They send out a flatbread with goat cheese for a complimentary bread starter. Then we ordered 2 appetizers, the mussels in a white wine sauce and the duck confit tacos with a mango chutney. Mussels were so flavorful delicious! The duck tacos were served with 3 and so tender and perfectly paired with the mango chutney. For our entree we had lobster risotto which was the special. It was a big lobster tail over the risotto, very very flavorful and filling! We also got the buttered tuna which was highly recommended by other reviews I read and it definitely was worth getting! They sent out a chocolate soufflé style cake for my boyfriend's birthday, it was very good! Luis was our server and he was very very attentive, knowledgeable and funny! We definitely will recommend this place to others and will be back next time we are in Playa Del Carmen!

By the look of their tan seemed to be there a while. Asked them, if you only had one night in PDC. Which restaurant would you absolutely hit? They said Nessya! I talked to the cook, he said the owner is French. Interesting. The whole restaurant is falafel based. Hence the name. They have pitas. Plates. Hummus. And even a falafel burger. The pita sandwich and the hummus was so good! They also have Mexican aguas de sabores or sweet waters, I got the tamarind flavor. Definitely a recommended spot of a delicious lunch

This held true at El Mediterraneo as well. The best bite of the entire trip, my husband and I both agree, was the lamb shawarma. I should have ordered 100 of those and just eaten them all as my main course. I also IMMENSELY enjoyed the beef carpaccio. The chicken cordon bleu was straight up WEIRD. It had orange cheddar cheese instead of swiss, and was covered in a weird diced tomato concoction. It's definitely not a classic cordon bleu. The shrimp and saffron pasta was pretty boring and reminded me a bit of hospital food. If you stick to a feast of appetizers you will probably be in for a treat!

Not as big as the one at Spice but it had a decent selection. They have an omelet area where you can select your items to put in it. They have a small selection of fresh fruit, meats and cheeses. Most of the food was traditional Mexican items. So if you're looking for bacon and eggs, you'll have to ask for it. The restaurant overlooks a small pool area. It almost looks like a Vegas pool/hotel just without all the craziness. It's definitely the calmer side of the resort. Overall this was a nice little restaurant with good food. I would go again if staying at the resort.

My absolute most favorite restaurant in Playa del Carmen (visited several days in a row)…read more Conveniently located just a block or so from 5th, and just steps from the beach. Checked it our while on vacation with a Greek friend and she confirmed they are indeed legit! The service was attentive and friendly. Owner seated at a table nearby, he's even been known to serve the saganaki. Huge shot out to my fave waiter Joaquin. The food was fresh, bursting with flavor and well paced. I highly recommend the Greek salad (two on the menu - both are awesome), sampler of Greek dips, gyro, and chicken kebabs. Also the baklava was sweet and tasty! Saganaki was a miss for my pal and I so I recommend skipping that - tho we do typically love that appetizer). Definitely a must when you want some thing flavorful, healthy, and refreshing on a hot day.

Excellently executed Italian food…read more I ordered an Aperol Spritz and the Seafood Carbonara. The Spritz was a perfect balance of bitterness and sweetness to begin the meal. The complimentary bread was too tough and lacked enough air in the crumb. The complimentary bruschetta on the other hand was excellent, led primarily by very tender and fresh tomato slices and quality olive oil. The fettuccine in the carbonara was fresh, soft, and chewy as I prefer. The sauce was well balanced and quite savory. I was put off ever so slightly by what tasted like canned fish in the sauce. But the fish and mollusks in the dish were all very well executed. And the quality of the pasta earns this meal 5 stars. The lobster was just ok. I'd advise just trying the pasta. The execution on the seafood was only good. Not great.

Soooo juicy- we couldn't get enough. We also had a really good wine; I don't remember the name but it was a Cabernet. Our server was wonderful, too.

We arrived late afternoon and we were pleasantly greeted and quickly seated. A nice solid menu of Italian/Mediterranean treats plus monthly specials posted on the exterior board. Full bar service, and plenty of Spanish wines offered. Prices are very reasonable and repeat that the service is excellent. In business approaching 30 years, this was our first visit and found it through a shout out on Yelp! The business is an American owned venture but very much offerings and atmosphere of a casual Mexican dinner. Some really interesting photographs throughout the restaurant that offer some insights into the island's history, the owners friends, and even her cats! We started with some wonderful empanadas and an octopus dish that was probably one of the best cooked I've had in memory. Great seafood options and daily fish specials. Like most of Central Cozumel, street parking can be a little tricky but not a showstopper. You may be interested in looking for a yard that offers car parking to get off the streets. We definitely will be back and highly recommend you check out this restaurant when in the area
