What a lovely hidden gem! On the edge of the walled town (but just steps away from the iconic Cafe del Mar), this might be the most well-kept secret of Cartagena! They have a beautiful and spacious garden area perfect for dates or family gatherings, and the band played great local and Latin music all night long, not the incessant party music of Cartagena restaurants. The chef himself checked on our table many times and recommended dishes, and of course the pasta he made was delicious.

Lovely Italian restaurant with an indoor or outdoor seating option. We opted for the outdoor - garden area with plants and trees. Pleasant evening. There was live music too. They provide actual menus (instead of the qr code) with English descriptions. The pasta puttanesca was al dente with olives and capers. All of our entrees were delicious including the appetizers. If you are in the mood for a good Italian meal, come to La Girolata.

We always love dining at La Girolata when we visit Cartagena. It’s a very romantic place to enjoy one of a kind food. The service is beyond amazing and the restaurant itself is beautiful. You’ll always be greeted by the chef himself and he makes you feel right at home. Highly recommend this restaurant!

It was a great little spot in town to spend my last night with my girlfriend. Great service and food. The wine was also great. Definitely would recommend this place.

10 stars for this gem of a restaurant in Cartagena! Arguably the best pasta we've had anywhere, and we've traveled through Italy and live in the SF Bay area where there are many excellent Italian restaurants. The pasta was cooked perfectly al dente, and for someone who does not like cheese in their pasta sauce, the seafood pasta was divine. We also had the salmon with herbs, and it was light, tender and perfectly seasoned. My kids devoured their food, and we had to order another pasta entree because we loved it all so much. To top it off, Chef Pietro (originally from Milan) came to our table, made recommendations and ensured everything was perfect. From the comprehensive menu to the extensive wine list, you will find something that you like here. The staff and service are impeccable. The restaurant has beautiful ambiance for a special date night or celebratory dinner. We also loved the music playlist. All in all, a 10-star dining experience.

Absolutly beautiful place, delicious food, spectacular ambient.. and awsome service.. highly recommended

(Translated by Google) God save us these can do everything except cook. Don't say that you are an Italian restaurant. (Original) Dio ci salvi questi tutto sanno fare tranne che cucinare .Non dite che siete ristorante Italiano .

Wonderful experience! The chef is warm and welcoming and the staff does a perfect job. Order the tenderloin, the cooking was to the point and the sauce impecable.

We search for the best review for Italian restaurant and found this place. I must say that I had big expectations and non of the dishes wowed us. It was mediocre at best. The atmosphere was the nicest thing about this restaurant.

Hidden gem in Cartagena. Top quality Italian food with great atmosphere and service. 100% recommended

This place was super nice. More nice that no one else was there so the service was amazing. Lol. But the food was exceptional as well. I got ravioli with shrimp my husband being a copy cat got ravioli as well but with prosciutto. I highly recommend going to this gem.

This is one of the best places to eat in Cartagena. The owner is Italian from Italy and is also the Chef. The food is authentic, delicious and the decor and atmosphere is top notch. I've eaten here several times and have always wanted to go back.

The prices were amazing, the food was delicious. The waitress was friendly, helpful and very professional

A great spot if you need a break from seafood and even if you don't! Beautiful spot, delicious food and friendly staff.

Excellent food . I have visited them twice in the last two months and food is very consistent and well done . The first time the owner himself came to the table to give us his recommendations and cook each meal we ordered. Service was very very good also. It's a big big old house inside the walls of the old city. They have very nice and elegant inside dining and a big outdoor patio on the back . Food was well prepared and beautifully presented !!

Legitimate Italian in Colombia. I had the filet. Cooked perfectly medium rare. Atmosphere romantic and beautiful

Great food and great alternative now that the Enoteca shut down. The food is amazing (must try the beef carpaccio) and the wine is reasonably priced. The terrace is nice and cozy, just make sure to bring bug repellent if you come at dusk or before 8 pm.

Delicious Italian food and wines, great atmosphere and excellent service (especially for Colombian standards)

Beautiful place, exquisite food and service, Sr Pietro really nice and made excellent recommendations.

Just wow! Make sure to let the chef choose your dish. 8 of us were all happy with his recommendations.

We had such a special experience at this restaurant. Not only is the restaurant itself absolutely stunning and beautiful to sit in, but the food is also delicious! The staff made the experience personable. We highly recommend and will visit again in the future.

This food is so fresh and delicious. Service was also great. Will definitely return the next time I’m in Cartagena!

Excellent food and ambiance!

Delicious food. The best pasta I ever had. Amazing service and atmosphere. Will come back next time when visit Cartagena ♥️ I would give this place 10 stars

Very lovely atmosphere!!! The waiters pretty polite, the food was amazing, the music only that you need to fell just in front of the Caribbean sea!

Good place, the food was good. Couldn't be seated inside where I wanted to be seated. We were in the patio instead.

I visited this restaurant twice in my 1 week stay in Cartegena and I will be talking about it at home! The food, service, and ambiance is excellent.

We had an amazing dinner at this restaurant! The service was excellent and the food was delicious. The Ambiente was pretty nice and also the music was a perfect choice. It was way better then most of the restaurants in Italy. We definitley will go there again!

Un postre de maracuyá y coco en $16.000 que en realidad era gelatina a dos colores sin ninguna especialidad, ni sabor distintivo.

Il luogo bellissimo, il cibo meraviglioso!

Maps fails to mention how fancy this place is. The food was great and the service was exceptional, also the atmosphere was really nice. Only the portion was way too big for me, but that's really nothing to complain about.

(Translated by Google) Excellent attention, wonderful food, chef and owner are 100% aware of his guests (Original) Exceñente atencion, comida maravillosa, em chef y dueño es pendiente 100%de sus comensales

Delicious food ,,great service.

Beautiful restaurant inside and outside. The owner/chef was very attentive and great on answering any and all questions. The food was delicious and the art on display in the back of the restaurant was great. The patio dining area is very romantic. Great experience overall.

If you want Italian food by excellence, you must stop here. The pasta is *perfectly* al dente, the sauce just right, and the flavour undeniably exquisite. This is the epitomy is great food, when you can make something so simple be so memorable. You won't regret it.

Great Italian food, came back twice!

The place is absolutely perfect, the food is amazing and the way the owner and staff treats you is top notch.

The atmosphere is great. The Risotto was absolutely delicious, as was the dessert. But 2 stars off for serving my main course cold with the kitchen steps from the table

(Translated by Google) A large restaurant very good to receive people in times of pandemic, in the photo is the balsamic filetto dish and as a side a 4-cheese risotto, the meat very well prepared, a tender tenderloin with a sauce that plays very well with the meat Since it highlights the flavor of it, I give it 4 stars because in my opinion the 4 cheese risotto companion should feel a slightly more cheese flavor in my opinion (Original) Un restaurante amplio muy bueno para recibir a las personas en tiempo de pandemia, en la foto está el plato filetto al balsámico y como acompañante un risotto 4 quesos, la carne muy bien preparada un lomito tierno con una salsa que juega muy bien con la carne ya que resalta el sabor de la misma, le doy 4 estrellas por que a mi parecer el acompañante risotto 4 quesos debería sentirsele a mi parecer un sabor ligeramente más a queso
