    Pepperoni pizza
    Judy B.

    Who knew I'd come to a little Mexican Island for the most exquisite Italian food. All the pastas are homemade and it shows. We started out with their meatballs (cut with a fork tender) and mussels (delish). Their Cesar salad was equally amazing and could be shared with 3 people. I had the lobster fettuccine Alfredo, so so good! My husband had the seafood pasta that came out foil wrapped and steaming. Seafood was tender full of flavor. Their ragu meat sauce tortellini was homemade and the sauce was heavenly! Even the pepperoni pizza had great crust and sauce flavor. Size was big! We sat outside on the cobblestone street where they come by and play music, such an amazing experience. Service is friendly! Oh and our wine and cosmopolitan perfect! This is a must stop in Isla Mujeres

    Pepperoni pizza - YUM

    Great service, excellent food, and really enjoyed the off menu cocktail (whiskey sour)

    One of the best restaurants on the island. Great service they were very attentive and the food was great we got the fried lasagna as an appetizers, salmon, spaghetti and meatballs as the entree and the two desserts were the best. Not expensive at all definitely give it a try

    Friendly staff, very welcoming and accommodating for our orders via substituting sauces or pasta. Semi dressier vibe. Seated outside for a table of 4 & weather was beautiful. Daughter got her usual spaghetti with a sweet red sauce. She ate the entire bowl. I ordered the filleted fish limone capers. Very Delicious. Fruta Del Mar for my friend & she loved it. Chicken Alfredo which wasn't as creamy to me but daughter ate it all nonetheless. We all enjoyed our dinner & would recommend when in Isla Mujeres.

    I made my reservation through Google messaging app. They were responsive and accommodated our birthday party. Food quality, service, and atmosphere were great.

    Yummy pear, spinach gorgonzola and walnut salad

    So tasty! I got the basil and pine nut pasta and it was exactly what I needed tonight. The focaccia was yummy too, delivered with a cool bottle of vinegar and oil for dipping. Service wasn't super fast, but it was worth the wait.

    The bread basket and dip- so darn good!

    Walking out the backside of our hotel, we came across this gem. Preface: my son is a pizza, plain bread, chicken nuggets eating 9 year old. We ordered the Bruschetta (ahhmazing!) A bacon and cheese pizza (omg!) And the pasta carbonara (so darn delicious) my son tried everything. My husband and I were in shock. He could not stop eating and trying everything...and neither could we. Probably the best carbonara I've ever had. They serve fresh bread basket with the olive oil and vinaigrette dip. Thanks to the picky eater, we had 2 baskets. I am back in Cancun and I desperately want to go back! Lol. Give this joint a try, I think you'll love!

    So fantastic, fresh and fabulous!!

    Back in town and this was a must once again! This time it was a little different for us.. So, let me tell you something, we were just in Sorrento, Positano and Rome, Italy and these Italian's here on the island of Mujer's can beat any dish that we had in Italy any day of the week - hands down..!!! The Burrata cheese was out of this world fresh and creamy. Then, their bread SO delicious! We had the Pesto pasta - my all time favorite - O.M.G - amazing. Then, the hubby had Tortellini with Italian sausage but the red sauce was so unique - amazing flavors!! Will be back to check out their Pizza..

    Ravioli meat sauce

    Food amazing service fantastic and every thing else fantastic I had the ravioli with meat sauce it was amazing

    The best Italian food !!! I can't say how good this place is totally come and try it totally worth it Pizzas pastas and the sangría Plus the staff sooo so good 5 starts plus

    Bolognese lasagnas!! Out of this world. Order it!!
    Angie H.

    I am unsure why on my seventh visit to the island, I finally made it to Mama Rosa. This place is absolutely amazing. They take really good care of you and welcome you from the minute you come in. They give you a nice little basket of bread and if you ask for it they'll bring you some olive oil and balsamic to dip it in. We came with a group of four so they were great they got us drinks and they got a nice bottle of wine and everybody was happy with it. I ordered the lasagna. It was out of this world. The first time I came I came with just a friend last week and I ordered the tricolor gnocchi. It was OK. I was not that thrilled but my friend had ordered the lasagna and let me have a bite. So when the girls got here I knew we had to go back and get some of this Yum Yum. So we started off with the bruschetta which was really really good and like normal bruschetta but still super yummy and then one of the girls got the salmon and the cream salmon. The other got the tomato and pasta. Overall everything was super happy with our meal.

    It was okay for a Mexican island Italian. I know it sounds strange ti expect great Italian food in Mexico but it was actually decent. I don't know how much I would go back if I was on the island again but it was bad. The appetizers were where it was at. The bread basket and the bruschetta.

If I remember correctly, they are "cash only." I think you can pay in USD if you want/need to. Parking in the immediate area is limited. The new Presidential (Mayor) building is literally around the corner so the curbs in the immediate area are now all painted red (no parking zones). There was a full row of small vehicles and golf carts parked in a red-zone when we were there. None were towed or got tickets but they had been newly painted in the past 48 hours (April '26). I would suggest finding "yellow" parking in the immediate surrounding area and walk to Sonny's. There is also a Sonny's "south" located at The Joint close to Punta Sur. However, they only have a limited menu of about 6 pizzas. We prefer the original located downtown. Bottom line - Delicious pizza . Worth the visit. Parking is limited. Bon appétit, y'all.

Before the first bite ever reaches your table, the aroma from the wood fired oven begins its quiet work, drifting through the dining room like an invisible invitation. We were greeted by the most beautiful hostess, wearing a smile that could stop time. She looked like she had stepped straight out of a Diego Rivera painting, her luminous skin glowing beneath the warm light, bold red lipstick blooming like a scarlet flower against a sleek black evening gown. Every feature seemed painted with deliberate confidence and striking contrast. Honestly, catching a glimpse of her was worth the visit alone. Then there was Jonathan, one of the bussers, a towering gentle giant whose quiet presence anchored the room. Despite his imposing stature, he possessed an intuitive understanding of the subtle choreography that defines exceptional fine dining. It often felt as though he could read our minds. Just as a question was beginning to form or a decision lingered between possibilities, he would appear with the recommendation we didn't yet know we needed. His timing was flawless, his attentiveness effortless, and his hospitality transformed service into something that felt choreographed!

    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.

The pizza was warm and delicious and the ice was...well...still ice! He earned a big tip. I highly recommend!
