“ Beautiful resturant, right on the beach. One of the waiters speak great English. Food was amazing. Noodles are made fresh in house. ”
“ This place is bomb ! The food was tasty and service was top notch. We were there on a not so busy night, and the staff were very attentive. Good atmosphere and they had sports on the TV behind the bar (which is massive). If you are looking for an upscale Italian restaurant in Progresso this is the place to go. Views of the ocean are great. ”
“ Alright, listen up, 'cause I gotta tell ya 'bout Elio Al Mar, down in Progreso, Yucatan, capisce? First off, the atmosphere? Fuggedaboutit! It's like you walked right into an old school Italian trattoria, but with the sun shinin' on ya from the beautiful Yucatan sky. The place is tucked away, nice and semi-private, ya know, like you're meetin' the famiglia away from prying eyes. Now, the surroundings - they're somethin' else. You got this view of the ocean, it's like the most delightful view in all of Progreso. It's like lookin' at a postcard, but better, 'cause you can smell the salt in the air, feel the breeze. Makes ya wanna stay there, enjoyin' a good meal and a fine glass of vino. The food? Oh, it's made from scratch, I tell ya. The pasta, it's fresh, like the kind Nonna used to make back in the old country. You order the seafood, and it's like the fish just jumped outta the water and onto ya plate. And the taste? Fuggedaboutit! It's like every bite's a kiss from the chef, if ya catch my drift. And let's talk about the staff - the broads, they're beautiful, like the kind you see in those old Italian films, all charm and grace. But lemme tell ya, the male waiters? They're sharp, dressed to the nines, and they got that old-world charm. They make ya feel like you're the don of the day. If ya want the service to be fast as a bullet, just slip 'em a nice tip right up front, let 'em know you're here for a good show, capisce? They'll take care of ya like you're family. So, if ya wanna have a meal that feels like a sit-down with the capos, head over to Elio Al Mar. Just remember, when you're there, enjoying that view, the food, the company, and the service, fuggedaboutit - you won't wanna leave. ”
“ Ten blocks from the Malecon and definitely worth the walk! Very pretty restaurant with great food. Service was top-notch. Views of the gulf and the pier at night were gorgeous Risotto primavera and seafood lazana were both excellent. Veggies were crunchy and the lazana was packed with an excellent variety of seafood. ”
“ The place is hidden, but I'm glad we found it, the restaurant is very good with the friendly staff and the food was incredible. The dishes were definitely delicious. we had the steak, pasta, and some calamari with a nice bottle of wine. The dessert was outstanding. ”
“ Our friends had us meet here. The views were absolutely to die for. The restaurant is literally on the water. We didn't realize it was an Italian seafood restaurant. I didn't get the steak because our friends told us not to get steak at a seafood restaurant. So we literally just had spaghetti with butter and parmesan. The breeze though, and the view was so worth the experience. You have to eat in Progresso on the beach to experience the ambience. Friday night, completely safe. We walked the boardwalk and lots of policia. ”
