You might agree or disagree with my opinions, but that's life, isn't it? And no, I get no commissions or kickbacks from any of the places favorably reviewed - I do this entirely for my own amusement and your information.
On the menu,
besides wood-oven baked pizza with real salami, prosciutto, mozarrella
and an authentic 'you can see the tomatoes' sauce, there are several varieties
of spaghetti. The mesero suggested I try the Spaghetti Saporiti,
basically a creamy Alfredo with a roquefort kick; it's absolutely outstanding.
The Pizza Vegetariana, with zucchini, tomatoes and other
veggies was quite good too. A small but decent selection of wines complements
the very attentive and friendly service. Really. I know it's hard to believe,
but service is getting better and friendlier every day here in Merida,
and in most cases it's owners from other places that are making the difference.
However, don't
overdo it on the pizzas and spaghetti; leaving without trying the icy-cold
frozen lemon pie would be downright stupid. Made on the premises, this
slice of tart refreshment is worth the visit by itself. Cafe espresso
is alright; however, someone mentioned recently that each refill of regular
black coffee is charged as a fresh cup and that it was very expensive.
If anyone else has had a similar experience, or if this is an ill-founded
rumour put out by some jealous (and they should be) competitor, let me
know.
Located in
the Itzimna part of town, where Il Grotto used to be, across
the street from Heladios (the one that didn't burn down).
Open from 7:00 p.m. to midnight most nights and yes, there is an a/c part
available.
Happy eating!
I was going to put bon appetit, but thought it would be just too corny,
and it sounds more like french to me.
