We chose to have dinner here on the last day of our trip in Panama. And it was one of the best restaurants we've tried in Panama. The ambiance and view was great and the food was excellent. We ordered the Mixed Seafood Grill and the Fileto Al Gusto. The food portion was quite big and had a nice presentation. The only disappointment was the premium dessert listed on the menus were not available. We ended up ordering the Pannacotta and liked it.

Nice location. We should have arrived a little early to see the sunset...open place. The food is outstanding, perfect cooking, delicate dressing. Service is attentive without being invasive. Fast, educate and focused. This restaurant could be located anywhere in the world and still would be praised. If one thing not as good can be said is that it is inside a hotel and access is a little long. Other than that, excellent.

Very nice place right on the water with amazing views and delicious food. We visited Panama City in May 2023, and unlike some other upscale places we've been in Panama, service here was great, very attentive, and understanding. Food was delicious, from salads and appetizers to main courses and deserts. I wish that drinks would have been a bit stronger, but that's how they make more money, and they are not the only ones guilty of that. Anyway, we would definitely come here again on our next trip.

Pricy and not great.... High prices and still do not pay their suppliers.

Our first place to eat after arriving in Panama. All in my group were impressed with the food and the portion sizes. All 3 kids tried new foods and even shared with each other, no small feat accomplished there. Service was superior. I dropped my knife and before i could reach to get it, i had a replacement set brought by 2 waiters and the dirty one was whisked away. My only tiny complaint was the music played my the DJ was fairly loud and we were sat right by the speaker so communication was a but harder than usual bur we still had a fantastic meal. We will eat there again!

Has made a reservation here for my birthday and as soon as we checked in with the host they acknowledged my birthday which was a nice touch. We got to our table and it had a reserved sign on it which was a nice touch. We sat right on the end next to the water with great views. Service was ok. I got the lobster pasta and it had really great flavor. Very pricy but I thought the food and atmosphere were worth it.

(Translated by Google) They were customers of the restaurant for 5 years. We will never go back to that! The guard is rude to customers, aggressive. I was amazed at how it was possible to hire such a person. It is dangerous for customers. (Original) Fueron clientes del restaurante durante 5 años. ¡Nunca volveremos a eso! El guardia es grosero con los clientes, agresivo. Me sorprendió cómo era posible contratar a una persona así. Es peligroso para los clientes.

We have been to Maito twice during our 2 visits to Panama and both occasions we had the Tasting Menu with pairing. I must say the first time it was great. the food and the service. The second time it was OK nothing special. The restaurant doesn't even recognize returning customers. Think they need a menu change soon. Service has gone down a lot since our first visit in March. I can clearly see why they have gone down in the Top 50 Latin American Restaurant ranking.

This restaurant is rated in the 50 best restaurants in Latin America. It met up to our expectations. We sat outdoors in the patio and the garden was very tropical with banana plants and papaya trees We signed up for their email and got a free cocktail, made from fresh peaches, gin and cider. We had the pulled pork appetizer which was very flavorful. For the entree we had the sea bass in a sweet and sour sauce and the spare ribs that were so moist it was coming off the bone. They give you a free bread basket. For dessert we shared the lemon pie which had lemon sorbetto in it.

The ambiance of Maito is great. The outdoor patio setting is a calming space in the heat and bustle of Panama City. The food however is just okay. We had the tuna tartare, the beef empanadas, the short rib dumpling, and the fish of the day. The tuna tartare with the passion fruit sauce was the best item of the night. My only complaint is I wish it had more sauce, as most of the flavor came from the passion fruit sauce. The empanadas were good, but nothing special. They tasted just as good as anything I got off the street. I was most excited for the short rib dumplings, but ended up not impressed. Not much flavor in the dish, although the texture was great. The fish of the Day was cooked perfectly but again, it was missing that punch. More salt, pepper, lemon would have been good. For dessert we had the tres leches cake, which was very tasty but very sweet. Overall, the food was good, but not great. For a restaurant on the worlds top list, I expected more from the food. The service was fine, but at a restaurant at this level I do expect more. The server asked us what we wanted to order and then after the fact told us there were also specials of the day. I wish he had told us this before we decided what we wanted to order. Same for dessert, there was no menu describing the items and his memory wasn’t the best so we were confused as to what was being offered. I like what Maito is trying to do, but I just don’t think it’s worth the hype.

This Italian restaurant is located in The Ocean Club mall and I highly recommend visiting if you are in Panama. The pulpo was fresh and prepared perfectly. One of my top pulpo restaurants. Drinks were nicely made. Try their sangria, one of the better sangrias I have had since I was in Spain.

