Archie's - Réserver une table

My wife and I enjoyed lunch at Archie's just the other day. Archie's is tucked away in one of the ground floor corners of CC San Fernando Plaza. The restaurant is cheery and informal... and the wait staff prompt and courteous. Our server, Suly, was very gracious and helpful.Archie's purports to be a restaurant with an Italian specialty. My wife ordered a pasta dish (which came with a salad) and a personal-sized "Archie's" model pizza. The salad was fresh and crisp, while the pasta dish was just OK. The personal pan pizza was much larger than expected. The "Archie's" pizza is stopped with a very light tomato sauce and garnished with salami and prosciutto. Although the toppings were fresh and flavorful, the crust left much to be desired. The pizza would do in a pinch, but there are better pizzas available in the city of eternal spring. The prices are noticeably higher than other parts of the city. If I had to eat here again, I would stick with the salad.

First, it all depends on how long you plan to be in Medellin. If your stay is short, there are much better local eateries I'd recommend because you'll get to experience the local traditions. If you have an extended stay, it is really good pizza...commensurate with what you would find at an Italian restaurant in the US. Also works very well if you have kids as I'm sure they'll need their pizza fix at some point of your trip. It is located in the San Fernando plaza so it is very safe and convenient for the nearby hotels. I plan on coming back for future lunch while I'm on my vacation.

We visit this place at El Tesoro and the experience was not so good according to the price paid. Pizza ingredients were scarce, carborara pasta so so, there were only 2 options of juice for kids and the waiter was a little grumpy. I have been there several times and always think not coming again.. but when kids cook their own pizza they take the decision and not their parents!!!

Not a great spot, but I gave them a try after an OK experience a few years ago. The tomato soup was very good but the cesar salad was awful. Dressing was bland and croutons were soggy as were the cheese crisps.

The highlight was the kids can make their own pizza. The pasta with meat was also delectable. On the whole the experience was good and kids loved it.
