Liang ShiSeptember 8, 2014The pasta is INCREDIBLE. I doubted it at first because it's an Italian restaurant in Mexico. I will now eat my words. And the red snapper, pistachio gelato, omlette and pancakes. Omg the pancakes.

One of the best restaurants in Tulum. Amazing atmosphere, beautiful space. Love the focaccia appetizer and don't miss their shrimp zucchini pasta or fish. Wine list is great too.

Elyse EstradaMay 22, 2018The decor is everything! Go for lunch and try their fresh pastas. Get the shrimp fettuccine. Dip your bread in the pickled cauliflower juice, you’re welcome.

Vera KernFebruary 4, 2015Italian food, not American-Italian. The best I've had outside of Italy. The bread is just like what I'm used to in Tuscany, all ingredients are fresh and if the highest quality. Great drinks.UpvoteDownvote
Stephanie PatafioJanuary 18, 2013Fish options change regularly, if there is an option where the fish is prepared in salt water get it. Great flavor. And all the hype is true, the pasta is fresh and tasty. It melts in your mouth.UpvoteDownvote
Kelly OlverOctober 2, 2012All breakfast items are 95 pesos each. Fruit platter can be shared between two & yoghurt with granola is tasty too. Come early (they open from 6:30am) to watch the sun come up over the beachUpvote1Downvote
Noemi DullinMay 2, 2013Reaaly nice place, irreprochable and friendly service (the manager came personally to present us each dish and offered us to pay later if we were short on cash) and delicious food!!! Don't hesitate!UpvoteDownvote
My fav restaurant in tulum. All the pastas are great. The fish dishes not so much. Go on a full moon night for the most magical experience.UpvoteDownvote
Jeremy PerontoApril 7, 2016Beautiful, casual restaurant. Pastas were so delicious that we came back and spoiled ourselves at brunch a few times.

Harrison JohnsonJune 23, 2017The zucchini noodles for dinner were fantastic, great wine selection 🍷 and splice bread 🍞 but don't miss out on the brunch too! Beautiful viewsUpvoteDownvote
Eric GelinasMay 31, 2015This might be some of the best Italian food you will have. Expect to pay a bit more for a great dinner. Also, the design of this place incredibleUpvoteDownvote- Adam SiroisMarch 4, 2013Absolutely phenomenal Italian. Mix it up for a night and come here. The pasta is hand-pulled upon ordering. Be sure to chat with the owners. Also, they just opened a spot on Bond St in NYC.UpvoteDownvote
Andres LunaJune 28, 2015The late lunch time is the best time to come avoid the wait at night also ask for the fish in sea water is delicious and unique

Johanna FuentesFebruary 15, 2016Fresh pasta – try the shrimp, zucchini one. Delish. Service could be a tad more attentive, but makes up for it with the gorgeous view & lovely rustic setting.UpvoteDownvote
Jen WilsonOctober 11, 2019Really wish we’d found the back part here with the full restaurant. They serve pizza only in the front, and the interior is a delight. The pizza was pretty good but the service was a bit Fawlty TowersUpvoteDownvote
LaurenMarch 21, 2017Garden salad. Fresh pasta with sauce. Vanilla gelato. Great ambiance, chill vibe, beautiful patrons.

Katie Berger FolmarFebruary 17, 2015The food and atmosphere is amazing. Service starts off good but after you place your order there is little to no follow up. Prepare to be there for quite awhile waiting for your check or a dessert menUpvoteDownvote

Daniel YrigoyenAugust 30, 2015Serves some main dishes and only vegetarian pasta, it's a great pasta but everything (drinks, food) it's extremely expensive... 1000 MXN for 2

Michael ThiloNovember 8, 2016The atmosphere is romantic, lots of candles at night and the food is good just not the best we have had while in Tulum. We heard locally that breakfast is better foodUpvoteDownvote

AriFebruary 17, 2015The atmosphere is incredible. Food was terrific. Local fish + anything is the way to go. Must visit in tulumUpvoteDownvote
Nick BurtoJanuary 10, 2015Generous wine pours, romantic ambience. Go here for delicious seafood / pasta or just a macchiato after dinner.Upvote1Downvote
Pratheeksha KSJanuary 2, 2019They take no reservations so it's a really good walk in situation. It's cute, they serve quickly, and have a mean caprese salad. Pasta is strictly average.UpvoteDownvote
David NoëlAugust 29, 2015Red snapper and fresh pasta with shrimps are both on point. Sweet selection of Malbec, too.UpvoteDownvote
Enrique RenteriaMarch 26, 2016Listen to the recommendations. Don't mind the hostess, she is always in a terrible mood and can easily spoil your experience, don't let her get to you. Bring enough cash, they don't take cardsUpvoteDownvote
Tom PhillipsFebruary 18, 2018Really delicious (and very simple) pasta and seafood menu.

Sofia CaseMarch 8, 2019AVERAGE. No more, no less. You can get the better tasting food for less at a bunch of other places. Came here at the reco of a taxi driver and regretted it.Upvote1Downvote

- Danny NathanDecember 22, 2014Ate here for the 2nd time last night. We arrived early (5pm) and service was spotty. Had to ask for our drinks 3 times. Food was still delicious, though the fish wasn't quite as good as the hype.Upvote1Downvote
