Real Food, Made by Hand
The picturesque town of Moyogalpa, on the beautiful island of Ometepe, Nicaragua—nestled at the foot of Volcán Concepción and cooled by lake breezes.
Here, we opened our doors—and our kitchen—to share honest, homemade food.
With love for tradition and respect for real ingredients, we make everything we can by hand, relying on passion, patience, and the joy of doing things the old-fashioned way.
Our goal is simple: to offer something real—and to share it with everyone who walks through our door.
Made Fresh in Our Kitchen
We put our know-how to good use and make key parts of our dishes right here in our kitchen, using local ingredients like
farm-fresh milk, local fruit, vegetables and chocolate.
It’s all about keeping things fresh, simple, and full of real flavor.
What Our Customers Say
As an Italian I can assure you, this is the best Italian food I've had in Nicaragua. Lasagna like my mom makes it, fresh mozzarella, the bread and pizza just tasted like home! Never expected to find an Italian restaurant this good. Owners are really nice people who make everything themselves since ingredients are scarce. Such a great place!

The food is very fresh and authentic!! The staff and cook were very friendly and sooo welcoming!! It truly felt like we were in an Italian restaurant!! The gnocchi was our favorite, and the seafood was fresh and delicious!!
- Eliza Then
We happened to stop in because my boyfriend is reading 100 years of solitude and when he saw the name of the restaurant thought it was meant to be. Man are we glad we did!! The most amazing caprese salad - with delicious cheese. We are going back tomorrow for lunch!!

On the Island of Ometepe Nicaragua, there is only one place to enjoy a perfect plate of home made pasta, and it is called Macondo Bistro. I've had the lasagna, the tagliatelle with Gorgonzola, and a slice of their home made pizza, and each time it was a slice of heaven. Add a glass (or three) of wine, and it is a perfect meal. They play the coolest music as well, I love this place.

Moyogalpa: the Real Ometepe
We’re located on La Calzada, the pedestrian street
of Moyogalpa, just a few blocks from the ferry port.
This is the island’s main town — calm, authentic,
and deeply rooted in everyday Nicaraguan life.
Moyogalpa offers something different: a chance
to connect with the local community and feel
the true rhythm of the island.
Here, you can enjoy local culture and explore nature at your own pace. From volcano hikes to hidden spots, there’s more to do than you might expect.
Take your time here — the island’s soul starts
in Moyogalpa.
