"Even if you tell yourself it’ll never happen to you, a sudden and intense craving for pasta just might hit while you’re in Mexico. When it does, get yourself to Nicoletta. Of the handful of Italian restaurants in Cancun, this one’s the best—go for a margherita pizza, the spicy rigatoni, or short rib served with zucchini spaghetti. Try to snag a spot on the second floor to watch the sunset, and pray you put on enough bug spray." - barbara gutierrez
