    Beware of the staff here. Our waiter tried to demand a tip after we paid with a credit card. He tried to crumple up the receipt after I asked to see it to confirm the service charge was already included. Message to the owner: You should fire staff that tries to cheat and take advantage of your customers. It reflects extremely poorly on your restaurant.

    The food is really good here. Ordered pesto pasta + a pesto pizza. The combination was incredible. We had a pretty good sized group with us so we also ordered 2 Pepperoni pizzas + a Mediterrean salad + a Ceasar chicken salad. The salads were incredible. The staff was really friendly and accommodating. They allowed us to sit outside in the Courtside area. Defibtely a top spot and am planning to go back.

    The service here was absolutely fantastic, great location, food is pretty good.

    Food is a good price but the pizza base is a bit thin and cardboardy (they are pre bought as I saw them stacked in the kitchen) . The pizza needed way more tomato base on it too. The service was really good. You do get hassled a lot by sellers/ rappers while you eat as they sit on the bench and wait to take their turns trying to sell to you.

    Wir fanden das Restaurant an eine schönen Location in Getsemani. Das essen war gut und die Bedienung war freundlich. Wir haben aber sehr lange warten müssen und fanden die Preise ein wenig zu teuer. Leider konnten wir die schönen Plätze draußen nicht so gut genießen, weil im Minutentakt ein Straßenkünstler nach dem anderen mit teils sehr lauter Musik neben uns aufgetreten ist. Wir würden das Restaurant nicht empfehlen.

    Stay away - this is a Tourist scam . I my opinion I strongly suggest all positive reviews are fake. This has nothing to do with an Italian restaurant. The appetizers, pasta and pizza are not close to any Italian dish, as they are missing basic ingredients like sauces, and after all taste. No one in this restaurant is Italian, and after confronting we have been told that they received the recipes from a Italian person, lol. Every frozen pizza/ pasta is probably 100x times better.

    This place was as good as the reviews everyone has left. Great pizza with good olio di peperoncino! Prices are reasonable and service is truly one of a kind! The restaurant is located right in front of a cute plaza where you can enjoy your food and still expetience Cartagena at night.

    One word ... WOW!! The best pizza and Italian cuisine in Cartagena! Service was outstanding, ingredients were fresh, restaurant was clean and the bathrooms are normal size with almost all of the comforts from home. The best part was the view. Great for people watching. Our waiter was warm and friendly and I would highly recommended this eatery if your ever in Cartagena!

    Had a nice healthy med salad. Also had a chicken and mushroom Alfredo pasta. Both were very good.

  • 5/5 Chris S. 1 year ago on Google • 47 reviews
    If possible ask for Andres to be your server… great recommendations, great service and super friendly personality. Do yourself a favor… get both. If you find yourself between two, three or even four pizzas… just get them all, you won’t regret it. Amazing pizzas, great prices and a chill vibe is exactly what we needed on a beautiful weekday out in Cartagena. This will be a place I recommend to anyone who visits!

  • 5/5 Ted C. 1 year ago on Google
    Getsemani has pizza places everywhere. I can’t speak to the others, but the pizza here was off the charts. Seriously, one of the best pizzas I’ve ever had. Can’t tell you which one it was, but our waiter, who was wonderful btw, recommended it to us. Note that this place is a bit off the beaten path, but worth searching out. While we were trying to find it, a guy from another restaurant tried to get us to come in. In my poor Spanish, I said I was sorry but that we were looking for Basilica Pizza Cafe. He laughed because we were right in front of it. People in Colombia are some of the nicest and friendliest people I’ve met!

  • 1/5 Nora L. 1 year ago on Google
    Horrible. Unfriendly owner. For the wine you pay 5 dollars and get one tiny sour sip of disgusting wine. They don't bring the food at the same time, when some almost finished, the last orders were served. The pasta was disgusting. The completely forgot the salt - in the pasta itself and the sauce. The sauce didn't taste like anything, no spices at all. The pizza was mediocre. Would never come here again.

    Best place to eat pizza in Cartagena Colombia ,Do not miss this opportunity to pass by

  • 1/5 Olmo van B. 2 years ago on Google
    Still no words to describe.. let's start off positive: the staff is very friendly and well attentive, but that's about it. The sangria basically had no taste and the pizza I ordered (Arrabiata) was one of the very worst I've eaten. Undercooked, very little taste and much more cheese than the menu (Mozzarella) indicated. One of the guys never got his pizza and just left, which was after we already had been waiting for an hour (there weren't many people, it certainly wasn't busy) For its location and the fact basically only tourist show up here I found the quality worth a one star...

  • 5/5 Victor 2 years ago on Google
    A friend got to choose between two pasta types, and got the wrong one. It took forever to get a second drink (water). But my pizza was great.

