4.7 / 5.0(3,440 reviews)

The atmosphere is great, the service is excellent. The food is very authentic and high quality. We had the gnocchi and prosciutto pizza. We also had focaccia on the table at no extra charge. There was very tasty olive oil and balsamic vinegar on the table. Highly recommended. Amazing Italian restaurant! The pasta was delicious and really felt like Italy. The service was top-notch! An excellent dining experience! The atmosphere is a bustling taverna with seating spread out and waiters in ties and vests always at the ready. The wine menu is all Italian and very good. We picked an excellent chianti classico docg for $30. Main course was veal shank cooked to perfection with 2 sides. My wife got a Ravioli Napolenta also excellent. Bread and brochetta was included. The service was excellent. A complimentary after dinner creme liquor topped off a wonderful dining experience. Total bill with tax and gratuity $66. Highly recommend!

The restaurant looks like a popular place among locals. We enjoyed our dinner, the food was delicious, very well prepared, and the atmosphere is nice as well. Risotto was great. The service was immaculate, we appreciate that a lot. It’s an Italian restaurant, I didn’t have a wow effect from it. But it was nice to visit and try.

everything in life is temporary..... and so are really good places to eat this is the case here. The good: Stuffed Calamari ( we should have just ordered 4 of these) ... awesome quality, but tiny portions. The Bad: Risotto, traditional and many common types of Italian risotto are finished with cheese, typically Parmigiano-Reggiano They never put it on mine. For a place that imports this cheese into Ecuador and supplies the Supermaxi supermarkets around Ecuador= This was a big mistake. The bad: Corvina alla Pugliese… The sauce was perfect, but the fish itself was lacking ....what happened here? i don't know .... but the dish was off. The oil on the table, was no longer what it was in the past. you can't fake this...if a customer knows what real EVO is. The amount of wine poured into my glass was a joke, considering i could have bought the whole bottle from them on my way out for less than $10 USD .... the server should have given me at least 1/2 a glass for the $6 charge! This was sadly, a mixed experience.... took me allot of effort to get there & not sure I'll go back.
