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 "good". Not a lot of choices regarding meet cuts. Great pizzas. Good drinks. Sofia is a great great waiter. Always with a smile and kindness while she attends the table. Very good desserts, no doubt.

The service, food, and ambiance is unbeatable. Everything we had wowed us. From the guacamole appetizer to tacos de chicarrón, to the filet mignon. The guava dessert was mind blowing. And they had a band that set the mood perfectly!

The view , music , and service were superb, but the fish I was served was overcooked and inedible.
