Cacio e Pepe

The story

Crafted with passion, served with love

A Roman Classic Transplanted to Bogotá

Cacio & Pepe is a contemporary Italian taverna that has earned its place as a classic in northern Bogotá. Part of the Takami restaurant group, it brings together the warmth of a traditional Italian dining room with the relaxed energy of a modern terrace — a combination that has kept it firmly on the city's radar, and earned it recognition from Gambero Rosso, the authoritative Italian food and wine guide.

The Kitchen

The cooking pays honest homage to authentic Italian tradition. Fresh pasta is made in-house, pizzas come out of a stone oven, and the kitchen works with local Colombian ingredients to sharpen the flavors without straying from the source. It is a straightforward philosophy — respect the recipe, source well, execute carefully — and it shows on the plate.

The terrace is the social heart of the place: afternoons stretch out over cocktails, pizza and a soundtrack of jazz, R&B and blues that the restaurant curates as its own playlist. For those who want to extend the experience at home, stone-oven pizzas — Margarita, Funghi, Pepperoni and Quesos — are available frozen and ready to bake.

Good Wine, Good Company

Beyond the food, Cacio & Pepe positions itself as a place where good wine and traditional recipes coexist naturally. Whether it is a weekday lunch, a long Friday dinner or a Sunday with the family, the contemporary Italian atmosphere adapts without losing its character. Private parties and outdoor seating make it a versatile choice in a city where reliable Italian cooking of this caliber is not taken for granted.
