    We experienced the most incredible Pallela filled with fresh clams, mussels, shrimp and much more. The atmosphere was quiet and we were greeted by the owner and chef, Arturo. This is truly a hidden neighborhood gem. The open flame fire burning oven keeps the ambiance warm and inviting.

    Went to celebrate a birthday on a Thursday evening. Valet is validated but there is also a garage you can park in. Food is as good as I remembered almost 20 years ago! Menu is recognizable with some new items. Everything was on point and delicious. José was exceptional and the team was great. Carajillo was nice! Definitely an energetic vibe for celebrations or group gathering. Also romantic for dinner for two or chill solo dolo at the bar. Very welcoming place for all!
