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.

I ordered a half pasta with grilled chicken on the side since I'm not that hungry. It was really good and tasty. We also ordered pepperoni pizza & squid for sharing which were equally enjoyable.

January 13/2025: Dinner with Al/Clem/Red…read more This was an alright dinner with a goodish ambiance. The server "Moses" was a very nice, polite & patient fellow. He delivered solid service, 5-Star. It rained during our meal so that did have an impact. As for the meal...it was a 3-Star at best. My appie was Bruschetta Pastorall ($147P). It was hot in flavour & decent tasting as well. My main was Chicken Parmesan with a creamy spaghetti ($379p + $75p for the spaghetti). They were good but not great. They SHOULD have been great for a $31.50 Cdn entree. And even though I asked in writing to have the meal extra hot...it was barely warm enough to NOT send back to the kitchen. This seems to be where most restaurants in the area drop the ball...taste & food temperature. Even though I ranked this a 4-star it's not really one...it's more like a 3.5. I doubt I'd come back here.

You feel like you are eating in a jungle. Most of the seating is outdoors but the jungle blocks views to and from the street. We went for thin crust pizza. The crust in fact very thin. I think my Mailina could have been in the oven a bit longer to brown more. I did not detect any sausage although the description said there should be. The wife got the Napoli and liked it. We started with Caprese salad. It was excellent. Best (most fresh tasting) I ever had. Service was inattentive. There was one guy who was waiter and street recruiter. It was too much for one person.

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.

I would not traditionally try Italian food in Mexico, but I am grateful that I did. The atmosphere is amazing. The vibe is still traditional Mexico, but the food is spot on Italian.

If you have the opportunity to meet Carlos, he is amazing and the staff is top of the line.
