Best classic Italian food in all of Asunción! The environment is very relaxed, yet very upscale. The food is incredibly fresh and surprisingly well priced for such high quality cuisine. All herbs used are grown locally and picked fresh upon order. I would recommend 1688 to anyone in search of anything from a friends night out to a nice date night. You will not be disappointed with the food, customer service or experience!

(Translated by Google) Excellent service and good prices. The servers are super friendly. The very varied menu and the drink menu too. The food was delivered on time and the presentation was great. The beetroot risotto with Brie cheese and fresh arugula spectacular. I would definitely go back to 1688. (Original) Excelente atención y buenos precios. Los meseros súper cordiales. El menú muy variado y la carta de bebidas también. La comida la trajeron en tiempo y la presentación buenísima. El risotto de remolacha con queso Brie y rucula fresca espectacular. Volvería sin duda a 1688.

I’ve had nothing but excellent experiences here and this is my go-to date spot. The lomito shiitake is excellent and always cooked to perfection. The service is very attentive, as they stand ready for whatever your need when you wave them down. Highly recommend.

(Translated by Google) The place is very beautiful and good atmosphere. The presentation of the letter leaves much to be desired: very informal for the level of dishes presented. We ordered a beef steak and a beef cheek. The first came with an arugula mattress, which looked like the main course at the end: arugula with meat; and the beef eye cut into strips and with excess fat. The second dish came swimming in mashed potatoes: an excess of unnecessary garnish being that the star should be the meat. We pay dearly for eating "accompaniments." (Original) El lugar es muy bonito y ambientación buena. La presentación de la carta deja mucho que desear: muy informal para el nivel de platos presentados. Pedimos un hojo de bife y un cachete de res. El primero vino con un colchón de rúcula, que parecía al final el plato principal: rúcula con carne; y el ojo de bife cortado en tiritas y con exceso de grasa. El segundo plato vino nadando en puré de papas: un exceso de guarnición innecesario siendo que la estrella debería ser la carne. Pagamos caro por comer "acompañamientos".

If you are looking for a perfect date night, I recommend 1688 resto. My husband and I love their decoration, food, and DRINKS😆 Their food tastes basic but a well done basic in my opinion. Best Italian infused I would say out of all the wannabe Italian places in Asuncion and I go around and eat a lot. I dont have photos of food bc it was so good that i forgot to take photos . Their cocktails are so,so well made that we order different things just to taste all. Everything was good Except for one time the bread before the meal came out cold and wihout paste.... (pate) ??? Cold bread? But yeah price is good compared to the food. It was worth every gs. I am def going back again... and again!

(Translated by Google) Delicious all, homemade Italian pasta, the pizza is a must and they also have good drinks. A bit expensive but it's worth it. (Original) Delicioso todo, pasta casera italiana, la pizza es un must y también tienen buenos tragos. Un poco caro pero vale la pena.

Today's buffet was excellent - everything was delicious.

Excellent restaurant serving fantastic fresh food and great wine!

(Translated by Google) Excellent menu all very rich (Original) Excelentes menú todo muy rico

(Translated by Google) Very good ... environment, food and attention ... One of the best places to eat .. Prices, of course, are consistent with the quality of the service ... You pay with pleasure .. (Original) Muy bueno.. .ambiente, comida y atención.. Uno de los mejores lugares para comer.. Los precios, desde luego, están acordes con la calidad del servicio...

(Translated by Google) We had an unusual experience. We wanted to order the personal pizzas (which are on the menu) for 9 people, but it turned out that they restricted the order: "you could only order 4 pizzas per table". And they could not give us an explanation of why. We had to share the personal pizzas (the size of a plate) between 9. (Original) Tuvimos una experiencia insólita. Quisimos ordenar las pizzas personales (que están en la carta) para 9 personas, pero resultó que nos restringieron la orden: “solo se podía ordenar 4 pizzas por mesa”. Y no pudieron darnos una explicación del porqué. Tuvimos que compartir las pizzas personales (del tamaño de un plato) entre los 9.

(Translated by Google) I made the reservation in the place, we arrived with a group of friends we looked at the menu and ordered pizzas for dinner and they told us that you can not order more than 4 pizzas (personal) per table (there were 9 people), "we had to warn or make the order when the reservation was made "being that we did not know yet that we were going to ask for dinner, likewise we ordered the 4 pizzas which arrived cold. They must improve the service and specify in any case when a person makes the reservation about the consumption of certain menus. (Original) Hice la reserva en el lugar, llegamos con un grupo de amigos miramos la carta y pedimos pizzas para cenar y nos dijeron que no se puede pedir más de 4 pizzas (personales) por mesa ( éramos 9 personas), “teníamos que avisar o hacer el pedido cuando se realizó la reserva” siendo que no sabíamos aún que íbamos a pedir para cenar, de igual forma pedimos las 4 pizzas las cuáles llegaron frías. Deben mejorar el servicio de atención y especificar en todo caso cuando una persona realiza la reserva sobre la consumición de ciertos menús.

(Translated by Google) They should warn you in advance that there is a limited amount of products per table because that is a problem when you go to the place among many people (group of friends, family) because they leave you with the bad experience of staying with the desire to drink. It translates into a bad pass. (Original) Deberían de avisar con antelación que existe una cantidad limitada de los productos por mesa porque eso supone un problema cuando vas al lugar entre muchas personas (grupo de amigos, familiares) porque te dejan con la mala experiencia de quedarte con las ganas de consumición que se traduce en un mal pasar.

