Our party of 10 had dinner here and the Italian food was excellent - very fresh, fairly innovative, with a wide range of options - we had a big sampling of appetizers and they were all delicious. The main courses were also delicious - we tried pastas, steaks, shellfish and all of it was great. The group's favorite dessert by... More

We tryed two different types of pasta, both of which... More

This beautiful hole in the wall was a fabulous find. We went there two days in a row becasue it was just that good. With a beautiful pool as the focal point, a wall of water, fresh flowers and lovely restored architecture make Vera a very welcoming place to spend the afternoon. The beef carpaccio was decadent as was the... More

The decor is amazing (minimalist). Very good food. Try the Spuma of Creme brûlée. Its the best! Service is good, price is a bit prohibitive (especially the wine list which starts at COP$100.000).

Back in Cartagena for 10 days so thought I'd give it another try. Reading the comments here I have to believe everyone writing reviews for this restaurant must be friends of Silvia Tcherassi and the chef or simply eat most of the meals at MacDonalds and Denny's. The food is simply uncreative and poorly presented. Italian ? This is not... More

This is the most expensive restaurant in Cartagena. Nothing to write home about. It's more like a trendy lounge bar than a restaurant.

We had a fantastic lunch here, the setting was incredible and the waiters were very attentive. After so many days of fish and ceviche we were craving salads, which were super fresh and wonderful. The inner courtyard setting is very quiet with the water features adding freshness and ambience. Sadly, we did not have time to come back for dinner,... More
