    Ummm, WOW! This was hands down the best Italian food I have had in my life. I had a mushroom pasta that was to die for and left me wishing I lived in Panama so I could enjoy it more often. Everything about this restaurant is perfect — the atmosphere, staff, food. The owner/chef came out to give our table recommendations and he was just a delight to talk to, you could tell that he really cares about your experience at his restaurant. His young son made an appearance too, as the restaurant was closing, and he was just the sweetest, curly-haired little being. I hope the universe blesses this restaurant and the owner with the success it deserves.

    AMAZING! The staff was so friendly and took great care of us. I had grilled chicken parm with gluten free Penne pasta and it was the best Italian dish I've had in awhile. The restaurant is small and intimate, but very cute.

    (Translated by Google) Dare to try an excellent homemade Italian food, in a relaxing, romantic, warm, family atmosphere. Run by its own owners. I recommend the Da Stefano linguine, the Pasta al Forno with Italian chorizo ​​ragout and the Neapolitan beef milanesa, a depth of flavors that can only be achieved with slow cooking and the secrets of Nonna or Nonno. (Original) Anímese a probar una excelente comida italiana casera, en un ambiente relajante, romántico, cálido, familiar. Atendido por sus propios dueños. Recomiendo el linguini Da Stefano, la Pasta al Forno con Ragú de chorizo italiano y la milanesa de res a la napolitana, una profundidad de sabores que solo se logra con una cocción lenta y los secretos de la Nonna o el Nonno.

    The food was excellent. I tried a salmon and vodka farfulle and it was so creamy and savoury. A great combination of flavours. I recommend it if you want a home Italian food experience.

  • 4/5 Francisco R. 2 years ago on Google
    A very quiet place ideal for a special dinner, small but comfortable. The portions aren't big enough but still worth the money because the flavor is 5 stars.

  • 3/5 Alberto L. 2 years ago on Google
    A familia italian cuisine, good flavor, average service. Price over average.

  • 4/5 Kristy Y. 1 year ago on Google
    Lovely food and good service. However, we got there a little before 6pm and had to wait until they opened, even though we had made a reservation for 5:30pm 😅 The pasta was spectacular and portions were good. Tiramisu was okay-- not extraordinary.

  • 5/5 Lorie D. 9 months ago on Google
    Francisco was amazing and attentive and the food was excellent. He was very patient with our Español, as we just moved here from Ohio and are still learning the language. We recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for an authetic Italian dinner and romantic atmosphere.

  • 3/5 F B. 7 months ago on Google
    Average at best. Very friendly service but the food is below par. I can’t see us coming back.

  • 5/5 Reg T. 5 months ago on Google
    A little gem in Panama City. We simply stumbled upon this place and we could not have been more fortunate. Fantastic food and drinks. I had the salmon linguine and a sangria tinto. A well prepared and presented dish cooked to perfection.

  • 2/5 roberto la r. 5 months ago on Google
    Went there around 8/9 oct, dinner. Thought of just leaving it be and not coming back anymore. Now saw a review about the egg carbonara... well well... can't be true, or it was different chef, so I have to warn others. No way, chef is (or at least was that night) not Italian or not trained to cook well Italian food. Worst "carbonara" ever. A yellow thick glue sauce mixed with lots (too much) fried bacon and bacon, an unedible calory bomb that took me long to digest. The parmigiana was not bad but not a real one. Expensive but not worth it. Good thing, the attentive and accurate waiters, though they looked worried about something... foodwise i hope guess it was a bad night for the chef...

  • 5/5 Mike M. 5 years ago on Google
    Delicioso! Lucked into this place. Slow-cooked eggplant or zucchini parmigian (vegetarians) was the best we've eaten in a long time. Had excellent bruschetta with a really enjoyable creamier Parmesan cheese. If you have an Italian food craving, highly recommended. Slightly spendy but worth it.
