-CASH ONLY- really?! Who uses cash only these days?
The setting is lovely, cozy and very well thought, you get seated and the first thing you see in the menu is “CASH ONLY”; ok, no wine today I guess, do I have enough for dessert? Where’s the closest ATM?!!
Food was good and dished where well executed, yet they over did it with the salt in two of my dishes. I liked their proposal and the concept. I would have loved to do a food and wine pairing, this dishes deserve it, yet not feeling like going out and run to the nearest ATM. I do have to say, the best thing about my visit was the waiter, so enthusiastic and professional.

I was a bit disappointed by this restaurant. Some friends really like it and come back regularly so I had high expectations. It is cash only so watch out, because they didn’t say anything, it was just written in the menu. The service was good and quick. It’s a small place so it can feel quite cozy, but it also makes it super loud and we could barely hear our waiter. The food was good but nothing amazing. It is quite pricey for the quality of food, I was expecting more. I wouldn’t go back but it wasn’t bad.

This place pays homage to Italian cuisine in the middle of Mexico - portions are big, ingredients are fresh and the plating is simple yet beautiful. Service is attentive but a bit overwhelming (they don't wait until you finish your plate to ask if you're finished with your plate).

That said, cash only seems a very bad business decision given that the avg ticket price for 2 pax with 1 appetizer, 2 mains, 2 desserts and 3 alcoholic drinks is ~37 USD (740 MXN) without tip.

A lot of promise. Prices seem reasonable until the dishes arrive and you realize they are sampler size portions. My small portion of pasta with truffle butter was low on truffles. A friend dined with me who had been here before and remarked how, after ordering dinner there, her teen u0026 slender daughter had to order a second entree for her to feel she had a proper dinner. She did not tell me this prior to seating.

Excellent restaurant. My husband is from Italy and is very picky about eating pasta outside of our kitchen. He said this would be considered great even in Italy. The staff was very friendly and Toni was awesome. Food was incredible and the ambiance was perfect. Superb attention to detail - from the decor to the Sampietrini style pavement on the sidewalk out front.

This place is really special, is run by Toni (obviously) who is an amazing host. They make traditional italian cuisine. Toni will explain to you the specials of the day that change according to the season, the place is really small and cozy and the service is great. A gem in a small town

Chef anthony provides probably the best epicurean focused dining experience in ensenada. This isn't a tourist place, people come here to eat. And with good reason! He stays true to his path of authentic italian cooking and puts the bar very high.
