03/13/12

After 7 years in business, Nosara native Alexander “Chandy” Cabalceta Lopez decided it was time to stop renting and build his own locale for his popular pizzeria, Il Basilico. 

The grand opening of the more spacious location was held on Valentine’s Day, February 14th, with a special buffet, live music and had a large turnout of about 250 people. The new 372-square-meter location is just 50 meters from the former location, 100 meters south of Nosara Yoga Institute between Esperanza and Guiones. 

Diners can enjoy live music every Thursday starting at 6:30 p.m. and on Saturdays can enjoy any pizza for 5000 colones all year long.  Currently Il Basilico is open from 5 p.m. to 10:30 p.m. each night, but Chandy said that in March he plans to begin opening for lunch as well.
