Our server "Nico" was a super pleasant fellow that worked very hard to provide great table service, albeit just a dash slow. I think it was a kitchen issue. The ambiance was casual but still nice. Crushed stone floor for this indoor/outdoor restaurant. Restaurant served no charge table bread with dips. The food was delicious. I had the off-menu fettuccine Alfredo ($190p) with Ham & Mushrooms (they forgot the mushrooms)? Even without the mushrooms it was delicious. This is a definite do over.

I paid at the bar, no problem. All in all, a delicious experience, and we would definitely return!

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.

The dishes are authentic to Italy, and in my own personal experiences traveling there, better than most restaurants you can afford let alone find, in Italy. Multiple attendants serve you - we didn't have a moment without hydration or service. They were very attentive and very professional. Also, we had a great table in the back, for our group of 9. Before I end this review I have to give my extreme props to this place- for getting Italian food right!! Every dish I took a bite of, I wanted to cry. This is how it's meant to be- Italian food AND eating out at a restaurant. The espresso at the end - made me cry. So perfect.

She went with the ravioli dessert (the right choice), and I went with the mascarpone cheesecake (the wrong choice).

I would not traditionally try Italian food in Mexico, but I am grateful that I did. The atmosphere is amazing. The vibe is still traditional Mexico, but the food is spot on Italian. Being somebody who loves traditional, Italian food and good wine I am overly pleased with the outcome of our visit here. The service is exceptional.

Now the food! I am from a very prominent Italian food area and I was very impressed with that selections. The lasagna was stunning, the carbonara needed nothing and gave you that sweet hug from the inside you dream of. I got the ravioli with butternut squash and ricotta. I was stunned.
