Green hat ravioli - melts in your mouth! Great service, sat by the water - beautiful spot!

We went to Cenacolo - Laguna during our trip to Cancun for our anniversary. We sat at a table outside. We ordered 2 drinks (1 passion martini each) that had virtually zero alcohol in it. We had the calamari stuffed with shrimp for the appetizer. Small portion for the price and lacked overall flavor. For our main, I had the Risotto de Mare and my husband had the carbonara. The risotto was undercooked and SO oily I couldn't eat more than a couple bites. My husband had the carbonara which he said was "fine." For the price, it was underwhelming. The reason for such a low rating is due to what happened during the main course and how they handled it. I looked at the table and noticed it was moving...it was covered in bugs (we're talking upwards of 50) crawling off of my risotto bowl. I left the table as I started feeling ill. We told the staff what happened, and they just said "oh. want to have your anniversary cake inside?" I know we were sitting outside but you'd think they'd do more to apologize and accommodate...like saying sorry to start. We said no thank you to the cake, asked for the bill, paid, and left. It was the worst meal we had in all of Cancun. I do not recommend it. read more

This is an upscale restaurant that delivers exquisite presentation and quality Italian food. As a vacationer with my family I honestly did not expect to be eating Italian food but I am very glad we dined here. The quality and freshness are very apparent in every meal ordered. Traveling with a large group was made convenient with a reservation and round table to seat everyone comfortably. The servers were very accommodating as well and helped create a hospitable atmosphere. While it is on the pricier side, it made for good leftovers the next day and a great experience overall. Food: As a table we ordered two shrimp stuffed calamari and I split the fettuccine bolognese and margarita pizza. Before getting our meals we were also served different assortments of bread with ricotta cheese and another sauce that was extremely spicy (I liked it but it was too hot for me!). The first served was the calamari. This may look like a small amount but the one piece I had was very delicious. Presentation was nice and quality was good. If you're willing to pay the big bucks for a few pieces I'd recommend it. Next were the fettuccine and pizza. It's unreal how you can taste the freshness in the fettuccine! I throughly enjoyed it as well as the margarita pizza. Pizza is also great- it's thin crust and has the perfect amount of mozzarella. I took two pieces for leftovers and enjoyed it the next day. Drinks: I ordered the Bellini and the martini passion. The bellini was light and bubbly and great to sip on throughout the night. The martini was also great too. It is sweet and I could hardly taste the alcohol. If I were to choose between the two I think I would've ordered just the bellini because it is lighter and went well with my meals. Overall my group and I had a great experience at this restaurant. Like I stated before, it is pricey but if you are willing to put some big bucks into high quality food then you will be rewarded. I'm glad I was able to try this spot and highly recommend the food! read more

In the last few years Cenacolo has move a couple times and they now have relocated their Hotel Zone location to the new Marina shopping area just north. I have rated them a 5 star at their two previous locations and I am doing it here again. The location is new construction and has a very open feel with a wonderful patio area overlooking the marina. I made my reservation using Open Table and they called that morning of the confirm. On our way to the restaurant we were held up in traffic and would be arriving late. I called to alert them and they held our table. The menu is still as good with great pasta and seafood dishes. It has a much larger bar area than at its previous locations and it's a full bar. The table service was awesome and we truly enjoyed our meal. The new shopping area is much better to walk around at this location and it has plenty to do. It's a short taxi ride from the hotel zone or even a bus ride on the R-2 will get you there. Enjoy! read more

Food was amazing tasted super good the service was so good the waiters made sure they were with you whenever you needed it and were super kind. And it was really quiet in there! Five stars for a good reason! read more

The hotel recommended this restaurant and we took a chance since we didn't have a reservation. The hostess found a table for my family of 5! The waitress was polite, prompt and professional. She pointed out the specials and made recommendations. The table side pasta prepared in the cheese wheel is the way to go! The only opportunity is the bathrooms. You had to leave the restaurant and navigate the wet dimly lit stairs. The wait staff team of Blanca and Anselmo were 5-star all by themselves. Next time I'm Cancun we will surly dine here!!! read more

Terrific service and dinners. The pasta and salads were exceptional and well worth the cost

I went with low expectations...after all, you don't go to Cancun for Italian. Walked past it on Friday and decided to try it on Saturday. I ordered the Bolognese & my wife ordered the Ravioli...the Bolognese was top 5 of my lifetime and her ravioli were the best either of us have ever had. Service was great and we got to sit outside and witness a great sunset...the next day we were scheduled to eat at a top 5 Mexican restaurant, we cancelled and went back to Cenacolo...can't recommend it enough. read more

What a view! The inside of the restaurant isn't too big with most of the dining space to the right of the long open kitchen. The first thing you notice is the delicious smell, everything smells so good and fresh! We were sat outside at a table along their long covered patio. It's on the second floor overlooking the lagoon and a luxury's garden and docks. Despite the cloud weather, we were just able to see the sunset during our cocktails. We started with a lychee martini and strawberry margarita. From there we tried the bruschetta burrata; spectacular burrata!! They have three different preparations and I imagine they are all equally as amazing. From there we sort of opted for the carby cheese filled dinner and did the green hats and the table side cheesy spaghetti. The green hats were recommended to us for their daily fresh preparation and the table side cheese wheel pasta for the show. Both were so unbelievably tasty and you could taste how fresh the pasta was. We were so full after all that we didn't have time for dessert. We did both have a glass of wine and thought the service was so good. All the food that got delivered around us look spectacular as well. If you want Italian food during your time in Cancun, this is the place to go. read more

Great Italian food, exceptional service and really great prices! Cenacolo's new location is right on the lagoon, and provides amazing scenery as you're eating dinner.

