8.5/10Wonderful dinner, with high quality dishes, particularly beef meat. And the cocktail “C** che buono” was simply amazing. We didn’t appreciate the “dulce de leche” dessert, which was too sweet and tasted like a pudding. Service started great, with a super professional lady who explained us everything we needed and followed us until the main course… but with time they kind of get lost. We had to wait for long, standing, for our coats and the bill. At the end, the bill would have been perfectly coherent with the quality and taste and the main courses… but a bit too much for the others amenities. But we will be back, of course, to taste all the other kind of typical Cuban food!

10/10*****We adored this restaurant. Everything was absolutely top rate; from the cocktails to the food to the service to the ambience. Food was to die for; best grilled octopus and I’ve had it by the ocean side on several continents. Beef in the stew (owner’s recommendation) fell off the bone, sauces were divine; prawns were succulent and I have never had yucca like this ever. Fried perfectly but melted in your mouth! Chocolate flan.. wowza. We already thought we loved Cuban food, but this was truly extraordinary. Underrated at a 9.4. Reserve in the upstairs main dining room and don’t worry about the coupon. There is seating downstairs if you want to use the Fork Festival discount, but it’s totally worth extra to book the street level floor main dining room ahead of time. I’m sure the food will be just as good downstairs, but we enjoyed the more romantic ambience upstairs. It was Cuban decor, authentic feeling, I’ve not been to Cuba though I surely hope to go someday. Owner and chef is a fine artist as well; multi-talented like so many Cubans and his art is hanging on the wall.. His wife keeps things rolling at an extremely high level and the staff were fully attentive. We were celebrating a major wedding anniversary, and I could not have asked for a more special meal and setting. I’ve been to several Michelin star restaurants, and while this restaurant didn’t have the tiny little “fancy”, the food was so perfect I would choose this over those experiences. Just go, you will not regret.

9/10This is an adorable place! The staff is very professional and pay attention to detail. The food is top quality and therefore delicious. Great presentation as well. The only reservation I had was one of the desserts ( a cucchiaio- a spoon) It’s really a small amount on a spoon. To be honest I didn’t taste it so it might be just out of this world yummy! But I changed my dessert order when I saw the spoon -Sorry! Otherwise everything was perfect! Great atmosphere, great staff and awesome dishes!

9/10A perfect spot close to our home. Everything was exceptional. Delicious Crema di Ceci and Burrata. Perfect old fashion. My husband enjoyed the vitello with mashed potatoes. Presentation and atmosphere was very nice. Service was friendly and prompt. Planning to be a regular here.