(Translated by Google) The lamb with rice looked like soup. The pesto noodles were tasty but the cream cheese was cold. Lasagna aguachentas (Original) El cordero con arroz parecía una sopa. Los tallarines al pesto sabrosos pero la crema de queso estaba fria. Las lasañas aguachentas

Todo es delicioso! La atención excelente, el lugar es hermoso bien ambientado 🥰

Me gustó mucho el lugar en si, muy bien puesto, ademas de estar preparado para tema pandemia, mesas separadas en salón y un patio muy lindo. Muy bueno todo, en especial pancito antes del antipasto, y la sutil, picor justo de la salsa picante. Con buen ajo. La mezzaluna muy buena, cocción justa, se notan la calabaza y ricotta con el acompamiento de salsa de hongos. Mi lasagna, jugosa, buena salsa, la verdad impecable. LA BIRRA HELADA! y por supuesto el servicio tm muy atentos, amables y rápidos

Comfortable relaxing environment, it feels cozy bit at the same time special. Cocktails down to dessert were fun and delicious. We are definitely coming back.

Drink: Míguela Dinner: La scala. Delicious

One of the best restaurants in Asuncion. The young female chef keeps getting better as she hones her craft. Complimenti

Good drinks, italian food. I recommend 'La rosada' and porchetta

Limited menu, but good . The pizza dough was a lilbit undercook .

Great service and great food. Only possible complaint was that the wine pour was a little small, but otherwise a fabulous experience.

Nice place, very delicious.

I only leave 2 grades for a review: “Needs Improvement” or “Outstanding Performance”. 1688 is the top restaurant in Asuncion. OUTSTANDING FOOD AND AMBIANCE. They ‘break borders’ : Uruguayan wine on the list (see photo). Intricate menu - started with appetizers (had croquettes with lingua) but I specifically came for farm duck pâté with bread, of course. The rest is in the pics.

Good place for dinning

(Translated by Google) Variety of prices for all tastes. Super organic food of natural origin, you feel the difference. Their drink bar is one of the best I know of. I loved! Definitely to return. Don't forget to try the pizza! (Original) Variedad de precios para todos los gustos. Comida súper orgánica y de procedencia natural, se siente la diferencia.

(Translated by Google) The place is nice, but very small. The care completely neglected, it took 30 minutes to give us a table, and in the end the one they gave us was dirty and we had to sit down and wait to be cleaned. The noodles were not well cooked - I don't have photos of the other dish I ate but the meat medallions they used were half hard. (Original) El lugar es lindo, pero muy pequeño. La atención totalmente descuidada, tardaron 30 minutos en darnos una mesa, y al final la que nos dieron estaba sucia y tuvimos que sentarnos a esperar que limpien. Los fideos no estaban bien cocinados 🤢🤢no tengo fotos del otro plato que comí pero era medio duro los medallones de carne que usaron.

(Translated by Google) Variety of food in dishes (Original) Variedad de comida en platillos

(Translated by Google) Nice restaurant and has a variety of dishes and very rich. My attention was drawn to the proportions between dishes was a bit weird my wife ordered a pasta and I a meat and to have a similar price the pasta seemed less. (Original) Lindo restaurante y tiene variedad en los platosy muy ricos. Me llamo la atención las proporciones entre platos era un poco rara mi esposa pidió una pasta y yo una carne y para tener un precio similar la pasta parecía menos.

(Translated by Google) Without a doubt one of the best places in Asunción. Everything is delicious and the bar service is phenomenal. (Original) Sin lugar a dudas uno de los mejores locales de Asunción. Todo es delicioso y el servicio de barra es fenomenal.

(Translated by Google) Reverend crap, overrated, inedible salt food. We told the waiter that the dishes we ordered were very salty and he took 1 to the kitchen, returning shortly afterwards just to tell us what he was told in the kitchen that he was ready, without offering any changes or solutions. All in the presence of the "cheff" who arrogantly only smiled mockingly, without telling us a single word of apology or offering any solution. Above they wanted to charge us one of the dishes. The cook lacks humility to receive criticism and teach her young man to be more respectful. (Original) Un reverenda porquería, sobrevalorado, comida incomible de salada. Le dijimos al mozo que estaban muy salados los platos que pedimos y llevó 1 a la cocina volviendo al poco tiempo solo para decirnos que le dijeron en la cocina que estaba en su punto, sin ofrecernos ningún cambió ni solución. Todo en presencia de la "cheff" que de forma soberbia solo sonrió burlonamente, sin decirnos una sola palabra ni de disculpas ni ofreciendo alguna solución. Encima quisieron cobrarnos uno de los platos. Le falta humildad a la cocinera para recibir las criticas y enseñar a su mozo a ser mas respetuoso.

(Translated by Google) Very good place, good food and excellent drinks, but attention to oblivion. We turned off the light so that we left the place, they brought us the bill without asking, the kitchen and the bar close at 11pm, all this on a Saturday night, unfortunate. If you want to go out with friends for a good Saturday night, this is definitely not the place. (Original) Muy buen lugar, buena comida y excelentes tragos, pero la atención para el olvido. Nos apagaron la luz para que nos retiremos del lugar , nos trajeron la cuenta sin pedir, la cocina y la barra cierran a las 23:00, todo esto un sabado por la noche, lamentable. Si quieres salir con amigos a pasar bien un sabado de noche, definitivamente este no es el lugar.
