Merida is known for it's excellent Mayan and Mexican cuisine. However Villa Italian is a hidden gem for those that crave the best of Italian food. We joined two long-term expat residents of Merida who embody the best of gourmets. This restaurant is now the only place they frequent. Now we know why. The food was really extraordinary. Superb antipastos.... More

We regularly go to this restaurant and find it an excellent value. The specials are always good. The spaghetti carbonara is my favorite. They have undergone a recent expansion and I do not find the waiters as attentive as they ere earlier.

This restaurant was recommended to us by two expats living in Merida. It is about a 50 peso cab ride from the center. The pasta was very well done. The cap reuse salad was good but lacked flavorful tomatoes. The antipasti plate was typical and had some good cheeses. This is a nice break from Mexican food.

Another place i have visited often over the years, but in the last year or so i find myself less inspired. it seems that portions have diminished substantially and prices have gone up around 30% in the last year.

Never ever had anything close to a bad meal there. I really don't think that would ever happen there. I would order anything on the menu with confidence.

I will keep it brief but that doesn't mean anything negative. Very, very good! Being from New Jersey (in an area that has a huge Italian population) I like to think I know good Italian food (I do!). So I was supernervous to go to Villa Italia. Went with family and friend...food and service were both great. Whether it was... More
