Good

Excellent food and the owner is really nice. Looking forward to come back.

Walking around neighborhood , found this place for a drink, relax, calm atmosphere

My wife and I recently walked by this restaurant. The courtyard with tables looked nice and the music subdued so we stopped and shared calamari and a thin crust pizza. The calamari was tender and the pizza crust perfect. We have since gone back two more times, having sea bass (Robalo) and Spaghetti Carbonara the next time and then on our last visit, my wife had a delicious salad with peaches, almonds, tomatoes, arugula, boiled Cornish hen eggs and I had their creamy version of Fettuccine Alfredo. Mauricio, the owner/chef, is an excellent host and loves to talk food giving great detail about how he prepares the dishes. I would recommend going mid-week, just so you can meet and talk to Mauricio. We were there, one time, on a Sunday night and every table was full so Mauricio was kept busy in the kitchen.

Good experience, accessible prices and great fllavor

Loved this restaurant. This is my favorite of our trip so far. The vegetarian lasagna was the best I've ever had, the stuffed mushrooms were extremely flavorful and delicious, I could taste the fresh oregano. The steaks are cooked perfectly and really soft. The pizza is good, but not my favorite item. Lots of care put into the place, and given to the customers. And a great ambiance on the patio. The music is relaxing and fits the place really well. I definitely recommend.

This restaurant is cute, I loved the little outdoor garden vibe. The owner also recognised my Spanish wasn’t great and put me at ease by speaking very good english. I did ask if the pasta was handmade, perhaps he didn’t really understand what I meant because he said yes but the pasta itself was definitely a dried pasta from a packet. The Bolognesa itself was really nice, though. It was a great flavour and while the pasta wasn’t handmade like I’d have liked, it was still cooked well and overall I enjoyed it. The bread was a bit dry and crumbly too, and with a few raisins which was weird. Not so many raisins that you’d call it raisin bread, but just a few scattered in to make it weird. Overall it’s a nice restaurant, friendly staff, good food. I think some better bread served with some olive oil would go a long way, though.
