Took forever to get our entrees, everything else came out way too fast, guessing nuked, very expensive. My entree was nothing that the menu described, I asked if it was what I actually ordered and she said yes, canned sliced green olives were in my pasta which made the whole thing taste like that and incredibly salty. So I left starving. $400 later. We had 2 apps, 2 bottles of wine and 3 entrees. Won't go back, I am happy to pay that for decent ambiance and better food. Highly disappointed as it was recommended and we drove 40 minutes.

The Mall of Paseos restaurant ibas a beautiful setting. The ambiance is inviting--perfect for a casual date night or dinner with friends--and the wine selection pairs nicely with the dishes. We started with appetizers that were flavorful and well-prepared, setting a strong tone for the evening. The pasta dishes are clearly the highlight here; options like truffle-infused macaroni and traditional plates bring comforting, rich flavors. Service is generally friendly and attentive, though timing can vary during busier hours. Overall, it's a dependable spot if you're craving Italian cuisine in Puerto Rico--great for a relaxed night out, even if not every dish reaches that "wow" factor. Pro tip: Stick to their signature pasta dishes and pair them with a good wine for the best experience.

Let me start with the biggest issues…read more We ordered a Peroni and a glass of Prosecco. The Prosecco arrived but the beer never did. After asking multiple times, we were finally told they did not have it and were given other options. That should have been communicated from the start. The worst part of the night was that my soda glass literally exploded. I put the straw in and suddenly heard a pop and a chunk of the glass broke off. Soda went everywhere. While it was being cleared there was glass all over the table and I actually got pinched on the finger by a shard while moving a napkin. Resolution was basically none. Just an apology and I had to request another soda, which was disappointing. Now, the food. Overall, the food was good with some clear highs and a few misses. We started with the bruschetta. It was tasty but it needed more balsamic and there was way too much arugula for my taste. The octopus was good. The first few bites were chewy, but after that the texture improved and the flavor was solid. The chicken parm was the star of the night. It was delicious and very crunchy. They did accommodate my request to have it with vodka sauce, although it seemed at first like they could not because some were already premade with red sauce, which I did not want. Dessert was the almond budín and it was excellent. Honestly, it is probably the one thing that would make me go back. As for the experience, the table was small and the pony wall made it feel a bit cramped. It was doable but not the most comfortable setup. Bottom line, good food, especially the chicken parm and the almond budín, but service and handling of the glass incident definitely need improvement.

We ordered a bottle of Fiano (a wine we really enjoy and was on the menu). They didn't have it. We settled for Chardonnay. It was good. We asked for bread. They didn't have any!!! (What? An Italian restaurant with no bread?) not a great start. Having said all that, the rest for our food was amazing! The arancini and the eggplant were exquisite. I ordered the steak (yeah I know) but it was amazing. The sauce, the potatoes. Just delicious. Our guests had the lasagna and my husband ordered the pizza. They were very satisfied with their meals. The ambiance is quaint. Old Italian. Clean. I would train servers to know what's available and what's not. Prevent from ordering and being disappointed. In addition, if you don't have bread and make pizza, you have bread. You can make it out of pizza dough in a pinch for those who ask. Italian red sauce without bread... it's a big miss. If your equipment is broken, buy the bread. I think they should have given us the dessert based on the misses. Nonetheless, the entrees were very good.

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.
