Celebrated our anniversary dinner at La Yola and the staff attentiveness and attention to detail were excellent. Elys, our waiter, made sure every single item that arrived at our table was great - from champagne, appetizers, main entry, cake/dessert to the after-dinner drinks. Could not have picked a better place to celebrate.

About the restaurant

Puntarena, located in Bani, is a hidden paradise where nature surrounds you with dreamy sunsets, desert hills and the charm of flamingos dancing on the coast.

This unique destination preserves the natural wealth of the environment, protecting its beaches, dunes and mountains; and maintaining the balance between growth and conservation. It is home to amazing biodiversity, from the elusive rhinoceros iguana to a variety of marine life in its mangroves.

It has different amenities, among which it is worth highlighting its Club House with infinity pool, restaurant, ecological trails, the most charming and picturesque sunsets, in front of the white sand beaches that delimit the coast.

In addition, it is a privileged area for wind sports such as kitesurfing, windsurfing and sailing. Its surroundings also lend themselves to adventure activities such as mountain biking, hiking, horseback riding or migratory bird watching.

Wonderful staff and great ambiance. However, the establishment needs to do a better job at cleaning up the rocks from the beach. It was difficult to swim here.

Amazing Food and Unforgettable Experience at Casa Luca! I’m visiting from Boston, and this was my second time dining at Casa Luca. What an incredible experience once again! The food was absolutely delicious, each dish was full of flavor and beautifully prepared. The ambience was warm and inviting, making it the perfect spot for a memorable evening. A special shoutout to my waiter, Benjamin, who truly made my visit exceptional. Not only was he attentive and professional, but he was also funny and made the experience so enjoyable. I speak both English and Spanish but communicate better in English, so I really appreciated that he spoke English, it made ordering so much easier for me. After dinner, I visited the Oak Room for a drink, and it was the perfect way to end the night. The vibe was cozy yet lively, and the atmosphere was just right for relaxing and enjoying a cocktail. I highly recommend Casa Luca to anyone looking for amazing food, great service, and a fantastic overall experience. I’ll definitely be returning the next time I’m in Santo Domingo!

Great experience, excellent food, incredible ambience. Have to say that even though we selected the standard seating option when we made our reservation, they decided to sit us outdoor because it didn’t reflect the selection we make through Open Table. After making the claim and 30 minutes later, they sat us inside. Everything else, was perfect.
