My criteria for ranking a restaurant on the basis of its food is "can I make it better myself?". In the case of La Vespa the answer is no, I could not make it any better myself. From the very first item that came to the table to the very last, all the food was very good. We started with the burata and a Pizza Italia as starters for the table. The pizza was especially good. The crust was thin, the cheese was flavorful and the tomatoes and arugula were quite fresh. I ordered as a main dish the fish of the day which was mero on this particular Sunday evening. My wife and son ordered the skirt steak and my daughter ordered a fantastic ravioli. The mero was prepared perfectly and was quite tasty and its preparation. The skirt steak could have used a little bit more seasoning in its cooking. It needed a bit of salt. The ravioli that I tasted was actually quite tasty with the pasta that was fresh and cooked al dente. We finished the meal with a Nutella tiramisu and a panna cotta. Special notice must be given to the service. It is by far the best service in a restaurant I have encountered in many many years here in Panama. I look forward to going back to La Vespa!
