We went with our good friends David and Esther Moore (from England) to try out another Italian restaurante in Managua, Nicaragua. Sunday evening was slow so it proved to be a nice for dining. The atmosphere of the restaurant is really nice. The staff is a little sub-par for what I expected.
They bake their own bread and make their own pasta on site, of course. The menu has an adecuate selection of wines and drinks but seemed somewhat limited on main dishes. We had a tasty 2×1 drink called a Guayaba Bellini ($4 for the two). The wood oven baked pizza ($9), the fettuccini a la marinera ($7.50) and the cheese ravioli a la carbonera ($8.50) were all tasty. As you can see the prices are average for a decent restaurant in Managua. The pasta was good but the portions were on the small side.
On a scale of 1 to 10: 7 (if the portions were bigger, I would definitely bump this up to an 8).
Fuimos con nuestos buenos amigos David y Esther Moore (de Inglaterra) para probar otro restaurante italiano en Managua, Nicaragua. Parece que el domingo es un tanto lento así que pudimos disfrutar de una cena quieta y agradable. El ambiente del lugar es muy agradable. La atención de los meseros no era tan buena como hubiera esperado.
Hornan su propio pan y hacen la pasta, por supuesto. El menú tiene una selección adecuada de vinos y bebidas pero me parecía algo limitada la selección de platos fuertes. Tomamos una bebida 2×1: Bellini de Guayaba ($4 para dos) que estaba bien rica. La pizza de horno de leña ($9), el fettuccini a la marinera ($7.50) y el ravioli de queso a la carbonera ($8.50) estaban todos sabrosos. Como podés ver los precios son algo promedio para un restaurante decente en Managua. Los platos eran de buena calidad pero las porciones eran realmente pequeñas.
En escala de 1 a 10: 7 (si fueran más grandes las porciones, bien podría haberle dado 8).

My Nicaraguan bride and I have not yet visited Italianissimo. Glad to hear it is good, but not surprised to find out the portions are small. That is one difference between here and the USA…smaller portions. Good for the waistline! 🙂
