La Baita Restaurant

Extremely delicious pizza/pasta - probably the best place to eat in Jarabacoa. The setting is very peaceful. We loved the vegetarian options.

If you ever find yourself spending a day in Jarabacoa, make sure to stop at La Baita — it’s an absolute gem. The food is truly authentic Italian, all homemade, and you can taste the difference in every bite. From fresh pastas to perfectly baked dishes, everything feels like it came straight out of a family kitchen in Italy. They also have a surprisingly big selection of beers, each one a little different from the next. But the real star is beer number 7 — and not only because of the size of the bottle! It’s smooth, flavorful, and easily the one you’ll end up recommending to everyone else. Overall, La Baita is the kind of place that makes your day in Jarabacoa even more memorable. Great food, great drinks, great atmosphere — definitely worth the visit.

The pizza is very good and pasta was excellent. Nice atmosphere. Had the pasta surprise and it was superb. The other 3 members of my party had different pastas and all said it was great. The white wine and the beers also good.

The best Italian food I have ever had. The owner was most welcoming and they took the time to explain the dishes. He asked me what I liked, and then conjured up a dish. It was the best pasta I’ve ever had!!!! Some secret family recipe that was amazing. Come here and be prepared for a nouveau experience.

I truly loved this place. Had a great time. Waitress was very sweet and attended all our requests. Which I also thank the kitchen for. We asked for dishes to have slight changes just because we couldn’t have specific ingredients and they accommodated the plates well. The view is crazily stunning and so relaxing in the heart of a city up in a mountain in the Dominican Republic ❤️❤️ Why 3 stars? As much as we enjoyed our time there, I had a hard time eating our main courses. We ordered appetizers that were amazingly done! But some of my Dominican friends recommended me to ask for some of them to have less salt. Since our experience with those were great I had no intentions on changing the main courses. But I felt like I had to. Great pasta! Loved the texture. Great ingredients, loved the fresh and crunchy shrimps. But we had a hard time with the seasoning of the pasta dishes that had many garlic or tomato sauce involved. I hope they change this since it is a great place and those dishes were great just needed some balance there. Less garlic and the tomato sauce more diluted maybe. The ones who ordered those heavy seasoned dishes had their stomach a little upset later that day. Repeating garlic is no fun either. But we know it was just the over seasoning the issue here. I am definitely coming back here. Will try asking for adjustments on the dishes this time. It is just a place to be while in the northern area of the country!!

At the suggestion of my friend we went there to eat pizza. I thought it was just another pizzeria but the place resulted to be amazing. The owner and chef Marco made us feel like home. The restaurant is in a countryside home surrounded by farmland. The appetizers including a pizza were amazing as well as the entrees: "surprise pasta" was the best. The tiramisu was to die for and the final touch: handmade in house limoncello. A must when back in Jarabacoa. One of the best Italian restaurants I have ever visited

There's no where else I would rather eat. I could eat here everyday and have been here multiple times in a week. Phenomenal, every meal, the service and the atmosphere. By far my favorite restaurant!!!

A perfect place with a breathtaking view... Excellent Italian food! 10/10
