Il Tulá, known for its simple atmosphere, great service and fantastic food, is a six-table italian restaurant in the San Francisco neighborhood of Panama City. Chef Valerio himself goes from table to table recommending the daily offerings. Classic dishes include the Vitello Tonnato, in which thin slices of braised veal are covered with a tuna and caper mayonnaise; and fresh Burrata cheese, made locally, which Valerio brings to the table and prepares with olive oil, sea salt and freshly ground pepper, then serves it over thin slices of prosciutto and sweet figs. A favorite dish is the Spaghetti Amatriciana, in which pasta is prepared with a smoked bacon and tomato sauce, which he finished at the table with small pieces of goat cheese. Desserts include a Torta di Mascarpone (Mascarpone cheese torte) served with Tamarillo preserves (a local fruit related to the tomato). Reservations are highly recommended.
