Savio's in Cancun, Mexico

Savio's in Cancun, QR is quite a contrast indeed to the traditionally delicious Mexican food fare you normally would run into when in Mexico. This is a fine Italian restaurant located on the main thoroughfare Kukulcan Boulevard within the Plaza Caracol. It is a wonderfully elegant diversion when you need a break from the tequila and chiles of Mexican food.

First class all the way, Savio's commands a high price but it delivers food rewards and service befitting those prices. They even offer valet parking for your convenience. You do not dress down here so leave the flip-flops and straw hats in the hotel. Put on your fancier duds to fit in here as the décor is casually elegant and refined with a hint of romance in the air.

The Italian food is fresh and flavorful with a delicate smart hand used for incorporating fresh herbs and spices. Start your dining experience with a glass of wine and the antipasti and then segue into a large salad. Take your time so that you can also fit in the main entrée like spinach and ricotta stuffed ravioli, traditional pastas or even the chicken parmesan. Be sure to sample the tasty perfectly cooked vegetables as well.

Choose the tiramisu or something equally tasty for dessert and top off your wine glass or choose an after-dinner drink like cappuccino or Frangelico. You can come for lunch or dinner and get the same outstanding food and service. Savio's in Cancun is a truly remarkable dining experience, a little slice of Italy in this warm Mexican land.
