I got the chicken escalope with the ginger pistachio creme brulee for dessert. Both were amazing. The espresso martini was delicious as well. Highly recommend this place for a nice dinner!

I had the peppercorn filet mignon with mashed potatoes, along with a margarita and an Americano — and honestly, everything was absolutely amazing. The food was cooked perfectly, full of flavour, and the presentation matched the taste.
The restaurant itself feels a little “fancy,” but in the best way. The vibe is calm, relaxing, and welcoming — the kind of place where you can unwind and really enjoy your meal. It’s a great spot to eat with friends or family, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a memorable dining experience.

Another wonderful evening at Especias! The bolognese and lasagna are exquisitely good. Im not sure how but upstairs people are on romantic dates ans others are with a fun group in the same space. It is just a great place to be.

This is the most amazing place in cozumel for Italian food. This is a real Italian restaurant. You could not find better in Italy. Staff is amazing and owner goes above and beyond. They cook my lionfish to perfection.
Owner took care of it personally showing that he cares about his clients. Thank you.

Out of 9 dinners we had in Cozumel, we ate here 3 times. We’d hoped to try more Mexican restaurants but the food here was too delicious. I would say the authentic Italian food here could compete with anywhere. The young lady that served us was great as well, personable and attentive, a great dining experience!

What a wonderful, authentic Italian restaurant! The chef and owner Francesco was our waiter and we enjoyed the balcony. Our pasta was fantastic but the true gem was the ribeye. We will certainly be back.

Great meal from start to finish. Amazing Italian restaurant in Cozumel. Started with some aperol spritz, best I’ve had outside of Italy. Perfect ratio of all ingredients. The bruschetta was excellent, very flavorful tomatoes. We brought mahi mahi and barracuda we caught on a fishing trip and they prepared it for us. Started with barracuda steaks which they served fried per our request. Chef did two different styles, both Italian and Mexican style. The mahi mahi we had as both a pasta and sauteed with a garlic sauce. It was served with vegetables on the side as well which were delicious. All of it was outstanding, a true authentic Italian restaurant in Mexico. We came 45 minutes before closing (sorry) and we couldn’t have had better service or food. Also the best wine list I’ve seen on the island, a nice mix of European, American and local wine. Took a tiramisu home and it was exceptional, done in the true Italian style. Can’t say enough good things about our visit, a must eat if you enjoy Italian. Can’t wait to go back. Thank you to our server and the chef.
