I can't remember when is the last time I ate such good crabs and the conchas are simply to die for. The service was absolutely excellent.

When everything on the menu (including appetizers) is $13-17 you know you are in an expensive restaurant. We took a cab to this restaurant on the recommendation of trip advisor and while I was not disappointed in the meal itself, I was a bit shocked at the prices. Also, I agree with another reviewer who said to get the crabs simply boiled and no sauce, which I did not do and ordered the garlic sauce. Wish I hadn't because it was just way too over powering. Still the whole experience was a good one (and the service was excellent) but I think I would try another place next time.

This is the formerly known âTratoria da Enricoâ which a couple of decades ago was one of the top restaurants in Guayaquil. While their infrastructure and menu remain basically the same, it has not aged well.Menu is extensive and wine list is acceptable, however certain dishes are not quite up to the standard a business of this category should present to their customers.Personally I stick to a âmixto di mareâ appetizers and a seafood pasta which I believe are the restaurants still signature dishes.If you want to have lunch in Urdesa give this place a try

Excellent service and menu selections for a first class restaurant. The Caesar salad was just OK, but the rest of the meal was perfect. We had both varieties of Corvina and they were both winners. Thank you so much for sharing your experience with others, we really appreciate your time. We are very pleased that both our menu and the service given by our staff have been to your liking. We look forward to returning soon.

Our hotel recommended this restaurant for seafood. The food was delicious. We actually ordered too much! The seafood soup was one of the best we have had. It was a large bowl full of seafood and delicious broth. The ceviche âlo nuestroâ was served in two large shells and was delicious as well. We also enjoyed the quinoa salad and another dish with rice and seafood. We ended the meal with a slice of chocolate cake. At first the service was a bit slow (there was a large birthday group) but our waiter was experienced and very nice. This place is a gem for seafood!

Fantastic restaurant with superb service. All of our meals were excellent. Started off with banana chips with sauces. The very best banana chips I have ever tasted. We had the small salad and it was very unique with a tasty dressing. I ordered the lomo saltado estilo peruano. Tasted just like the lomo saltado in Peru but maybe even better. The flan was the best flan I have ever tasted. It had a coconut crust. I highly recommend this restaurant you will not be disappointed.

We were taken to this restaurant by our local friends. It was great to see a menu in English and Spanish. I was disappointed because I wanted a garlic dish with crab and shrimp. Was told they did not currently have crab. Had the shrimp, it did not disappoint. The rice was really tasty too! Yes it is croweded and noisy. The food however was worth it! The wait staff took good care of us.

Friendly staff and menus with pictures if language is an issue. The food was fresh and very flavorful. There was four of us and we ordered four dishes to share. Plenty of food. Asked them to call us a taxi and a waitress walked us out to street to meet taxi and waited with us until taxi came.
