This has been one of the most popular restaurants in Caracas for more than 50 years. As befits a family-run institution, the place has an intimate feel, with low ceilings and dark-wood beams. Start with a carpaccio of beef or salmon, or a tapa of Spanish tortilla (a potato-and-egg omelet). Although everything's delicious, one specialty here is the piquillo peppers stuffed with your choice of grouper, squid, or bacalao (cod) in a tomato-based Vizcaina sauce. If you make it through the extensive menu with room to spare, try the homemade membrillo jam with Manchego cheese for dessert. They have another branch, Casa Urrutia (tel. 0212/993-9526; Metro: Las Mercedes) in the Las Mercedes district, at Calle Madrid and Calle Monterrey.

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.
Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.
The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
