restaurante r.i.c.h.a.

Came here with a few friends and shared a few dishes. Everything was delicious! From the Mediterranean salad with a delicious cheese, to the coconut prawns to the super tender octopus to the steak to the delicious dessert knafeh, we enjoyed everything. The ambiance is simple and peaceful. The service was great. All servers and the manager were attentive and courteous. The cocktails were on the weaker side though. Recommended!

The restaurant has an appealing atmosphere, and the food was very good – flavorful and carefully prepared. However, the service was rather chaotic: the wine we had selected (in the $30–40 range) was not available, and we were offered a significantly more expensive bottle instead (80$+) The timing between courses was also off – the main dishes arrived while some of us were still eating our starters, and even a half-full glass was cleared away too soon. In this price category, one would expect a more attentive and well-coordinated service – there’s room for improvement here. The dessert, on the other hand, was truly excellent and provided a pleasant finish to the evening.

I have nothing bad to say about this restaurant. Every single dish I tried was amazing, the service lovely and the space itself great for an intimate dinner. My partner and I tried the chicharron, the tiradito, and the burrata with the house bread as starters, and the risotto nero and chuleton for mains. Everything was fresh, flavorful and delicious. Definitely get the kanafeh for dessert!

Nice ambiance w. Great cocktails and drinks. We absolutely enjoyed sharing. Tapas!

The space is very clean, white and spacious, and the service is friendly. Food is nice. Especially the patacones are simple but taste good and crispy.

My wife and I went for an early Friday evening dinner date at RICHA, and from the moment we arrived, the experience was very pleasant. We were warmly greeted and promptly shown to our table, which set a welcoming tone for the evening. Our server brought us menus, but we had already heard that the weekly specials were not to be missed, so we focused mainly on those. For appetizers, we ordered the provoleta and the tuna carpaccio, and both were absolutely outstanding. The flavors were well-balanced and prepared with great attention to detail. For our main courses, we chose the highly talked-about lamb chops and the pasta carbonara. The lamb chops truly lived up to their reputation—tender, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. The carbonara was also delectable, creamy without being heavy, and beautifully presented. To accompany the mains, we ordered the grilled palmitos and the roasted Brussels sprouts as side dishes. Both were excellent, but the Brussels sprouts stood out so much that I could honestly eat them as a main course on their own. They were that delicious. Dessert was equally memorable. We shared the cinnamon roll cheesecake and the kinafe, and both were fantastic finishes to an already wonderful meal. Each dish throughout the evening showed both creativity and quality in preparation, which we appreciated greatly. If I were to make one suggestion for improvement, it would be to add tablecloths to elevate the dining atmosphere and to place felt sliders on the bottom of the chairs. The chairs make noticeable noise when sitting, adjusting, or getting up, which can be a little distracting in an otherwise enjoyable setting. Overall, the food, service, and hospitality at RICHA made for a thoroughly enjoyable evening. We will certainly be returning and recommending it to others.

This place is excellent. The food is spectacular. The hospitality and service make you feel welcomed. Perfecto! Our server Derick was attentive and professional. We are American, and speak only English. Our server Derick made us feel comfortable and noticed. He made some great recommendations for our pallets. Great job Derick! We loved watching the staff talking together on how they could achieve a higher level. The Som was excellent in his demeanor and approach to patrons and employees. This is a must visit in Panama City. They carried some great wines reasonably priced. We can't wait to visit them again. If you are visiting Panama don't miss this restaurant in the San Francisco part of the city. Less tourists, hip and more authentic vibe.

Noisy group besides us but food very good!
