Eureka

Mérida


A stylish, intimate Italian spot outside the center. The signature dish of chef Fabrizio Di Stazio is the riccioli eureka, freshly made pasta in white ragu sauce with mushrooms and an aromatic hint of truffle. It's east of Paseo Montejo and an easy taxi ride. Try some homemade limoncello (lemon liqueur) after the meal.
