Frommer's Review
A small neon sign and a doorman mark the entrance to this hidden restaurant that serves up some of the largest and tastiest platters in Havana. Los Nardos, run by a cooperative, can be found on the top floor in the arches next to the Sala Kid Chocolate, conveniently located in the center of town opposite the Capitolio. Dine by candlelight -- at lunch time and in the evening -- on large wooden tables accompanied by a live band. The walls are impressively lined with wine vaults and trophies; colored-glass windows with candlelight cast an attractive light across the room. The servings of food are enormous: huge lobster platters or chicken with plenty of vegetables at very reasonable prices. Those who can't manage to finish the meal may take the leftovers home with them. It's extremely popular and you will almost always have to wait a short while to get served.

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.
