We had a wonderfully tasty lunch at La Bohemia this past Sunday. The fresh homemade pasta (pumpkin gnocchi) was delicious. The staff was friendly and welcoming. The wine recommendation (an amazing tannat) was on point. The velvety cheese cake was great. Somewhat pricey, although I thought the same about most restaurants in Colonia regardless of their quality. As expensive or more than better restaurants in Montevideo and Buenos Aires. I don't get it. Well, same thing happens in Paraty (Brazil). Still, it's a solidly good restaurant with its emphasis on pasta, but also offering burgers, meats, etc. We enjoyed the relaxed, laid-back atmosphere.

We were spending a day in Colonia. This restaurant came with local recommendations.We were delighted with our lunch here. Set in the centre of the "old town" this restaurant is very pleasantly presented with a good range of food on the menu. All dishes are freshly prepared. The staff service very good. The restaurant is very appealing with spacious settings on linen clad tables oozing old world charm. All very enjoyable.

We were attracted to this restaurant after seeing it in our Lonely Planet guide and it looked nice from the outside. However it was getting cold and we chose to sit inside - this was a mistake! It felt unclean when we first sat down and we also saw two large cockroaches running across the floor when we were waiting to be served. The staff seemed to find this funny!!The food was quite bland (it wasn't horrible and we don't tend to be fussy about what we eat!). I think the menu is just too big and therefore none of the dishes are really 'stand out'. To top it off, it was pretty expensive, especially for the quality. My husband and I both felt quite uncomfortable after seeing the cockroaches and couldn't wait to get out. Neither of us could eat our meal. Cleanliness really needs to be improved.

Had a wander around and chose this place for it's originality. Had not read other reviews before but now agree is overpriced for what you get. Ravioli was good but smothered in parsley. Chef (owner) Italian origin and cuisine too. Choice is very limited and I would be hesitant about seafood from a restaurant with little turnover ( unless from a freezer).
