We had a fantastic experience here recently. The food was of great quality and taste, some of the best Italian food we’ve had outside of Italy. The restaurant was relaxed, and we ended up chatting to the lovely Italian owner Claudia a little bit too. Definitely recommend to others!

As an Italian I can assure you, this is the best Italian food I've had in Nicaragua. Lasagna like my mom makes it, fresh mozzarella, the bread and pizza just tasted like home! Never expected to find an Italian restaurant this good. Owners are really nice people who make everything themselves since ingredients are scarce. Such a great place!
