All of the food was great. The waiter was attentive to details and the menu wonderful. The portions are huge so a stray dog had a wonderful price of steak after dinner.

Amazing food! They have a 5 course tasting menu that was amazing. It’s about $60/person and totally worth it! The service was great and everyone was very friendly. Perfect spot for a romantic date or relaxing solo dinner at the bar

About the restaurant
Nuevo concepto 100% Italiano - Cucina di Mare.
Ubicado en la Avenida Balboa de la Ciudad de Panamá, Filomena te recibe con una vista inigualable. Su diseño es impactante, moderno y pulcro, al igual que cada uno de sus detalles.
Cada uno de los platos tiene una historia, un trayecto, pero sobre todo ingredientes sorprendentes. Traídos directo de Italia o hechos en casa, son la clave para lograr los sabores que te transportan.

About the restaurant
We invite you to join us for our playful exploration of flavour, that is equal parts: intuition and experience. With often primitive methods of concoction such as fermentation, smoking, raw dishes, curing, pickling and the magic and unpredictability of cooking over wood fire – all coming together with elegant execution in dishes designed for sharing and pairing. Purposefully a little disruptive, we take an approach to dining that is fun, and encourages looking at traditional ideas from a new angle. This can be anything from getting stuck in with your hands, to rehashing recipes with funky local produce. We never stand still and continue to evolve – just as fire refuses to hold a single form.

I attended this restaurant for my birthday…the food, ambiance, and drinks were amazing! They have entertainment sessions about every hour and celebrate everyone’s birthday individually. My next visit to Panama, I will definitely return.
