San San Tropez

Ocho Rios, Port Antonio & the North Coast


San San's owner is Italian, and the menu at it's restaurant (open to nonguests) has one focus: Italian food, home-cooked and cooked right. If you’ve ever been to an Italian restaurant, you can probably recite the menu from rote memory, but it's well-prepped and filling; the seafood and pizza are great and there’s a large wine list.
