    Marco Polo - Pesto pasta

    Marco Polo is our favorite pizza restaurant in Cuernavaca…read more The pizzas are delicious. I love the four cheese with bacon and onion. But pretty much anything you order is going to be delicious. They have a variety of Italian dishes, pasta and salads too. Their wine list is extensive. Their service is always spot-on. But what makes Marco Polo unique is it's location and the view of the cathedral, especially from one of the balcony tables. Highly recommended.

    The restaurant is cute with both indoor and outdoor seating (out on the patio and upstairs…read morebalcony); however, the pasta was absolutely TERRIBLE. We ordered the tri pasta (marinara fettuccine, a pesto spaghetti, & some sort of ravioli) and a pesto pasta (I chose fettuccine), and both plates were not only BLAND, but all the pasta was overcooked. In Italy, pasta is cooked al dente, which means 'to the bite.' There's a slight chewiness to the pasta. The pasta here is most certainly not al dente. Who wants to eat soggy pasta?! Even the Japanese know how to cook pasta. I think the chefs at Marco Polo should travel to Italy, dine on the pasta there, take a cooking lesson, and learn to bring the techniques from Italy back to Cuernavaca. The calamari plate was also disappointing -- the calamari needs to be crispier. These were rubbery. Also, the baked potato was bland. As for drinks: both mango margarita and mango mezcalita were tasty. Service was prompt and attentive. Until Marco Polo improves their "Italian" cooking skills, yourself the time, money, and appetite by dining elsewhere. El restaurante es bonito, con mesas tanto en el interior como en el exterior (en el patio y en el balcón); sin embargo, la pasta estaba absolutamente TERRIBLE. Pedimos la pasta tri (fettuccine a la marinara, espaguetis al pesto y una especie de raviolis) y una pasta al pesto (yo elegí fettuccine), y ambos platos no solo estaban INSÍPIDOS, sino que toda la pasta estaba demasiado cocida. En Italia, la pasta se cocina al dente, lo que significa "al morder". La pasta está un poco masticable. La pasta de aquí, desde luego, no está al dente. ¿A quién le apetece comer pasta pastosa? Hasta los japoneses saben cocinar pasta. Creo que los chefs de Marco Polo deberían viajar a Italia, probar la pasta de allí, tomar una clase de cocina y aprender a traer las técnicas italianas a Cuernavaca. El plato de calamares también fue decepcionante; los calamares deberían estar más crujientes. Estaban gomosos. Además, la papa al horno estaba insípida. En cuanto a las bebidas: tanto la margarita de mango como la mezcalita de mango estaban deliciosas. El servicio fue rápido y atento. Hasta que Marco Polo mejore sus habilidades culinarias italianas, gaste tiempo, dinero y apetito comiendo en otro lugar.

    This is definitely fine dining in the center of Cuernavaca. I loved the cuisine here. This place…read moreboasts not only location, a romantic venue, and good service, but also food presentation, and taste that's extraordinary. My husband had a Mediterranean Bar-B-Q ribs with puréed potatoes. I had this Mediterranean or Moroccan cous-cous and rice with lots of different vegetables, and seasoned chicken. It was heavenly. The service was good. They were attentive, but also played a trick to get us to buy more by telling us that our main meal would take about 30, and would we want an appetizer? I didn't care for the trickery to get me to buy more, but if not, we wouldn't have ordered the plantatian gordita, which was a fried and breaded banana, very good.

    Stepping into House Restaurant, you get transported to another place. One where time stops and…read moreallows you to enjoy life as it's supposed to be. This was my second time at House and I'm happy to report it gets better and better. The food came with a beautiful presentation, and the taste was very good. Our servers were attentive, fast and always friendly. If you're in Cuernavaca, instead of going to the typical places, go to House and be pampered. House made us feel we were in Los Ángeles or Barcelona. I can't wait to go back.
