I had seen a little pamphlet about it, so when I came across the restaurant I decided to go in. Humble, tranquil, full of books; nothing too fancy. At the first step in I got the warmest welcome by a waitress, who offered me the seat of my choice, a book and a lovely welcome card! From then everything was... More

We read about this restaurant on Trip Advisor and it was very near our hotel. What luck! We ate here 3 or 4 times during the week and the food and service never disappointed. As a matter of fact we arrived on Friday, March 29 after a grueling 10 hour tour without a reservation. The restaurant was packed. We had... More

We called the place 5 minutes before to see if they had space available and headed with the taxi. We were well received and encountered an empty restaurant when entering at 08:00 pm. The restaurant filled up later that evening. The setting looks cozy and atmosphere and decoration were nice. The linguini with fruity the mare my wife liked very... More

Great little Italian restaurant! I had the Eggplant Parmesan and my friend had the Salmon... Both were quite good. The organic green salad was also lovely with a delightful dressing. Nice presentation. Serving sizes were adequate, not huge, which I like. I even had room for dessert-Do not miss the tiramisu!

Good Italian food, quiet, nice setting, good service. There is quality in the ingredients, a good chef, interesting menus. You can have pizza and salad or a complete meal. Very near the Zocalo so it is convenient. I go there often and it has never failed me.

Very good pizza (the best I had in Mexico in 3 months). The attendant was extremely kind, the ambience is good (not fancy at all, but comfortable), the pizza crust is crispy and tasty (wood oven made pizza) and the price is fair. The Pannacotta is really worth a try. Exquisite Cappuccino made by a true barista.

This restaurant is perfect in many ways: the food was great, the owner and the two or three people who attended our table were nice, efficient... One of them speaks english. We love the decor, the ambiance. And this is very clean. "Chapeau!"

I am in Oaxaca for a month studying Spanish. When I yearn for Italian food, Epicuro is the place to go. It is owned by Italians, has a nice atmosphere, and good service. The fish, the salads, the pasta are all molto been! Mostly locals frequent the restaurant; it is a few blocks from the zocalo, away from Alcala. Worth... More

The ravioli was superb as was the salad. Dessert was a beautifully presented chocolate cake. We got attentive service from the moment we walked in. One of Oaxaca's best for sure.
