Gastronomy in La Romana

In La Romana, chefs have the advantage of fresh ingredients year-round; it is one of the main meat production centers in the country and the area where the largest melon farms are located. Smaller restaurants serve the catch of the day. Many Italians and Spaniards have moved to this region and opened small restaurants for tourists, who can also experience Dominican food on safaris; but for those who want more, the "dish of the day" specials offer more than the popular stewed meat, rice with beans, and tostones.
