Il Capuccino - Puerto Lopez

If you find yourself in Puerto Lopez and are looking for something other than Ecuadorian food, I would suggest trying out this restaurant. They offer a few vegetarian/vegan options such as bruschetta, marinara pizza, and pasta. I personally tried the gnocchi and was not very impressed as it was overcooked and lacked flavor, but I heard positive reviews about the pizza. I cannot confirm if the dough is vegan, so be sure to double check with the chef. I paid $10 for the gnocchi and a glass of water.

The restaurant offers a variety of vegetarian options including pasta with vegetables, gnocchi, lasagna, and a variety of pizzas. They also accommodate requests for pizzas without cheese. The staff is friendly and the location is beautiful.

The Italian cuisine, which is only a few steps away from the puerto lopez, delights local and traveling from all over the world who come to bask under the brilliant and beautiful Ecuadorian sun. roberto zumafen, a retired hockey player from cortina d’ampezzo, opens its doors every day to hear the sounds of the waves, winds and ozeans. I like the beach more than the mountain, said roberto, who only came to ecuador in 1995 when he was in his sport season. so I'm here in puerto lpez. cortina is a ski town that is smuggled between the dolomite Alps in the northern part of italia. one of the most touristic places of the country, known worldwide for its food, traditions and winter sports under its frozen mountain range and where the 2026 Olympic winter games will take place. I follow my family tradition, he said. they always had restaurants in cortina, but my idea was different because we have a different climate and a lot on the beach. about il capuccino the pizzeria trattoria has prepared a lot of directed to enjoy, including pastas, lasagna, gnocchi oqui,) and a fantastic pizza in a traditional Neapolitan style. the restaurant enters its sixth year in the business, and the last roberto and his wife monica opened an Italian ice shop, each cool and happy in this small fishing town where the sun beats most of the time.

I recently visited this restaurant after reading a review mentioning that they have multiple vegan options. We spoke with the chef who was extremely friendly. However, the only vegan option available was a salad. Unfortunately, the salad dressing contains anchovies. Disappointing.

I had a Marinara and I still don't find words for it. It was the best Pizza since a very long time. The dough was absolutely perfect and the rest absolutely delicious. The owner even brought me real olive oil extra vergine, as soon as he found out that I'm a Pizzalover. Super friendly owner and nice atmosphere with good music. Unfortunately all the bars at the beach (1 block away) have loud music, so you hear that too.
