Like the name says, it's an idyllic place for dinner with family or on a date in the leafy Vedado neighborhood of Havana. Amazing meat dishes, I got a mixed plate with sausage, steak, and ribs. You can't go wrong with anything else on their huge menu, either, but would recommend anything with meat. A bit pricy (in Cuban terms) for dinner, its not like any cheap lunch-oriented counter where you could run off w ropa vieja for less than 1 CUC, but the cost is worth it for special occasions when youre traveling in Cuba. Go hungry to the restaurant, and leave full! The place has an interesting layout in that there are no walls on the sides of the dining area, which is just covered by a roof supported by pillars around the edges of the restaurant building. Nice and breezy if it's not raining. There's like nowhere inside the restaurant to wait though if the line to eat there is long, so people gotta snake around into the street at peak hours just to get tables at Idilio. There's a reason why they got lines, the foods so darn good!, just its not so nice if its also raining outside when youre waiting in line out there. The waitstaff are perfectly nice and helpful in recommending things to order. Some waiters do speak a tiny bit of English. Would still recommend speaking Spanish w everybody there, though. Overall, one of the best nice dinner places you'll get in Vedado :)

This is the best restaurant in Havana! I went here every night I was there because the ropa vieja is the most amazing meal I have ever had - definitely will be making this back in England! The service is exquisite the people are kind and understanding the setting is marvellous and makes you feel like you are in someone's home. Plus the wine is yummy too which is a huge plus considering how little wine there is in Havana!! I will miss this when we leave and will be heading there for our last meal before our flight in a few hours!! Don't miss out

Great food and atmosphere. The starter was a little slow coming out but you can plug it with a drink.

One of my favorite Havana restaurants. Wonderful grilled everything. Only problem is that it's all outdoors and can get quite hot in the afternoon.

Delicious food, great vibe, friendly staff and a short drive from the touristy old Havana. Well worth the visit and a genuine highlight of our trip.

By far the best food we had during our stay in Havana. The food and service superseded the recommendations that we were given. This is a Paladar which is basically a restaurant in someones home, in this case the back yard which was a relaxing experience like no other. Judging by the line of people that were waiting we knew we were in for an experience. Once again I cant stress enough how amazing the food was. Lastly, the price for the amount food, drinks, and coffee was unbelievable cheap which is definitely not a reflection of the quality food and service we enjoyed during our stay. This will be the first stop when visit Cuba again.

Ci ha "raccomandati" alla cameriera una signora sconosciuta ma affettuosissima, casualmente incontrata nell'isolato. Che dire? Uno dei migliori ristoranti dell'Avana, qui ho mangiato dei gamberi all'olio piccante davvero divini.

Absolutely the best meal we had in Havana. The food was both delicious and inventive. If you only go to one restaurant in Havana, it should be this one.

One of my fave paladares in Havana.
Excellent food, great, friendly service.
Ask for the stuffed avocados and ropa vieja.
