Montevideo, a port city and the capital of Uruguay, is a perfect destination for travelers looking for a relaxing stroll past colonial era buildings and along beautiful beaches.

One of the best places to dine in Montevideo in a exclusive neighborhood close to the "Rambla", and to the most trendy bussines and shopping area in the city. Not cheap (luckily), the service is excellent, and a short but carefully selected menu, ensure that you'll enjoy your choice, whatever it'd be. Fine wine selection and an overall classic, warm atmosphere, brings you back to the old-fashion style restaurantes where the costumer matters. Besides, the somelier is always ready to help you to choose. My advice, do not miss it....

I have been trying a few,quite a few,places for pizza locally and have found them over crusted with tasteless cheese and strange ingredients.This place comes very close to a great pizzeria. The ambience is fine,on a pleasant square and the staff courteous. They could ask their motorcycle delivery people to get mufflers and smoke elsewhere but for MVD this is a keeper!

Fellini is different to other restaurants I've seen in Uruguay. The table settings, for instance, include cast metal plates and linen napkins. A nice touch, but you pay for it (100 pesos for cubiertos). As to the food, I have mixed feelings. The pizza was tasty, nice and crusty. The papardelle Marco Polo, on the other hand, was a bit too much al dente, and the attempt at an oriental dressing made everything too sweet and ultimately soggy. I suggest a lighter hand on the soy sauce...We didn't stay for dessert, and we thought the whole meal was a bit over-priced, but the elaborate presentation of the bill, with marshmallows, was a nice touch. Thanks very much for your comment!See you again!Ci Vediamo!

I had heard this restaurant was good but when we walked in, somewhat sweaty and underdressed, I was alarmed to see the elaborate place settings--think many, many forks--and thought oh it's one of those restaurants. That said, we were there late in the afternoon and practically had the place to ourselves. The service was formal but not over the top. And the prices were fair. I'd particularly recommend the trio of ceviche and the chocolate dessert. Both were delicious The decor was a little odd. The walls are hung with paintings of young women in sultry posed. It was a little jarring.

A restaurant that serves good Italian food, but which feels a little like you are sitting in what is mostly a delicatessen where people come to buy food to take away rather than an intimate restaurant. The food was tasty, but it's not my favourite Italian in Montevideo.

Lucca aims simply for good food. With a clear italian heritage, their founders Ignacio Gamio and Sebastian Martin develop an authentic cuisine, that satisfies all the senses and heartens kinfolk connections in the mind. Based in the Old City of Montevideo

We had lunch for 3 people. 2 steaks and 1 corvina fish. They were all incredible. The steak was very large, no fat or gristle, perfect medium. The fish was incredibly fresh and large in portion. They are very slow in service but the quality of food makes up for it. Lunch for 3 was USD $50.Thanks Joseph! you are very much welcome again. Best regards

This restaurant was recommended by Jeronimo on our walking tour Curioso and it turned out to be a great suggestion. We had a dish of beautifully prepared steak with a lovely bottle of Tante Uruguayan wine Don Pasquale. Juan the owner and Darió (our waiter) provided fabulous service and help. We would highly recommend a visit here for a wonderful meal. The restaurant has been in existence since 1962. annehI3333FT, thank you very much for shareing you experience with us, we hope you come back soon.

Reviewed By 83matid
Tona is a very nice restaurant and there are actually few of that kind in Montevideo, particularly in the sense of modern stylish dining. Everything in the menu is very good, they have options of more traditional Uruguayan cuisine dishes and also more modern international cuisine. That said, I thought the menu was a bit limited in options. The place itself is great in terms of the style. As for service, I found it to be a bit too much, in the sense that one felt waiters were looking at your table all the time - with the intention of giving a good service for sure - but at times it felt a bit too much. Overall I would say this is a different experience in Montevideo and it is great to have, but it may be a bit overrated just because there are not many similar options in the city.

We had been recommended this restaurant so our expectations were rather high, but even so it surprised us with its excellences.Everything was great - the service, the ambiance, the interior design etc.The food was cooked to perfection and the dishes really elevated all its ingredients. The wine list was also great and the staff were able to give some insightful help in choosing wine.Iâm very restricted when it comes to give spaces a 5 star review, but in this case there are no other options then 5 stars.

Great restaurant in Montevideo. Excellent customer service. The place is beautifully decorated and the atmosphere is wonderful. My asado was very good and the coffee was great. We asked for ice cream as dessert and this was the only weak point of our dinner as the ice cream is of poor quality. Anyway I loved the place located in a really nice area of Montevideo, El Prado. I will certainly go back to this restaurant.
