We were greeted and offered menus within moments. Neither of us were drinking alcohol, so we had a big bottle of San Pelegrino for the two of us. As a starter, we ordered a large pizza. It appeared in about 15 minutes. The moms made crust was thick around the edges. They didn't over do it with the sauce and it was really good. Then we ordered gnocchi. I had it it a red sauce and my friend had it in an Alfredo. Both were absolutely excellent. We were offered dessert and we had ice cream and a lemon tart. The lemon tart was huge and I could not finish it. The restaurant was busy, but not loud. We were never rushed. Our dinner lasted about 1 1/2 hours, which was just perfect. Definitely recommended.

Our experience was absolutely excellent from start to finish. The service provided by Felipe and Anselmo was beyond impeccable and the food was delicious.

We thoroughly enjoyed our evening at Cenacolo, all thanks to Felipe and Anselmo's fantastic hospitality. Further, who knew you could get such good Italian food in Mexico? Absolutely recommend Cenacolo if you're in Cancun!

April 4, 2026 - 5 Stars!…read more Our group of 6 went to La Pizzarra based on positive reviews here and on Google. It was great!! It was as good of meal as we had our entire vacation- and the price was very reasonable, especially when compared to resort/hotel prices. It sits on the lagoon so there are really nice views- we prefer to sit outside and it was great. The warm rolls they brought out were delicious We started with 2 pizzas to share, and both were fantastic. We tried the BarBQ chicken pizza and the meatlovers- both really really good We all had pasta for main course. There is one dish that was penne with shrimp and chicken- that was the best. The fettuccine Alfredo was great, definitely better than average. The spicy shrimp pasta was ok- the pasta was undercooked but the shrimp and pesto was tasty. If you're looking for really good pizza & pasta- we highly recommend. We went at/around 7pm and didn't need reservations. Staff was outstanding- very friendly and very attentive

La Pizzarra delivered a thin-crust beauty loaded with quality pepperoni and well-seasoned meatballs. The sauce had just the right touch of sweetness, and the crust held up perfectly -- no flop, no soggy center, just a slice you could fold and enjoy. When you're on vacation and craving something familiar done right, this is exactly what you hope to find. A low-key win in the middle of the Hotel Zone. Highly recommend.

This was honestly one of the few disappointments of our trip to Royal Cancun. Was it terrible? No…read more But there were a few little things throughout that just kinda soured our dining experience. First off, we were a large party (9 people) but we made a reservation a day in advance. They told us 8pm was the earliest we could be seated, but when we showed up, they said we'd have to wait a bit longer. It wasn't another 40 minutes or so until we were seated. Our waiter was nice, but I feel like he kinda forgot about us a few times. They also did a poor job of bringing the meals out at the same time. I appreciate them getting our kids meals out first, but the adults meals were so spread out that some of us were a quarter of the way through our meal by the time the final person go theirs. The food was fine, but nothing to write home about. It's a somewhat small menu, but I guess that's fine. Finally, because we were in the last group of eaters, by the time dessert came around, they were essentially out of everything on the dessert menu. It was basically just coffee and ice cream so that's what we have. Much like the main course, it was fine but nothing special. So, would I say avoid eating here while at Royal Cancun? Not necessarily. It was nice to have an Italian option to change things up a bit. But just wasn't anything special. It definitely wan't worth waiting an additional 40 minutes for.

