Nauti Pete Bistro

Centro Hidalgo, Plaza Karlita
American - Moderately Priced

This sister restaurant of the adjacent All Natural Café opens in the evening to offer a menu of grilled meats and fish. The grilled tuna is especially fresh and done to perfection and served with wasabi on the side. During the season, Monday is U.S. football night, which attracts sports fans.

Studebaker Bar & Grill

Hotel Baccará, Blvd. Kukulcán

American - Affordable

The Fonz would be right at home in this 1950s--'60s theme diner centered on the golden era of the Studebaker car. The grill produces some of the best hamburgers around (the "Avanti" burger is not to be missed) and thick, cold shakes.

Café Cito
ph: 9 - 8770438

Avs. Juárez and Matamoros
Quintana Roo

Cafe - Affordable

You can see sand and shell arrangements through the glass tops that cover the tables at this sunny café. Cito is one of the prettiest spots on the island, with a bright blue and white decor, photographs and simple watercolor paintings adorning the walls, and wind chimes dangling from the rafters. Breakfast choices include fresh waffles, fruit-filled crepes, and egg dishes, as well as great cappuccino and espresso. For dinner, the chef whips up daily specials.

Casa Rolandi
ph: 9 - 8832557

Plaza Caracol, Blvd. Kukulcán, Km 8.5
Cancún, Quintana Roo

Italian

The secret to the success of this elegant sister to the Pizza Rolandi chain is its creative handling of the Swiss--northern Italian cuisine. Be sure to try the carpaccio di tonno alla Giorgio (thin slices of fresh tuna with extra-virgin olive oil and lime juice), the homemade lasagna, or the ravioli neri ripieni d'arargosta (black ravioli stuffed with lobster). With such appetizers as puff bread from a wood-burning oven and a huge salad and antipasto bar you may never make it to the main course---which would be a shame. Soft lighting, a beautiful setting, and exceptional service create an atmosphere both cool and serene.

La Dolce Vita
ph: 9 - 8850161

Blvd. Kukulcán, Km 14.5, across from the Marriott hotel
Cancún, Quintana Roo

Italian - Moderately Priced

This grande dame of Cancún eateries consistently produces excellent classic Italian dishes, such as green ribbons of pasta with lobster medallions and boquinete dolce vita (snapper, shrimp, and mushrooms in a puff pastry). Add the candlelit tables, lace tablecloths, soft live music, and pretty furniture, and you have a romantic evening. The atmosphere is enhanced by an incredible view of Laguna Nichupté, especially during full moons.
