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

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.

For starters, my wife had the arugula salad, and I had the antipasto. Nothing spectacular with either one of them. I also had the white bean soup, which was very good.

She went with the ravioli dessert (the right choice), and I went with the mascarpone cheesecake (the wrong choice). Service was very good (thank you Daniel), and overall the food was good enough to recommend.

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.

My bf ordered an extra dirty martini with belvedere and said it was one of the best he's ever had. We ordered the calamari, shrimp and mushroom Alfredo, and a fettuccine bolognese. They gave us complimentary bread with duck pate and it was delicious. My bf who has never had pate before loved it! The calamari portion was very small for the price and could've been crispier so I would skip that. Both of our entrees were delicious and flavorful and the garlic bread they bring out to dip was delicious! A guy who I believe to be the owner would periodically check on us and is very sweet and really cares! We would definitely come back when we visit!

The service is top notch from start to finish. At the end of the meal, with our check, the manager presented us with fresh, ice cold lemon peel dipped in chocolate. All that being said, the reason that I'm only giving 3 stars, was the food. They started us off with a complimentary pate that was very good, but the bread served with it was very dry. I had their chicken parmigiana. It's was nicely prepared, piping hot and a little crispy but it wasn't very flavorful. The potato croquettes that accompanied it were my favorite part of the dish. My friend had the fruits de mer and he was very disappointed. For the price, there was hardly any seafood in the pasta and he had the same complaint that I had, it just wasn't very flavorful. I will definitely give it another try. Maybe the kitchen was just off of their game that afternoon. It's definitely the kind of restaurant for a date or a special occasion.

This is new for this year and an amazing experience. This place is also great for celebrations and big groups. Love the decor and the views to the golf course (or the pool). Worth visiting while in Moon Palace!

But Olive Garden seems like a Michelin star restaurant compared to this. Eggplant parm was okay and couldn't even be cut. Salad was the best part of the meal. The gnocchi and spinach pasta were terrible. Only edible pasta was Alfredo penne and tomato spaghetti (but grocery store pasta and sauce are better). They made the tiramisu live which was nice but the bread was disgusting. The chocolate stratiacella was okay and the pistachio cannoli wasn't good. As expected from an all inclusive resort.

As an appetizer, I had the burrata and Ralph had the cream of lentil soup. For entree, I had the filet mignon with mashed potatoes and steamed vegetables. Ralph had the breaded chicken cutlet with a side of angel hair pasta. They were delicious and the right amount of serving. I had room for dessert and had my favorite tiramisu. This place is a keeper.

The menu is pretty basic, pizza and salads but there's plenty of variety in toppings that you can pretty much get whatever you want. They make them to order so you get them hot and fresh and there are plenty of tables to sit and wait for your pizza and then enjoy them. Its set up as a full service restaurant but with quick service feel. The food comes out fast and you can get your own drinks in a large fridge. I like that they have a brick oven set up. The pizza crusts are really good and crispy. Overall I haven't been a huge fan of pizza when in Mexico, but this actually curbs any pizza craving you could have while here.
