Bambina
50 Top Pizza Latin America #41
Our verdict
Nella città di Caguas, a meno di un’ora da San Juan, si trova Bambina Pizzería & Cocktelería. Un punto di riferimento per la pizza nei Caraibi e motivo di orgoglio per Porto Rico. Il locale si presenta sofisticato, con un grande banco cocktail e un forno a legna che cattura subito l’attenzione all’ingresso. L’impasto, fermentato per 72 ore, è accompagnato da un menu dai richiami caraibici, il cui piatto simbolo è “El Atardecer Siciliano”: un equilibrio tra piccante e dolce, dato dalla salsa di guava piccante e dal platano, con formaggio, bacon e pomodoro a fare da legante tra i sapori. Tra gli antipasti spiccano senza dubbio le polpette fatte in casa, ben speziate. Bambina può inoltre contare su una delle migliori bartender del Paese, come dimostra una carta cocktail ampia, creativa e curata, che non dimentica i grandi classici. Dopo un tramonto a Viejo San Juan, la festa di Mayagüez, le spiagge di Rincón e la foresta di El Yunque, anche Bambina rappresenta una delle esperienze più interessanti dell’Isla del Encanto. In the city of Caguas, less than an hour from San Juan, you will find Bambina Pizzería & Cocktelería. A landmark for pizza in the Caribbean and a source of pride for Puerto Rico. The establishment is sophisticated, with a large cocktail bar and a wood-fired oven that immediately captures attention upon entering. The dough, fermented for 72 hours, is accompanied by a menu with Caribbean influences, with the signature dish being "El Atardecer Siciliano": a balance between spicy and sweet, with spicy guava sauce and plantains, topped with cheese, bacon, and tomatoes to tie the flavors together. Among the appetizers, the homemade meatballs stand out, well-spiced. Bambina also boasts one of the best bartenders in the country, as evidenced by a wide, creative, and well-crafted cocktail menu that does not forget the classic drinks. After a sunset in Viejo San Juan, the Mayagüez festival, the beaches of Rincón, and the El Yunque forest, Bambina also represents one of the most interesting experiences in the Enchanted Island.
