Always our first stop after checking in at The Grand. Classic and casual Italian with good pizza and pastas. Don't skip the Cacio y Pepe made table side in a Parmesan wheel. Service is friendly. Atmosphere is warm and inviting with a nice brick pizza oven. Please make sure to tip appropriately. Even though the resort is all-inclusive, the workers deserve to be treated fairly. read more

We have tried every restaurant at Grand and this one has been a favorite. The service was spot and the seating was perfect for our family of five. All of us but one had pizza and one had pasta. No one was disappointed with the flavors of each pizza or pasta. Desert options were also great and we all waked away satisfied!! read more

At the all inclusive Moon Palace Grand. Since opening the Grand, this has been one of our favorites when In Mexico.

We have always just snacked at Tavola, this time we ate dinner. The food was outstanding! Salad was fresh and flavorful. Carbonara was cheesy, rich and pasta El dente. Cacio e Pepe was my absolute favorite dish. Fresh pepper, creamy sauce and again, perfectly cooked pasta. The pizza is crispy crust, just the way we like it, with fresh toppings. Pizza with only olive oil and garlic - special ordered for our dairy free friend is my new favorite as well. Desserts were good, although I prefer the Bombolinis at LeBlanc Cabo. Spoiled, I know. We will be eating at Tavola again and again. read more

Our delicious meals at Tavola made our annual family vacation even more memorable. We ate there every chance we got! We loved everything we tried, but especially the orange Italian soda, fresh panzanella salad, Seafood Lovers pizza, and chocolate chip cookies with ice cream served in a sizzling pan. Elizabeth, the manager, along with Jesus, Eve, and Rosie, were all so friendly and courteous--especially in accommodating our gluten-free family members. read more

2 stars for the excellent pizza and service. Everything else is very subpar. Lemoncello is like drinking syrup. Seafood risotto had rice that wasn't cooked all the way through. This is basic stuff. Seafood fettuccine had dead clams full of sand. Please leave your expectations at the door. Pizza was great though. read more

A very beautiful decor and nice modern ambience . The pizzas are so fresh and great taste. Mock tails and cocktails both are good. The Bruate cheese was fresh with roasted tomatoes and pizza with garlic was taste which is still lingering in my mouth read more

Tavola - Pinnaculada with and without alcohol - Italian Near Me - Cancún, ROO

Amazing dinning experience! We must have dinned at Tavola's in some capacity, at least 3-4 times, during our initial stay at The Grand at Moon Palace (TGMP). The first time was with our entire group for dinner, then another time we enjoyed a late night desserts before closing. And the last time we had a light dinner after one of the evening shows. All 3 times we enjoyed something different, but what kept having us coming back was Tavola's Tiramisu dessert. Which is absolutely amazing! And all of the various meals we had were delicious, including the squid ink pasta. Which sounds like it might not be, but it's an interesting look to see a plate of black pasta come out to your table. Our last dinner as a group was probably the best experience we had, during our dinning experience; and it was all thanks to our waiter and a special treat he made for us on that evening. *MAYAN COFFEE EXPERIENCE* Previously during our first night in Cancun and at Moon Palace, we finished off our dinner at another resort restaurant with a dessert known as Mayan Coffee. My girlfriend was the only person in our group who couldn't be there that evening, so we had to describe this drink/dessert to her and show her video of it. And we all were hoping to have it again before we left. So during our final meal together at Tavola, a couple from our group who'd been to Moon Palace before and had dinned with our waiter before. Asked if it would be possible to have Mayan Coffee there, and our waiter said he would see what he could do. And about 5-10 minutes later, out comes our waiter with a table of all of the ingredients needed to make the famous Mayan Coffee! Most of the people dinning in the restaurant didn't know what was going on, and probably had never seen the drink prepared before. And could only watch in amazement from their tables at our host did his thing, asking each other what it was we were having. If you're not familiar with having it or seeing it prepared, imagine seeing a cart roll out to a table with; multiple crystal goblets, sauce boats, Xtabentun liquor, Kahlua, vanilla ice cream, brewed coffee, and sugar. And then having it all put together, while also having the goblets and alcohol set on fire, and poured back and forth in the air. To ultimately have a warm adult coffee dessert as the end. What makes it extra special was just the fact that it's not something typically (or probably ever) made at Tavola, and just the fact that he was willing to see if he could; and then did....was above and beyond what we could have asked for or expected. read more

