The Kitchen by Nowhere Bar — Restaurant in City Centre

This lovely little joint caught our eye on the way back from a sunset cruise at the marina. Initially you notice the nightclub, called the nowhere bar, but tucked right next door is a true Italian spoon called, The Kitchen by Nowhere. Upon seating, we were greeted by restaurant owner, Mario, who displayed a jovial Italian pride that was infectious and made us immediately feel right at home. He recommended a white wine that was nothing short of perfection, and he kindly attended to our needs throughout the evening. The enthusiasm and passion he took in his service was something we desired apart from the gimmick and hustle of the marina.

The marina views and full moon made for a romantic evening, but the food was the star of the night. We started with a Caesar salad and calamari. The Caesar was delicious, but the calamari deferred from my Italian roots with the tartar aioli. I would rather have marinara, which Mario whipped up upon request. For our main entrees, we enjoyed the sea bass and fettuccine Alfredo with shrimp, and I am honestly at a loss if this was the best homemade pasta and Alfredo I have ever had in my life, which is honestly saying something. The meal was completed by a shot of limoncello and the homemade panna cotta. So delicious.

We ate at several local joints but this was one of my favorites when visiting Mexico. This place may be overcast by many other lager eateries, but I definitely recommend if looking for some simply delectable and authentic Italian in...

So it might be a hard judgment call here because I dine there on the new year eve night without reservations as not expecting they would give me a table for one person. They were accommodating which I believe it was both owner of the restaurant. So I was not too fuzzy on where they place my seating. Watching the staff trying hard to serve each table around me and watch the screen that appears to show case the kitchen that is cooking and preparing meals out to everyone was also good to see apart from that was the only view that I have. I felt that the price is a little expensive but I could justify the effort they put in. The only take back is when I did not know how to tip the water they were a little offended that I did not tip enough is what I felt in the end. I understand but that was not too comfortable in the end. Would I visit there again yes I would for the food and the hospitality...

I had high hopes for this place. The calamari was OK, yes it was overcooked! The presentation for the calamari was good. But here's where it went wrong, we ordered LASAGNA. And to say it was a disappointment is putting it mild. It was cooked ground beef, lasagna noodles and a tomato sauce reminiscent of canned tomato soup 😒. It had no flavor! No garlic, no Italian seasonings. It was so extremely bland and aside from the cheese they put on the top there is no cheese inside! No ricotta or mozzarella. NONE! The meat tasted like cooked ground beef. No other flavors or seasonings, no salt, no garlic, no pepper, it was just so bland and such a disappointment. I cannot recommend this place.

On top of it the people that work there were more interested in harassing everybody that walked by. Good grief! If people want to eat there, they will. So annoying of a...
