This is a very popular place to eat some burguers in a very nice neighborhood. It is close to Bucaramanga nightlife like bars and discos.

We decided to try this restaurant rated in the top of Bucaramanga. Since we're are Italian food fans it was of course a must go. Place is extremely nice. Beautiful decorations and the atmosphere is great. Service was wonderful thanks to Oscar... very nice recommendations. The menu has plenty of options... you can't be sure what to order. The flavor is excellent, very good seasoning. Just think that the chef missed my anchovies in my Putanesca sauce. Also we wanted to have an espresso after lunch and they didn't have it. Because of those small details Toscana doesn't get a 5. If they improve in that this is for sure one of the best Italian restaurants were I have been to.

It's hard to find a good, authentic Argentine milanesa north of the equator, but DiMarco's has it! DiMarco's also has the full array of cuts of beef, all in large quantities. Two of us shared a half portion, and that was just about enough. All of the various beef dishes were fantastic. We highly recommend this traditional spot in Bucaramanga.

Nuova Bella Napoli delivers on its promises of authentic Italian pizza and pasta. The pizza was delicious, a perfectly cooked Italian style base, with excellent fresh ingredients, I recommend the capricciosa with extra chili and olive oil to your liking and the Catalana. There is also a great selection of Italian wines too and obviously I would recommend trying the many varieties of pasta here, yet on this occasion I was on the hunt for great pizza.
We were welcomed in like family, the owner Gino and his staff were amazingly friendly and accommodating. They made up some decorations for my wife who's birthday it was. Throughout the whole night the staff were very attentive and the food came out in very good time. They topped off the meal with a couple of aperitifs, gorgeous liqueurs and we all left in high spirits...well fed, happy and grateful.
They set up decorations on the table as we were celebrating my wife's birthday (I called in advance)

Great outdoor table in lovely old building. Restaurant was very busy but service was fast and did not feel rushed. Jorge seated us and helped us with translation while we ordered and at several other times with info on wines and other places in Buca. The star of the evening was the steak. We had Lomita Fino Especial, and it was fantastic! The steak was tender and juicy. The toppings, onion, bacon and cheese, were all perfectly prepared and the dish was great! Get the smaller size (200 gm; $31,900 = $9.57 USD). I didn't, and no way could I have finished it. It came with fries or salad. We'll be back!

Reviewed By InsoucianceAbroad1 - Washington D.C.
A simple yet charming location, great service, and broad menu were only the beginning of a great visit. We were advised that perhaps we were requesting too much, but after a long day exploring we wanted a diversity. Everything exceeded expectations with the true winners being the avocado salad and the Arepa Patapata. Definitely on the "must visit again" list!

Not only was my burger juicy, fresh and cooked to perfection, the Waitstaff was truly on their toes always making sure we had the best experience possible. The owner Mauricio was present and very knowledgeable when it came to food.