Adding to my review below, I have to thank La Vespa for making my recent birthday extra special! When the singer called out my name to sing a special happy birthday to me I almost fell off my seat and then when the wait staff came out with tiramisu and a sparkler and sang to me again it just made my day and my night! I can’t say enough good things about this restaurant! La Vespa is my favorite restaurant in all of Panama City. The food is outstanding consistently, the ambiance with the open air feel and view out over the Pacific is unbeatable and the service is always top-notch, something that is not easy to find there. Nothing beats a ribeye gigante and a bottle of good red wine in a table next to the sea if you’re in the mood for romance! But you can’t go wrong whether it’s pasta, pizza, meat or seafood that suits your mood. This place has my absolute highest endorsement!

Nice ambiance and the pastas that we had were very good.

Service was slow and inconsistent. We had to talk to a few people to get what we wanted, had to follow up when one of the foods didn't arrive and apparently they missed it. The table was full of dishes and no waiter was cleaning up. I had to offload to the next table. No follow up on how things are going or offering a dessert menu. Definitely NOT recommended. Poor management as well. 2 star for the effort.

We read all the great reviews and visited to dine. However, the food was highly disappointing. We ordered the spaghetti with seafood and the fish fillet with vegetables and salad. Both the main dishes had a bland taste (no fresh tomatoes but plain paste) and were too salty. The salad though was fresh but lacked a balanced dressing. The view and atmosphere was pleasant but could not make up for the bad food... We also wanted to try the pizza but they told us it was not available...

Indeed one of Panama’s top restaurants. Great food, great service!

Great vibe for a pizza Friday with my love. Service is outstanding. Food was excellent.

Woooo ! What a place! Service excellent well trained , Jesus taking care of us with Jefferson and one more guy just jump in to pour our wine for us .what a surprise there is not much place happening like that ! The fogacha beef carpaccio to die for and tortellini Emiliana hmmm… what a good choice! Come and visit you will be amazed!

Nice place at a nice location but the food was tasteless. We ordered spaghetti with sea food and the taste was flat and too salty. There were no spices in the spaghetti such as basil, garlic, oregano, just a flat tomato sauce. A simple over-the-counter sauce from any supermarket would have given it a better taste. Also, they did not serve any breadbasket to supplement our meal. This restaurant is too expensive for the meal you will expect to get, they need to hire a real Italian Chef.

Their food was amazing and their service was great and their staff service was also friendly

Delicious food, and excellent service! :)

Great view, amazing food! A bit pricey but you get what you pay for.

We had the best experience at this restaurant we have had in a long time! atmosphere - all tables are outside on a terrace with views of the ocean to the south and the east city skyline. The restaurant is well set with tables available for large or small groups. food quality - every morsel of food we consumed was beyond expectations. Our amazing waiter Marco made several recommendations from the menu and they were all delicious. We started with a fresh cut and cured leg of ham, that was cut up right at the table, paired with a Spanish red wine. Then for the mains we enjoyed the seafood platter and fresh ravioli with truffle. service - Marco made us feel right at home and all staff was attentive and helpful with several selections along the way. Timeliness- the timing of everything was great. Our appetizer was served at the table within minutes of ordering and our mains came out a couple minutes after finishing our appetizer. We did not feel rushed at any time and sat at our table for several hours to enjoy some digestives and port bang for your buck - after ordering what felt like everything in the menu and several different drinks our bill was still under $200 ( if you are just ordering food, you could easily eat here for $50 so dont let our bill scare you) Wifi is available and they are happy to provide the password Engish Language - since we do not speak any Spanish at all it was nice to know that the serving staff all speak clear English special mentions - Marco made sure to make our night enjoyable and kept the mood light and entertaining. Loved all of his recommendations

Good food, good atmosphere with some beautiful people, good and friendly service. Location on the sea is also really pleasant. Good place to go for lunches and dinners.

Our go-to place when we have friends visit! Food is excellent and service is top notch! We highly recommend the grilled seafood platter! It is outstanding! They say its good for 3 people but it was huge! I'd say it's good for 4 or 5 people!

Great food and service. Very spacious. Easy parking.

La Vespa, made an already incredible trip magical.

The best Carimañolas & Sancocho in town. A few dishes have a subtle smoke that accentuates the flavors. Service was superb thanks to Guillermo.

Amazing food. As a family we had appetizers (Octopus, Short Rib Dumplings, Pork Taquitos, Tuna Ceviche), Entres (Glazed Salmos w Couscous, Filete and Mongolian Short Ribs) and Dessert (Chocolate Cake and Lemon Pie). All were amazing. There is a reason this place is ranked as one of the top restaurants in Panama City and all of Latin America. Would love to come back.

Simple and impressive. Great flavors and attention. First time around in Panamá and got this great surprise of flavors. Great Gin Tonics too.

Great ambiance, good food!

A kind of family style meal featuring a wide variety of Panamanian food. Because of the size of our group they brought us a variety of appetizers. The German/US/Spanish/Panamanian wine steward knew her stuff and acted as a translator with the rest of the staff who were very attentive. The food was excellent and we all had a very relaxed meal.

