(cozy & beautiful outdoor seating area) Live music Thursday - Sunday - located on Calle 26 between Avenida 10 and 5th street. Known for their delicious pizza, homemade pastas with fresh seafood, and fabulous risotto! If you’re craving steak, order their tagliata de manzo (tender cuts of filet) served on a bed of arugula. My favorite pizza is the “Sfiziosa” (which means the delicious one in Italian). Reservations not accepted - although if you give us advance notice - we can reserve a table for you ;) Tip: they have a small seating (waiting area) to the far left - you can order a pre-dinner Aperol Spritz or a glass of Montepulciano (Italian red wine of the Abruzzo region). ** Open daily ONLY for Dinner **
