One word ... WOW!! The best pizza and Italian cuisine in Cartagena! Service was outstanding, ingredients were fresh, restaurant was clean and the bathrooms are normal size with almost all of the comforts from home. The best part was the view. Great for people watching. Our waiter was warm and friendly and I would highly recommended this eatery if your ever in Cartagena!

Stopped here by chance for breakfast and found a good range of options, including egg dishes, a panini, and a fruit bowl made with the fruit of the day. The server was lovely and very helpful, switching to English when needed while we practiced our Spanish. Beautiful seating in a pretty little square makes it a nice place to sit. My partner had a fresh strawberry smoothie and a mozzarella omelette - tasty, but quite small for the price. I had a black coffee and the daily fruit bowl, which was very fresh and great value. Overall a good experience. Slightly more expensive due to the location, but friendly service, fresh food, clean bathroom, and a lovely setting. Probably better suited as a lunch spot, as it’s mainly a pizzeria.

The Hawaiian pizza was one of the best I’ve ever had, and the service was amazing. On top of that, there was a live singer who created a fantastic atmosphere. The place is in a great location… Beautiful and peaceful. Couldn’t ask for more! Highly recommended!

Pizza is ok, worth the price. The noce thing about this place is to seat at the small plaza outside, the vibes are good and there is often live music and street performers.

Not the typical wood fired Italian pizza but nonetheless tasty and a nice place to have dinner. Try to pick the local options have pizza with bocadillo for a twist. Staff were very pleasant and we had buskers around as well plying their craft.

Pizza is so good here. Crust is thin and the flavors are delicious. There’s live music and performances. Our waiter was super nice…loved it!

The restaurant has gorgeous outdoor seating and the waiters are super nice, the food was a bit of a letdown though.

This corner area always looks popular. Many options but we decided to eat at Basilica. It was 20 minutes before closing and they accommodated for us. We made sure to ask first as usually the kitchen crew could have already cleaned up but they were more than nice to us and said it was absolutely no problem. Unfortunately, being so late I totally forgot to take pictures of the pizzas we ordered; Hawaiian and margarita. Our server Duban brought out our food in lightning time. It was delicious and peaceful eating al fresco in the small plaza area. Prices were very affordable for the area. Will be back!
