    Caprese
    Diana S.

    Four stars 4 the sharing cool concept on a becoming greedy Playa. Expect 20 or more minutes of waiting time with numbers that constantly get closer to your table (there are a couple of benches inside tho). While waiting, don't waste precious time, decide on the blackboard what you are going to have before you get the table (we didn't know/remember there aren't menus). Once seated you'll have warm buns with herby butter and a really watch out habanero salsa. We ordered the caprese salad: spinach, tomatoes, basil pesto, fresh cheese... Loved it. The sea fud wok had slim slices of celery, carrots, leeks, mussels, clams, surimi, some shrimps, Thai curry kind of flavors and shredded coconut. Crunchy, sweet, and we took left overs to go. Cool gringos don't miss this spot, just be patient and remember, at least 10-15% gratitude.

    So i been craving pasta while on my vacation i tried it at 2 other places off of 5th Ave it didn't do it for me left me wanting more and very overpriced and tiny portions so at the suggestion of my hotel clerk he suggested cheesters pasta not touristy at all mostly locals and a few adventurous travlers like myself first off its a no frills place nothing fancy just good delicious pasta..so after first studying there awsome colorful menu board i decided on spaghetti with .meat sauce luis my server told me the portion is for 2 people ive heard that before so i just brushed it aside and carried on with my order didnt think nothing of it until my food came WOW he wasn't kidding omg the portion was HUGE and veryy very delicious. enough for 2 people for sure im a big guy and Italian so i can eat a lot of pasta i left so full i didnt eat the rest of the day and i rearly can say that and my server was luis a very smart young attractive guy very outgoing and friendly and very attentive to anything i need this place was great they even have a little crate on the table for your cell phones and bring your check out in a scooper oh and the pastas are served in a pan cool touch trust me you want good pasta and BIG portions is the place

    More expensive than Mexican restaurant here around but food was good. Kind of hipster place-wine from cup, paintings at wall

    January 13/2025: Dinner with Al/Clem/Red…read more This was an alright dinner with a goodish ambiance. The server "Moses" was a very nice, polite & patient fellow. He delivered solid service, 5-Star. It rained during our meal so that did have an impact. As for the meal...it was a 3-Star at best. My appie was Bruschetta Pastorall ($147P). It was hot in flavour & decent tasting as well. My main was Chicken Parmesan with a creamy spaghetti ($379p + $75p for the spaghetti). They were good but not great. They SHOULD have been great for a $31.50 Cdn entree. And even though I asked in writing to have the meal extra hot...it was barely warm enough to NOT send back to the kitchen. This seems to be where most restaurants in the area drop the ball...taste & food temperature. Even though I ranked this a 4-star it's not really one...it's more like a 3.5. I doubt I'd come back here.

    The restaurant is located off the newer end of 5th Avenue where restaurants are more upscale and…read morethe presence of street sellers is much less. The ambience is great. You feel like you are eating in a jungle. Most of the seating is outdoors but the jungle blocks views to and from the street. We went for thin crust pizza. The crust in fact very thin. I think my Mailina could have been in the oven a bit longer to brown more. I did not detect any sausage although the description said there should be. The wife got the Napoli and liked it. We started with Caprese salad. It was excellent. Best (most fresh tasting) I ever had. Service was inattentive. There was one guy who was waiter and street recruiter. It was too much for one person.

    Avoid this place!!! I've been eating Mexican (which I LOVE) my entire stay in Playa so today…read morethought a simple salad and pizza would be a simple choice. There is a hyped up "pitch man" standing outside encouraging people off the street to come in. He told me he could make a special that included a drink of "whatever I wanted" well since I was thinking of pizza anyway I decided to give it a try. I decided on a glass of Cabernet and even though it wasn't on the menu, a mixed salad. The waiter couldn't have been sweeter, he was very accommodating. I also asked for water and I noticed the waiter poured the water from a bottled water. I didn't question and assumed (u know the saying about a-ss-uming) that they just used bottled water since he didn't say anything. The mixed salad was simple but a nice size. I also ordered a margarita pizza. Well the pizza was just a cheese pizza with three pieces of basil. I asked for more basil and the waiter did bring a side of basil for me. This was really bad bland pizza! It reminded me of a frozen Digiorno and that was even being generous! When I received my bill...surprise! No special, it was only if you ordered 2 pizzas. Oh and also a tip was added on. I didn't mind the tip because honestly the waiter had nothing to do with the crappy food. I had heard that there was great pizza in Playa but this was NOT it! Not only was it my crappiest meal in Playa it was my most expensive!! Almost 30.00! And yep a-ss-uming, I was charged for the water. On my next visit to Playa, I will definitely avoid this place.

    Great place to eat…read more My wife and I stayed in Playa del Carmen for 10 days. during that time we had lunch or dinner there three times. The one person that stood out the most was the greater named Boris. He was very nice to us and funny. With so many choices Boris was the main reason we ate there the first day the great food was the reason we went back
