Went here last night in a group of 9 guys. Thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience. By far the best Italian food I have had in Panama. The service was excellent. All of the staff seemed very experienced and well trained. It is not a big restaurant, purposefully, and has about 50 covers total inside and out. The decor is, in my opinion, very brasserie-like and suits the whole theme of a non-stuffy but very serious restaurant. I especially liked the Owner (daughter) designed wine bottle lights above our table. The Owner and his daughter spent quite a bit of time checking on the customers and entertained us with great stories of the restaurants past life and their own personal experiences. It was a pleasure to interact with them and enhanced the experience and intimacy of the restaurant. Now onto the food. Many of the ingredients were handmade by the Owner - pasta and mascarpone to name just two. We had various dishes which everyone enjoyed, and my fettucine pasta with a meat sauce made with lots of different meats was excellent. You could really taste the different meats and feel the different textures between them. The accompanying wine was excellent too, and I noticed there was a nicely well stocked cellar withing the restaurant. I also noticed how nice and thin the wine glasses were, which enhanced the wine drinking experience in my opinion. Detail is everything, and when its right, it makes a good restaurant a great restaurant. We finished off with a couple of desserts, one of which was the best tirimisu I have ever had. I will definitely be going back to support and enjoy this great restaurant...really well done and thanks!
