"Absolutely delicious food! It was different than all the other restaurants in town. The attention was also very nice, and the server spoke English- which was very helpful. Incredible experience, I would 100% recommend this spot!!"
Aggie Rostagno
"It's probably the best restaurant in Cafayate, highly recommended. We tried, trout, salads, pasta and beef. All the dishes were excellent. Great service and prices on the high side. We will return."
Gustavo Fazzari
"I rarely write reviews but this place exceeded my expectations and deserves 5 stars across the board. Great food, quality ingredients. You can tell they really thought through each dish. Cuisine was a fresh take on classic dishes - really enjoyed the dumplings and raviollinis."
