We came here based on reviews from Trip Adviser. It was spot on. This is such a wonderful restaurant. We had a bevy of appetizers and they were all wonderful. The potato dumpling was so so good and the stuffed mozzerela was incredible. Prices are great and the owners are wonderful. We will be back before we leave Playa.

If you want to go where locals go, try Al Volo, a casual, laid back restaurant on a quiet side street, run by Paolo from Sicily, who has worked at top restaurants around the world, and now settled in Playa with his own little place. Skip the tourist crowds on 5th and head to his friendly place for authentic pastas... More

We ate at this lovely, cozy restaurant last week. We live in Playa and will definitely be going back here lots. We heard about it from friends who also love it! Friendly staff, cozy design and cheap, good food! Their mozarella medallion in tomato sauce is out of this world delicious and their bruchetta amazing too. Limonada also fabulous. It... More

We were very happy to see this place is still here. It is next to the original Aguachilies on 34th. Our first visit was when it first opened and it still has that quaint personal charm. The chef (Paolo) is personally engaged with each guest to be sure of your satisfaction. We will return to Playa in December and will... More

Alvolo is definelty a place where you want to stop and do just that. This is a place that provides a great atmosphere with incredible real italian food . The owners have created... More

What can we say?!?!?! Decided to go after looking at the reviews here. Open for only 5 months, off the beaten path of well traveled 5th Ave, on the still up and coming side of Calle 32nd, it is like being in Nonna's house! If you don't know who that is, it's Grandma! Walked in and introduced ourselves (we knew... More

Had dinner at Al Volo together with friends last night, and I think I just found myself a new favourite restaurant in Playa del Carmen!
