“ Who would have thought Italian food in Mexico would end up being the best we have ever ate?!? We are on count down to return to Playa Del Carmen in March so we can eat here again. Fabulous food! ”
“ We had a lovely dinner at this Italian restaurant and were truly impressed by both the food and the service. The atmosphere was cozy and welcoming, with a relaxed vibe that made us feel right at home. We only had one main dish, the pasta carbonara, but it was absolutely delicious. The pasta was cooked perfectly al dente, with a creamy and flavorful sauce and just the right amount of seasoning. You could really taste the quality and authenticity. Before the meal, we were served fresh bread with olive oil, sea salt, and a touch of balsamic vinegar. A simple but elegant start that really set the tone for the rest of the evening. Angel, our waiter, was fantastic. He speaks excellent English and was kind, attentive, and genuinely friendly. He made sure we had everything we needed and made us feel very welcome. His great service made the experience even better. We had a great time and will definitely come back to try more dishes. Highly recommended. ”
“ A truly gem in 10av. The atmosphere is so calm and the waiters always take care of you. All that we tried was so delicious. We definitely will be back to try different dishes and of course the dessert because we was full and we did no tried. I would like to thanks my waitress for all the attention. If you're a truly fan of Italian cuisine, this is your place. ”
“ Food and service were amazing at La Famiglia! We enjoyed two pizzas, some calamari and a few drinks between 4 people. Both pizzas were incredible - great crust and fresh ingredients. The calamari was great too - a very good breading and they weren't chewy. Although the upstairs was relatively new when we went, it provided a nice view of the street and was air conditioned, so it was very comfortable. The only downside was that at one point the music came on and was very loud. Thankfully the majority of tables asked for it to be lowered, and the restaurant listened which improved the ambience. Great restaurant if you're looking to switch up the cuisine options while in Playa del Carmen! I would come back again! ”
“ We came around 6:30 pm right before dinner time. Keep in mind this is a true European restaurant- where they take their time with their food. So if you are looking for a quick dinner, this is not the place. Food was amazingly good, the wait for food is a bit long, like I said it’s a true European restaurant. I’m not a fan only Chardonnay but I have to say the ones they recommended was right on I think point for me. Staffs were friendly and tentative, again I went in October, at low season. I knew there were bad reviews but i was willingly to take my chances, and it was not a disappointment. I will come back for pizza Update - if you like thin crush, thin pizza this is it. We had a whole pizza togo. Then i came back for 2 more slices before I left Playa Del Carmen ”
