious, but the pasta portions were a little on the small size.

My husband and I ate pizza. It was unbelievable good. But paying the same money than for a pizza in Switzerland looked a little bot too much for us. No kids menu and not possible to have half portions... Difficult to choose for my three years old kid. Service was slow and not trying to help much. Finally mosquitos literally... More

This restaurant was vey good and service was excellent. More American prices for sure, but food was very authentic, especially the wood fire pizza. We had the tomato and basil pizza. Very tasty.
