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.

We dined here twice had four dishes and found the food quite good service excellent. Don't listen to these one star complainers here this is a mid-price Italian restaurant of good quality. I recommend the arugula salad the rigatoni and the fresh fish. The only quibble found was the tomato sauce on the rigatoni was a little salty.

Pretty average Italian food at very premium prices. Not bad exactly, just lacking in the magic that usually comes with simple Italian fare. There are several excellent italian places a short drive away in Cozumel town that are literally half the price and serve better food. Service was good but felt very by the book, not particularly personal.

Doesn’t Matter

Well, I was torn to go or not to go as there’re either very good or very poor reviews. So I took the risk (and probably shouldn’t have). We’re guests at the Intercontinental for 10 days and tried all their restaurants, the Italian wants to be the upper class one but they aren’t. The whole service felt artificial, not authentic. The reason might be that we’re in Mexico and not Italy or at least Europe. The same probably happens for 80% of Mexican restaurants in Europe. But we’ve been there for the food but unfortunately this didn’t convince either. Quality of food (and we’ve chosen rather simple Italian dishes) is average, definitely not worth the price tag. We’re Swiss and have some awesome Italian restaurants in our country and we’re close to Italy and also know the originals very well - what we’ve seen here is not close at all to a good Italian restaurant. Maybe it’s enough for US tourists but it will disappoint Europeans who value a good Italian restaurant. Anyway, we tried (assumed) and know now 🙃 Service Dine in Meal type Dinner

For the love of God do not go here, everything is microwave food where they taste level that is less than banquet brand frozen meals. The salt level is so strong it hurts to eat. It is very very obvious there’s no cooking going on in the kitchen. The waiters are super nice but they know it’s bad because they don’t look you in the eye when they set the plates down nor when they take them back to throw them away uneaten. They don’t even ask you if it was good because they already know. We ordered the lasagna, salmon, eggplant and had maybe 1-2 bites of each. Forgot to add - the Mexican and Mediterranean places at the hotel are fortunately both pretty solid but this place is no good.

This was the best restaurant I ate at while in Cozumel. It's located inside a hotel and a little far from the downtown but the food is totally worth the trip. I recommend the calamari, eggplant parmesan and the salmon. The service was excellent, it was a very romantic place to spend an evening. Amazing Italian food!

Two stars for the excelente service by warm and professional waiters. Very friendly and nice. Except of that everything is poor. Old depressing decorarion. The food was bad, specially for a restaurant that was recommended by the concierge as "our best restaurant". Caprece with frozen not fresh tomatoes and pesto that tasted like a supermarket paste. The eggplant parmesano was awful with aftertaste. The ravioli was OK, but was served with too much sauce. And the Lasagna was one of the worst I had ever have in my life: it couldn't hold it shape even on the short way from the kitchen to the table, and was over cooked. When we ask for the check, they were nice to bring us OTH cake for desert, unfortunately it wasnt very good as well.

Best restaurant at the El presidente. Borge the Fettuccine Alfredo and the lasagna are phenomenal, Great wine list and atmosphere. Servers are awesome. Service Dine in Meal type Dinner Price per person $1–100

Besides the service that was excellent, all the rest was poor. The salad was served with used tomatoes (from the fridge, which means there were mot fresh or tasty), and the caprese salad was nothing to enjoy from. The eggplant was sweet and like in a losy diner. The pastas, ravioli and lasagna were not tasty, sticky, like a frozen pasta. Very bad quality. And the price? Like a top stsr restaurant. I recommend to avoid this tourist trap. .

Oof. Where to start on how awful this place was. Everything tasted off. Even the “whipped cream” on the tiramisu wasn’t whipped cream but a dried candy to look that way. Plenty of great Italian in town. Skip this place at all costs. Service Dine in Meal type Dinner Price per person $1–100
