Un placer sin igual ...platos recién preparados , frescos , sabrosos. Una atención impecable!!!! Los mejores platos con frutos d mar en el norte !!!

Volví después de más de 20 años. Pedí lo que pedía cuando era un adolescente e iba a comer con mi familia . Hoy muchas de esas personas ya no están y sin embargo sentí junto a mi hermano y a su gran amigo Adelky González una sensación muy linda de compartir un almuerzo la verdad muy pero muy rico. Los vinos me parecieron un poco elevados elevados los precios. La comida riquísima.

Excelente todo. Vine de pasada por Formosa y comí en este lugar. Los platos acorde a los precios, buena porción y muy rico. Ambiente del lugar lindo, cómodo. Buena atención de los mozos. Volvería siempre.

Muy buen restaurante. Variedad de platos. Los pescados deliciosos. Muy buena atención. Lindo lugar y ambiente. Precio acorde.

No es un negocio vintage. Es genuinamente de otra época. Primero: las pastas son mundiales, especialmente al pesto. Después, el lugar. Propiamente de las viejas peliculas italianas o de lo que algunos vimos en la niñez de nuestros abuelos. El lugar respira autenticidad y está siempre lleno. Eso, y algunos mozos ya no tan mozos, complica un poco la atención. Si algún día me visitara Vittorio Gasman, lo llevaría a comer aquí.

The pacú fish grillee was big and delicious. Recommendable for people coming from Asuncion. Walking on Formosa downtown Saturday night is cool and safe, not like Asuncion at the same schedule.
