It's in a great location which makes it quite easy to grab a quick glass of wine and people watch. They did some nice upgrades in decor and added more TV's. The chairs at the bar are not designed for comfort though so it's hard to just relax since you feel like you are sitting crammed straight up. Minor inconvenience though. They push Veuve Clicquot heavily here with advertising everywhere but most places are like that. They probably have a deal with their vendor for that. The wine list is solid and the bartenders are very friendly.

Nice setting in busy part of town, nice indoor/outdoor seating, good but not great service, nice wine list. The salmon was good but not exceptional. Menu too broad for my taste which usually means quality suffers on the fringes. Come here for the setting and the fresh pasta.

I needed to eat something other than Mexican food...and so a friend and I came here. I had Insalata della casa and it was wonderful. I ordered the Risotto con funghi e fonduta di Grana Padano and it was just ok. I was starving so I ate it, but it wasn't as wonderful as I wanted it to be. My friend ordered tagliatelle alla bolognese and said it tasted like Chef Boyardee...so she wasn't impressed. I ate a few Italian places and this one was just ok. I don't I would come back here. The staff was great, the food not so much.

February 3/2025: Dinner with the Fifth Wheel Travelers…read more This was a solid meal. 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.

The salads were generous portions with a nice dressing and fresh lettuce and cheese and we're tasty. The calzones were good but I wouldn't say spectacular. They needed more filling meat, etc. but we're hot and tasty. We ordered water and we were brought bottled water. We witnessed other tables getting water out of a pitcher. Would've appreciated the option, but it wasn't offered. Had to ask for a plate for the oils to enjoy the bread and oils no salt or pepper for the oils with the bread. The bread was dry almost crumbly but that's how it is here in Mexico. The wine was good. The service was good. Had to ask for a ticket but again I think that's how it is here in Mexico. I would visit again.

Came here for last night at Playa Del Carmen and birthday dinner. I briefly checked the review and…read moreit looked good so off we went. Restaurant looked pretty busy and the waiter was able to accommodate 8 people at the last minute. Restaurant was clean and nice vibe to it. Staff was friendly and attentive. Waiter brought complementary bread and sticks prior to meal which was good. I ordered the Calamarata pasta with shrimp, baby lobster, octopus calamari, clam mussels, presh tomatoes and parsley. Others ordered homemade spaghetti with mussels and shrimp, homemade tagliatelle, carbonara, and Alfredo with lobster. Waiter was nice and brought sampler on the house, which was half meatball on top of some type of Chipotle sauce. Meatball was not too bad with the sauce. Dishes came and I was bit disappointed with the presentation. Even though it was the most expensive dish on the menu it was around $26 and in US this kind of dish could easily be over $40. The baby lobster looked pretty good, two clams tasted fresh, and mussels were ok. I took my first bite and the sauce had strong seafood flavor which was overwhelming, and it was not a good flavor. Fishy seafood flavor was over powering. I tasted the mussel and other lobster dish and sad to say the flavor was very similar. Half way through my dish, I flipped over the baby lobster and to my surprise the meat portion by the tail was empty. I was like what the heck happened to my lobster. I looked through the dish to see if it fell out and nothing.. So I showed the waiter my dish and asked him what happened to the lobster tail. The waiter said maybe then they cut it in half other dish got the losbter tail.. {Ok}. Then the waiter had the audacity to ask me if I already ate it. I said ummm no I just flipped the lobster and called you. The waiter then said he will take care of me later. Shortly after he came back with one full baby lobster split in half. This was a nice jesture and the lobster tasted good. Over all, the dishes were just average and service was great until he questioned my integrity. Finally the icing on the cake was when the bill came and I handed the waiter the bill, he counted the money in front of me. . After he realized I gave him a tip he said thank you. I was hoping this place would be so great I would want to come back. But nope, I left here going man, I wish Yelp had option to give 2 and half stars.

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.
