I was greeted and was prompted for all COVID-19 precautions. Sat at my table, and I loved the whole vibe this restaurant! I ordered a chicken Caesar salad and boy did they deliver! The salad was huge (sorry I didn't take pics, I was hungry and looked amazing) they also gave me bread for the table and it was so yummy, fresh and great taste! Then I ordered the chocolate cake and MY GOD I WAS IN HEAVEN! The piece of cake was huge and I ate it all ! I loved everything about this place and I cannot wait to return again to eat more and try other things on the menu!

If you know me you will know this is one of my ultimate favorite desserts. Yup, I even have it listed in my Yelp profile. Cross check if you must. Most recently, I have discovered their daily fresh handmade pasta and their tagliatelle is perfectly al dente and savory. Last time I had fresh pasta was at an exclusive lunch- only place in Seattle, Washington that had a line wrapped around the block during breakfast hours. Who got time for dat? Don't y'all work? Anyhoo, this place is completely legit, with ample parking and no waiting. It's reflective of some amazing cuisine here in Chapala. Come try it out.What I like about the pasta sauce, whether it's tomato based or cream, is that it's never too salty. It's just right. Whoever they have in the kitchen is doing an amazing job. Sit inside for romantic dinner or outside on the patio garden area and it's open air and laid back. You may be visited by a couple of their cats who room the property but they are gentle and adorable. Service is attentive, everything is clean, oh and in the bathroom, feel free to bring A guest since there is chair and table located inside the bathroom room with the toilet. It's that big! If this was New York City, the bathroom would be the entire size of the restaurant. I'm not kidding. I know you're curious, so come and check it out and definitely try the fresh pasta and get the panna cotta. Oh and the Merlot ain't bad neither.

One of the locals recommended this eatery, so we decided to give some Italian food a try. We sat in the back, which had an outdoor oasis! It was very pretty, but attracted lots of mosquitos! The server ended up letting me use some of the repellent towards the end of the night, which helped a lot. For food, we shared the pizza il giardino especial and got a couple of drinks. My orange juice tasted like Tang- not natural at all. The pizza was surprisingly pretty tasty! There was an adequate amount of toppings and the crust had a decent amount of crispiness to it.

We had baby squid in squid ink appetizer and breaded calamares appetizer both of which were very generous portions. Four of us shared one of each. Three of us had octopus for our main event and one had pasta. All the dishes were perfectly cooked and well flavoured. For desert we shared the profiteroles with chocolate filling and the chocolate volcano, both served with a quenelle of raspberry sorbet. A most delicious meal at a readable price. Not cheap but very reasonless for the quality and portion sizes. The restaurant is very warm and comfortable with lots of arched ceilings. A guitarist played soft Spanish style jazz in the background. We had a wonderful time and highly recommend it.
