We were surprised to have such a good pasta: really al dente! It are basic italian dishes alfredo, cacio e pepe,…: then your cooking has to be really good to have a good experience, which was the case! The atuna tartare was not special: too large pieces. Tables inside are not cosy, outside sitting is ok. Wines are expensive but good. We went back during our stay because we were satisfied.
Eating Italian when in Mexico seems wrong, especially when in an island like Cozumel. But, after sadly learning that none of the other restaurants at the Intercontinental served any fresh local fish, we decided to give Alfredo Di Roma a try and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Host Marlene was friendly and welcoming, the crissini were crispy, the focaccia authentic and José Ramon offered spectacular service, including asking the chef for a variation of their signature risotto to include local shrimp. It turned out excellent! Eating here became the surprise culinary highlight of our stay. Make sure to take a good look at the XXL wine list, too and maybe try a Mexican (sparkling) wine. The signature Pasta Alfredo dish was very close to the Roman version created for American visitors.
