Shrimp Alfredo and meat & cheese ravioli

Went here for my wedding anniversary and the whole experience since we arrived was AWESOME! I had such a great time. Atmosphere was amazing. First time I leave a 5 star review but I just had to because it exceeded my expectations. The service was amazing and the food delicious! I could go on amIf you're in Islas Mujeres This place is a must!

The ambiance is great, it is mid island and came well recommended. Last trip we couldn't get a reservation so I made sure to this year for our date night. We won't be back. The worst part was the crab ravioli with a cream sauce. The sauce was almost like a paste or gravy, so I am assuming they thickened it with flour or corn starch. I mentioned it being that way and the waiter tried to school me on how they make it and why it is so thick. I am talking biscuits and gravy thick. They didn't offer an apology or anything. My husband says his scallops were over cooked but he won't ever tell anybody if his food is bad so we didn't mention it. I liked the salad and the bread and that is it. I almost ordered tiramisu but I am glad I didn't because I saw a piece come out and it looked gross. Waiter was not super attentive. It is a one and done place for us. If they can't get two entrees right, I am not looking to come back after spending $100.

Blanking on the name but it's the chicken, broccoli and mushroom pasta in the light cream sauce

Great food, service and atmosphere! The staff was so nice and went above and beyond to make sure we had a good experience. We tried multiple appetizers and they were all delicious!

Went to dinner with my girl Anneva and my best pal 3rd wheel Thunder Dawn, cause her husband Tommy, one of my other best pals, had one too many strawberry daiquiris earlier and couldn't hang. This is one of the best Italian joints on the island for sure. Owners are very personable. The calamari was fire also. Give them a whirl.

Chicken parm

What a truly lovely evening we shall never forget for our anniversary. Started with delicious drinks for happy hour (great prices) on the patio while listening to their live music which plays every day from 3 PM to 5 PM. Such a nice relaxed crowd with the owners hanging out and interacting with everyone. The staff is truly stellar and sincere. Antipasto platter delicious with high quality products. Moved inside to their adorable restaurant with stunning views of the ocean and the windows partially open to enjoy the fresh breeze. Husband loved the osso bucco. It was huge, very moist (pork). The chicken Parmesan and side of fettuccine Alfredo was huge. Easily a plate to be split between two. Everything hand made. Bread was delish too with high quality olive oil and balsamic. They surprised us with an adorable slice of cheesecake at the end. Such lovely owners. We will be back! (P.S. The nicest bathrooms on the island!)

Crab ravioli with lobster

Staff were top notch! The owners made us feel like family. Some of the best food we had while in Isla. Everything from the drinks to appetizers, meals and dessert was fantastic!

I can't thank Maria, her staff and the amazing 21 year old female chef (who prepared all of this for us) enough.

My group and I stopped here while on a week long vacation in Cancun. We stay on a resort nearby and…read morego out to eat every night and this place is a must stop every year. 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.

Elegant Italian restaurant that had surprisingly excellent food, with disappointingly and expensive…read morewine choices. Cenacolo moved recently to La Isla mall across from where we were staying. With its all glass walls, the space was elegant and inviting. The kitchen was all glass so you can see the chefs preparing the food. We didn't have reservations, but the hostess found us a great table. Our main server was Alejandro and he was more than helpful in making sure we ordered what we wanted. With Italian food, I also prefer very good Italian wine versus a cocktail. He pointed me to 2 red wines that were bold and heavy as I requested. Both were just OK, but expensive. Wines by the bottle was ridiculously high. Regardless, he was great in steering me to the type of dishes more suited to what I was asking for and not just the most expensive. This restaurant has been highly recommended by my brother and sister in law for years. They had told us it was one of the best Italian food they have had anywhere. But, In its previous location, it just looked a bit stuffy for a CANCÚN vacation meal. At its new location, though it was still upscale, it seemed more approachable to us somehow. We just came back from a 10 day vacation at the Amalfi coast, and Rome, Italy. We found the pastas at Cenacolo to be comparable if not better. We had bruschetta, Ragu spaghetti, lasagna, and their chocolate soufflé. We had read that the soufflé was outstanding so we ordered 2. We were NOT disappointed with any of the food items.

We (2 persons) were sat at the same time as a four top and it took us twice as long to get our drinks and food. The calamari had a fishy taste. The pasta took almost 45 minutes and did not taste like it was freshly made. While the servers were kind, the service was incredibly slow for an empty restaurant. The atmosphere was chill and enjoyed the views in a rainstorm.

Looks like having Italian food in Mexico might not have been the best idea…read more The location is beautiful and the service is fantastic , the food is....just ok They also have a "house " crocodile swimming in the water nearby which is pretty amazing :) H er res everything we had : Starters - 1) Caprese salad - the tomatoes were excellent , but the mozzarella cheese didn't feel fresh . 3.6/5 2) fried calamari - felt fresh and yummy . I wish the dish was a little larger (3.8/5) Mains- 1) 4 cheese pizza - that was the weakest item in the entire meal - small and not crispy, felt like a 9 year old prepared it (2/5) 2) mushroom risotto was pretty good . Flavourful and rich . 3,8/5 We also got some house bread that was fantastic with some olive oil , and some home made limioncello as dejastif. Drinks were good with nice selection and reasonable prices It was quite expensive and we'll probably not return again

READ BEFORE YOU GO! As far as Isla pizza goes, Mike's is very good. But, they recently moved. So…read moreif you are looking for it at their old address (Av. Perimetral Ote. S/N 77400), you won't find it. I know where to go but, unfortunately, I can't tell you the new address. It's at the corner of Calle Paseo de las Aves and Calle Macabi. What I will do is screenshot the location while standing in front of it and maybe that will help you find it. They do deliver if you don't want to pick it up. TWO PRO TIPS: First, They only take cash and second, like many places on Isla, they will screw you if you are paying with American dollars. They will take it but their 'conversion rate' is high. Do yourself a favor and pay with Pesos. Now, as far as the pizza, like I said, its pretty good. It's a long way from the best I've ever had but it is one of the better pizzas on Isla. I don't think you'l be disappointed if you order it. Bottom line - Good pizza. Pay with Pesos if you can to save money. The address listed as of 4/1/25 (Av. Perimetral Ote. S/N 77400) is NOT correct. I hope this helps. Bon appétit, y'all.

They didn't have the cannoli but what would you expect after a storm? I also asked if they could deliver ice, as we really don't want to head. Our guy delivered, on time, with ice! The pizza was warm and delicious and the ice was...well...still ice! He earned a big tip. I highly recommend!
