A taste of real Italy on the streets of central Tulum. This cafe is cramped (luckily there are some alfresco tables outside) but somehow Mario makes it well worth the wait: get perfectly cooked al dente pasta, ravioli, or fish and seafood specials that will make you think you're in Roma. Wines are excellent, and you can even order a Negroni (rare in Mexico) if you're feeling the Old World vibe.
