We (2 persons) were sat at the same time as a four top and it took us twice as long to get our drinks and food. The calamari had a fishy taste. The pasta took almost 45 minutes and did not taste like it was freshly made. While the servers were kind, the service was incredibly slow for an empty restaurant. The atmosphere was chill and enjoyed the views in a rainstorm.

I wish the dish was a little larger (3.8/5) Mains- 1) 4 cheese pizza - that was the weakest item in the entire meal - small and not crispy, felt like a 9 year old prepared it (2/5) 2) mushroom risotto was pretty good . Flavourful and rich . 3,8/5 We also got some house bread that was fantastic with some olive oil , and some home made limioncello as dejastif. Drinks were good with nice selection and reasonable prices It was quite expensive and we'll probably not return again

We went here at least 4 times during our 6 day stay at the Hyatt Ziva. They open for lunch and…read moredinner, but dinner is definitely the time to go. Their selections are better and much tastier imo. However, both times of the day have panna cotta and tiramisu for dessert and they are to die for! I've always been a big fan of tiramisu and panna cotta so I'm likely biased. I went got these two desserts every time I went. The inside is nice and classy. Italian-themed. Waitstaff is professional and nice as always. Lunch has faster service from what I've seen. Dinner time was slower but the restaurant was pretty full compared to lunch, so maybe that's why. We waited for an hour before the food came out. Overall there are a lot of choices here and it's a solid choice. It's very close to the pool so it's perfect after you're done with the water!

We went for lunch, so unsure how the dinner menu is, but the dinner menu does looks better than the lunch. Ordered: - Squid Rings - Margherita Pizza - Lorenzo's Pizza - I actually kinda liked this pizza. I liked the combo of the balsamic and prosciutto on a pizza. - Chicken Alfredo - Chicken was dry - Mare e Monte Pasta - Tiramisu - Mainly cream, I think it might have had one lady finger in it? it was served in a espresso martini cup sooo might have been hard to put more in. Espresso flavor was also very light - Panna Cotta

With its all glass walls, the space was elegant and inviting. The kitchen was all glass so you can see the chefs preparing the food. We didn't have reservations, but the hostess found us a great table. Our main server was Alejandro and he was more than helpful in making sure we ordered what we wanted. With Italian food, I also prefer very good Italian wine versus a cocktail. He pointed me to 2 red wines that were bold and heavy as I requested. Both were just OK, but expensive. Wines by the bottle was ridiculously high. Regardless, he was great in steering me to the type of dishes more suited to what I was asking for and not just the most expensive. This restaurant has been highly recommended by my brother and sister in law for years. They had told us it was one of the best Italian food they have had anywhere. But, In its previous location, it just looked a bit stuffy for a CANCÚN vacation meal. At its new location, though it was still upscale, it seemed more approachable to us somehow. We just came back from a 10 day vacation at the Amalfi coast, and Rome, Italy. We found the pastas at Cenacolo to be comparable if not better. We had bruschetta, Ragu spaghetti, lasagna, and their chocolate soufflé. We had read that the soufflé was outstanding so we ordered 2. We were NOT disappointed with any of the food items.

I'd say the service was amazing, some of the food was amazing and others were a big miss. My favorites were the bread service, duo soup & the tiramisu just might have been the best I've ever had. Now for the rest of the food it was not amazing it was ok, and the worst part was my husband got sick off the mushroom risotto. I wasn't a fan of the lasagna or the chicken parm. I really wanted to be impressed by this place but if I did it again I would just get their soup and dessert and skip the rest.

But now we really love it here, primarily because of the great service, as well as the pastas and meaty dishes. Dining & Atmoshphere: ~ White table cloth dining. Very elegant, not dim and romantic, but comfortable. "Table for two" tables might be fairly close together, but when you stay at this resort, you'll usually recognize who you're sitting next to because you probably met at the pool lol. And we've met a lot of cool people here too. They also set up tables for large groups if needed. Reservations are recommended for dinner. Plus, dressing up appropriately is required! Bellà Antipasti, Secondi, & Primis: ~ They start you off with a freshly baked olive bread loaf, meant for dipping in olive oil / balsamic. Love it when bread comes out hot! We also tried the Beef Carpacci, which were soft beef slices with a peppery saltiness! Good stuff! The Truffle Arancini were crunchy parmesan rice balls that were tasty. As for the Mussels in White Wine, mmm mmm loved the garlic sauce it was in! And we always ordered the Duo Cream Soup, which is simply refreshing! ~ For Secondi, we had tried the Chicken Parmigiana, which was OK. Nothing special imo. Same with the Pork Chop, which was a bit well-done for my pallet. The more flavorful stuff was the Lamb Shank and the Ossobuco with Milanese Risotto; OMG, these two dishes were amazing! Our two favorites of all! What I didn't get to try was the Katafi Shrimp. This popular dish must have gone past our table at least seven times. Gotta order it next time. ~ As for Primi dishes, we've enjoyed the Truffle Risotto! The Lasagna Bolognese was meaty goodness heavily covered in melted mozzarella. The Truffle Fettuccine is always a winning choice. Add some chicken to it. The Pesto Gnocchi is chewy and enjoyable! Pass on the Shrimp Ravioli as well as the Beef Cannelloni. They were good, just not as satisfying as the other Primi dishes. Tl;DR Bellà Restaurant has a variety of Italian dishes from pastas, to seafood, risottos plates, to tender meaty dishes, and they can make my gluten-free friends happy with that option. Dining here is clean and pleasant. Service by the staff and our wine som has been nothing short of excellent! Compliments to the chef! There's just so many good choices on the menu. So you can't go wrong eating here. Some dishes are a good-sized portion, but some are small enough to try if you wanna order another. Overall, we love it here!

We stayed at the altitude so we walked over when it was time for us to get seated. I recommend you to put yourself on the waiting list before if you don't want to wait 30-45 minutes. The ambiance was nice, and the glass of wine we ordered was really nice! I forgot the name of it but it was the first on the wine menu. We also ordered the pesto pasta, mushroom risotto, and the beef chunks from the main menu. Everything was absolutely amazing, the pesto was just right, not too bland and not too strong. The beef chunk dish could have been better, it just tasted like beef stew, hence the docking off one star. The risotto was incredible! If you like risotto you will love this place. Overall, good last dinner in Cancun!

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.

The service is top notch from start to finish. At the end of the meal, with our check, the manager presented us with fresh, ice cold lemon peel dipped in chocolate. All that being said, the reason that I'm only giving 3 stars, was the food. They started us off with a complimentary pate that was very good, but the bread served with it was very dry. I had their chicken parmigiana. It's was nicely prepared, piping hot and a little crispy but it wasn't very flavorful. The potato croquettes that accompanied it were my favorite part of the dish. My friend had the fruits de mer and he was very disappointed. For the price, there was hardly any seafood in the pasta and he had the same complaint that I had, it just wasn't very flavorful.
