    El lugar es bonito y se puede ver la cocina donde hacen las pastas, eso es lo mejor de la experiencia. Luego de eso todo fue mal, los gnocci estaban sin sabor, el ravioli de queso muy salado y duro y la pasta al pesto estaba tan cruda que se podia ver la harina al morderla. Que pena que ni las pastas ni las salsas estuvieron bien. Lo unico rescatable de la comida es el brocoli con queso de la entrada que estuvo espectacular. El mesero tambien estaba como en entrenamiento….No creo que regresemos, tienen muchas cosas por mejorar

    Food was bad, vitello tonnato was awful… not sure what it was, but it wasn’t the real thing. Pasta was served undercooked (not al dente, undercooked), main dishes were served at different times (terrible timing) and even wine was bad. Service was slow. Not coming back, as there are plenty of amazing italian restaurants in Panama.

    en general un lugar tranquilo, menu básicamente pastas y algo de otras cosas. Recomiendo raviolis 4 quesos, agnelotti de cordero y orecchiete con pesto y pistachos. Tuvimos un inconveniente con una lasagna que no la calentaron y llego a la mesa fria de nevera, detalles que debe cuidar el chef. El postre estuvo rico tenerina nocciola.
