I knew I had to come back on my second trip to the island. Delicious pizza! Hot, fresh, great cheese pull! All fresh ingredients. Service very friendly! I ordered a personal size pizza -La Selva.

Arrived, and it was done! Inside of the restaurant was clean and the workers were friendly. The pizza was decent. I wish it had more sauce and flavor tho. The place offers a lot more unique toppings like shrimp and avocado, than I am used too. Will def come back and try another soon.

Luckily, there was a gentleman outside directing people in, otherwise we may have walked right past it. Once you climb the two flights of stairs, you're rewarded with a beautiful dining space. The restaurant has a rustic, old-world charm with gorgeous décor and an Italian-inspired atmosphere. It immediately felt warm and inviting. There were four of us dining, and we started with two appetizers: the Setas Rellenas and the Chorizo al Vino. Both were excellent, but the Chorizo al Vino was my absolute favorite--absolutely delicious! For my entrée, I ordered the chicken lasagna. I expected chunks of chicken, but it was made with shredded chicken, and wow--it was incredible. The flavor was outstanding, and it ended up being one of my favorite meals of our trip. My husband ordered the beef lasagna, which was also made with shredded beef rather than traditional ground beef. He absolutely loved it. Our friends ordered the Milanesa de Berenjena and the Milanesa de Pollo with a side of gnocchi, and both raved about their meals as well. Since nearly every table seemed to be ordering pizza, we knew we had to try one. We ordered a small pizza for the table, and each of us had a slice. Now we understand why they're known for their pizza--it was fantastic! A special shoutout to our server, Rouil Rodz, who was attentive, friendly, and provided excellent service throughout the evening. Don't let the unassuming entrance fool you. This restaurant is a hidden gem with a beautiful atmosphere, outstanding food, and excellent service. If you're visiting Old San Juan, I highly recommend adding it to your list.

First - Yelp shows this as a Food Truck. It is not. They've been in this location for 3 years (as…read moreper the waiter). Second - best pizza we've tried in PR probably ever. Great wine, Caesar salad and dessert. Very nice ambiance and service. Parking is a bit of an issue, but there are options in Ponce de Leon avenue (nice walk back to the car after all that fantastic food). Third - obviously there's a wait. They do a good job managing it. My issue is not with the restaurant but with patrons not being considerate and just sitting there once done as if they were hanging out at the park. Very annoying when these 'tontos' can be seen from the window after waiting for what seems forever. Staff is very respectful and does not seem to kick them out. Understandable, but bad for business. Hope this is addressed as we certainly will come back.

The pizzas are perfect size, personal pizzas so I recommend to order a salad and share with someone so you can try more items on their menu.

Good salad to split. We then got a large pepperoni pizza. The pizza was big but it's prepared super thin so we only had one piece to take with us. Loved the brick oven crust which was fresh and had a nice crisp to it. Lots of toppings. We sat inside because there were no open tables on the lovely porch. Definitely better to get a table outside. Service was great. Definitely enjoyed this stop.

They have inside and outside seating space, although inside is very limited. Great selection of local beers. I went on a Friday afternoon and luckily we didn't have to wait in line that long. I tried the Selena which is the house special with bacon, pepperoni and maple syrup, delicious. My mom had the white pizza with pepperoni also very good. The pizzas are thin crust and I have to say both were tasty and flavorful. If you like your pizzas well done like I do, you can ask them to leave it in the oven a little longer and they will kindly do it. You can find free street parking around the area or there is also a city underground parking lot.

We were in San Juan visiting our son and he took us to La Santurcina. We are so glad he did…read morebecause it was awesome. Here is what we noticed: - Apparently the place can get crowded, but the night we were there was very chill with lots of open tables. The vibe is relaxed and nice. - We started with an order of the meatballs, which an extra one, for the four of us...they were excellent, as was the bread they came with. - Between the four of us, we split two pizzas, the Zucchini Ricotta and the La Del Chef. Both were tasty, and the differences between them made them the perfect combination. - We ordered two different bottles of wine, starting off with a white and then switching to a red. The wine list was really great, with a lot of options and the bottle prices were very affordable. - Service was incredible. In fact, our server asked us if we really wanted the red wine as it might be a little warm, which enabled us to have it chilled a bit until we had finished the bottle of white. I don't know about you, but we've been to even higher end restaurants where the server doesn't have a clue regarding the proper wine temperture...we were really impressed here. Bottom line: Great meal, affordable, cool location, and top notch service...what more can you ask for?

The arancini was really good and had a nice kick to it. The pizza really hit the spot, although the sauce needed some flavor, even if it was just a bit more salt. Nevertheless, it was a solid pizza! They also have a nice beer/wine selection with some local offerings. We arrived for dinner without a reservation and although the restaurant was mostly full, we were able to get a table. They do have bar seating which we would have been happy with as well. It's casual in there, but still elevated. Definitely worth a try if you're craving some pizza!

This cozy bar and tapas restaurant has a charming speakeasy vibe that immediately made us want to stay. There were four of us, and we shared three different tapas.

The atmosphere is cute, quaint, and incredibly comfortable, with cozy chairs and small tables that give it more of a lounge feel than a traditional restaurant. It was the perfect place to relax after exploring Old San Juan. If you're in the area, I definitely recommend stopping in. We loved everything about it and would absolutely go back!
