We had a fantastic meal here, it’s a nicely decorated airy restaurant on the corner of the bustling 5th Ave. We all had pasta dishes which were came quickly, were beautifully presented, and tasted excellent! Luis our server was great and looked after us very well. Would recommend.

We were a group of 12 and the service was great. We had a great server who was knowledgeable on every food item in the menu.
The pastas are fresh as their menu indicates.
Their cheese pizza and bolognese had great taste. They’re lasagna was also really good and very cheesy.
My favorite item was the passion fruit orange drink that was on point with citrus and level of sweetness. You are able to taste the quality of orange after the passion fruit. Very well balanced drink and very well balanced service and overall great experience.

Wonderful food and really friendly service. The pasta was amongst the best I have had (including travelling in Italy and London). The pizzas were fabulous and had a good amount of toppings. There didn’t seem to be a children’s menu but ours are old enough that they enjoyed an adult portion quite happily. Just something to note for those with younger travellers. Lovely service from our waitress and a lively atmosphere on 5th Avenue. The restaurant was quite expensive overall but it was a special meal and felt worth it.

Beautifull interior design with a nice terrace right next to the street. We stopped by for breakfast. The food looked great in the menu but the execution was bellow standard. The fruit bowl with yogurt and granola has ingredients that just don't fit (watermelon with yogurt??) and the proportions are off. You get way too much fruit for a small portion of yogurt and granola and the fruit is cut to enormous pieces. The creamy eggs with gorgonzola are not so creamy, more on the dry side with lack of spices and shy on gorgonzola. Pancakes on the dryer side as well.
The service was a bit slow, although our waiters were very friendly and did their best to make us feel welcomed and comfortable.

Fantastic pizza and service. Aurelio was wonderful with helping with menu and translation.
Highly recommend for dinner. 3 glasses of wine and 2 pizzas was less than 1000$ (in pesos)
Best prices we have come across so far

The food here was very delicious, we have came for both breakfast and lunch. The food was well prepared and our server Uriel did an excellent job serving us. This place didn’t feel unfriendly or like they were rushing us out like other restaurants here on 5th Ave and prices are more reasonable. Definitely recommend this place if your in Playa Del Carmen.

This restaurant is OUTSTANDING! Not only is the food great, the service is incredible! We ate here in December 2023 & couldn't wait to eat here again during a February 2024 visit. Ask for Hugo, he is the best waiter who is personable and gives the absolute BEST service. The food is fresh and original - a must try!!

Nice Italian restaurant in the 5th Avenue. The food was very good and the service was very high especially from Aurellio👍🏻
We started of with caprese and then we had a pizza and the chicken. Great meny with many options to choose from. The wine list and the cocktails were great as well.

Breakfast at this place is my absolute favorite, having visited lots of times. Hugo's unwavering attentiveness and the consistently excellent service make it a standout spot in Playa! I always recommend to my friend in special days. The delightful mascarpone and berry waffles, crostini, chilaquiles, and of course, try salmon bagel each dish is a flavor packed delight. Sharing the mascarpone waffles as an start is a great idea. And don't miss out on the delicius coffee! A guaranteed quality experience awaits you at this breakfast haven.
