Where to begin. It is rare than I travel into Mexico to eat Italian food let alone any ethnic food besides Mexican. I must say that the most comparable phenomenal service I have ever experienced in my life was at Trump National Doral Miami Florida. Never expected to walk in to a quote on Italian place in Mexico and receive such a warm and welcoming experience. From the moment I got off my vehicle at. I was greeted at the door by the hostess and was welcomed by every individual and that establishment till I made it to my seat. I cannot express how Superior and amazing the service was at this establishment. The ambience was amazing the decor was fabulous extremely clean and beautiful. My date was blown away as well.
So this amazing experience started at our table with a focaccia bread and some sort of other loaf. The focaccia was slightly dense but it's to be expected with the water quality in this region. Despite the density it was fabulous the flavor was Will present with hints of Rosemary and an amazing taste of fermentation. It followed with a complimentary veggie or potato soup that was well-balanced and very light. We ordered these delicious sangria's that were very well prepared and took much appreciation to the fine cut of the fruit in it. My date ordered the ribeye which is cooked to perfection into seem to be the manager came and assured the right temperature before departing from our table. Frankly I was looking for some ossobuco I had no luck however I went for the a shank/ roast and risotto. I was amazed of how well it was cooked as proteins like this tend to come out dry overcooked and salty at times because of the preparation and bringing them back up to temp they normally seem to dehydrate and overcook. However that was not the case here it tasted as if it was cooked to order which is clearly not the case as you cannot raise and cook this and such a short amount of time. The flavor was perfect on a very savory side yet not salty the meat was falling apart. I felt bad not having to use the knife that they bring out and let you choose from a selection of. The plates are very well served and the portions are very generous but besides most importantly the flavor texture and execution are flawless.
We follow dinner by ordering the doppio espresso which came out extremely creamy unlike anything I've seen in Mexico before and in the top five I've had in Southern California. I believe my date ordered the cheesecake which was capped off and some sort of chocolate garnish and what appear to be pistachio flakes. The flavor was great but it's honest as this review is I must say that it was slightly dry however the flavor was spot on.
I would highly recommend this place if you can appreciate a great meal. The service was to die for and I'll comparable to anything I've had in Mexico or at least in the northern part of Mexico. I will be returning shortly as they have gained a customer for life. If I were to ask yes for any suggestions and changes I would suggest lowering the music slightly to enjoy the conversation and company one is with. I would recommend them ad a better still water selection. I would also suggest a slight more attention to detail when running plates to table and assure the pardons have the necessary utensils. The complimentary soup was delicious only I wish I had the adequate utensils to have tried it while they were still hot. Other than that I give this place six stars. As a previous restaurant owner in Italian cuisine I applaud this place and highly suggest you stop by and...
Read moreFood is average, not worth the drive to find it, but not bad enough to skip if in the area. Would we return, not likely, I will drive many miles more for better food and experience. Beyond the food, the service is third world. The server lacked the attention to details, or any attention for that matter. He didn't bring the appetizers first. He brought all the food at one time and was shocked that we sent it back and demanded it to be brought as we asked for it. Additionally, he did not check on us regularly, and we were without beverages for long periods of time. The ambiance is cool and looks fairly classy or stylish, but the constant pounding of what we believe to be weights being thrown to the floor from the gym that is above and behind the restaurant is beyond disturbing. We thought they were crashing a wrecking ball against the building. It's not a recommended place to dine, but it is also not not recommended, if that...
Read moreBuenos días. Tratare de hacer observaciones lo mas objetivas posibles, pero no sin antes comentarles que en mi casa, mi familia se la pasa viendo videos de cocina y platillos, así que mis observaciones serán basadas en mi experiencia personal usando algunas observaciones de chef destacados como el Chef internacional Ramsey. Mi experiencia es basada en la cena en este restaurante la noche del 24 de noviembre del 2024. De inicio el Valet parking muy atento, un 10 en servicio (Calificación del 1-10) La Guest o recepcionista, muchacha muy amable, de bonita presentación con sonrisa agradable ¡se lleva un 10! Los meceros, muy amables y serviciales, 10. Sangría preparada buen sabor y tamaño, 10. De entrada, te colocan sobre la mesa algunas rebanadas de pan, que probablemente preparen ahí mismo, algo frio al servirlo, pero con buen sabor 8. Plato principal que ordene: FETUCCINI DAL MARE (Este lugar se anuncian como la casa de la Pasta y el Vino) así que este platillo debería ser una buena opción. Presentación: 10 Sabor: 9 Pasta: 4 (reprobada) Pulpo: 3 (reprobado) Mejillones: 9 Camarones: 8 En general el platillo no cumplió con mis expectativas. La pasta en el plato, solo por encima al dente, pero el resto de la pasta apelmazada como una masa, de mal aspecto y no muy agradable presentación. Pareciera como si estuviera comiendo un pudin de pasta. El pulpo, completamente chicloso, nada aceptable. En general el platillo muy por debajo de lo que esperaba, reprobado. De postre: Tiramisú El tiramisú es un postre con sabor de café preparado en capas. El sabor disto mucho de lo esperado, por lo que lo califico con un 5. He probado mejores tiramisúes en otros lugares. En general, el restaurante es un bonito lugar para compartir con amigos, con personal muy amable, pero si, insto al Chef a mejorar los anteriores aspectos que no son aceptables en platos de alta cocina. ¿El precio? Aceptable y comparable con muchos lugares de cocina italiana locales. ¿Regresaría? Me gustaría probar otros...
