Excellent food quality and ambiance. Service was a bit difficult to find at times, and the bar was slow (yet excellent), but overall good service. We shared the burrata salad, which was more than adequate, and we could have shared a steak. We ended up with a net full steak as leftovers. Wine by the glass offering was outstanding. Lemon pie was easily shareable for 2-3 people, and scrumptious. An expensive evening compared to other options in town even if we were to reduce the price by one steak.

About the restaurant

De pronto como amantes de la cocina estamos necesitados de encontrar en nuestra ciudad un lugar acogedor, pequeño, de caras conocidas y cálidas. Un ambiente relajado y fresco, que no sea pretencioso, pero sí inspirador.
Tostévere con una propuesta de cocina ecléctica y ambiciosa, ha ido cumpliendo expectativas altas de comensales exigentes. Algo que puede caracterizar al lugar, es la cocina “honesta”, tal cual la describe Antonio, quien realizó el menú. Porciones y precios correctos. Ticket que no destaca por barato pero que con gusto acabas pagando: productos de calidad, cocina trabajada, servicio de excelencia y calidez.

Everything was great The music was mixed and at times too loud. More soft jazz type with piano would be better.
