We went just before heading back to Panama City. The food was super lovely. I ordered something not on the menu and the chef whipped up a beautiful clam pasta dish. Everything cooked fresh on site and a cheeky shot of something sweet. Authentic Italian restaurent. Recommend!

Absolutely excellent! Gourmet Italian restaurant! So nice to see a place like this on the main street of El Valle! One of the best restaurants in Panama and equal to top restaurants in Italy! The quality, freshness, and hospitality is 5 star! We were there for lunch. We had the pesto with fresh pasta, polpo salad, and fried polpo and calamari with a glass of wine and tiramisu. Total price $60 for the two of us. Completely worth it!

They were closed, when we called and stayed open for us. The chef is the nicest chef I ever met and just a really nice person. He cooked a special dish for our autistic child. Although he's not Italian, the food was top notch Italian. Simply great. Not the best decorated place but if your looking for amazing food and great service, go! Say hi to the chef

This is the ideal place to enjoy an original Italian pizza. Here the pizza is not drowned in a lake of cheap cheese but baked in the original wood-fired oven.

Improvised spaghetti with meatballs by combining the pasta and sauce with a side of Albondigas. Delicious! Fair prices. Decent service. Open air setting with ceiling fans. Memorable..

Delicious place for authentic Italian cuisine. Eggplant parmesan, gnocchi with blue cheese sauce, lemon pie and chocolate tart with cappuccinos were all divine. Ambience was perfect.

Nice restaurant, complied very well with all Covid measures. Ample space between tables. The Caprese di Burrata for 2 was a great starter. Home made pastas were very fresh and delicious. Don’t skip dessert! Very friendly service. Best meal in El Valle.

Excellent Italian cuisine, far exceeding our expectations. The gnocchi was a highlight, but everything was delicious. Prices were reasonable for the quality, with entrees averaging around $13-18. Great Aperol Spritz; maybe better than I’ve had in Italy! $5 for a glass of Sangiovese. Staff followed COVID protocols diligently and the entire restaurant is an open air dining room with ceiling fans to move the air. We will be back.

Pasta carbonara and pasta with shrimps with olive oil, roasted tomatoes and zuchini was delicious! Great service also.

Very good food and excellent service. The best Italian in the valley by far. I look forward to visiting the restaurant during my next visit to the valley !!

Excellent food and great service. Very clean, spacious and comfortable place. We'll be back!

I had the clams followed up with filet mignon. The chef has many years of experience and it really shows in both food quality and presentation. His restaurant is staffed by his beautiful family and they were awesome. I was very well taken care of and never felt rushed. I am looking forward to going back and also sharing Casa Florencia with my friends when they visit El Valle

Best Italian food ever tried outside of Italy itself.
Real Italian dishes prepared by a professional chef, the boss, Stefano, even called us to suggest some dishes and they were all super welcoming and polite.

Delicious bruschetta to start. Superb eggplant parmigiana as the main. And passion fruit juice as well. My favourite juice, and almost impossible to find elsewhere. So good!

We have been in the hospitality business for many years, which can be a blessing or a curse, and traveling in Central America for over 6 weeks. This place was a definite highlight. Was in Florence, Italy a year ago, and the restaurants there did not measure up to this Italian gem. The owner is a master of hospitality (won't say how or why, so its a surprise-trust me, just go!) Everything about this place is spot on. It is a little on the pricey side, but well worth every penny in our humble opinion. So refreshing to have great service too. Overall experience exceeded expectations. Well done!

Third time eating here and not the last, fabulous and delicious home quality REAL Italian food prepared with love as you were family. AND the best freshly made pasta and tersmasu, with a great selection of wines! ENJOY!

Super lovely!

A fantastic experience with great food for dinner! We started with an appetizer (ricotta cheese balls - so good!). We had 3 dishes (gnocchi, oso busco, and lemon chicken) brought out separately so we could all share and enjoy. Each dish was amazingly good and the desert was equally tasteful! This will be a place we come back regularly.

Locate on the main road at El Valle. Totally worth it. Pasta, lasagna, dessert, all great and fresh. You may want to call first to avoid a waiting line. The burrata and the lasagna are a gem. Chef is very kind and willing to accommodate your needs.

Absolutely excellent meal, friendly staff, and the langostinos in the cream sauce are fire 🔥!
