Spectacular lasagna, wine and place. Elkin was an amazing waiter and we had a lovely evening with a live soothing guitar player.

So good. Prices were good for the quality. I will return. 100% recommend. Tiramisu was super tasty (they make it in front of you).

I did not have a reservation and just walked in so happy I was able to get a table, anyway, especially dining solo. although I was hoping to sit inside by the pool area I’m happy with the table I got by the window. Really quite a few options on the menu I would have liked to try but enjoyed the selection I went with. Unique and luxury dining and architecture in the heart of historical Cartagena.

The diner was great. Good quality pasta and the staff was friendly. Nice location as well and good wines. Lobster pasta is a recommendation. One negative detail was the amount of dishes they did not have. Shows the freshness of their servicing but of course better to have it if you a dish on the menu.

We went for dinner and we were seated in the outdoor area with the pool view. The food was great but the service could have been better. We were eaten by mosquitos which hasn't happened at any other places.

We found this place in our way to a different restaurant and decided to stay here. Is super quiet and romantic, the servers are very attentive and kind. We had the pesto gnocchi and al polpete fettuccine and it was wonderful, the fresh pasta really does make the difference. For dessert we got the tiramisu which they make from scratch at the table and the gelato, all food was delicious, very authentic Italian flavours. Would definitely recommend for a more intimate date.

If you're a lover of Italian food, Casa de la Pasta is a must-visit destination. This restaurant, located within a hotel, serves up some of the most delicious pasta dishes I've ever had the pleasure of enjoying. The service is top-notch, with friendly and attentive staff. The ambiance is also fantastic, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere perfect for a night out. One of the standout features of Casa de la Pasta is its ability to accommodate special dietary needs. Whether you're gluten-free, vegan, or have other restrictions, the staff is happy to help. The pasta dishes are, of course, the main event. With a menu that's quintessentially Italian, you'll find all your favorite classics, from spaghetti carbonara to fettuccine Alfredo. Overall, I highly recommend Casa de la Pasta to anyone looking for an exceptional Italian dining experience. It's truly one of the best restaurants in town, and a place you won't want to miss.

Don Ignazio is a must-visit whenever I’m in Cartagena, and in my opinion, it serves the best Italian food not just in the city but in all of Colombia. For those seeking a truly traditional experience rooted in the flavors of the Reggiano region, this is the place to be—though you’ll also find dishes that pay homage to other parts of Italy. Italian cuisine is incredibly diverse, with each region offering something unique: Napoli may claim the best pizza, but at Don Ignazio, you’ll find an outstanding variety of pastas spanning from Bologna to Rome. I always begin with the mortadella platter, beautifully paired with a selection of other sliced deli meats and cheeses. As for the pastas, you simply can’t go wrong. The linguini with lobster is a standout, perfectly balanced in flavor and texture. To finish, indulge in their dessert offerings—the tiramisu and cheesecake are both exquisite choices. Don Ignazio truly delivers an authentic Italian dining experience in the heart of Cartagena.
