“Excellent atmosphere, design, service, great food”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 May 2012

Love the design in bar lounge - great modern meets traditional whitewashed finish with interesting us of waterfalls & art. Drinks and staff are fantastic. Tried a few antipasti - like everything but the frommagi dishes - the cheese was a little funky. Great place for later evening drinks. Very hip spot More

“Best Italian food ever!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 May 2012

OMG. Everything was so yummy. Incredibly tasty fresh ingredients with creative combinations. The setting is quite modern and smart so bear in mind that men are not allowed to wear bermudas, but worth having to wear long trousers for such a delicious meal! We went there twice during our 5 day stay in Cartagena. More

“Great Ambiance and Service but cuisine needs some help”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 January 2012

The overall atmosphere and ambiance of Vera is absolutely breathtaking. From the vertical gardens of ferns to the crisp clean white decor and the constant sound of running water make the space a place that you will not want to leave. However the cuisine is extremely SALTY!!!! Definitely overly seasoned and it ruins the real flavor of what the chef... More

“Pleasant surprise”

Without a doubt one of, if not THE best meal my friends and I had while in Cartagena. The restaurant itself is immaculate; set within the a hotel that was created by its fashion designer owner, the restaurant is an homage to fine Italian fare and it fulfills its role quite well. From the appetizer, which were delicious, to the... More
