Why Travelers Love SelvaRustica By
Sourced from recent guest feedback and verified reviews.
We stopped here for lunch following a tour with Nayara Springs, The lunch was fantastic and the beef was so tender. The place was super quiet but the chef came out to say hello. this place used only the best local ingredient’s and certainly worth a stop So delicious!! Everything was amazing, we had a group of 15 and we were all tourists but they were so kind and gave us amazing service. I ordered the grilled tuna with shrimp and it was super delicious! The lemon pie with a scoop of ice cream is probably the best dessert I've had while traveling, if you're coming through I highly recommend!! Food was amazing here. Lots of variety. I got a pizza only because it was wood fired. All other dishes were large portions. Saw a sloth there too!

Tomohawk : 8.5/10 Solomo Steak: 8/10 Sauces: Chimichurri 10/10 House Passion Fruit Margarita: 10/10 Neon Signs / artwork - fun and added character to tropical location. We had our last dinner in La Fortuna and we were treated to a wonderful steak dinner with incredible service. Mario was attentive and very friendly. The location is beautiful and had a wonderful outdoor feel. Glad we came to SelvaRustica.

A big place clearly catering to the tourists. It was almost too much for us but we decided to give it a try. The food was better than we were expecting and the service was good. It was a little pricey but still worth the visit.