We stayed at Hotel Secrets The Vine while vacationing in Cancun…read more On our first night, we decided to come here and were quoted a 40-minute wait time. To kill time, we sat at the bar and got a few drinks until our table was ready (which only took about 20-25 minutes). The ambiance inside feels very upscale and our waiter, Juan, was great the entire time and was very attentive. The only time he fell short was when he had forgotten our pizza order which we had to remind him about. Overall, the food was delicious at this all-inclusive resort. Being able to try various dishes made this pit spot at Nebbiolo well worth it. Now onto the food/drinks: - Virgin pina coladas (5/5): Refreshing and so good; I drank two virgin pinas but found that the third was possibly filled with rum. - Complimentary homemade focaccia (3/5): Leaned a bit salty before dipping with olive oil and balsamic vinaigrette and freshly grated parmesan. - Complimentary homemade onion croissant bread (5/5): Had a great balance of onion paired with a soft croissant-like texture. - Insalata di Carciofi (4/5): Good "heartiness" from the artichokes and carmelized onions balancing well with the raspberry vinaigrette and gorgonzola cheese. - Fruti di Mare (3/5): The calamari and shrimp were all seasoned the same. The calamari rings and shrimp were a solid 4/5 but the actual calamari strips tasted very salty (2/5) and the texture was very mushy. - Spaghetti de Carbonara (4/5): Perfect amount of pepper to salt ratio from the guanciale. The noodles were cooked to perfection and the serving size was just right. I would've wanted it to be slightly creamier. - Petto Alla Parmigiana (5/5): Crispy outer parmigiana layer filled with chicken and the perfect complement of truffle potato puree. - Pizza Boscaiola (1/5): Overly salty and inedible. The dough was fluffy in some areas but slightly undercooked in others. The toppings were sliding off and it was just hard to eat overall. - Tiramisu tart (2/5): This tart was not really reminiscent of traditional tiramisu in that the base filling was not smooth from the chocolate sable cookie. The saving grace to this dish was the cappuccino ice cream that I dipped into the lady finger cookie crumbs.

The restaurant is located on the second floor of the mall near hotel zone. When we arrived, the eatery was pretty empty. After looking over the menu, we decided to shared the shrimp ceviche and filet mignon with some fries. For drinks, my friend ordered the tamarind margarita and I had our bartender/server make me something without alcohol. Our drinks looked great and were very refreshing! The margarita was strong and my mocktail was very pretty and gradient! It had orange juice, pineapple, and grenadine in it. The ceviche was very tasty! We loved the sweet mango pieces incorporated into it so much that we ordered extra mango. The filet and fries were also really good. I liked that they cooked the steak in a wood fired oven. The steak was cooked perfectly and we were so stuffed afterwards. Our server was very attentive and friendly as well. I had a good experience here and wouldn't mind coming back the next time I'm in Cancun.

Before we vacationed in Cancun, my BF Joe K researched all the nearby restaurants to our hotel…read more Using Yelp, he found this place to have continued high ratings. So we made a point of finding them on the second floor of a mall in the hotel zone. When we first found this hard to find location, we almost got it confused with another Italian eatery that specialized in pizza in the same area. We were the only patrons there, but hoped we would get special treatment, which we did. Our waiter was extremely friendly, spoke little English, and seemed inexperienced or maybe new. We ordered drinks to start off with, but we had to ask for menus after waiting quite a long time. The waiter made me a very delicious frozen margarita though and Joe had a Bohemian beer. We almost got pizza, but I wasn't in the mood, so instead, I ordered Ravioli Di Mozzarella Di Bufala. Joe ordered Pappardelle Con La Siccia. We began our meals with a Caprese salad and Italian bread (pizza dough style). While we waited for our food, I had time to enjoy the nice, romantic, atmosphere of the restaurant with smooth jazz playing in the back ground. I liked how modern and clean the decor was and they had TV's placed around the dining area. When our food arrived, everything was very good, especially the freshly baked bread. Joe liked it so much that we decided that we would return again before our vacation was over and try their pizza, hoping that our bread was a preview of what their pizza would be like. My only complaint at that time was that my dish was lukewarm. When the waiter asked us how everything was, I told him that my food was basically cold. He just laughed and said "OK". I knew that he didn't understand what I said and let it go. When the time came for our next visit, we once again almost went to the wrong restaurant, until I checked my bookmarks on Yelp to verify where we needed to go. (After all, the name of this place looks hard to remember or pronounce). As we entered the almost empty restaurant, we had the same waiter, however, I don't think he remembered us like we did him. He was still very nice but it looked like the owner or manager was present, and I could see he was under pressure to show us a whole platter of meats that they kept refrigerated out front. Then he told us about their specials. I almost felt guilty that we specifically came for the pizza this time. Of the appetizing selections offered, we decided to share a Margherita pizza. While waiting, we were able to watch the cook making the pizza near the pizza oven. When our food was served, we noticed right off that the pizza dough was nothing like the pizza bread we had during our last visit. In fact, the bottom crust was paper thin and soggy! Our dreams for a delicious pizza were immediately dashed! When the owner stopped at our table to see how we liked it, we were too embarrassed to tell him we hated it! After forcing down a few slices, we quietly paid the bill and left, knowing that we would have to write disappointing reviews and never again look back.....
