Casa Caranta

Frommer's Review

Housed in a beautifully restored colonial-era house in downtown Pampatar, this creative restaurant is a must stop on any visit to Isla Margarita. Italy, Asia, and the Americas are the principal inspirations for the regularly changing menu, which is handwritten on a few large chalkboards and brought to your table. Options range from homemade pasta with shrimp and porcini mushrooms to fresh grouper in a green curry sauce. The excellent wine list is fairly priced. In fact, given the hefty size of the portions, this place is actually a bargain. With live music most nights, the joint really gets going after around 10pm each evening.