I stopped in Cenacolo for lunch one when I was in town. Italian food is never my go to, but the menu posted outside listed some delicious appetizers and I was intrigued. I opted to sit outside and enjoy the view, which was a bit hot, but bearable. The service was top notch and I really was treated like a queen. I started with a the salmon carpaccio appetizer. Geez, they should have warned me that this plate could be shared between 6! But I managed to inhale it all, it was that good! For my entree I wanted to try a risotto. I asked my server which one he recommended and went with his choice. I was impressed when it came out that the portion size was just about right, and not overly huge as I was worried. That being said, it wasn't the best risotto, it wasn't cooked enough and was still too al dente. I'll definitely check them out again, when I'm in town next, and try some other dishes! read more

Absolutely phenomenal. We had the tuna carpaccio, house made pasta, divorce bowl, and angry shrimp and loved everything. While many in Cancun eat dinner much later, we opted for a dinner around 5:45pm and caught the beautiful sunset. This was a great dining experience that I'll happily enjoy again on a future visit to cancun. read more

We absolutely loved this place! I highly recommend choosing one of the pastas made table side--best pork cheek carbonara I've ever had! I also recommend asking for a table outside as you get an incredible view of the marina. Our waiter was awesome and was very knowledgeable of the entire menu. Will be back whenever we're in Cancun without a doubt! Only caveat I'll mention is the wine pricing was above average compared to surrounding places so just be aware of that. read more

Really wonder food and wine! The service is top notch! Beautiful restaurant! We love dining at Cenacolo!

Amazing. Dinner was fantastic. Moises was very animated and fun and chatted with us telling us how most of the employees have an Disney or Pixar character named after them. Started off with the beef carpaccio delicious, only recommendation here is we have had carpaccio with arugula before and it gives more texture to appetizer but delicious flavor. Next I had the linguine with Bolognese. So good. Pasta was cooked perfectly. My husband had squid ink pasta with fruiti de mar, extra spice added. He loved it. The kids has pasta Alfredo and our hard to please son who is 6 had pepperoni pizza (this kid is picky about his pizza.). Loved every bite and ate the whole thing. Will add photos when I get them from my husband. read more

The ambience and service is great. I ordered the spaghettis with shrimp and vegetables and it was amazing and the Caprese salad is delicious, best mozarella cheese and cherry tomatoes I've had. Must add it's pricey, but it's an elegant restaurant, so it's worth the visit. read more

This by far has been our favorite restaurant visit in Cancun ever! The service from start to finish was top notch. Honestly the most beautiful salad we have ever seen (Valentina). The wine was a good value and the homemade bread and dip was a great way to start. Definitely try the homemade pastas. Overall super professional and welcoming! We had Gustavo as our server and I would highly recommend you ask for him! Only slight miss was their black truffle didn't have any flavor - but they still earn a 5 star rating read more

The service was excellent, the restaurant was clean and inviting.

Yelp has the wrong location for this wonderful restaurant. It is now right down the street from the fashion mall right on the lagoon.

This was just amazing! I was dreaming of the food right after eating it, that's how good everything was. The tomatoes were out of this world-yes I know..just the tomatoes-best I have every had.

Cenacolo - Our surprise anniversary dessert - Italian Near Me - Cancún, ROO

We first discovered this restaurant on our last visit to Cancun in November of 2019. My review from then is still available, so I won't repeat it. Little did we know that our annual trip to Cancun will be placed on hold for almost 3 years due to Covid. One of the first restaurants we went back to was Cenacolo. We were delighted to find out that Juan Lopez was still there and specifically requested him. While all the staff seem to be top-notch, Juan is what makes Cenacolo extra special to us. The service it goes without saying was superb, and the food is as delicious as we remembered. We are in the first week here as I write this and have already been there twice. We already have plans to go back during our 2nd week here. I am not recommending any specific dish as every beef, seafood and pasta dish has been outstanding. Additionally, I always ask Juan for his opinion and he has not stirred us wrong yet. Note that you may be able to get a discount should your resort make reservations for you. Also, we love sitting on the deck, especially around sunset time. So go and ask for Juan Lopez (there is more than one Juan). You won't regret it, I just hope I am not making it harder for me to get my favorite seating, time and waiter. read more

Amazing place for Italian and seafood, one of the best in Cancun in my opinion. Must try shrimp risotto, red lobster spaghetti or black spaghetti who has mixed fish. They also have a giant mixed bowl seafood dish for $40 which feed two people. Highly recommend place to eat if you around the Puerto Cancun Marina area! read more

Outstanding food and service. I would say Cenacolo is an excellent Italian restaurant. It is on par with some of the great Italian restaurants in Los Angeles owned by famous chefs. We tried several dishes and everyone of them was very tasty. Our server Jorge and his partner Carlos paced the dishes and were very attentive. Definitely a place to return to. read more