Pizza is delicious , pasta is good but not a lot of flavor. No reservation needed so it works for later minute and kids love the pizza. A bit noisy but with kids it works. read more

Hm...not so great. After a very long wait, our party was seated at adjacent tables. Several of our group had salads. Six of ten (the ones who really ate the salads) took Montezuma's Revenge home and suffered for at least a week. It's probably not fair to pin down the illness to this restaurant, but it's the best guesstimate that we have based on who ate what and when. Wood-fired pizza ovens typically produce thin-crust pizzas with crispy crusts. The pizza crusts were all soggy, requiring forks and knives - forget trying to pick up slices. Flavor was okay but not exceptional. The tiramisu was an approximation. Skip it and get coffee gelato at the Boulangerie instead. I'm not sure if anyone else in the group got pasta or other dishes as I was stationed with the kiddos; one of them had Alfredo and it was delicious. However, the overall experience was less than stellar. read more

Have eaten here a few times over the years and there are a few things that are truly good, the pizza is fantastic, the spicy sauce is really good and spicy, meatball appetizer is really good, salad with big slices of parmigiana is excellent, the ciabatta bread is good. Service was good, only complaint was we showed up when the opened, didn't have a reservation as we just checked in, the place was empty but the girl at the desk said there was nothing she could do without a reservation. We called for the manager, he told her that there was room and to seat us, thank goodness my wife speaks Spanish so she understood the conversation between the host and the manager, it took about an hour to eat and when we left there was still over 12 tables empty. I understand the reservation system and am a fan as it works good, they need to make sure that when you check in you should be able to get a bite at one of the restaurants, not just be funneled to a buffet, specially since we are members. read more

Our favorite go-to restaurant at the Grand Moon Palace! The brick oven pizza is phenomenal and their pasta dishes are scrumptious. The meatball appetizer and cheesy ciabatta bread are a great start too! read more

From the look, the smells, the service, the food, the wine, this was one of my all time best experiences at a restaurant. I wish I had more stars to give. I wish this was not so far away. I'd be a regular. I feel spoiled I got to have this experience on the house. You best believe we tipped more then 20% of the bill total. The chef- deserves most of this compliment. She has done incredible work with cuisine. I'll never look at tiramisu the same again and out of three times trying pizza in Mexico I finally found a place that could make it well!!! Fantastico! The black pasta dish with sea food called fettuccine venazia: just wow. Pure elegance. Simple. Delicate with the heat. I hope I can find something half as delicious at home. I'm not a huge fan of focaccia bread but the garlic, olive oil and Parmesan dip/sauce- I couldn't believe the flavors in my mouth. There's a hidden ingredient i there somewhere. Maybe it was the type of olive oil? It did have a richness that didn't need to much to add to it. I don't know. But I'll miss this place so much. Shout out to Rodrigo our wine Somalia for his impeccable knowledge on wine and making us feel like we were chatting with an old friend over dinner and wine. We miss you! read more

Great spot for lunch or dinner. Located in the main lobby of The Grand. We enjoyed the burata salad, pesto gnocchi and the diavola pizza. Decent wine list as well. No reservations so you can expect a wait between busy hours of 12-2pm and 7-9pm. We were able to be seated immediately at 4pm for a late lunch. read more

Tavola - Entrance - Italian Near Me - Cancún, ROO

Horrible customer service, she said there is 31 families ahead of you and then let some family in not in order. I complain to public relationship and she try to explain how the couple ahead of me went in and still i was told there is 11 families ahead of me. We wait like two hours. They are not honest and the hotel mangement of the issue was weak too. I am not coming to this Resturant pr this resort anymore. read more

Had a quick lunch there of salad and pizza. Yum. Prefer it over some of the other places.

