Decided to dine here for my 28th birthday and it was the best perfect birthday dinner. Everything was delicious and very food. My server was Blanca and she took good care of us. We ordered the moscato wine, the minestrone soup, the spaghetti made in cheese wheel at the table, marg pizza, and the gelato for dessert. Everything was perfect and yummy. We even ordered some coffee and hot tea which went well with our meal. I really enjoyed how they served you here and all the utensils to eat the food in were beautifully decorated. I loved the soup. It was perfect taste and plenty of vegetables cut up. I also loved my spaghetti. Thanks so much for creating the perfect meal experience for me! read more

Cenacolo - Spectacular View, incredible service and most importantly the best Italian Food I have ever had. - Italian Near Me - Cancún, ROO

My whole family loves Cenacolo's. Really the best homemade pasta and all their sauces amazing. The staff very friendly and great service. Beautiful spot and close to hotels. read more

Pretty good. I had the carbonara because of the reviews, but it wasn't as flavorful as I'm accustomed. I know there's a debate amongst Italians about using garlic, and I'm pro-garlic. It also lacked pepper. There was a lot of ceremony about the table side prep, but the bowl was too high to see into and the large pepper grinder barely delivered any pepper. I'd prefer it to just be made well. read more

The food is not only outstanding, but the service is great and entertaining. Ask for Moises. The bar was spot on. We had the Calamari stuffed with shrimp as an appetizer. I never had anything like it and was incredible. I had a baked fish that was uniquely Mexican, but makes me want to come back here again tomorrow. This will compete against any restaurant in the world! read more

Cenacolo is my favorite restaurant in the hotel zone. Wonderful food, nicely presented, excellent service. Shoutout to Humberto and Anahi, our terrific servers during this visit. read more

What an incredible dinning experience. The ambiance was incredible overlooking the marina. Light breeze this evening made it perfect for outdoor seating. Tried the beef carpaccio which was one of the best, the carbonara prepared on your table and the mare risotto that was cooked to perfection. Our silverware was changed with each meal and the service well orchestrated between our server Raul and Brian Alberto. Evening ended with a beautiful dessert presentation to celebrate my wife's birthday featuring a tasty raspberry dessert. Thank you for a wonderful experience. Certainly coming back. read more

Excellent service, delicious food, house made noodles as well as many excellent gluten free options. Our party of four was very pleased! The table side freshly made pesto with gnocchi was a big win for my husband. My ensalada valentina was as equally gorgeous as it was delicious and the perfectly cooked gluten free spaghetti adriático blanco was incredible. Our friends had the spaghetti guitarra negro a la marinera roja and the spaghetti a la rueda. I enjoyed the lychee martini. Highly recommend and will be returning! read more

I have always enjoyed Italian food and eaten at many Italian food restaurants around the country. I must confess that this is by far one of the best Italian food restaurants I have ever enjoyed. The service was excellent and the food outstanding. The price was reasonable and worth every penny. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a great Italian dinner. read more

Higher quality restaurant in the hotel zone. Flavor of food was exceptional, but quantity maybe a little small. Setting and service was extremely nice and would recommend this restaurant to other tourists. read more

Food was great. Staff was friendly. I was surprised with a birthday celebration dessert and song. The stuffed calamari and fettuccine was delicious. Reasonably price with a nice view. They also have Apple Pay for those out of towners! read more

Cenacolo is on point and delivers the goods! This is a place that will not disappoint. Quality food, service, and atmosphere---with a high-end but casual vibe. Solid selections at the bar and a superb wine list. Can't go wrong here...and you'll need multiple trips during your stay. Highly recommend. Go Green Hats! read more

I have been eating here for years now! It might be the best restaurant in the entire hotel zone area. They make a very traditional fettuccini al pesto and it is my favorite pesto of all time. The outdoor seating is very beautiful. read more

Fantastic Italian food! Exceptional service. Best aglio y olio pasta I've ever had. Green Hat pasta is great too.

Definitely a must!! A welcome surprise among all the so-so cuisine in Cancun. The food was superb even down to the bread and Caesar salad. I had the porcini risotto and it was to die for. And the servers were extremely attentive, I didn't have to wait for anything. Definitely will be back next time I come to Cancun. read more

Food was amazing! So much flavor! Prices were good. The restaurant itself is small so make a reservation especially after more tourists start arriving. I wasn't overly impressed with our service but the food and atmosphere made up for it. read more

Food and service was good. Not the best Italian I've had but pretty good. The one complaint I have is the exchange rate that is used. When the bill was brought to us the exchange rate applied was 17.00 (USD to MXN), despite the fact that the actual daily exchange rate for that day was 19.41. This was quite bothersome to me and it may me feel duped. However, in defense of the restaurant, I did notice a sign on my way out that indicated the exchange rate they used that night was 17.00. So just be aware of this because what it essentially does is make each menu item a but pricier! read more

