A tastefully decorated local spot, perfect for enjoying tapas in the heart of Cartagena. I went in with a friend for a meal without a reservation, and we were served quickly. The food was fantastic, and the waitstaff were friendly and attentive. I highly recommend this place!

The waiter was incredibly attentive and charming. The food was good, but the menu was limited and many dishes were missing. It's a shame they don't inform you that 50% of the menu is unavailable, as it could have been a 100% repeatable experience. The house special marinera was very good; I highly recommend it.

A great place for tapas, super central. The sobrasada toast was very tasty. We loved the marinera larvi with flambéed salmon. The ham croquettes were super creamy. What I liked the most was the tuna bao. Highly recommended.

This is quite possibly the best bites of food I have had in all of Spain. It’s a bussling bar with busy staff, expect it to be a bit slow like a tapas bar is but honestly the food is sooooo worth the wait. Be polite and they will take care of you over and over.

A place right in the center of Cartagena, very close to the Roman theater, perfect for lunch or dinner, thanks to its tapas, flavorful croquettes and toasts, homemade cheesecake desserts, and let's not forget its incredible red tuna tataki. All this in a cozy setting with good service.

One of the best restaurants in Cartagena. It’s always a safe bet when friends or family come over, whether for drinks or a meal. The tapas and dishes are excellent, you can tell the products are of high quality, and that shows in the final result. Without a doubt, their "Marinera Larvi" is a must-try; I've ordered it every time I've been there. The staff is very friendly, all the waitresses are attentive, and the service is usually quick. It's best to go with a reservation. Always 10/10

My wife and I just left this restaurant cafe and were totally shocked with the terrible service we received. We arrived at 7:50pm wanting to have something to eat. After a short wait the waitress looked like she was all alone so I went up to the bar and ordered a bottle of red wine. She motioned to me she would be with us in a short bit. I thought she would bring over a wine list but she just brought a bottle of red wine and presented it like this was it. Didn't offer let us taste it, choose anything else; just opened and plunked it down and spilled the wine over the edge if the bottle while she was at it. We were then told that the kitchen didn't open till 9pm. Fair enough we waited and sipped our wine. At around 8:30 I went over and asked to look at a food menu in anticipation of 9 pm and she gave me one. My wife and I sat there for another 30 minutes. When 9pm came she completely ignored us and served several other tables that came in after us instead and walked by us several times and completely ignored us. We finally got frustrated and decided to leave and go some where else. Without a doubt this was the worst service we have had in our travels in Spain and if you are in Cartagena we would strongly recommend you avoid Larvi Cafe. There are lots of other options for you in Cartagena so don't waist your time and money. Very sincerely Donna and Allan Kyd

We just came for drinks. There's a nice atmosphere in here. It has stylish decor and good staff. No WiFi, but that's only a very minor point.

The place tries hard to be like a gourmet restaurant and have a special menu with exclusive dishes. In fact the choice is limited to 4 main dishes, the portions are quite small, and the service is not always friendly (maybe because we are English-speaking, it was very hard to find common language, so should drink green tea instead of red one) Although the products are fresh, we personally did not wait long for our order, the dessert at the end was so vedic that we shared it for two. The place definitely stands out among the touristy surroundings, and we didn't regret coming here. A bonus is the opportunity to sit opposite Santa Maria de Gracia.

Larvi offered us best tapas we have found in and around Cartagena! This place has outstanding atmosphere, food and people who own this place are warm, attentive and know what they are doing. We had dinner with two other couples, and we all loved this place. We ordered mostly vegetarian, fish and one carne tapas. Their artichoke was just amazing with a special sauce that made it very sophisticated taste. We had a goat cheese salad and everything was also very tasty. The tapas toasts were excellent! Highly recommended to visit this place as not many know yet!
