Just discovered this Italian Mediterranean restaurant the other day and had several appetizers and some wine. The food was fantastic. One of the best restaurants in Queretaro.

I was going to give up on having a truly lovely meal in Queretaro, when I happened upon this place by accident. Not only was the food outstanding, the service was amazingly friendly. Decent prices for a tourist experience as well. I’m from ...

One of the best experiences in terms of quality of food and service! Comfortable and exquisite restaurant! Chef Caro's attention is impeccable, always attentive and dedicated to explaining each dish! That beef carpaccio! Magnificent! The pizza and pasta are definitely one of the best I've ever had! And the delicious tiramisu! (The photo was missing! Well, we devoured them) Delicious cocktails and 10/10 service, always attentive to your needs! 100% recommended place! Nice to spend with friends and family!

An Italian corner that conquers all the senses. Refectory of Santo Domingo is a hidden gem in the heart of the city. Its terrace is simply charming: surrounded by vegetation, decorated with quarry and with a fountain that provides a relaxing sound, ideal for a romantic date or a quiet meal. The service was impeccable from start to finish, and the quality of the food deserves special mention. We tried a pizza with prosciutto, arugula and balsamic reduction that was spectacular: thin dough, fresh ingredients and very well balanced. The tiramisu was also a total success: soft, with just the right touch of coffee and cocoa. The cocktails are varied and well executed, and the wine list perfectly complements the experience. In addition, the place is pet friendly, which is very appreciated. Located in an accessible area with good natural lighting, this restaurant combines the best of Italian cuisine with a warm and elegant atmosphere. Without a doubt, a place that I will return to and that I highly recommend.

Impeccable service, very good food. My husband had spaghetti bolognese & papas bravas while I had a simple soup and salad. As suggested by the friendly hostess, we shared a tiramisu that was the largest portion I’ve ever seen. Drinks were cucumber mint and maracuya. Coffees to finish. Don’t miss out on this great place.

Came here twice on our visit to the area from Canada. As much as we love trying the flavours of the country, it was so nice to have familiar comfort foods and so delicious as well.
