This place has excellent service. I opted for the Spaghetti Bolognese, as it matched my mood at the time. It was okay, but it didn’t particularly stand out to me. I’ll need to return and try other dishes before forming a full opinion since some places excel at certain dishes more than others.

We found this nice restaurant on our last day. The pastas were amazing. I ordered Ravioli, and it was the best Ravioli I've ever had in Mexico and the Tiramisu too! I wish we had found this restaurant earlier.

the best Carbonara I had in a while. everything was perfect, highly recommended place!!

If I was living in Tulum, I’d be a regular visitor here. The pasta tasted fresh, it was well seasoned and absolutely delicious. For anyone who always craves good Italian food like me, I would highly recommend Acqua & Farina! The staff were friendly and welcoming. Price was not bad and portion was good!

The moment you will be tired of tacos, shrimp and guacamole - this is the place to go. Big choice of pastas, the texture and taste are perfect, portions are big. Generous glasses of wine and the cutest service. I think the limoncello is homemade and it was absolutely delicious. Great place, very warming experience 🫶🏻

Small Italian restaurant, well-crafted good pasta, friendly atmosphere. The noodles were perfect, which is not a given here. Everything very clean and very nice friendly service.

10/10. Found this place on google maps. Very authentic Italian food, the menu had a loooot of good options so it was very hard to pick. We went traditional 😊 and just as expected food was incredible, and great service as well. They give you free DELICIOUS bruschetta as soon as you sit down!!!! LIKE WHAT??? something so easy but that also makes you feel special. If the place is small, with good taste in decor, and good music selection you already have my heart. I’d recommend here to anyone and would definitely come back to try everything else on their menu.

My husband and do we're so excited to try an Italian spot that got good reviews, sadly this place did not impress. I had to jump on Yelp, which I never do. The spot is off the main strip which we liked, it's small which we liked also, but the food was sub par. We ordered the burrata which was ok. Probably better than our entrees. The glass of wine was poured as a half glass. My husband had fettuccine with porchini, looked good but needed salt, pasta was under cooked and the dish was greasy. I had the risotto and when it was placed in front of me, I knew I was not going to be happy. The risotto was NOT in a cheese sauce it looked like tomato sauce, to be honest I took one bite and could not do more. It was the worst risotto I have ever had. The owner came over once we paid and asked if we liked the risotto because the plate was full, and when we told him it was hard, he just said ok. Not a sorry or discount. Our bill was $140!!! For bad food. I recommend going else.

An authentic Italian restaurant in Tulum? Why not! Tulum is home of many Italians and I had the chance to discover this tiny restaurant full of Italian flavours! The place is limited, but you'll get homemade pastas with delicious sauces. I would recommend it for sure if you feel like having a break on Mexican food!

I hate to be the person to bring the rating down but I was very unimpressed with this place. My partner and I got two of the recommended pasta dishes. He had the carbonara and it was pretty good, I had the Gricia and the pasta was undercooked. Not Al dente. Just very undercooked. I couldn't bring myself to send it back so I just bit my tongue and crunched on it. The sauce was decent but I could make better at home, which is usually is my gauge for a restaurants Yelp rating. I wouldn't recommend Acqua e Farina.

I'm in Tulum for a month and this is the Best Italian place in Tulum!!! Omg I would literally just come here the whole time I'm here. Everything we had and the service was amazing. The owner Mario is very hard working and you could tell he loves what he does. Our server (Eugenio Homa) was also really nice. I have nothing bad to say about this place if I could rate it 1000 stars I would. As a matter of fact best food I have had so far. Loveddddddd this place!!!!!

This gem is absolutely fantastic. Its right on the corner of Satellite. You quickly forget you are in Mexico as the flavors of the food transport you back to Italy. The food is just as good as Italy if not better. Ironically enough all the local Italians hang out so it truly feels like a tiny little bistro in Rome. We dined here twice and the prices are very reasonable. Small seating limited to about 25 seats so come early.

Hiden Gems!!!!!!!! Really Italian foods,!the owner is from Rome. My family is from Italy and this food is amazing. Please support this place. Ciao Mario.
