Bellitalia is a star of the Puerto Lopez restaurant scene and produces an incredible dining experience. They are highly recommended by all of the travel guides from Europe and the US including Lonely Planet, Let's Go, Moon Handbook, and Fodors.
The restaurant is presently open for 3 hours in the evening 6 nights a week for 9 months of the year and provides more than enough income for the owners to live well on.
The Italian couple who started the restaurant are planning on stepping a bit further into retirement and are looking to train the next in line to run this well-established gem of italian cuisine on Ecuador's coast.
The restaurant has a cozy relaxed ambiance and reservations are almost always neccesary as the tables fill up every night with a mix of ecuadorians and well-traveled expats.
The property also features an extensive garden giving you a place to enjoy the off hours. It's also a short 2 minute stroll to the beach.
The lot is 15x52 meters (46 x158 ft) and has a front entrance and a back garden entrance. There is over 1,000 square feet of cement construction and a very nice apartment overlooking the garden where the owners currently reside. The construction has 2 bedrooms and a private bath that is finished according to European standards.
Here is a map of the location in Puerto Lopez. The restaurant is located just off the road that comes from the small river as it approaches the 4 way intersection at the base of the image below.
There are adjacent lots for sale in case the new owners would like to expand the restaurant, add a hostal, or build a separate residence next door.
Perhaps the sweetest part of this deal is that the owners will happily stay on for a few months to teach the new owners how to prepare the items on the menu including handmade pastas, pizza, and delicious seafood sauces.
The business and residence comes furnsihed and includes everything you need to keep the business running and well maintained including a generator to keep the fridge and freezers running in case of power outages, an AC unit in the living quarters, and all the basic needed for preparing, cooking, and serving their full menu.
The owners are selling a successful business, a beautiful residence, and a functioning team of employees, suppliers, and happy customers.
Their asking price is very reasonable $160,000
