Perfect! Everything we had read about La Cueva del Buzo was realized. The Italian owner was very gracious and fun to listen to. He recommended his dining specialties after visiting with us and was on target with the selection. My wife had Lobster and I had fresh fish, but a highlight of the meal was the creative owner's interpretation of... More

Dinner with friends here was one of my favorite activities in Managua. This place is for seafood. They do it as well as anyone, anywhere. The restaurant is open-air, very good environment, and the owner is a colorful person.

I really adore the freshness and creativity in which the food is served. However, needs improvement on pricing and environment decoration.

Food is actually not bad, but prices are a little high. Service is good. Overall OK but the value/cost ratio is a little on the costly side.

The food is exciting, creative and incredibly fresh. Amazing place. Everything is beautiful, the place, the furniture, the decoration. The servers are very professionals. The greatest must-go dinning spot in Managua. More than 200 different recipes. You gotta live that experience.

From far the best place I've tried in Managua, the owner spends time with you to explain some plates and to recommend you new creation. It is a pleasure for the eyes as much as for the mouth. They go 3 times a week fishing in the pacific to make sure to have fresh food. The prices are not low... More

Went and ate here twice in my one week visit to Nicaragua early this month. I have to say I haven't been here in a few months and what my wife and I found astounded us. I am very close friends with Alessio, the owner, and have known his style and talent for a while now, but his new approach... More
