My father suggested we go out for Italian while we enjoyed our weeks' vacation in Centro…read moreGuanajuato, just to change things up a bit. My 10 year old daughter was getting tired of the local food and wanted something "American-ish", she just wanted food options that she was familiar with! This little hidden gem is like a 5 minutes walk from El Jardín de la Union. Find the stairs and start climbing! Believe me! It's worth it! The stairs take you to a doorway and surprise! More stairs! But by now you can SMELL the food, so these next few stairs there is a little pep in your step as you get closer to the next floor level! There is a wonderful selection of food you can't go wrong! I ordered the Fettuccine Alfredo and it was delicious! Creamy, well made Alfredo! Nothing against the Latin influenced fettuccine Alfredo, you know...the kind with sliced ham, ground beef or tomatoes in it (i hate those types of surprises in my fettuccine alfredo but have come to expect that even if it isn't in the food description on the menu). Traditional Italian food is what you are gonna find here! My daughter Little-Miss-Picky-Eater was equally pleased with her Penne Burro pasta plate! penne pasta tossed with melted butter. She loved it! The portions are perfect! Definitely worth your dollar and on top of that...the VIEW is phenomenal! If you are ever in Guanajuato and are craving authentic Italian food...this is the place you need to go. The food quality, customer service, ambiance and view CANNOT be beat!
