San Cristóbal de las Casas
Set inside a pastel-colored colonial building and with some tables outside under the trees, this Italian-run local delivers in Tuscan style, right down to the checked tablecloths. Fresh pasta is the specialty. Try the ravioli, handmade fresh every day. And you can expect fillings of sea bass with eggplant, cheeses with walnut and arugula, or rabbit with rosemary and olive.
The sauces are divine – don't miss the mango, chipotle and gorgonzola if it's around.