Delicious food and great service. The staff was terrific at helping us order since our Spanish is very poor.

Wow. Great food. Very accommodating location....

Went to Maito a couple of days ago to celebrate our anniversary. What an amazing restaurant! My wife and I are vegetarians. the chef customized tasting menu for us. It was very delicious. Each course was exquisite. Service was great as well. Will definitely visit again.

We asked for vegetarian tasting menu and it was an awesome experience. Everything that was served was full of flavour. Food was delicious and service was impeccable.

(Translated by Google) Great restaurant (Original) Great restaurant

Id give it 3 or 4 stars if it was cheaper and didn't have such a reputation for being such a great culinary experience. The wine list is very lacking for by the glass at 2 reds, 2 whites and a sparkling. If they offered a pairing option with the tasting menu they could create a situation where A- they have a tasting option, obviously, and B- you could create your own or C- again obviously, you just have more choice. Traveling around central America it's fine and expected to have less choice, especially in wine, but when your restaurant is listed in publications as the best in Panama or possibly the best in central America and occasionally even in the conversation of world lists you need options for your diners. Maybe argue that it's better to pair locally produced libations at Maito, so not wine, to go with the locally inspired menu, awesome, I would love that, but this place was lazy. The server didn't want us ordering the degustacion at 830 because it's like 12 courses, ok, then put that in the reservations programming to inform patrons. The "maître d" suggested the bottle of orange wine to pair with the degustacion that we both ordered (because it's what we came for) which was an ok pairing, it worked, but the hipster element of it he overconfidently expected to enchant us with was undermined by our experience in dining and you could tell it's the wine he commonly recommends to tables for the degustacion that look like they aren't going to spend a small fortune on a bottle. We probably would've even ordered a glass of orange wine from the non existent by the glass wine menu, but it's not what you want for 12 courses and you also don't want to get drunk trying to get through it because you want to be sober enough to properly experience the culinary journey. Of course, we did switch to the other limited by the glass options, eventually. We were the least dressed up people there and looked a bit out of place and like we would be easily impressed in this place, but we were most likely the most restaurant knowledgable clients there that night Haha. The food itself was ok. Nothing was so yummy you won't forget it and you just have to tell everyone about it. Presentation was very basic, which is fine, but then you need delicious flavors, sometimes fun presentations and interactive/creative courses can help make up for just ok food, but I prefer amazing food in these places if I have to choose, but both is best, Maito had neither. Don't try to read something into this review that doesn't exist, i.e, it's not a bitter review from someone insulted by the service (I actually enjoy the irony of being erroneously assumed that I'll be easily impressed, indeed, I have some ego when it comes to the stuff I know Haha), I intend to be fair, honest and helpful in that I hope my words could have either clients from the biz realize they can save a night like this for a different place, or, maybe Maito will try harder. Perhaps they've lost some of the magic if they ever had any. In a word, again, LAZY. There's a lot of competition popping up around Panama city. Work harder.

(Translated by Google) I tried the tasting menu and it's ok. The attention since we arrived was not the best. There was no one to meet us once at the entrance, rather the first thing we saw was a dirty disposable plate. When explaining the dishes, the boy had no knowledge to explain them and many times I was waiting for more information. They didn't give us napkins at first, I had to order them on the third tasting plate when I realized that they didn't plan on giving it to me. At the time of giving me the cutlery they did not put them on a napkin and my place was under an outdoor tree all day and I find it a bit unhygienic. To be a tasting menu, of the 10/12 dishes (I don't remember how many they were) 3 dishes were bad, without technique and without flavor. Another 3 were very good and the remaining normal. (Original) Probé el menú de degustación y esta bien. La atención desde que llegamos no fue la mejor. No había nadie para recibirnos una vez en la entrada, más bien lo primero que vimos fue un plato desechable sucio. A la hora de explicar los platos, el muchacho no tenía conocimiento para explicarlos y muchas veces me quedé esperando por más información. No nos dieron servilletas al principio, tuve que pedirlas en el tercer plato de degustación cuando me di cuenta que no planeaban en darmela. A la hora de darme los cubiertos no me los pusieron encima de una servilleta y mi puesto estaba debajo de un árbol al aire libre todo el día y me parece un poco anti higiénico. Para ser un menú degustación, de los 10/12 platos (no recuerdo cuántos eran) 3 platos estuvieron malos, sin técnica y sin sabor. Otros 3 fueron muy MUY buenos y los restantes normales.

Delicious restaurant.. great service.. amazing food (even though very greasy and a little tough to digest) and wonderful wine selection. The restaurant has a nice big outdoor area / terrace which I felt could use a bit more TLC, especially for a place that positions itself as upscale.. (garbage bins visible.. not many plants..) but still, preferred it to the AC indoors. Taste of the food well worth the visit, but maybe plan for an early dinner given the heaviness of the food?

