    We had very bad service here. The waiter was kind of rude and short with us which is very unusual for Mexico. Our food took almost an hour to arrive and it was not good. I ordered a meatball (I wasn't that hungry) and it was by far the worst meatball I have ever tried. It was so dry, and tasted old. Literally, grocery store bought frozen meatballs are much better. Another dish ordered had chicken and the slices were rubbery and awful? We were so disappointed. The only good part of this was the local celebrity swimming by - see pic. Definitely would not come back here. There are so many other options that are much better.

    This restaurant is absolutely beautiful, homie and with a great view. The staff well of I can give 10 stars, I would! On to the food, if a restaurant with a view and an outstanding staff doesn't make you want to try this, then here's the food portion: their house bread WOW sooo good and their vinaigrette and EVOO yes, yes, yes! The fried calamari, delish, crispy, fresh and good seasoning. The chicken parmigiana was absolutely delicious, the sauce was right on point not too much to overpower the chicken, the breading was very well seasoned and the cheese YES!! The fettuccine Alfredo was good, could've had a little more sauce but it was tasty. This is a must try if you come to Cancun

    Frutti de Mari

    Wow such a cool restaurant we found on yelp!! We were tired of the all inclusive food so we took a 5 minute taxi here. Our server was very attentive. I recommend the tableside mozzarella, he literally made the cheese in front of us! Frutti de Mari is my favorite Italian dish, it was pretty good. We had a beautiful table on the deck overlooking the water and the vibes & ambiance was just 10/10. Muy bien

    Saw an alligator here

    First time I was here was January 2012. Haven't been back since then and now it's 2023. Has nice ambiance as I remembered it. Friendly service. Excellent food. Their complimentary wood oven bread is so good and crisp. I had their chicken Marsala where chicken was so tender to the cut and tastes so moist. Risotto was okay, I believe it was too much butter. Their risotto is made in the same kids pasta because my kid's pasta tasted exactly like my risotto. Overall, I'd come back for a second time if my trip was a little bit longer. The most entertaining thing for my family was seeing an alligator in the water! So cool!

    While visiting in Cancun with the family we decided to have one last meal at Limoncello restaurant and I am glad we did the food was cooked to perfection the service was wonderful I definitely will recommend this place and I will be back next time I visit Cancun.

    Food was amazing at this fine establishment. The ambiance is even better and the service is spectacular. Not as loud and obnoxious at the RosaNerga group which is in its own right a fantastic outing. The lobster Pad Thai was amazing and complimentary cream cheese wontons are to die for. They have an alligator on sight which is really fun and the birthday celebration is amazing. A spot right close to the water completes this amazing establishment.

    After spending the day at Chichen Itza and desiring something different we tried this well rated Italian restaurant. The atmosphere was like being transported to Italy with the interior design touches. We didn't have to wait long for a table without a reservation. The serving staff were very courteous. I really enjoyed my passion fruit frozen margarita and my wife her aperol spritz. The caprese salad was good but had a bit odd presentation. Although the entrees were a great effort they didn't taste like authentic Italian. My lasagna Bolognese needed a knife to cut into and it fell apart like a burrito. My son's chicken Alfredo was very subpar with a thin, runny cream sauce. My wife wasn't too fond of her linguini calamari either which was a little chewy. The youngest son's kids cheese was adequate. The food was on the pricey side so didnt really live up to expectations. It was cool when a rather large crocodile made a surprise appearance but it wasn't not enough to improve my rating.

    The food and service was absolutely amazing. The restaurant is stunning. Reasonably priced. Dying to visit cancun again and dine there.

    We found this place on Yelp. Great discovery. Impeccable service, great food, beautiful ambiance,live piano music. All tables are over looking lagoon , right at the water and as an extra bonus crocodile " visited" us. Very memorable experience.

    A solid dinner choice every time we are in town. So many items on the menu that I love (the polpetto, linguini with clams, chicken Marsala). You may even get lucky and get a glimpse of the crocodile(s) while dining.

    The food is the bomb. So good. The ambiance is amazing. Highly recommend coming here.

    Limoncello was recommended to us by a friend that has visited the area. I learned to not really trust the concierge at our resort. I cannot thank that friend and Limoncello enough because this was the best dining experience we've had in Cancun and now my second, maybe even tied with my first place favorite Italian restaurant ever. From the moment I called on the phone to make a reservation, I could tell they paid attention to detail. They even asked if anyone had food allergies or if we were celebrating a special occasion. We decided to walk from our resort to the location, but I think it is safer to get a taxi or bus. While the inside is nicely decorated and with plenty of table space, I highly recommend sitting outside on the lagoon. In the evening, all the lights are on and even with family, it is romantic and highly enjoyable! We did not see the crocodile, but you might. The lights on the tree outside are shaped like giant lemons. They really went all out on the decor. Our service was top-notch. Maybe the best I've had. Ever. We had two servers, Pedro and his assistant (which I unfortunately forgot the name of) who were polite, attentive, and went all out to please us. Anything we wanted or needed help with, they delivered. There was a moment in the night where three of us consecutively got pasta sauce on our shirts (it was a great moment) and Pedro brought us stain remover without us asking! Props to them for having that available for customers. It worked very well and saved us all. We were also guided to the restrooms when we asked for directions. The food was exquisite. Have you ever had freshly made caesar dressing? Have you ever had it made in front of you? Me neither, until this meal. Pedro made a delicious caesar dressing with egg yolks, anchovies, and all other good stuff right next to our table. It was mesmerizing to watch him crack an egg and separate the yolk in between a fork and a spoon. I thoroughly enjoyed that. Then we had the pear speck, which was also wonderful. For the main course, we had the in-house freshly made black linguine with shrimp, a giant meatball, and mostaccioli. All were fantastic. My linguine was perfectly cooked al dente and I loved that it was made fresh! The dessert was the final straw that made me fall in love with Limoncello. I had the tiramisu, which is one of my favorite desserts. It was very good, however, the volare dessert was unique and must have been created by a culinary genius. The dessert comes as a giant chocolate ball that breaks open after the waiter pours hot bailey's in an x shape. And who thinks of parmesan in a dessert? It went so well with the cream and berries. Oh, heaven. That dessert was gone within seconds. If you read nothing about my review aside from this last line, know that Limoncello is my new favorite restaurant and if you are in Cancun, this is the best dinner you will find in the tourist area.

