First you must make a reservation before you leave home. We took a cancellation but they were booked three weeks out.
This is a very small place with both indoor and outdoor seating. Everything was wonderful. You can't go wrong with anything you order.

This was the best dining experience we have had in 6 years of visiting Mexico. From the friendly greeting from one of the owners, to impeccable service, to outstanding food we had a delightful experience. My wife could have had the tuna foccaccia starter for a meal, and the mushroom starter was enough for lunch the next day. The mole on my lamb was the BEST I've ever had and the meat was properly cooked and tender. My wife's tuna was excellent and the portions generous enough for the next day meal. A good wine list completed the meal. Top of the line, but hard to get a table if you do not reserve ahead of time. Good for a romantic celebration.

No wonder this restaurant is listed as the best in Playa Del Carmen!
Do, do book in advance. We booked 2 weeks in advance. It is very much worth it.

The restaurant is intimate and small with an outdoor and indoor seating area.

Our waiter, Luigi (from Turin, Italy) was phenomenal. The service entirely was a great experience, personal and caring.

The food was delightful. Every single thing was 5* level and could rival any restaurant in NYC or anywhere else.

Highly recommend.
