Pastissima (Casco Antiguo)

Six of us had another fabulous dinner at Pastissima. The only "damper" on the experience was a large group (over 12) seated at a long table behind us. With the calicanto walls, the din was so great from the boisterous group that we had to cease conversation among us. Unfortunate that they did not have a Private Room in which to accomodate this large group. That being said (just an unusual and unfortunate occurence), the food was as good as ever. "Consistency" is the downfall of so very many restaurants and over the many months we have dined at Pastissimina (and we take guest there, as we did last night), the food and service quality has remained consistently high. Tried a new dish last night (the fettucini con tartufos) which I benchmarked in my mind to order again. Others variously ordered the primo osso buco, lamb chops, lasagne, risotto and corvina with a seafood medley on top. All delicious. For starters, we and others ordered the tomatoes with burrata con balsamic vinegre. Always good with the wonderful bread they bring to the table. Great wine selection. Excellent attentive and friendly service. Love this place. Hopefully next time we go--soon--it will be a bit quieter. ESSENTIAL to make a reservation (you can do so easily online via Degusta Panama).

Such a beautiful, intimate setting--love the calicanto walls, the beautiful bar--for a luscious dinner. We enjoyed everything... from the fresh ingenious green salad combination with tasty bread/ balsamic to the pastas/mains through the desserts. Special highlights were the tuna and the panna cotta; however, all was superlative: fresh, tender, well-seasoned, attractively presented. Great service, Found one of our favorite Spanish wines on the wine list. All reasonably priced and presented with efficient, unobtrusive, warm service. One of our newest neighborhood favorites.

Excelente atención y recibimiento, la comida exquisita, mas la recomendación en el día de los enamorados. Elvin fue nuestro mesero y nos tendio muy bien. Regresare!

¡Nunca te deja mal! He ido en muchísimas oportunidades y siempre es la mejor opción. Tanto de almuerzo o cena. Mis recomendaciones de entradas son las almejas y el pulpo. De plató principal definitivamente cualquiera de sus pastas.

Buena variedad de pastas, buenos refrescos, buen servicio pero falta estacionamiento, pero en general excelente en todos los sentidos n.
