    Amazing food and experience. We felt like we were in their home for a wonderful meal. Met some incredible diners around us as well. Wine was paired perfectly. Food is original, sauces are excellent accompaniments, and Chef cooks with love and passion.

    Nuevamente Chef Antonio Perez nos impresiona con la mezcla de sabores balanceada y el uso de productos del agro local. Su maestría en la elaboración de los platos mientras conversa con los comensales hacen la experiencia única. Regresaremos.

    Incredible experience. Feels like you have your own personal chef. From the second you walk in, feel like you are welcomed into their home. So comfortable and inviting, even if you do not speak Spanish. Chef had a huge smile on his face the entire evening. Food was inventive and super tasty,

    Una experiencia gastronómica única en Puerto Rico! Te sientes como en casa pero a un nivel muy elevado. Admiramos el ímpetu y pasión del chef en términos de preparar platos elevados, sin ser pretencioso y utilizando la mayoría de los ingredientes locales. Y el sabor ni se diga! El maridaje muy apropiado, potencia los sabores! Volvemos!

    Words can't fully describe how amazing this experience was. Chef Antonio takes you on a delectable experience though Puerto Rican, Asian, South American, and European cuisines in a five course tasting menu, with thoughtful and interesting wine pairings, that are cooked, plated, and explained right in front of you. One of the absolute best dining experiences I've ever had!! This is a must do experience for anyone that loves to eat amazing food!!!

    What an excellent experience! Anthony(the Chef) and Sara(his wife and hostess) treat you like royalty. The food is excellent!! Anthony does a great job in explaining each course as he prepares them for you. The serving sizes are prefect(he knows the size of your stomach) as not to leave you stuffed and uncomfortable at the end of the night. It’s prefect for a date, special occasion, business meal or just getting some friends together. You won’t be disappointed!! A must try!!

    Epicuro was one of the finest dining experiences I've ever had. Chef Antonio and Sous Chef Rafa prepared an exquisite 5 course meal directly in front of us, while Sarah (Chef Antonio's wife) paired each dish with delicious wines from across the globe. A true farm-to-table experience with an up-scale penache that blends their passion for food, and love of fresh and local ingredients into every bite. Experience it for yourself. You can thank me later.

    Antonio and his 3-person team delivered a unique gastronomic experience full of Puerto Rican influence infused with his 20-year culinary adventures in South America and Barcelona. A single-seating of 5 courses to include scallops, duck, grouper, short ribs, and Puerto Rican cacao soufflé: and that was just our menu tonight! He works with vendors everywhere to provide the freshest ingredients. At the chef’s table you’ll get a behind the scenes experience of an up-scale meal with a direct line to ask any and all questions to the chef and his team from how a dish was prepared to recommendations for local places. Antonio has a great and entertaining delivery made even better by the quality of the food. His staff, his wife and partner, are absolutely exceptional. If you are in Puerto Rico as a native or a tourist, make his restaurant a priority. Easiest 5 stars I’ve given in a long time.

    An experience as familial and close to home as you allow it to be. On our visit, host Chefs were gliding gracefully around the kitchen floor while seamlessly transitioning from dish to dish to deliver a truly unique experience. Passion, innovation, friendliness, and fire to inspire are visibly displayed on the Chefs' aprons. Thank you, Chefs, for such an unforgettable night. See you again in a couple of weeks.

    Had a fantastic dining experience at Epicuro. Chef Antonio and Rafa prepared a fantastic five course meal in front of us, explaining all the steps and his choices of ingredients and influences, while Sarah paired each course expertly with the perfect wine. All ingredients were incredibly fresh and delicious - a true farm to table experience. Thank you Antonio for cheerfully answering our novice chef questions about olive oil vs butter, best ways to grill a salmon, and how to keep the soufflé from falling. Highly recommend treating yourself to a great night at Epicuro. No backup necessary. We’ll definitely be back on our next trip to San Juan.
