“ We were wandering looking for a restaurant and happened to stop here quite randomly. It wasn’t clear to us on the sidewalk that this was a restaurant but we could see people dining inside. We went in and had an absolute wonderful meal with top notch service. No English but we muddled through with Google translate. We had glasses of the house red and white wines, a starter of mixed olives and focaccia bread. The bread was fabulous (and I think I make pretty good focaccia). I ordered the bottoni filled with ricotta and egg yolk in a lemon sauce. Could have had a side bowl of the sauce alone it was so good. My husband had the bucatini and it was very flavourful. The maitre d’ recommend pistachio ice cream for dessert and this came drizzled in olive oil and sprinkled with sea salt. What an incredible treat. I have heard of this but not yet tried it. It is a new favourite. We will be returning here before we leave Bogotá. ”
“ A very beautiful place to eat in a nice neighborhood. The food was so rich and flavorful. The drinks were well balanced and poured to perfection. The staff were all very pleasant and inviting. I’d recommend this place if you’re in the area and looking for something good to eat. ”
“ Quite a nice spot, everything was delicious. The ribeye was great, cooked perfectly and the sauce it came was awesome. The burrata was good, it didn’t come with enough bread however. We shared the pasta which had a small kick in spice. It was delicious . The table we got stuck with wasn’t amazing but I really enjoyed the place, quick service and the dessert was amazing ”
“ Food was delicious. We had olives as an entree, some wine and pasta. We ordered bucatini all’amatriciana and cappelletti di zucca. Both were flavorful and delicious, recommended. We also had tiramisu that very tasteful. Overall a great experience and would like to come back to taste some other pasta in the menu. ”
“ Not great, but surely “really good”. Ingredient quality could’ve been better. Food is good in the safe sense. It’s what you would expect, but still kinda falls short from “great”. Must try place if you’re near by and in look for some good Italian food. They do have a great wine selection, though prices might be steep for the offer. If your in doubt or looking for a place to go and find this review, take this a a sign to give this place a try. ”
“ Flora is a gem in Chapinero, Bogota for anyone craving authentic Italian cuisine. The ambiance is warm and inviting, with beautiful greenery and soft lighting that makes you feel instantly at ease. The dishes were excellent—especially the spaghetti with a touch of lemon, simple yet full of flavor, and the rigatoni in a rich, creamy sauce that was perfectly cooked. The salad with prosciutto was fresh and vibrant, a great balance of textures and flavors. It’s the perfect spot for a cozy dinner, whether you’re with friends or on a date. Highly recommend Flora for anyone visiting Bogotá! ”
