Walking past another restaurant and decided to give it a try…read more It's definitely upper scale for around here and pricing reflects it. The salad was a strange rendition of the classic. Had more of a thousand island type dressing. It was served with what appears to be homemade garlic bread and was very good. Drink was very good and quite tasty. The entrees took awhile but not super long. Both dishes were ordered the pasta was Al dente. Sauce was good and the shrimp weee plentiful. The service was very good and they used a team concept to take care of everyone. Tried the outside seating but it was very wet and humid. Indoor seating was quiet and air conditioned. Everything is ala carte too. Overall good food and service. It's nice for a family or even a date.

Almost…read more The restaurant is tucked away from the main tourist strip, and walking in feels like discovering a hidden garden. At night, it really comes alive. Lanterns hang from the trees casting a warm amber glow, everything feels soft and intimate, and a live band playing low-key jazz ties it all together. It's cozy, a little romantic, and honestly one of the better dining atmospheres on the island. Hard to say how it translates during the day, but at night, it works. The Food The food holds its own, even if the setting gets most of the attention. By Cozumel standards, it's some of the better food we had on the island. The menu leans creative but still approachable. We tried a bit of everything. The Mexican dumplings were fine. Not bad, not memorable. The trio of guacamoles was a hit, especially the one with fruit and bacon, which sounds questionable but works really well. The queso was exactly what you expect. Good, comforting, not trying to reinvent anything. The standout surprise was the tortillas. Freshly made and easily one of the best parts of the meal. They elevated everything they touched. The meat tacos were also very solid, well-seasoned and satisfying. Dessert was the house specialty, a cornbread-based dish with ice cream and toppings. Don't remember the name, but I remember finishing it, which says enough. Service Service was good across the board. Friendly, efficient, nothing over the top but nothing missing either. Overall Kondesa is worth visiting for the atmosphere alone, but the food makes sure it's not just a pretty place. Come for dinner, take your time, and enjoy the setting. It's one of those meals where the environment does half the work and the food handles the rest.

The place is very clean, the servers are all very friendly and nice and the food is always excellent. We picked out our fish (4lb. Snapper). You chose how you want it prepared (we like it fried).

Oh my goodness what can I say about this beautiful restaurant. My husband and I ate here yesterday…read more We had margaritas, beer, guacamole, chips, I had amazing coconut shrimp, my husband had shrimp and conch ceviche. The margaritas were perfect, service was great. Ceviche was so delicious. The restaurant is so clean. We have been here 2 weeks and this is hands down the best restaurant with reasonable prices. We loved the whole experience. May have to go back today.

There are restaurants you enjoy, and then there are places that become part of your vacation…read moretraditions. For us, Sorrisi is the latter. For more than 10 years, every trip to Cozumel has included at least four or five meals here. It simply wouldn't feel like Cozumel without Sorrisi. From the very first bite, you can tell everything is made with love and from scratch. The pizza is outstanding, the pasta is always fresh, and the desserts are absolutely worth saving room for. Some of our all-time favorites are the Chicken Parmesan, the baked gnocchi, and the fresh sangria--each one is consistently delicious and keeps us coming back for more. But what truly makes Sorrisi unforgettable is the people. Over the years, we've been welcomed not just as customers, but as friends. The staff is always warm, attentive, and genuinely happy to see you. On our most recent visit, Gaspar and his incredible team made us feel so special by preparing an off-menu favorite just for us. It's those thoughtful touches and genuine kindness that set this restaurant apart. Thank you, Gaspar and everyone at Sorrisi, for so many wonderful meals and memories over the years. We look forward to every visit and can't wait to return again. If you're lucky enough to find yourself in Cozumel, don't miss the chance to experience Sorrisi. We have no doubt you'll understand why it's become such a special place in our hearts.

The slice without the topping was absolutely amazing, the flavors blended well together and there was a decent amount of pepperoni. The crust was also just right and I ate most of it. The arugula however was just slapped on there and half of it was yellow - very frustrating given it was a paid add on (I had removed them before the photo) - however, the overall crunch and flavor was a perfect mix for this specific pizza. The Jamaica was also sweetened just enough so that you could still enjoy the flavor of the hibiscus. I would go again and definitely recommend this pizza but I suggest asking your waiter to please ensure you're getting fresh leaves if you add-on arugula. Staff were really nice and the general area is walkable, green, and chill.

Service was good. The property is nice. Trees lit up with lights, etc The bad It was very loud in the restaurant. We felt the food was prepared way ahead of time. The lobster ravioli was not warm, one ravioli was actually cold and the pasta was 'hard' in areas like it had sat out. It's like they just put warm sauce over it right before serving. The lobster was very overcooked. I did see other tables order sushi that looked good but unfortunately they only had a spicy tuna roll and I don't like spicy. I'm not sure we'd come back...

Our service was great. Food takes a bit to come out (entrees mainly) but it's so fresh and delicious. I love that they have a dedicated vegan/vegetarian menu that's inventive and has a variety of local and international offerings. The Parmesan bread rolls were dangerously good. So light and pillowy. We tried the Buffalo cauliflower and mushroom appetizers and both were great. Serving sizes were generous. I got the risotto with corn and asparagus and it was delightful. Hubby had the cheese ravioli and really liked it. We enjoyed the passionfruit and pineapple mocktails as well.

Tired of tacos? Need a break from burritos, quesadillas, or gringas? Then definitely hit Guido's…read more It's not the cheapest joint on Cozumel, but it's one of the best. The caprese with Oaxaca cheese is worth checking out. The pesto is great. Simultaneously smooth and also has a nice bite. The squid ink linguini is a wonderful... and don't sleep on dessert. If you're a small party, the bar is a great option, but the back patio is lovely, too. Service is prompt, friendly, and attentive. Ask for a wine recommendation if you're up for something new. I did. I'd never have picked the recommendation... and I learned something new. Maybe you will, too.

With beautiful trees growing through the floor to the ceiling, the gorgeous lights that twinkle and bring romance to the space, it is all perfect. The staff! Wow! We never felt rushed but always were attended to. The food came with the perfect attention to detail and timing. At no point did I feel rushed or a burden to anyone. What an amazing feeling. 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. It has been over a week since I had it and I still dream about it at night. What a hidden gem!

Visited El Palomar for dinner on this trip after a recommendation from some local friends. El Palomar is located a little north of the ferry dock on the main drag. Directly across from the Jaques Cousteau statue. The building is a charming renovated 100 year old building (very well done). We had drinks on the veranda overlooking the sea at sunset. Margarita was the best I have had in Cozumel and the view of the sunset from the veranda was great. We retired into the main restaurant for dinner . The food was on point. My wife had the grilled Mahi And I had the skirt steak. Both cooked just right and served with a side of salad,mixed veggies and potato. The service was professional and unhurried. Wine selection also very good. Price was very reasonable for this nice of a place. This was probably the best experience at a restaurant that we have had in Cozumel.
