Mediterraneo

Description:

• This is a colorful, relaxing restaurant with bossa nova humming in the background and well-dressed waiters running between well-heeled diners. Though there's an interior dining area, of course, the courtyard is where the action is. At night, it is an elegant sight with its black-and-white tiled floor, backlit palm fronds, and vibrant artwork on the sunflower-yellow walls. The menu is extensive, offering everything from beef stroganoff to pizza (they even do delivery) to pasta. There are some delicious complimentary tomato and garlic tapas to get the ball rolling. The service could be a little bit more prompt, but it is fast by Nicaraguan standards. There is a nice small bar out front if you get impatient and fancy an aperitif or want to try a French or Italian wine from the wine list.
