after many nights of strolling past this restaurant and the guy out front assuring us that it was the "best food in all of playa del carmen" with a "world class chef" with decided to give it a try one night...mistake! we both ordered the tilapia fish special with grilled veggies...the place raved about it's fish and seafood and we...

Resturant is in a good location, great people watching. We were promptly seated up near the front of patio. The hostess who seated us, also took our order, but promptly went back to trying to entice others to eat there. We had no less than 5 people serve us during our meal, which in most cases would be great, in... More

My wife and I had dinner here twice. The menu is very Italian oriented with mainly Pasta and Pizza dishes. I had the the Pasta vith Cozze and Vongole once which was excellent and on the other occasion a Pasta with seafood which also was excellent. The house wine was a chilean Cabernet Sauvignong whih also was fine to a... More

Went there for a late lunch, looking forward for good pasta, what a disappointment. For starters, I had the fried calamaris and zucchini and my guest had the bruschettas Mediterranean . The bruschettas were below average and the calamaris were obviously of the frozen kind you can buy and cook yourself. Not a very good start! As a main dish,... More

Recommended to us by a couple we met during our stay. It is very casual, which was perfect for this particular day, in which we were coming back from a long day in the sun and not dressed for a more upscale location. They make a great, refreshing Limoncello margarita. Pizza was tasty. Seafood pasta was good, but a bit... More

Ambasciata D'Italia was one of three restaurants we visited in Playa. It was a bit chilly, so we sat inside rather than the courtyard. The atmosphere was great - felt like a neighborhood spot. The service was good. The food yummy - I had the pesto pasta (simple but flavorful) and the others had pizzas and said they were great... More

Four of us dined and were all underwhelmed with the food and the service. It's got a decent ambiance in a courtyard of a hotel. It took us a while to even get acknowledged by a waiter once we were seated. There was a special board listing the days specials out front but no mention of them from the waiter.... More

Great family restaurant. They were willing to divide dishes as well as give us a half order for our youngest. Loved the atmosphere in the courtyard as well you could sit outside on 5th if you like it a little busier. We will return for sure.

We chose this restaurant to have a break from Mexican cuisine which was our diet the previous 5 days. It is on 5th Ave east from the cruise ship ferry port. My husband had the gnocchi with Cheese sauce and I had the gnocchi with Sorrento sauce. Both were very good and I have to say the best meal we... More
