About the restaurant

De pronto como amantes de la cocina estamos necesitados de encontrar en nuestra ciudad un lugar acogedor, pequeño, de caras conocidas y cálidas. Un ambiente relajado y fresco, que no sea pretencioso, pero sí inspirador.
Tostévere con una propuesta de cocina ecléctica y ambiciosa, ha ido cumpliendo expectativas altas de comensales exigentes. Algo que puede caracterizar al lugar, es la cocina “honesta”, tal cual la describe Antonio, quien realizó el menú. Porciones y precios correctos. Ticket que no destaca por barato pero que con gusto acabas pagando: productos de calidad, cocina trabajada, servicio de excelencia y calidez.

The food was simple, there was nothing fancy about the meat with a side salad. The drinks were the best part of the experience and the service was great but the timing to serve dinner was almost an hour for going on a very light day with little to no people.

Service was outstanding! Attention to our comfort during a chilly wind that swept through the rooftop dining was much appreciated. Blankets and patio heaters kept us warm while we enjoyed both the outstanding food and view.

Great dinner. Hummus with shaved & caramelized Brussel sprouts was delicious. So was the veggie rice bowl. Husband’s swordfish with spicy sauce was great. Would get everything again. Great music. Fun entertainment and nice view.
