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.

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

I had high hopes for this place based on reviews. Came during the off season and restaurant was…read morealmost empty. We (2 persons) were sat at the same time as a four top and it took us twice as long to get our drinks and food. The calamari had a fishy taste. The pasta took almost 45 minutes and did not taste like it was freshly made. While the servers were kind, the service was incredibly slow for an empty restaurant. The atmosphere was chill and enjoyed the views in a rainstorm.

We were greeted and offered menus within moments. Neither of us were drinking alcohol, so we had a big bottle of San Pelegrino for the two of us. As a starter, we ordered a large pizza. It appeared in about 15 minutes. The moms made crust was thick around the edges. They didn't over do it with the sauce and it was really good. Then we ordered gnocchi. I had it it a red sauce and my friend had it in an Alfredo. Both were absolutely excellent. We were offered dessert and we had ice cream and a lemon tart. The lemon tart was huge and I could not finish it. The restaurant was busy, but not loud. We were never rushed. Our dinner lasted about 1 1/2 hours, which was just perfect. Definitely recommended.

Each year we enjoy going to Gustino for specifically their mushroom risotto. It comes with a filet…read more This year both of us ordered exactly the same with the filet medium rare. When it was delivered it was WELL DONE. This was sent back and then 2 male waiters came to deliver same steak and tried to "educate" on cutting a steak (against the grain in middle...no sh!t). They wouldn't let us take picture of it. Steak was still WELL DONE and they proceeded to argue (even though no pink at all on 1st and minimal on next). Finally they took back and refired and it was ok (nothing special). Ruined dinner. Roberto (Mgr) came to see how meal was and wanted to argue that the first one really weren't wrong and we just didn't cut them right...(guess how that went over) They brought out a "celebration desert" which we ate a bit and thanked them for it but damage had been done. That will be last time we go there as it's pricey and this experience wasn't good. Learn temperatures of steak and don't send multiple people to argue if kitchen makes a mistake (it was a mistake). The pros: Lemon palate cleansing sorbet and Stephanie (waitress) was good and if it weren't for her, we would've walked away. That is it.

We have been to Isla 7 or 8 times now. Have tried so many places it feels like we have eaten at more places that we have not. Not too many places have we gone to that when we left, we say we will be back here. This is that place. Exceptional food, authentic tasting Italian food in Isla. Dan (husband of the owner team) came and visited with us a couple times. You can tell he loves the place as much as anyone. Next time we come down from Washington, we will be back, probably multiple times.