This place was fantastico!! Italian in Cancun? YES! Absolutely. The environment, the service, the quality of food...all fantastic!! This will be a regular for us as we return to Cancun!! read more

We have been in town less than a week and have eaten here three times. The gnocchi is the best we have ever eaten. We had it prepared two different ways with the 4 cheese my favorite, so decadent. Also the seafood risotto was amazing. Enjoyed the penne diabla. The panna cotta was so creamy and delicious. The servers were very friendly. Some of the dishes are made right at the tableside. We love eating outside and looking out over the water. The atmosphere is upscale and elegant, nice dinner music. Truly our favorite place. read more

Nice view, great service and decent food, higher price point than other restaurants in town. Signature dish is the handmade pasta (which was okay). Nice place for a proper 1-2 hours dinner. read more

Amazing service and food! Their Lychee Margarita is delicious. The High Seas Fettuccini is to die for! We also ordered the bruschetta, crab risotto & calamari. The calamari was very different from what we are used to ( battered ) but it was the best we have ever had! Highly recommend. Our waiter was Omar and he was accommodating and attentive throughout our dinner experience. A must go to when visiting Cancun! read more

Wow I had such nice bday here! Very good and excellent are perfect words to describe drinks, food and service. I wanna go back, the menu is very rich in great option. read more

I dined at Cenacolo the day after Christmas and it was AMAZING! Although, my pasta was immaculate, the bread and onion/habenerro spread was my favorite. I loved it so much, that before departing Cancun, I went back to get more to take home with me. For my main dish, I had the Diablo Penne! I knew I wanted to select an entree that was prepared at the table. However, it was slightly misleading, as the noodles were tossed in sauce on a large block of cheese for 30 seconds, and then served on my plate. I would have liked to see a little bit more action. Nonetheless, I would definitely recommend Cenacolo to anyone visiting. I will definitely be back, during my next trip to Cancun! read more

Amazing!! Out waiters Felipe and Jose were amazing!! The Green Hats are to die for. This is our favorite in place in Cancun. The service rivals any restaurant at home (CA). The desserts were delicious. A wonderful dinner, reasonable prices for fresh Italian food. The bruschetta was delicious. Nice outdoor dining as well. They have a huge pizza oven which we have not tried yet, next time!! Thank Felipe for a great dining experience!! read more

Good environment and a great staff; however portion sizes on a majority of the dishes are comically small.

The view is awesome. Ambience awesome. The Lasagne? Not good. HEAVY HEAVY cheese. I was looking for the pasta. In 49 and try to stay fit. This was a bad frozen version of lasagna.waaaayyy to rich. Like liquid cheese cake. Not good. Maybe other dishes are good, but not this . read more

Great food, ambiance and staff. Loved it. Definitely go. We are going again later this week

This restaurant just opened 5 months ago. The owner is from Italy and this food is AUTHENTIC. Hand made pasta, awesome wine pairings, and attentive service. We had a 4 course tasting menu. The fresh and flavorful tuna melted in my mouth. The "green hat" ravioli was amazing. The gnocchi was flavorful and cooked to perfection. Beautiful dessert. Five stars for great service and great food along with a gigantic pepper mill! read more

While at Lagunamar this last visit we visited a new restaurant called Cenacolo. Italian food is not friendly with my husband's stomach so we asked our waiter Victor what would be good. He recommended a dish that was fantastic, in fact when we went back a second time and ordered the same dish. Gustavo was also excellent and his recommendation of the Calamari stuffed with shrimp was amazing. This time we were able to sit outside and enjoy the beautiful sunset and view. We were so happy we took a picture and text it to our friends who will be there in January and they will be enjoying the fantastic food. read more

The new location is very nice and the food is still spot on. It is quite a bit farther away from the Royal Sands now, but this has caused us to explore new parts of Cancun which we appreciate. read more

This is the best restaurant we have eaten at in Cancun. We ate there with a group from the Westin with 24 people and in spite of the numbers the food and service was amazing. It is new,modern with a wonderful view of the bay. The service by Felipe Israel and Obed could not have been better. Our dishes were each paired with a wine and the sommelier did a great job. You can trust his advice about Italian wines. My wife and I had a tuna carpaccio which was beautifully presented and was excellent. The next course was green hats a unique pasta from northern Italy. It was also terrific and perfectly paired with a Primo Cantina Petrelli wine. For the last dish we had gnocchi and like all their pastas they are made in house and fresh every night. I had the Gnocciragguromagnola and my wife hade the Gnoccisorrentina. Hers was very good but mine was excellent. The wine was Barbara D'AstiSuperior and a wonderful Barbara. Desert was a chocolate covered truffle and was delicious. read more
