Really wanted to find a decent Italian place. It looked nice w a garden courtyard. Modern. But just…read morelike any other cheaper place that serves Italian in the city, the pasta was mushy. They even described it in the menu as "Al dente " and it was so soft. Bummer! And unfortunately the steak looked and tasted bad. Salty and a weird rubbery texture. The cauliflower appetizer was turned to mush. Please get a cook that knows Continental food! Let your cook eat a few Italian dinners in the US or Mexico City so they know it should have texture and not all be soft baby food. It's a great looking place and we need some variety in restaurants in the city just please step it up. Oaxaca is on the verge of breaking through even in non Mexican foods.

Good pasta, cooked to order, in a beautiful dining room featuring a lily pond. On the right as you…read moreenter there is a huge wood fire oven, the aroma of fresh baked bread wafting out onto the street. My brother ordered the most expensive item on the menu, a 24 ounce steak for around $15usd. Our pasta sauces (arrabiatta, bolognese, and alfredo) were all well seasoned and piping hot - all dinners delivered simultaneously by a team of servers. Not your typical Oaxacan fare but very good Italian style food.

We visited this restaurant last month in February during a birthday trip, it was a Saturday evening…read moreafter returning from Monte Alban. We were very hungry and it was very hot as it was 88 degrees in Oaxaca. We decided to start with a few drinks. The drinks were ok, a bit sweet and did not taste like mezcal at all or like they had any alcohol. I was very disappointed. We also had a tlayuda which was a decent portion and filling but it was way overpriced. They charge $260 pesos where in other places they charged around $170 for the exact same portion. The only good thing about this restaurant is the view of the Templo de Santo Domingo from the rooftop which was gorgeous. Our servers were also attentive.

This was our first dinner spot in Oaxaca and it started the trip off well…read more We came here after a crazy rain storm with hail. The cocktails were bomb and the rooftop has an amazing view of Santo Domingo. I would definitely recommend.

I went to Mystras with my family tonight. We all ordered the greek salad and an octopus bruchetta…read more which came grilled on a skewer. We all liked the salad and the grilled octopus. It was nice to have greens as Mexican food doesn't have much of them. The restaurant architecture is beautiful, with Ibiza vibes and they have performers performing live music some nights of the week. Overall I recommend Mystras to anyone who wants to have some light, healthy food!
