My group and I stopped here while on a week long vacation in Cancun. We stay on a resort nearby and…read morego out to eat every night and this place is a must stop every year. It is one of my favorite restaurants in the hotel zone and some the best Italian I have eaten. We had a group of 10 and were seated in a private room. The service is top notch. Everyone is so helpful and kind. They have an extensive wine list that is sure to satisfy any craving. Before dinner, they bring bread with cheese and spicy onions and peppers that is delicious. My personal favorite meal is the green hats, but I really don't think you could go wrong with anything on the menu. Everything they serve is the perfect balance of flavors. Everyone in our group loves their meal which is why this place continues to be a staple for us year after year. I look forward to coming back to Cancun just to eat at the restaurant. Our time and money is always well spent here and we have always had a wonderful time and incredible food. We do not do all inclusive, but even if you do, I would still recommend making a stop here.

This place has been here for a very long time. Not exactly where it is now since it has moved…read moreseveral times from its initial opening. What I want to stress is that the food has been consistent over the years and it continues to be an amazing authentic Italian restaurant. The new location in La Isla mall right in front of the lagoon is also fantastic. The food just amazing and made the way it should be. I highly recommend this place!

I highly recommend the Duck Ravioli with Porcini, but honestly, everything on the menu is excellent.

The entire space is lovely with a relaxed, elegant ambiance. Ask about the piano bar/speakeasy, hidden upstairs.

Only small detail was the goat (or was it feta?) not melted on pizza- maybe that was intentional. Many good choices. Nice atmosphere with mostly locals which is always a good sign and makes sense for where located as not many tourists seem to be in this area. Fortunately they did have someone who spoke English (and French I think) who was very helpful and attentive. indoor and outdoor seating options was nice. good selection of drinks including many smoothies. they also had a few desserts which sounded good although we were so full, no room.

On to the food, if a restaurant with a view and an outstanding staff doesn't make you want to try this, then here's the food portion: their house bread WOW sooo good and their vinaigrette and EVOO yes, yes, yes! The fried calamari, delish, crispy, fresh and good seasoning. The chicken parmigiana was absolutely delicious, the sauce was right on point not too much to overpower the chicken, the breading was very well seasoned and the cheese YES!! The fettuccine Alfredo was good, could've had a little more sauce but it was tasty. This is a must try if you come to Cancun

I am not one to leave a bad review lightly, but our last two experiences here were poor. Food was…read morenot up to par. Stuffed meatballs were actually burnt on the bottom. Waited almost an hour for our food. We were a party of 6 and the restaurant was almost empty. The server was apologetic and they gave us a complimentary desert but ... never again, too many good places in the area now.

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.

Shared an appetizer of chicken breast stuffed with spinach wrapped in bacon with chipotle mayo on a bed of lettuce. More yum. But the highlight cannot be overstated :: PIZZA!!! His traditional and mine without cheese. Both equally satisfying. I don't know for sure but they must have a woodfired pizza oven. If not they have still managed to create that authentic Italian thin pizza oven crust texture. We both kept raving about how delicious the crust was, in addition to the sauce and topping. The arugula/rocket I added was so fresh! And they have a chili infused olive oil that is a must to drizzle all over each bite!!! They have a simple but what sounds like delicious breakfast so we'll definitely be back to try that, as well as I'm sure for many more pizzas!!!

Dinner in the cancun strip…read more We decided to pick Porfirio's for the evening from all of the restaurants outside of the all inclusive resorts. I took some notes and this is what I thought of the dishes. Xoajacan Imoladas - The mole is perfection. The flautas, superb. Everything in this plate is a symphony of what I would expect from Xoajaca. 9.5/10 Barbacoa Bonemarrow - Barcacoa is on point. The Marrow is Sublime. Together with the accompaniments is superb. I dream of Marrow everyday. This is a 10/10 Yellow fin Tosatadas - Superb!!! One of the best tostadas I have ever had. The microgreens, the sauce and the square Tostada works well all together. 8.8/10 Salmon - Cooked perfectly. The corn is a great accompaniment. The fish is impeccably seasoned. This dish is heaven sent with a 9.8/10 Grilled Octopus - Grilled perfectly, I can tell by the texture. The mash is superb, they used margarine instead of butter and I absolutely love the contrast from the traditional mash. 9.8/10 Mexican Rice - Its pretty good. It does have a nice seafoodish finish. The pepper was actually spicy. Nice and pleasant rice dish. 8/10 Charred Avocado Salad - Grilled avocado is a bit of a wash. It did make it look good on the plate. The dressing is a little weak. Needs a little more zip, some citrus or vinegar would give this salad some justice. Its a little uninspired 7/10 Service is impeccable and attentive and the atmosphere is lovely.

Anyway: the food, presentation of the dishes itself, and the overall vibe: 4/5. My favorite dish was definitely the steak. The bone marrow is better off being plain without all the stuff they put on top. The steak itself was perfectly cooked & seasoned. I should've took more pictures of the food but whatever- the mango tuna thing with avocado was delicious. Very mango forward. Great alongside some salsa as well. The octopus: OK enough, slightly overcooked. Chewy. Chicharron guac was yum. Our server was so sweet in the beginning but had an attitude after getting tipped 25% LOL other than that, great experience :)
