This was our third visit to Arrogante, and once again, we left thoroughly impressed. Each experience here has been consistently excellent — from ambiance to service to food. The dining rooms are tastefully decorated and well-lit, with crisp white tablecloths, plush upholstered booths, and chairs that soften ambient sound, creating a comfortable and refined atmosphere. The service continues to be outstanding — a rarity in Panama these days. Attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely warm. As with our previous visits, the food was spectacular. We began with the short rib arancini: crispy on the outside, cheesy and tender within, with richly flavored beef. I then had the pappardelle in a simple yet sublime pomodoro sauce — a dish I had been craving since our first visit. It did not disappoint. My wife ordered the spaghetti carbonara, which was among the best I’ve ever tasted. The sauce was perfectly creamy, with just the right amount of crisp guanciale to give it depth and texture. I also had the chicken cutlet Parmigiana — a standout. The cutlet was lightly breaded and fried to perfection, served without sauce so the crispness remained intact until the warm pomodoro and cheese were poured over at the table. Absolutely delicious. We’re already looking forward to our next visit to Arrogante.
