On our first visit we were skeptacal but we were told good things. As soon as you walk in the door you can smell the wood fire for the pizza's and it makes you hungry. As we walked to our table we saw a piece of lasagna on the counter and I knew that was exactly what I wanted. When you first sit down they bring out bread with olive oil, balsamic vinegar and a spicy olive oil. All of them are great. We then ordered the Salumi e Formaggi, there were 6 of us and 2 of them fed us just fine. Then on to the main event, everyone at the table ordered the Lasagna al Forno di legna. It tasted fantastic and the cold burrata on top of it really made it top notch. For dessert I ended up getting the Cannoli di Oreo which was the perfect size after the big meal.
For our second visit we wanted to try the pizza. I go the Calzone Napoletano, it was a lot bigger than I expected and I wish I had asked for some extra sauce when I ordered because by the time they brought the extra sauce I was finished with my meal. One of the people I was with ordered the Maestosi Pasta alla Ruota di Parmigiano which was pasta finished at your table on a fire-fired Grana Padano DOP wheel. It was a cool show.
I never would have thought we'd have such fantastic Italian in Monterrey but I'm happy we found it!

Place of contrasts! A kitchen with quality products and well-made dishes. But a service that is efficient but without any interest or friendliness, they do the right thing. I think they sin because their geographical location almost guarantees them having diners. Another bad detail is that they give you a paper napkin…. I think that with the prices and location it is worth a lot. Wine list with very little interest in it. The typical list to see if an unwary person orders the Sassicaia.

I honestly don’t know how this restaurant has 4 stars. It kinda like a wanna be classy restaurant to me to begin with I got a piece elf metal in my bread the table was wobbly the waitress was the worst service I ever had not once did she check on us our food got out after a big family that got there after us and the manager had the nerve to say it was because it’s too busy like that made any sense. It was just a very bad experience I feel so bad for my husband. We got there when it wasn’t too busy then it got busy but I still can’t rap my head around how my 2 plates come out after a family of 6 people. When I was there a good 20 min before them literally an hour for my food and the manager says it’s also because the pasta takes 15 min and the steak 25 min and I’m like what about the rest of the time???????IM MIND BLOWN, such a waste of a beautiful place to get the worst service I’ve ever had.

This restaurant has excellent service, nice ambiance, and an extensive menu. The wine and drinks list also provided many options.
Unfortunately, the food I ordered did not meet the standards I would expect for a place like this. I ordered a risotto dish. The taste was fine, but the rice was overcooked, not warm enough, and a bit greasy. The portion was very small; I left a bit hungry.

I ordered a carpaccio and it was very good, after that I had a pizza margherita that was very good as well. The service was always prompt, educated and available.
The only ‘negative’ was the price, but I do recommend it

A party of three. I ask for the tagliatelle from the menu. The dish comes and it is spaghetti. No one tells me anything. I call the waiter and he tells me -we do not have tagliatelle- condescending , I say -ok, I’ll have it. When tasting the meat, it was not eatable. Maybe it was close to rotten, or cooked for many days... I asked one of my colleagues to try, and he confirmed.
I call the waiter again, two waiters are close by, and I explain the meet is not eatable, and say this is unacceptable.
They say : Ok
Take the dish and go inside. My colleagues finish their meal and no one comes by to say anything or to ask if I want to have something else.
I call the waiter and tell him that I’ve kept a piece of the meat and will take it to the sanitary institutions. The waiter just says: Ok.
By the way the conversation was always in Spanish, a language I speak fluently.

Got the Pasta with Salmon which was very good. Cooked right and the portion while small in comparison to USA portions was just right for me. All the others commented about the portion sizes being just right and the food being good. Would certainly recommend and visit again.

One of the best Italian dining experiences ever - order the speciality & sit back and enjoy the show / experience.
Cheese wheel pasta - done at the table side - tasted great.
Fiery cheesecake - done at the table side - great, especially if you have a sweet tooth.
Bandera Tequila - has to be tried at least once when in Mexico.
Definitely recommend

The restaurant was a nice place to go for dinner. Ambiance was good, place was spacious.
Appetizers were good, i enjoyed the Arancini and the cheese platter was popular on the table.
The pizza was ok, but the desserts were very good. The group really enjoyed the Calzone and the Nutella Crepe. One of our favourite thing we enjoyed as a group was the Carahigno drink (espresso with liquor 43)