(Translated by Google) Excellent place to eat (Original) Excelente lugar para comer

I'll start off by saying that maybe my palate is not the best when it comes to Panamanian dishes. However, I have been to a few Michelin star restaurants and all of them put this place to shame. I was disappointed, especially for the price. Paying the same price in the states for a meal would give me better food. The desserts we're good, and I liked a few of the dishes, a few others I couldn't finish eating. The first thing they served was a broth... It tasted legitimately like salty, boiled hotdog water. Huge disappointment, I would not recommend. I should add that the staff was extremely professional and helpful.

Excellent service and rum selection. The food was interesting and well crafted. Serving sizes are small.

Very nice, going back in a couple days. Nice fusion of local and international dishes. Worth the visit.

Great meal with great drinks. Nice area on the coast line. Marco as our waiter was very friendly and made sure we were satisfied the entire time.

The view is amazing. This is the best flan I have ever had! I will definitely tell everyone about this restaurant. Oh, I forgot, the food is just as amazing as the view! I could wat here every day!

11 Mar 2020: This is our favorite restaurant in Panama. Awesome location with views of Costa Del Este and Ocean Reef Islands. Food, atmosphere and service is consistently excellent with English speaking servers. 28 Oct 2020: Visited again this evening, and hands down this is the best restaurant in Panama City. Everything was perfect.

I ordered a dry martini with 3 olives. I honestly expected the olives to be of better quality coming from a place that promotes having fresh ingredients. I decided because of this to order a simple dish so i ordered the margherita pizza. I was not particularly impressed with the presentation or the taste. I do believe its possible i may have ordered the wrong dish and may return for the pasta but for what they charge for the meals i did not want to risk ordering an expensive dish that i did not like.

Absolutely delicious!! Service was great, nothing bad to say, you need to try it. You will be very happy you did. I highly recommend it.

Awesome italian, fresh pasta and good sauces.

Probably one of the best services and seafood in the World. The view is breathtaking, good selection of wines, and the overall experience is astonishing.

We love this spot. Returned yesterday after 3 years and it is just as good as the last time! This restaurant has stood the test of time and the views are amazing!

Excellent place and so beautiful. The food is amazing.

Food is amazing, atmosphere and view is great. Service is a bit lad back, although when I arrived the place was still pretty empty. Later on it got pretty busy and service remained pretty much the same. I noticed a waitress named Camila, she seemed to work the hardest, was very attentive and had the sweetest personality.

Really good food with a great view. I had the Cobia Fillet and Octopus...just one word is needed to describe the food...wow. If you are staying at JW Marriott Panama make sure you visit this restaurant.

I have had the pleasure to eat at many excellent restaurants all over the world in the last 20 years this Italian is one of my top 5 favorites anywhere. Amazing food, fantastic and attentive staff and one the best water level sea views in Panamá. My favorite time is at sunset. Highly recommend

We were cordially and warmly greeted. Our view was somewhat obstructed but the atmosphere and entertainment were lively. Our female server was not very attentive nor did she have a great fund of knowledge despite the confidence she attempted to portray. She disappeared for long periods of times and her male co-workers ended up being more attentive and helpful than she was. We were enthusiastic to have the lobster but they were out of lobster (this was at 7:30 pm on a Saturday-Sept 3-, mind you). Because of the lackluster service and the lack of seafood (lobster) at a seafood restaurant, I would rate this as 4 stars at the most.

Great restaurant.. great food and exceptional service. The only missing item.. offering champagne by glass...

We were in Panama for a two weeks and eat in many places. Most of them were really good, we had there a great time and we are grateful for the their service. The last night of our holiday was in Italian restaurant Vespa in JW Marriott hotel. That threw all previous experiences in the the water. Beside our fabulous dinner (we are a bit complicated with our vegan lifestyle) but our waiter Marco made it much more memorable with his great service and friendly approach. We absolutely recommend this restaurant for any reason and any occasion.

Food and view are nice, convenient if your staying that the trump/jw marriot but the prices are kinda high

Great location, by the water, excellent food and friendly service. Great place for dinner with a cool sea breeze. Took one star out because it took way too long to get our food, but when it arrived it was delicious.

This restaurant has nice views and a romantic ambience. However, I ordered 2 dishes that fair missed the mark. Salmon, potatoes and asparagus- this dish had soupy mashed potatoes. I sent it back. Then I ordered lobster ravioli- it was 3 4x4 pasta sheets (yes you read that right) and chopped up lobster bits with tomatoes and sauce on top. I was disenchanted to say the least. I still paid 🙄 though my appetite was diminished- I don’t speak enough Spanish to even attempt to plead my case to the manager. Panamas BEST restaurants are in the city, not at the hotels- just a heads up!
