IL CARRETTO Trattoria & Pizzería — Restaurant in Medellín

Warning ⚠️ ⚠️

If Spanish is not your first language, or if you are a foreigner, be aware of this restaurant 🚩🚩.

I am LIVING in Poblado for over a few weeks now. I am familiar with prices but speak little Spanish.

This restaurant is providing an “English menu” with different rates than the ones for Spanish speakers.

They will overcharge you on all meals for being “on holidays”, saying you have more money to spend.

Such discriminatory practices should not be legal, yet they apply it here… quite a shame for Colombia 🇨🇴.

Thank you for giving a bad image of your country. 👍

Edit based on owners’ response: I came to your restaurant 8 times in 2 weeks and got told today that the daily menu rates were not for foreigners. I hope you’ll never experience this treatment abroad as a Colombian. Should companies propose different rates based on nationality? Religion? Skin Color?

That’s just discriminatory, and it’s really wrong! Thanks but...

Would have gave a 3.5 for flavor and atmosphere. Low expectations being a foreign country, but they did not meet those. The only waiter was on phone most of the time talking, a 40+ year old. Ordered spaghetti of the only 3 options. No miscommunication, received fettuccine instead. He knew this when questioned and only shrugged and set it on the table. Expensive margaritas was very basic and Very Small. Liquor and some mix out of a bottle. Asked if came w bread Yes, turned out to to be a dinner roll. 1 small.l, no butter. Taste and decorations were fine, not a 1 star. Price high for...

This is a smaller and very cute Italian restaurant. We enjoyed all the dishes.

The carpaccio is a little different with raw champignons thrown into the mix.

We had the pizza de 5 carnes and the pizza de 4 quesos. If you pick the medium size pizza instead of a piccolo pizza you can choose two different halfs which we did.

You will surely enjoy...
