About
Welcome to Magari, where the essence of Italian cuisine meets the vibrant heart of Cancun. Nestled on Calle Jartete, Av Huayacan, this restaurant has quickly become a cherished spot for both locals and tourists alike. With a commitment to high-quality ingredients and authentic flavors, Magari truly stands out in the bustling culinary scene.
As a food reviewer for Foodjoyy, I've had the pleasure of savoring the remarkable offerings from Magari’s menu. The risottos alone are worth the visit. For instance, the Risotto Di Porccini—infused with porcini mushrooms, parmesan, and a touch of butter—delivers an earthy richness that's both comforting and indulgent. The Risotto Frutti Di Mare, crafted with seasonal seafood and a delicate seafood broth, exemplifies ocean-fresh flavors that spark joy with each bite.
Then there's the pasta, where Magari truly shines. The Bucatini Magari enrobed in a decadent four-cheese sauce with shrimp and truffle pasta redefines comfort food. Not to be overlooked is the Quadrati De Champinones Con Trufa Fresca, a house-made pasta stuffed with mushrooms and adorned with fresh truffle; it’s a culinary masterpiece that encapsulates sophistication and indulgence in every bite.
Salads like the Orvieto and Capri bring a refreshing balance to the meal. With a mix of sweet confit tomatoes, creamy stracciatella, and crunchy caramelized almond garnish, the Orvieto salad is a delightful starter that whets the appetite.
Magic happens at Magari not just through the food, but also in the service. Guests rave about the attentive staff and warm atmosphere, making it a perfect dining choice for both intimate dinners and lively gatherings. Whether it’s the warm bread and garlic served complimentary or the attention to personalized dining experiences, it’s clear that Magari understands the art of hospitality.
While most dishes receive high praise, varied reviews highlight the importance of choosing wisely—some guests found certain items on the pricier side or disappointing, yet the standout dishes consistently draw positive remarks. The mention of fried calamari as a must-try further underscores the restaurant's dedication to delivering memorable dining experiences.
In conclusion, if you find yourself wandering through Cancun, make a beeline for Magari. It’s not just a meal; it’s an experience that captures the essence of Italian culinary artistry, enhanced with a touch of Mexican flair. Bon appétit!
