    I love this italian restaurant 🧡 Delicious foods and lovely food decoration 🌸 I can say it’s the best Italian restaurant in Panama 👍🏻 Also their modern industrial interior design is super awesome 🤩

    Unfortunately the experience was bellow our expectations. The onion soup was too salty. spinach ravioli with mushrooms was also disappointing, Even though the waiter told us this was a best seller. The only dish that was good, was the gnocchi. Service was also good, But I would not recommend this restaurant.

    Hands down the best Italian restaurant in the country. The genuine napolitano pizza is just one of the many authentic and high quality ingredient dishes available to choose from.

    It’s an amazing restaurant, brought 6 people and we waited 45 minutes. My son thought the pizza was great, and my daughter thought her pasta was amazing! The food came hot and fresh, and a great family experience. Coming back soon, thanks for everything!!

    Very pleasantly surprised by Casa Stizzoli in Panama City. Took an uber to what looked like a residential area but walked into a beautiful venue. Very cool looking bar and great gold and black decor throughout. Started with the Margerita pizza, Neopolitan style. It was amazing, very fresh ingredients, and perfectly baked in a wood burning oven. Never thought I would have some of the best pizza in South abbeys. Followed up with a rigatoni with lamb ragu. Absolutely delicious. Added a few espresso martinis and cappuccinos, everything was delightful. If you're in the mood for world class Italian, stop by Casa Stizzoli. You won't be disappointed.

    We were invited to the soft opening. The restaurant has a focus on top quality ingredients and traditional techniques. My Neapolitan pizza was done in an authentic style, with the char on the crust and D.O.C. ingredients. We should have shared the appetizers. They too were top quality and rich. The building is new and built for a lively and versatile future. There is a private dining/meeting room, and a covered outdoor patio, and a future roof top deck. This will be a destination restaurant very soon!

    The normal pizza, while good, was unremarkable. The pizza romana big and impressive but very forgettable. I had very high regard for Stizzoli when they started in the other venue, but this experience was very bland. Nothing to write home about. The food was definitely not worth the price. The staff was nice, that was the only highlight. I will not return.

    Been a fan ever since they opened ages ago @ the 12 Oct Plaza and this is a prime example of a restaurant that kept it's consistency and in fact got even better with Casa Stizzoli. All of their plates are good, starters, salads, soups, pasta (of course), pizza, risotto, deserts, heck, even the odd plate out like seafood or meat is good! Valet parking which takes that issue outta the equation and good service inside. The only thing that could be improved (and by this Im not saying it's bad hence the 5stars) is speed with the main dishes, just a tad bit faster would be great!

    Probably the best Italian restaurant in Panamá. In the wood oven you can try the Romain as well as the Neapolitan Pizzas -special recognition for the Paradiso. Pastas specially “a La Pastora” and the Calzone di Nutella are very worth it. Dedicated service.

  • 1/5 Julio J. 1 year ago on Google
    Prices do not justify service and food. The place is beautiful, yes. But everyone in our table and the table next to us had something wrong with their order. Too much salt, meat not cooked as requested, same with the salmon (they even mentioned they messed up the plate 2 times before thus arrived very late), the mashed potatoes use basic to low quality potatoes. The risotto was too salty, too long of a wait so I didn't bother asking for it correctly. I don't know if the waiters were poorly trained, or if they were short staffed, but either way it was a wait to get one to come. Watch your knees when you sit down, the design of the table makes the bottom base lay low also someone ripped their shirt because it hooked on the able, and don't sit on the bench againt the wall, extremely uncomfortable seat. The pizza looked mad good, but I would never know because I never got mine. Waited for my receipt for 10 minutes, eventually left without it.

    We went twice in the last few weeks. The first time was great but last night the food was very poor. Stick with the pasta dishes they seen to be the best option. The steaks we had were awful as was the beef carpaccio before it and the coffee was served cold.

  • 4/5 Basilio B. 2 years ago on Google
    Friendly welcome, very nice place, well decorated and good lighting, service was top of the class. My only concern were the menu choices for fish and chicken. The jumbo shrimps were very tasty and simply delicious. The side dishes variety could include rice or French fries or similar...

