About the restaurant

True to its name, the Chef’s Table feels gloriously indulgent, inviting lucky diners on a hedonistic journey encapsulating Antonio Pérez’s life in Puerto Rico and his culinary career across South America, Europe, and Asia. The setting feels intimate and wildly special, with just 12 seats surrounding the open kitchen, complemented by a lounge area for a welcome cava before dinner or a post-tasting menu digestif. The themed-driven five-course menu changes monthly along with its wine pairing.
This is not merely another dining experience; it’s an intimate journey through the heart and soul of a Puerto Rican cook and his global culinary influences. Do not reserve a number of diners higher than desired, in our kitchen everything is prepared for all confirmed reservations, as such, we will regard it as a no show who has failed to comply with the reservation. If you wish to cancel your reservation, please give us at least three day’s notice. Thank you for your kindness and understanding.

Dinner at Iguanas is always a great time. The setting is relaxed and open-air, but the highlight of the night was the service—truly top-notch and incredibly attentive. We started with the vegan meatballs and the sampler platter, both solid choices to kick off the meal. For mains, the mofongo stole the show. You can choose (if available)between yuca or plantain as the base. My mom had hers with steak, Elliott opted for the garlic shrimp, and both were flavorful and perfectly cooked. I went for the chicken chicharrones with a side salad—crispy, well-seasoned, and satisfying. Iguanas might be casual, but the food is thoughtful, and the service takes it to another level. A great spot for a laid-back dinner that delivers on flavor and hospitality.

About the restaurant

A unique Italian gastronomic experience awaits you at Nonna, where we honor the dedication, care and love that Italian grandmothers put into each plate.

Nonna provides a unique atmosphere, full of history where you can savor Italian classic dishes made from scratch with fresh vegetables, assorted cheeses, unfiltered extra virgin olive oil and fresh handmade pasta made daily.

The menu includes a selection of dishes ranging from antipasti, soups and pasta with a variety of meats and seafood. The pizzas are made with carefully selected ingredients including Caputo flour from Naples, Italy, extra virgin olive oil unfiltered and fresh mozzarella.

"La Nonna” was the precursor of this Italian cuisine where they used the best ingredients while preparing everything from scratch. It is a throwback to the traditional and rustic cuisine. We try to respect these methods and recipes from the past while integrating cutting-edge techniques.
