    (Translated by Google) The pizzas are delicious, good attention, the place very cozy without realizing we talked for more than 3 hours while we ate and drank a bottle of wine. The ingredients felt fresh! (Original) Las pizzas son deliciosas, una buena atención, el lugar muy acojedor sin darnos cuenta hablamos por mas de 3 hora mientras comiamos y bebiamos una botella de vino. Los ingredientes se sentian frescos!

    Delicious! Authentic pizza in the heart of old Panama

  • 4/5 Tony F. 2 years ago on Google
    Nice restaurant and service. Small selection of beer though. Bottled water is expensive. Worth a visit though.

  • 5/5 Raul Z. 2 years ago on Google
    Excellent food, at 2pm the place was empty we almost walked away, I'm glad we didn't the owner prepared some of the best pasta in a long time, truly fantastic. Parking is there only problem in that area, take a taxi!!

  • 5/5 Robert R. 2 years ago on Google
    Wow. Best pizza and pasta I’ve had in years. I had no idea there were gems like this in Panama. I’ll be back for sure.

  • 4/5 Stuart A. 2 years ago on Google
    Pizza good but to serve a glass of white wine at room temperature is the actions of a place that doesn't care for its customers.. Especially at the price they are charging for the white wine..

  • 5/5 Jennifer G. 2 years ago on Google
    We stumbled into this place on accident, looking for breakfast. They were extremely kind and accommodating, our children had delicious scrambled eggs and bread, and to accommodate our vegetarian preferences they came up with a layered fresh tomato and melted cheese concoction that was amazing. They also had a delicious eggplant thing, all with bread for scooping. But the most memorable was the latte - so well made it didn’t need any sugar to be a delicious treat.

  • 5/5 Elena R. 5 years ago on Google
    Friendly service, great food. I liked the fact they use fresh champions.

  • 5/5 Luca C. 2 years ago on Google
    The best pizza in Panama. Try the Dolomiti.

  • 5/5 David W. 2 years ago on Google
    Fantastic pizza in the heart of Casco. The dough was light and fluffy! This chef really knows pizza. I’m no pro but I’ve had pizza in Naples, Rome, London, New York, and i didn’t expect to find this level in Panama. Very good! This was take away. The service was fast and friendly too. Gracias

  • 5/5 Charles R. 2 years ago on Google
    This is the best pizza in the area. Family dined here three times, and would have more but they were closed Monday. Here’s the deal: they’ve perfected the crust - certainly using the perfect blend of flour and fermentation. The ingredients are fresh, and the marinara sauce is homemade. This place is a gem.

  • 5/5 Ashley 1 year ago on Google
    Really tasty pizza that was served faster than I expected. I had bbq chicken. Would recommend!

  • 4/5 Warren S. 4 years ago on Google
    Great Eggplant Parmesan, Caprese Pizza, and Burrata Salad. Not cheap, but fairly standard prices for Panama.

  • 5/5 Lital D. 9 months ago on Google
    Great food! We loved everything we took, and we were there twice within a week.

  • 5/5 Osvaldo Ortega V. 9 months ago on Google
    Inside the Casco and sure it's must be one of the best pizzas, beside is close to the Mola museum, so go take a look to the museum and try the pizza, the flavors was great, it's right in the corner walking distance from almost everything.

  • 5/5 Naseem K. 11 months ago on Google
    The pizza was delicious!! We got the Hawaiian and couldn’t stop eating. The pizza is baked with so much detail and care. The service was lovely and the restaurant was small and intimate. We loved it! We also loved that it was a family establishment. We highly recommend!!!

  • 5/5 Donald H. 1 year ago on Google
    A local artist recommended this restaurant and we were not disappointed in the slightest. My friend perhaps said it best when he said the cuatro formation was the best had in the Western Hemisphere. We also had the house special, "Tomásino" which was magnificent. I will return anytime I am in Panama.

