Cafe Italiano - Mérida

Small family run Italian eatery in the heart of Merida. Husband is the Chef and the wife runs the front of the house.Limited wine selection but it a small cozy place and the food was excellent. Some different dishes with curry in Italian food etc. Quite good ,I had it. Good prices and worth a visit .

Conveniently located behind Peon Contreras, it is a great little Italian restaurant where you can chat with symphony musicians after Friday night and Sunday afternoon concerts. Terrific cuisine, including unusual items like Penne Genovese...shrimp in curry sauce! The panna cotta is the best! Runner up is a restaurant in Chicago, but Il Café is so much closer!! Chef Marco is a master. Staff is terrific and accommodating.

I've never been to Italy so no real idea if this was authentic, but the owners (one of whom was the chef) are Italian so... We had a delicious dinner in a relaxed and very comfortable setting! I highly recommend this for good service in a setting quiet enough to chat with my dinner date at normal volume.

Buena ubicación en el callejón del congreso en una calle peatonal con la tranquilidad suficiente para disfrutar comida italiana.Muy amables todos.

Family owned and operated this restaurant has been serving home style, italian cuisine for many years. We go once a week to enjoy a meal prior to the Symphony in the beautiful Peon Contreras. Even though it is no longer listed on the menu we start with sharing the Ceasar salad which has a dressing with anchovies and parm, olive oil and lemon just as it should be. We enjoy the pasta dishes which are served with an abundance of well made sauces. Always a delight and the serving staff always remember us which makes the evening even more enjoyable.
