Terrible experience. Crowded and noisy at an unbearable level. When the orchestra plays they use powerful amplifiers and the noise becomes dangerous. Food very poor and service inconsistent. You have to ask a waiter four times to have a bottle or water. If you are a cuban expat probably you'll love the atmosphere. If you aren't stay at home.

Guantanamera !!! Cosa aggiungere ? Come ogni volta serata fantastica, nelle sere con musica dal vivo il locale è sempre un piacere...ottimo anche il cibo ed i cocktails...ma l'atmosfera, la musica e l'allegria sono la ciliegina sulla torta...consigliatissimo.

They are knowledgeable about food allergies and have a spreadsheet of there menu with common allergies listed. The food was very good, I had the seafood paella and totally enjoyed it. I paired it with a Spicey margarita which was very good and not too Spicey so was enjoyable. I would recommend this restaurant.
