I was very pleased with my experience at this little restaurant up in the hills. Filled with locals, humming with happy diners' chatter. I was glad to have a reservation. There was not a single open table all evening! Portions were generous, so I could have stuck with the appetizer, Zucchini Parmesan, or something like that and a glass of... More

The setting is very intimate and lovely, practically on top of a water fall. The food is very expensive for pasta and full of butter and my bill was not itemized, which I found very odd.

Genuine Italian dishes that never disappoint. Just remember to book ahead if you would like to try their delicious risotto.

The atmosphere at Il Pianista is great as you dine with windows opening up to the creek and water splashing over the boulders. Our food was a little disappointing: the bread had no flavor and the sauces were nothing special. Our service was very offputting, not friendly at all nor was it efficient.

This was the only time we had pizza in Panama. It was a welcome treat. Good crust and toppings. We also had a ravioli dish which got rave review. Our waitress was so nice to us. It was raining the night we were there, however, they have a lovely patio beside a waterfall. Good reason to go return.

This past Saturday evening a friend and I went up the moutain to once again have an excellently prepared dinner. She had a pasta dish with tomato, shrimp and freshly made noodles. I had nearly the same but in a white sauce. We tried a house red wine from Italy. A nice break from the usual Chilean wine most restaurants... More

After having so much fish for dinner, we thought we'd try Itialian food and so glad we did. Great ambiance - rustic with some gardens, very good food, and wonderful staff. Prices were reasonable.

One of the best resaurants in the area for food quaility, friendly service and by far the absolute best atmosphere. Doris and her husband Giovanni (chef from Italy) own and run the restaurant and Giovanni is a fabulous chef. Seafood is spectacular, pasta fabulous and the thin crust pizza is the best outside of Italy - of course the salads... More

I really like the owners... so this review is hard for me. I've been to Il Pianista four times now, one good meal (the first) and three major disappointments. The owner/host/waitress makes light of our comments and I can't stress enough how frustrating that is.. Rather than respond to our concerns, Doris likes to belittle your thoughts and concerns with...
