The best Carbonara ever in ma life. Also the service was great and it's in the middle of centro. I highly recommend this place. ...

Excellent authentic Italian food (the trattoria is run by an Italian and it seems to be the epicenter of Italians in Tulum as many of them just dropped by for a quick chat over the course of our dinner), great selection of wines. We had bruschette as appetizers and two different plates of frutti di mare pasta accompanied by a Sauvignon Blanc and a glass of Primitivo. They offer homemade pasta with every dish, Italian desserts and Illy coffee.

You need to eat here. Let Lalo and the boys serve you up amazing fresh homemade pasta with a plethora of sauces and choices for every taste. They also do 2 for 1 happy hour almost all the time and make fantastic pina coladas. It was of the best pasta I've ever had and I've been to Italy more than once.

Fresh homemade Italian pasta, the food here is amazing! I keep coming back to try everything on the menu. Even though the service isn't the greatest, and the servers turn over rate is frequent. At this point I know more about the restaurant than some of the new servers. Don't let the small details deter you from trying some of the best pasta in Tulum !!

I’ve been dying to try this place for a while and it was finally open when we walked past! It’s just as good as everyone else says. The pastas were amazing, the wine was great (I got the Montepulciano and it was nice and chilled), and the staff are so sweet. If you’re needing a break from tacos, this is your spot!

We broke a golden rule by trying a place that has pictures on the menu, and were we happy we did. What a pleasant surprise. This was genuinely one of our favourite meals in Tulum. Excellent pasta. We ordered the fresh pasta with the Norma and Arrabiata.. both delicious, served with the fresh Tagliatelle and the Tagliationi... Absolutely perfect. Highly recommended. Reading the other reviews, I disagree about it being expensive.. yes the pasta portions are Primi portions so not huge, but for 160-180 pesos - who's complaining... Coffee was excellent too.
