Il Pescatore, One of the Best Restaurants in Playa!
It was our first time, but Ed Vidgen, who lives in Playa (our hero because he lives here) goes often to Il Pescatore Ristorante. It was fabulous! Although we eat at many places on 5th Ave., we love getting off the 5th for quainter, more charming restaurants and this is not at the top of my list.
In Memory of Molsen, 2001 – 2012
Molsen was my constant companion. He thought I was the greatest person in the world. He walked with me everywhere, every day and, of course, gave unconditional love. He made a difference in my life.

Best new restaurant in Playa del Carmen: Al Volo
Last night we went to Al Volo, an Italian place on Calle 34 next to Aguachiles (a great fish taco’s restaurant). The owner and cook is Gianpaolo Ferrera, one of the chefs from Asi Beach Club. It was wonderful!!! It’s a small and casual space, so don’t expect a big restaurant or lots of frills. It’s not that kind of place, but it’s the kind of place we will go back to every time we are in Playa!
Casa Mediterranea: Most Romantic Restaurant in Playa del Carmen
The most romantic restaurant in Playa del Carmen would have to be Casa Mediterranea. Tucked away on a quiet little courtyard off Quinta Avenida, this impressive, small, restaurant is the most romatic restaurant in Playa del Carmen and offers, excellent home-made Italian food. Maurizio and Maria, the owners, are there to greet their guests and are true Italian chefs.
A day of great weather, great friends, and great restaurants in Playa del Carmen
Although we live in Chicago, Playa is home to us. We arrived Thursday at noon and by 1:30, while it was snowing in the midwest, we were eating grilled grouper sandwiches at Coco Maya, had friends over for drinks on the balcony, then ate outdoors at one of the best Italian restaurants in Playa, Al Bar Dello Sport.
Playa del Carmen I love you!
Terry Carmine, a die-hard Packers fan, loves the beach in Playa del Carmen. For those as old as I am, you might remember the words to a song, I Love Paris. For those younger or for those who don’t remember, it’s a song about loving Paris every season of the year, every moment. That’s how I feel about Playa.
Playa del Carmen, Wish I was there!
I’m currently in Chicago where it is chilly and damp, and we’re watching the Packers vs Giants. There’s not much else to do on a day like today in Chicago, and Terry, my husband, is a die-hard Packers fan. Fortunately the Packers are ahead and we’ll hope they continue their winning streak. Although Terry’s happy, I’d rather be watching the game on 5th ave in Playa! Actually, I’m only here in Chicago physically; my mind and my heart are in Playa right now. I’m already thinking about the beach, the sun, the water, the food, our friends and being back in Paradise.