I would have given it more stars if I didn't have to wait 2 hours to eat here. Wait 1 hour to get a table (can't make reservations, walk up only). Wait 1 hour to finally get food on table. We are here 1 week and never once they have calamari. Now, here is what I like. The food. Love our sauté shrimp and pizza. Risotto is delicious, just a little salty. Service was great. We ate here 3xs this week. Their lunch and dinner menu is the same. read more

Love love love this place. I crave the arugula salad when we leave the resort. It is so hearty and flavorful. I also ordered the black squid ink seafood pasta and it was just perfectly cooked al dente noodles with a buttery garlic kick. We also got a couple of wood fired pizzas. The margarita and Roberto as apps. The kids LOVED the classic spaghetti. read more

Had an amazing family vacation and enjoyed Tavola! Service and food were all amazing and top notch. Pizza was actually pretty good! Looking forward to our next vacation! read more

First dinner out of 7 at Moon Palace: our kids went as a group to Tavola and so parents followed. Very friendly service. Small portions. Especially the calamari were small. This is good so In this case as you can always order more. Taste very good though: had cheese pizza and seafood pizza both very tasty but too much dough. Missed out on the deserts as we had to leave to get macaroons for my son at different place. read more

This Italian restaurant inside the Moon Palace Grand was our family favorite. During our week long stay we ate here 4 times for lunch! With so many excellent restaurant choices available to us on property, it says a lot that we would choose this place so frequently. They were so accommodating, they even made my daughters and I shrimp and bacon Alfredo pasta which wasn't offered on the menu. My husband was addicted to the Loretta pizza and clearly this restaurant greatly contributed to the 2.8 pounds I gained over my vacation. The bread that's offered before the meal was also very good despite it being served in a paper sack which we found odd. My daughter tried a dessert once, but quickly decided she was better off at the ice cream shop down the hallway. The service was consistently good and we couldn't have been happier here. read more

Located The Grand Moon Palace. This place is fantastic. Our second time here. Always recommend to schedule a reservation as it gets very busy. We have 6 in our family and we arrived for our reservation and were sat immediately. Greated with warm smiles from the staff. Miguel is fantastic!! The bread is addicting so just warning you:-). As a Diamond member you can also request the wine menu or use your resort credits. Salads were fantastic and well as our meals. Overall antiheroes great meat at the resort. Would definitely eat here again. read more

Awesome. Party of 4 with 2 kids. Went for lunch and found the food refreshing. My wife is a vegetarian and we had a fantastic choice. No bs like squid ink or calamari ink which other restaurant seem to love. Food was straight forward waiters were responsive and helpful. Risotto was to die for. Food was hot and wine was delectable. Among the restaurants in moon palace I feel Tavola is under marketed. I did not go there earlier as I felt it was more like a take out restaurant. But in the last day we went for lunch and were pleasantly surprised. I liked the food here better than the much hyped trattoria. read more

There are far better offerings at the resort. The food just really was not that great in my opinion although it's likely my expectations were too high. Staff was great and the atmosphere was nice. My only complaint is really with the food. read more

This restaurant exceeded our expectations and we really enjoyed most of the food. We had 8 of us and kept ordering more and more food, so were grateful for their patient and attentive staff. Pizzas were not their core strength but they excelled in their pasta dishes. We especially enjoyed their Capellini Milano and Fettuccine Venezia! read more

Service was terrible. We waited an hour for our server to attend to us. Ordered wine but didn't get it for a while. This echoes our overall experience at The Grand restaurants. Food isn't great, service is worse. Oh, and the you tube reviewers get to stay free for the glowing reviews. Try a different restaurant like The Cantina or Jade if you want better service. read more

Excellent Italian restaurant at The Grand Moon Palace. You will not believe it is part of the "all inclusive". Excellent service as well. Pizzas are very good as well as some other typical Italian dishes like cozze marinara and risotto al nero di seppia. We went there several times during our two weeks stay. read more

Came to the Grand Moon Palace for my wedding and food was good. Manager Francis should smile more and not scorn her employees in front of customers. Food is great our waiter Fermin was amazing and so attentive!! read more

They were horrible about getting us seated in a reasonable amount of time. We have a party of six, put our name in at 6:15, and haven't even sat for dinner yet after 2 1/2 hours. Their system for getting people at this Resort at a table is antiquated and pathetic. read more

Conveniently located in the Main Lobby Area of The Grand portion of Moon Palace Resorts, this Italian Restaurant is comfy and cozy. The wait staff is friendly, courteous and professional. The menu selections are good. The Pizza's are tasty with lots of options for toppings. The Spagetti with Shrimp is outstanding. When seated you are provided with a bag full of delicious breads in a variety of sizes, shapes and flavors. Great option for lunch or dinner. read more

I would not recommended eating at this restaurant if anyone in the future decides to stay at the Moon Palace Grand. I have been waiting for one pizza for over 55 minutes now and won't even be able to eat before I have to catch my plane. The one star has been earned. read more