  • 5/5 Andy S. 2 years ago on Google
    Was able to get a great meal here on Christmas Eve night with a delicious salad and a couple of tasty pizzas for all of our food preferences (vegetarian and non-vegetarian). A short walk from the old city and in the heart of Getsemani.

  • 5/5 David B. 4 years ago on Google
    Best pizza in Cartagena. Delicious thin crust with a huge variety of options. Go for one of their specialties and you won't regret it. The location is about a block from La Plaza de la Trinidad on a quaint little square with interesting artwork all around. Super friendly staff and courteous service. This is the place to go if you're in the mood for a pie and fancy a beautiful walk around Getsemani.

    An exceptional dining experience at this restaurant! The Vegetarian Pizza and Pasta were both incredibly delicious, offering vibrant flavors that delighted the taste buds. Moreover, the attentive service provided by servers Andres and Dago was impeccable, adding to the overall enjoyment of our meal. Kudos to the culinary team for crafting such delightful dishes and to the staff for their outstanding service. Highly recommended for anyone seeking fantastic food and top-notch hospitality!

  • 4/5 Pad1089 1 year ago on Google
    This place has honest and kind staff! I left my hat and sunglasses on a table outside and the staff kept them inside for the night so that I could pick them up the next day! I was so relieved. I ate fettuccini bolognese which appeared to be a traditional recipe that was brown in color. The sauce was flavorful and full of meat. The fettuccine was cooked well. I prefer my pasta a little firmer. The coconut lemonade was delicious. The brownie with ice cream was okay. The ice cream tasted nice, but the brownie was a bit dry. Lucky the ice cream gave the brownie just enough moistness. If I return to this restaurant I will try the pizza next time.

    Edit: Thank you for replying to my comment, I really appreciate it. I am changing my rating to 5 but keep in mind that it was one of the waiters who told me the dough contains milk when I asked them. Too bad because I wanted to eat at your pizzaria... I didn't actually eat at this place and I hate that my review contributes negatively to the rating of this pizzaria but I am so tired of vegetarians writing vegan reviews... I asked and the pizza dough contains milk. It is NOT vegan. Keep this in mind if you are vegan or intolerant/allergic.

  • 5/5 Alix H. 1 year ago on Google
    had a great pizza here on our first night in Cartagena. Our waiter, Andrea, was really friendly and helpful. He made us feel very welcome and his pizza recommendations were great! The pizza came within a good time and was delicious- a really good price for a big pizza, and the toppings were amazing! Had a great dinner here and would definitely recommend!

    Average pizza, for that price (price around 40k COP) we expected something more but still one of the best pizza we found in Colombia. The staff was very nice and fast.

    We came to this restaurant on our first night in Cartagena as it was close to our hostel and wow! The Carmona pizza was one of the best pizzas I've ever had 😍 the carbonara pasta was really nice too and the prices are very reasonable. Andres is a great waiter, very friendly and speaks good English! There's also a great vibe here. We will definitely be back!

  • 5/5 Caitriona M. 8 months ago on Google
    This place is fantastic, lovely food, great atmosphere and wonderful staff. David was really helpful and a brilliant server. The pesto pasta is ridiculously good. They often have street entertainers outside the front of the restaurant which is great, especially when dining solo.

    Excelente servicio, atención y comida. Siempre que regreso es grato pasar el rato en el lugar. Me gusta que tiene dos ambientes y la plaza es agradable para ir en pareja o amigos. Las pizzas tienen el toque Perfecto de sabor y crocancia, se esmeraron por crear un menú no tan tradicional en donde uno encuentra pizzas con sabores que no consigue en cualquier lado.

  • 4/5 Benno G. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Pizza is always a matter of taste, it tastes wafer-thin, I liked it. However, for a relatively small pizza at almost € 8, it's quite expensive (Original) Pizza ist immer Geschmackssache, sie ist hauchdünn geschmacklich gut, mir hat sie geschmeckt.

  • 5/5 Adam W. 5 years ago on Google
    This is a great pizzeria in the Getsemani area. They had seating inside or outside in the square. We were seated immediately and even though our Spanish was terrible, the waiter was very patient. The pizza was great. I ordered the Getsemani while my wife ordered pepperoni. Both were very good and tasted very fresh. If you are wanting pizza, it is definitely worth the walk or taxi ride from anywhere in Cartagena. Do not feel intimidated if your Spanish is not up to snuff. We will definitely return!!

Also you get to sit in a beautiful small square where you can enjoy street art an street musicians that come a go all the time performing local songs, salsa an more!

    (Translated by Google) Excellent place to eat a spectacular pizza. What I don't recommend at all is the sangria. Don't waste money asking for it. The place is great and the attention is super good. They deserve the 5 * because I think they cannot be punished for the taste of the sangria because it is my perception and I am not a taster hahahaha. (Original) Excelente lugar para comerte una pizza espectacular. Lo que no recomiendo para nada es la sangría. No pierdas dinero pidiéndola. El lugar es genial y la atención es super buena.
