    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!

    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!)

    Cheers

    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.

    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!

    Momma Rosa - Isla Mujeres (Dinner Review) My wife and I had…read moreour first dinner on the island at Momma Rosa after spending six days on Holbox. We were craving something other than Mexican food, and this spot was conveniently close to our hotel. I'm Italian and have traveled extensively through Italy, so I tend to be pretty picky when it comes to Italian cuisine--but Momma Rosa absolutely delivered. The quality of the food blew me away. We ordered the fresh fish Greek style (incredible) and the carbonara (always a reliable choice). Both dishes exceeded expectations--rich, flavorful, and surprisingly authentic for a restaurant on a small island. The owner is a gem, and the staff was warm and attentive throughout. If you're on the fence, don't be--this is top-tier Italian food in Paradise.

We were only checked on once during the entire meal. Although staff walked past our table repeatedly, no one offered drink refills or asked whether we wanted dessert. Meanwhile, other tables appeared to receive much more attentive service, which made us feel overlooked. One staff member was also noticeably unfriendly. They never smiled, seemed irritated, and gave the impression that they did not want to be there. Their attitude made the experience feel uncomfortable and unwelcoming. Even after our table was completely cleared, we waited another five full minutes without anyone bringing the check or acknowledging us. I finally had to get up and pay at the register on my way out. It is disappointing because the food was excellent and deserves to be matched with friendly, attentive service. We also acknowledged it to a waiter with the owner at her desk. Not once did they apologize for their bad service. With better hospitality and equal attention given to every table, this restaurant could be outstanding.

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.

Every feature seemed painted with deliberate confidence and striking contrast. Honestly, catching a glimpse of her was worth the visit alone.

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.
