After a month eating authentic Mexican food, I was craving something different and came upon this…read moresmall Italian restaurant during a trip to Guadalajara. My party had the Spaghetti alla Bolognese, the Fusilli Pesto, the Hawaiian pizza, and I had the Fettuccine alla Carbonara. We were all very happy with our choices and finished our plates in no time. Their dishes tasted very authentic--I felt like I was back in Italy enjoying their delicious food. One of the best parts of our experience here at this restaurant was the friendly interaction we had with the owners. The owners (a couple) made their way to our table to ask us if we were satisfied with our food. We of course were and made them well aware of it! They shared with us that the wife was Mexican (born and raised) and the husband came from Florence, Italy. They used to live in Italy and they decided to bring a little piece of Italy back to Mexico by opening up this place. This explains why their food tastes so true to the real Italian flavor. Plus, their prices are great. The pastas ranged from about 80 to 85 pesos (about $4.20-$4.50) each. Their pizzas ranged from 80 to 170 pesos (about $4.20-$9.00) each, depending on the size of it. Good price for great food/service!

This location in the Chapalita neighborhood is the third. They have pizzas,pastas, carpaccios, saladas and full bar. As well as steaks. My favorite ws their "tamarind martini" that they no longer make and now is tamarind margarita. We ordered the carpaccio this time it was squid but the salmon and beef is also very good. A salad and a pizza to share. More than enough food with a new drink called a motorhead that had vodka and berries. Good service, trendy restaurant that people of all ages attend. Valet parking is a must as parking in Chapalita can be very difficult. The service was good but could be better.

They were very nice and patient with us as we tried to read the menu. They do not have English menus, but I was able to figure out most of it. After taking our drink order, they brought out some bread with 3 different dipping sauces. This bread is the bomb. Loved it, and the sauces that came with it. One of my coworkers and I split a pizza. Now, let me tell you. This, mi amigo, was no ordinary pizza. I am somewhat of a pizza connoisseur. I love trying the pizza at different places when I can. I can tell you this, the pizza we got, is a MUST try. It was really good. They call it the Volcano pizza. We had the house named Volcano pizza, the Rivadavia. It had steak, caramelized onions, and super cheesy cheese. The pizza comes out all puffed up and it looks like a Volcano, hense the name, and the "toppings" are inside. Very unique, and very good. I would definitely come back to this place. Also, bonus points go to the server for talking to our hotel to explain where we were at so they could send a taxi. Excellent all around.

For an entree, our dining companion had the very good chicken and mushroom canneloni while the hubs and I each had our own serving of lasagna bolognese, an excellent choice. All of the food was fresh and flavorful and the pasta was perfectly prepared. We definitely look forward to a return visit to this gem of a restaurant.
