Reliably good pizza and pasta, handmade in full view of patrons, have made this fine Italian restaurant a favorite. Appetizers include a salmon carpaccio that practically melts in your mouth and a light calamari. One of this Italian restaurant's best features is its extensive wine cellar. Although it's located inside a mall, the restaurant's main dining room is elegant, with stained-glass panels on the ceiling, and live piano music.

Good, but felt neglected
Posted by beckysmith from Georgia on 8/13/07
The restaurant was nice, but the wait staff seemed very rushed and our service was very slow. Food was good and so was wine list.

Cenacola is the REAL italian deal
Posted by Doug from OHIO on 11/9/06
After 10 dinners here I can say that for great Italian you will not be disappointed. The Caprese Salad is great and the pasta is made daily on site. The service has always been a "10". And the music is mellow adding to the already fine dining atmosphere.

The Best Italian Restaurant in Cancun
Posted by Keith from New Jersey on 5/28/06
You must make this one of your stops during your stay in Cancun. Located in the upscale Kuklukan Plaza, this is an elegant restaurant for those who recognize and appreciate authentic creative Italian cuisine. Definitely not for those looking for your run of the mill pizza & pasta joint. Portions are generous and the prices are fair. The decor is hip and trendy. Service is friendly and professional. P.S. Don't skip dessert!
