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 its live music, the joint really gets going after around 10pm each evening. Tip: You'd almost never know it because they don't advertise, but on the open-air second floor, there's a separate restaurant with a separate menu specializing in more traditional Thai and Vietnamese fare.

Note: This information was accurate when it was published, but can change without notice. Please be sure to confirm all rates and details directly with the companies in question before planning your trip.