  • 5/5 Adeel G. 2 years ago on Google
    Strictly speaking about pizzas, they offer 3 different types of dough and the pizzas themselves are made using very fresh and tasty ingredients. This results in some very unique flavors. Now, the staff's attention and the ambience were also top notch. Regarding price, it is a little on the pricier side to be honest.

  • 5/5 Jeffrey M. 2 years ago on Google
    My new favorite Italian restaurant. The ambience and service were on point. The food was delicious, subtle and just the right amount. We tried six things: two appetizers, an entree, salad, pizza and a scrumptious Tiramisu. From the cold squid spiders to the creamy dessert, we were in Italian heaven. Can’t go wrong here: Mangia!

  • 5/5 Jim A. 1 year ago on Google
    I liked everything about this place, starting with the decorations the industrial look with bricks and the gorgeous simple leaf arrangements at the bar. Service was excellent, everything we tried was delicious, we had the burrata as an entree, the risotto Nero di Sepia this was our favorite, we also had de Ischia pasta with lobster, and the tiramisu. Good value for your money and perfect location its close to Multiplaza.

    Excellent pasta and pizza in the heart of Panama City! We've been twice now, and both times have been wonderful.

  • 1/5 Anna G. 1 year ago on Google
    Horrible experience! We had a birthday celebration and the restaurant made ZERO effort to go buy candles to any chinito nearby. Next thing we knew another table had no candles for their birthday. Food was only ok and the service left much to desire. Bad food and Bad service. Manager Joan was very disapointing, borderline disrespectful with us. I cant believe this place has a 4.6 rating it is deceiving.

  • 3/5 jason m. 7 months ago on Google
    Best Italian food in Panama. Great vibe and really good food… Updated review: Have been coming here for a long time, still live the food and the place. Don’t any longer enjoy the bill. How can it be to come and eat here and drink a bottle of wine and it’s almost $300… It has raised its prices so much, I no longer want to go. Sorry, time to find a new pizza / pasta place in the City!

  • 4/5 Reinaldo De O. 8 months ago on Google
    Quality food, some dishes have flaws but in general it’s outstanding. Service could be better and prices are on the higher tier, but considering what you can find around let’s say they hit the mark

    Amazing. The food, the service, the ambiance were all top notch. The chef came to our table to make sure we were happy with the food and they were so gracious about letting me substitute some of the ingredients in my pasta order as I am vegetarian. I love this place!

  • 1/5 Jose R. 4 years ago on Google
    I don't recommend this place. The service is horrible. I made a complain to the manager because there was a price discrepancy. My friends ordered jumbo shrimp pasta for 18, I ordered jumbo shrimp "Al ajillo" for 23. You would expect that more expensive would be a larger plate, but no it give you less and smaller shrimps. I told this to the management, they completely ignored my complain. This place is not worth going, the food is not even that special. Same quality better price can be find in other places.

    (Translated by Google) It really didn't go well with what we chose from the menu. The entrance of veal flakes with that tuna sauce on top had no consistency and the capresse salad with those cherry tomatoes nothing to do. The mozzarella itself is very rich. I ordered a pizza with arugula, vegetables, mushrooms and parmesan flakes and it wasn't good either, the vegetables lacked like salt. Pretty sad I would say. The tiramisu rich dessert, the wine too, the cappuccino and the lemon rich. I had been to this restaurant before and it had gone very well. (Original) La verdad no me fue bien con lo que elegimos del menú. La entrada de lascas de ternera con esa salsa de atún encima no tenía consistencia y la ensalada capresse con esos tomatitos cherry nada que ver. La mozzarella sí es muy rica. Pedí una pizza con arúgula, vegetales, hongos y lascas de parmesano y tampoco estaba buena, le faltaba como sal a los vegetales. Bastante triste diría yo. El postre tiramisú rico, el vino también, el capuchino y el limoncello ricos. Ya había ido antes a este restaurante y me había ido muy bien.
