Vino y Pimienta - Manizales

Went for the second time to enjoy dinner with my family to this great restaurant in Manizales, and I want to confirm what I said in my previous review , The food is excellent, the service excellent and the direct attention by Chef and owner...Jorge Mario Gomez was outstanding . Two suggestions for the place : Serve better quality bread Invest a little in decoration and ambience Be more pro active with your wine list

My boyfriend and I came to this restaurant based on the excellent reviews. When we first came in we asked to see the menu as we had no idea what prices were like. Quite expensive, but we decided to go with it for a treat....Our waiter, the one who we asked to see the menu to start with and who served us for the rest of our visit, was rude, unfriendly, inattentive and frankly made us feel uncomfortable and unwanted all evening. He brought us some water and bread, then asked if we wanted to order drinks. We asked to see the menu again we'd obviously only glanced before so had no idea what drinks we wanted. This seemed to annoy him a great deal, and after bringing us the menus he ignored us for a good 20 minutes. Despite the (very professional, nice and friendly, by the way) chef coming and taking our food orders, and telling us our waiter would be back to take our drink orders shortly we ended up getting so fed up waiting we waved down a different waiter. It was our original waiter who brought us the wine in the end and he told us that the wine we had ordered was not available. He said he'd replace it with a different bottle. I asked him directly if it was the same price, and he said yes. When it came to pay the bill though, said wine cost around 20% more than the other bottle. We complained about this and he refused to mark it down to the price of the one we ordered. So we decided screw it, we'd just take it out of his tip. But when we paid, he automatically included the whole (suggested) service charge. We had to complain again and say we did NOT want to leave the tip. When we said this, he called some manager lady over who wanted to know why we were unhappy and we had to explain everything again. The whole thing was embarrassing and stressful. To be fair, the chef, the other waiter who served us once, and the lady at the end, were all extremely professional and nice people. And both food and wine were excellent. The exception was our waiter. His attitude completely ruined our evening, so we won't be back and would NOT recommend. There are plenty of other decent restaurants in Manizales where you don't have to deal with this ****.

I had dinner with my friend pasta and risotto. really well prepared. the cook is good. the service is good. I really recommend

Our lunch in vino y pimienta was an excellent and unforgettable culinary experience. the ambiente, the staff, the chef jorge mario gomez and yes, the eating were all exceptional. jorge sketched the details of the menu on our table, offered suggestions and eating pairings. and his creations were amazing! we tried to return for a second visit, but it was a holiday and business were closed. we will certainly visit again on our next trip to Manizales. in the meantime we have the book caldas un paisaje de sabores by jorge and will try to restore some of its amazing recipes at home. highly recommended!

This restaurant has a nice combination of classic and modern food with a seafood being of the main course. I had the parmesan shrimp, a combination I had never had before and was amazing. The owner comes to the table to talk to you and...explain the menu. I'll definitely come back there next time I can.