    April 4, 2026 - 5 Stars!…read more Our group of 6 went to La Pizzarra based on positive reviews here and on Google. It was great!! It was as good of meal as we had our entire vacation- and the price was very reasonable, especially when compared to resort/hotel prices. It sits on the lagoon so there are really nice views- we prefer to sit outside and it was great. The warm rolls they brought out were delicious We started with 2 pizzas to share, and both were fantastic. We tried the BarBQ chicken pizza and the meatlovers- both really really good We all had pasta for main course. There is one dish that was penne with shrimp and chicken- that was the best. The fettuccine Alfredo was great, definitely better than average. The spicy shrimp pasta was ok- the pasta was undercooked but the shrimp and pesto was tasty. If you're looking for really good pizza & pasta- we highly recommend. We went at/around 7pm and didn't need reservations. Staff was outstanding- very friendly and very attentive

La Pizzarra delivered a thin-crust beauty loaded with quality pepperoni and well-seasoned meatballs. The sauce had just the right touch of sweetness, and the crust held up perfectly -- no flop, no soggy center, just a slice you could fold and enjoy. When you're on vacation and craving something familiar done right, this is exactly what you hope to find. A low-key win in the middle of the Hotel Zone. Highly recommend.

The lunch sesh has begun and we're going to give their signature Italian Restaurant a proper go at it. Welcome to Verenna Let's get right into it. Shall we. First up is the Bread - Crust is a light and crispy. Olive oil is delicate. Its a great combo. 7/10 2nd on the list is the Spaghetti Amatriciana - Pasta was perfect. The sauce is a bit salty. Accuracy is a little off. Also i found a piece of twig twig in my mouth. 5.2/10 Last but not the least is the Tiramisu - Tasted like it came out of a box. Some of the icing embellishments with the fruit is too sweet as well. Sorry, but it's a 5 for me. The restaurant was nicely laid out with the al fresco motif. The service was pretty good, just a bit lacking on intuitiveness. I had to ask for plates and cutlery when we were on the bread phase. But overall not a big deal.

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.

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.

But now we really love it here, primarily because of the great service, as well as the pastas and meaty dishes. Dining & Atmoshphere: ~ White table cloth dining. Very elegant, not dim and romantic, but comfortable. "Table for two" tables might be fairly close together, but when you stay at this resort, you'll usually recognize who you're sitting next to because you probably met at the pool lol. And we've met a lot of cool people here too. They also set up tables for large groups if needed. Reservations are recommended for dinner. Plus, dressing up appropriately is required! Bellà Antipasti, Secondi, & Primis: ~ They start you off with a freshly baked olive bread loaf, meant for dipping in olive oil / balsamic. Love it when bread comes out hot! We also tried the Beef Carpacci, which were soft beef slices with a peppery saltiness! Good stuff! The Truffle Arancini were crunchy parmesan rice balls that were tasty. As for the Mussels in White Wine, mmm mmm loved the garlic sauce it was in! And we always ordered the Duo Cream Soup, which is simply refreshing! ~ For Secondi, we had tried the Chicken Parmigiana, which was OK. Nothing special imo. Same with the Pork Chop, which was a bit well-done for my pallet. The more flavorful stuff was the Lamb Shank and the Ossobuco with Milanese Risotto; OMG, these two dishes were amazing! Our two favorites of all! What I didn't get to try was the Katafi Shrimp. This popular dish must have gone past our table at least seven times. Gotta order it next time. ~ As for Primi dishes, we've enjoyed the Truffle Risotto! The Lasagna Bolognese was meaty goodness heavily covered in melted mozzarella. The Truffle Fettuccine is always a winning choice. Add some chicken to it. The Pesto Gnocchi is chewy and enjoyable! Pass on the Shrimp Ravioli as well as the Beef Cannelloni. They were good, just not as satisfying as the other Primi dishes. Tl;DR Bellà Restaurant has a variety of Italian dishes from pastas, to seafood, risottos plates, to tender meaty dishes, and they can make my gluten-free friends happy with that option. Dining here is clean and pleasant. Service by the staff and our wine som has been nothing short of excellent! Compliments to the chef! There's just so many good choices on the menu. So you can't go wrong eating here. Some dishes are a good-sized portion, but some are small enough to try if you wanna order another. Overall, we love it here!