  • 5/5 Ef C. 1 year ago on Google
    Best Pizza fresh ingredients, fresh bread. If you want a very different great pizza try this restaurant…

  • 4/5 Hugo 1 year ago on Google
    Food is amazing here! We had a caprese salad, a pizza and the pasta carbonara. We have traveled to Italy several times and this food is really authentic. People in the kitchen are doing great jobs! The service is however quite poor. The waitress seemed not very interested, was chewing bubble gum and did not show a smile entire evening. Further, I believe the atmosphere and decoration is a bit basic in comparison to the prices of the dishes. Not bad, but not good either.

  • 5/5 David F. 10 months ago on Google
    Third time visiting and as always Tomas is the best. Our group had Pizza, pasta carbonara and Eggplant Parmesan. Will continue to go back every time we're in Panama.

  • 5/5 Jose Antonio B. 1 year ago on Google
    Cozy Pizza and Italian food restaurant in Casco Antiguo Panama. The Italian owner is at the helm of the kitchen and that definitely makes a difference in quality and service. It's worth visiting it.

  • 5/5 Sarah H. 2 years ago on Google
    The pizza was good, but weird. We ordered a 4 topping pizza and they put 1 topping on 2 individual slices (see pic). It was good, but would have rather had the toppings spread over the whole pizza. Also, they could use an ambiance change-maybe play some Italian music instead of the weird pop music (that also had to compete with their child who was playing a loud video game). They did have outdoor seating, which I wish we would have chosen.

  • 5/5 Audrey G. 1 year ago on Google
    Muy rico! We went here twice in our four days in casco , we were that impressed. Super nice staff/chef/owners. Get the burrata salad, comes with some of their amazing home made rustic bread. The bruchetta also looked delicious. Seriously. Good. Pizza.

  • 5/5 Erac T. 1 year ago on Google
    One of the best pizzas I’ve ever had no B.S.

    I've eaten pizza all my life & I must say this Pizza was probably in my top 2 places to eat pizza!! You could taste the Freshness 💜 This Margarita pie was made with 💕 Server was Great as well 🏆

  • 5/5 Cole 1 year ago on Google
    The best pizza I've had south of the US border. Incredibly fresh! Marvelous "brick oven" style oven. Lots of vegetarian options. Fast, competent, service. Excellent bathroom!

  • 4/5 Season G. 1 year ago on Google
    Muy bien! 👍🏼 food was very very good it’s the service that lost a star for me, the waitress took a long time to take our order. Anyways, the place smelt so good, its small inside but they have some tables outside to sit. Would recommend to eat here

  • 5/5 Dancing S. 2 years ago on Google
    Strangely the best pizza ive had in ages, i eat a lot of pizza and for a pizza to stand out is pleasently surprising. Reccomend the 4 cheeses pizza for taste. Yes suprisingly, very excellent.

  • 5/5 Ofer F. 2 years ago on Google
    We had an awesome thin crust pizza and a delicious bowl of perfectly cooked gnocchi. The service was attentive and friendly. There are several outdoor tables as well as indoor dining. This is a great, quaint, reasonably priced restaurant in Casco Viejo.

  • 3/5 Jeff H. 2 years ago on Google
    Gotta rave about the Greek salad. Not traditional with lots of lettuce, actually no lettuce. Shredded peppers and onion with sliced cucumbers, it was great. Pizza not as good as I was expecting. Maybe I chose the wrong specialty pie. My service was BAD. I was ignored by the waitress and the place had only 1 other party at the time. Instead of enjoying another beer or 2 and taking my time, I got out of there frustrated.

  • 5/5 May 5 months ago on Google
    It was perfect. I walked around this part of the City and this Restaurant gave me exactly what I needed! I had a veggy Pizza to go and from the first bite it hit the right spot. It was crispy, fresh and full. I usually do not write reviews but this was just amazing. Thank you for making my day! Highly recommend PS: the people working there welcome you with a smile and really like their job! 10/10
