Everything is great about this place. From your table you can see the garden from where they pick the vegetables used to prepare your food. Everything is very fresh, tasty and beautifuly presented. Don't be put off by the Porsches, Mercedes and BMW's parked in front of the restaurant. Prices are more than fair considering the great experience you'll get.

The restaurant setting is perfect. Beautiful herb garden. We went for dinner so we select to sit in the terrace and enjoy it. The service is good from the valet parking to the host and waiters. But I would said the food was good but average. Maybe Maito is living of his fame, or I had been hearing so many... More

Great tucked away restaurant from the crazy busy streets of Panama. A little hidden gem, this is a fabulous restaurant which I would highly recommend. The food is delicious and beautifully presented.

Another birthday celebration at Maito. We flew to Panama to be with our daughter on her birthday. We chose Maito based on tripadvisor recommendations (and glad that we did.) The restaurant, formerly a house, is remodeled with a lot of glass facing a tropically landscaped front yard. The menu was interesting. My husband had the excellent risotto and I had... More

Tucked away in a house-turned restaurant set back from the main road, guests are greeted by lovely open veranda and herb garden. The dishes are beautifully presented and refined. The atmosphere is elegant and tranquil.

I loved the ambiance of this small house turned restaurant. The food is good and fresh! The carpaccio was delicious and the portobello risotto worthy of a *** restaurant!
