Reviews Summary
Diners rave about the outstanding homemade pasta and flavorful dishes, often citing the quality and innovation. The relaxed ambiance and friendly service are frequently praised, creating a memorable dining experience.

"I ADORE this restaurant.
My partner and I came here two separate times on a Sunday for lunch and Sunday evening for dinner.
The staff are absolutely amazing. Both the times we went it was the same two waiters and they have the best service of any restaurant I’ve been to.
The food is fantastic. They do a lot of vegetarian options which I appreciated and the choice to have half pastas so me and my partner basically had a little pasta tapas going on trying them all! All the pasta was cooked to perfection with gorgeous sauces.
The fresh focaccia to start is a nice touch too.
They have a really nice selection of Bolivian wines and beers.
Honestly the best experience we had in Bolivia!"
Iona Jess Townsley
"Excellent food with tons of flavor. Friendly staff. Great atmosphere, playing classics like Ella Fitzgerald, Buena Vista Social Club artists Ibrahim Ferrer and Omara Portuondo. Corazones de la Señorita (butter lettuce), Mezzaluna, Caprese salad with watermelon, Gnudi, carrots, and Duo Kale are a few of my favorites."
Richard “Ric” Mangus
"I’ve eaten here three times and I always have a great experience. The mixed drinks are very well done and the scratch-made pasta is the best in La Paz."

Some of my favourite restaurants in La Paz are Ancestral, which cooks strictly Bolivian ingredients over open fires; Ali Pacha, which serves delicious vegan menus that adhere to using local products and is located in the old town; Propiedad Pública, a casual spot for fresh pasta and great wine; and La Rufina for when I have the urge to eat traditional dishes such as relleno de papa (fried beef and potato balls) and menudito, a meat and corn casserole.
