Once again another great meal at Ciao Bella. The Caesar Salad was cold and crisp. And the caprese pizza was delish.

This was our third visit to Arrogante, and once again, we left thoroughly impressed. Each experience here has been consistently excellent — from ambiance to service to food. The dining rooms are tastefully decorated and well-lit, with crisp white tablecloths, plush upholstered booths, and chairs that soften ambient sound, creating a comfortable and refined atmosphere. The service continues to be outstanding — a rarity in Panama these days. Attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely warm. As with our previous visits, the food was spectacular. We began with the short rib arancini: crispy on the outside, cheesy and tender within, with richly flavored beef. I then had the pappardelle in a simple yet sublime pomodoro sauce — a dish I had been craving since our first visit. It did not disappoint. My wife ordered the spaghetti carbonara, which was among the best I’ve ever tasted. The sauce was perfectly creamy, with just the right amount of crisp guanciale to give it depth and texture. I also had the chicken cutlet Parmigiana — a standout. The cutlet was lightly breaded and fried to perfection, served without sauce so the crispness remained intact until the warm pomodoro and cheese were poured over at the table. Absolutely delicious. We’re already looking forward to our next visit to Arrogante.

Aroma was disappointing. I've been there before and have been pleased, but this time was not the same. I had my hopes up to have their excellent corvina Fillets in any way I could. But this time I was told they had no Corvina or any other fresh local fish available. Only imported prefrozen farm raised salmon that I won't eat anywhere. I was extremely disappointed. But I as there with my family and I didn't want to ruin the lunch. So I ordered a basic spaghetti with pomodoro sauce. And a Margherita pizza for my grandson. No effort or pride was in any of those two dishes. The service by the waiter was excellent he is not to blame. The management is. There is no excuse since we had the Resevation made many days in advance. I won't be going back.

My wife and I went out for a lazy Saturday afternoon dessert. We had been wanting to try La Vásquita for several weeks, and it did not disappoint. The standout was the service—absolutely fantastic. The cheesecakes were also superb. I had the classic burnt cheesecake with salted caramel sauce, and I loved it. It was smooth, not overly sweet, and the portion size matched the price. My wife had the pistachio cheesecake, which she also thoroughly enjoyed. We're already looking forward to coming back to try the other options.

Ricominciare was a disappointment. Perhaps we were expecting much more after all the hype surrounding the place. From the moment we arrived, things felt off. There was no formal greeting station—just a vague walk-in approach where we had to look around for someone to seat us. The tables were bare, without tablecloths. The ceilings and industrial air conditioning ducts were fully exposed, and a secondary entrance/exit leads directly into the office complex that houses the restaurant. Even the bathrooms were oddly located—outside the main dining area, near the entrance—with just one stall for men and one for women, and a shared outdoor double vanity. Once seated, no one attended to us. Two servers stood in front of us, engaged in a conversation, and we had to flag down another employee to take our order. We weren’t offered water, drinks, a wine list, or a cocktail menu—even though Ricominciare has a Negroni bar prominently displayed at the entrance. The server seemed unsure about our order, and I eventually suggested he write it down rather than rely on memory. The food began to arrive. We started with the Caprese and Caesar salads. Both were fine, but nothing memorable. The pasta courses followed. What should have been pappardelle or another rustic pasta was substituted with basic spaghetti. The pomodoro sauce was just that—basic. My wife’s ravioli carbonara, on the other hand, was good, and she enjoyed it. I had the roasted fresh fish of the day, served on a bed of cream sauce with thinly sliced, roasted eggplant, carrots, and zucchini. The fish was very good. For dessert, we tried the cannoli and the tiramisù. The cannoli were tasty but not something I’d return for. The tiramisù was lackluster and under-sweetened. Overall, the experience was underwhelming. Both my wife and I, independently, agreed we wouldn’t return to Ricominciare.

Perú Chicken in Costa del Este is a beautiful restaurant. The decoration and layout is really well thought out. The food is also great. The appetizer of Causa Chevichada was exactly what my Peruvian wife wanted and recieved. The Fish was fresh and the causa base was on point. The chaufa al aeropuerto was also excellent. Comfort food. The pollo a la brasa is spectacular! The value is there and we look forward to going back.

Bruma is a delight. Perfect location in Casco. Ideal to go in Uber since it is right at the entrance of Casco. My wife and I went for an early Sunday dinner and loved the place. The dining room is beautifully laid out and the device was sensational. The stand outs for us was the fresh amberjack Ceviche, Spicy Tuna Tartare, along with the classic Fish and Chips. All were great. The only thing that could have been better was the flan de café. In my humble opinion it needed to be thicker, creamier texture, and more caramel sauce to moisten the dense flan. But that will not deter us from going back.

The Fish sandwich is still great. Worth going only for that. The coleslaw is also very good. Prepared fresh upon ordering.

Be prepared to wait for a table. But the pizzas are worth it. Go for the pizza. The Margherita Pom D'oro was fantastic as well as the 4 stagione. The service is a bit rushed, tight, and the dining room is very loud.

We arrived earlier than the reservation, but was attended to very nicely. Started off with the salad bar and some chorizos. Then the main course of the Filete Mark for my wife and I and the Filete a la pimienta for my friend. The steak was tender and tasty. The roasted veggies on top were also very good. There is no way you can have a bad meal at Los Años Locos.
