Cabarete

Bars & Restaurants

Pomodoro's.

Pomodoro's is an Italian pizza & pasta place. So 'proper' pizza's then. It's at the end of a quaint little alley way that leads up to the main street and is the most western of the 'obvious' restaurants on the main beach in Cabarete. There are a couple of other places to eat if you walk a little further, but as of January '09 I've not eaten there, although the menu at the Hotel Villa Taina looks good and reasonably priced, so definately one to try next visit.

Returning to Pomodoro's, I love the calzone pizza that they do there. A calzone is a large folded pizza and I'm generally drawn to the chicken which is never short of delicious! On this last trip I ate with three other people who all agreed that their pizza was perfect. The service is unhurried but in a 'nice way', you aren't left feeling neglected but not under pressure either. There is ample room to sit on the beach under the marquee or you can sit inside. I usually visit Cabarete during the British winter time, so I always tend to sit outside and relax, reminding myself of the weather back home as I sit on the beach. On this occasion, we paid about RD$500 which included drinks and a tip, as well as more pizza than we could finish, so while not the cheapest on the beach, it is good value still.

Apparently, the owners of Pomodoro's are the driving force behind the 'jazz on the beach' festival in Cabarete. We were coincidentally there in Nov '08 during the festival and the whole town was bouncing. A huge stage was erected on the beach at the Pomodoro end with many local and international jazz singers and musicians playing the night away. I'm by no means a jazz aficionado, but I thoroughly enjoyed being part of the beach party. I don't know if it is always the first week in November, but if you are planning a trip to Cabarete and like live music, it may be worth your while booking around this time... and booking a table at Pomodoro's while you are at it!
