Cenacolo Puerto Cancún

When your Yucatan Peninsula vacation requires authentic Italian cuisine, only one restaurant will suffice: Cenacolo Puerto Cancún.

Before we get too involved with this post, you need to know that there is a second location on Blvd. Kukulkan near La Isla. In fact, it’s within walking distance of the Interactive Aquarium Cancún. While both menus are identical, we will focus on the marina location.

At the heart and soul of the menu is a time-honored Italian cooking tradition known as Divina Cucina Romagnola or “Divine Romagnol Cuisine.” The centuries-old practices originated in Novafeltria and were passed down from generation to generation. You’ll taste this Italian heritage in every bite at Cenacolo Puerto Cancún.

Since 1986, Cenacolo has been serving high-quality Italian dishes. From fresh, handmade pasta to premium seafood and expertly crafted pizzas, their menu caters to various tastes.  

Combine its artisan fare with the waterfront location, and you will experience a relaxing yet exemplary meal. The open-air spaces allow diners to soak in breathtaking views of the marina, making it an ideal choice for a romantic dinner or a night out with friends.

Adding to these are their carefully curated wines. The exhaustive list showcases Mexican, Italian, and international wines perfect for pairing with your meal. 

Adding Cenacolo Puerto Cancún to your itinerary is like visiting Italy without boarding a plane!

Vibe 

The restaurant offers fine dining with the relaxed charm of a waterfront location. Its stylish exterior and architectural elements reflect a contemporary yet warm aesthetic. 

The outdoor dining areas offer unobstructed views of the marina, which is ideal for relaxing after hiking to and from the Punta Cancun Lighthouse.

The interior’s decor blends sophistication and comfort with soft lighting, natural wood tones, and sleek Italian-inspired designs. 

The spacious layout ensures privacy while maintaining a lively vibe. The attention to detail is evident throughout, from the elegantly set tables to the carefully chosen artwork.

What is most noticeable about the vibe is how balanced it is. The setting is suited for romantic dinners, celebratory occasions, or casual gatherings with family or friends. 

The inviting ambiance and the serene waterfront make it an unforgettable destination on a Cancun getaway. 

Cenacolo Puerto Cancún: Menu & Drinks 

The best way to explain Divina Cucina Romagnola is by exploring its menu.

Begin your culinary journey with a starter like the Beef Carpaccio with Truffle. Finely sliced beef comes in a truffle sauce with arugula, sliced Portobello caps, and Grana Padano cheese flakes.  

Pasta lovers will jump at the chance to try the tableside dishes. A standout is the cheese wheel spaghetti. Your chef will combine the pasta, tomato sauce, and fresh basil into the Grana Padano cheese wheel. Not only is the presentation inspiring, but the freshness of the handmade pasta with the cheese and sauce will knock your socks off!

Aside from the bountiful pasta, the meat and seafood choices will appeal to various tastes. Pepe Verde features a prime steak flamed in Madagascar green pepper cream. It comes with asparagus and potatoes in truffle oil, making it a great choice after playing 18 holes at Golf Puerto Cancun.

Seafood lovers will marvel at the picks, like the Cartoccio Fish. This mouth-watering entree showcases the catch-of-the-day wrapped in foil with a bit of white wine. The fish comes with potato, leek, olives, capers, and cherry tomatoes.   

Pair these dishes with Cenacolo’s curated drink menu to complement your meal. In addition to the impressive wine list, guests may choose craft cocktails, spirits, tea, juices, coffee, and soft drinks. Such variety ensures something for everyone. 

Whether celebrating a special occasion, a romantic evening, or a family dinner, Cenacolo Puerto Cancún promises to be a dining experience you won’t forget.
