The Glass Bar is my favourite restaurant in Playa del Carmen, and is one of the best in the whole Mayan Riviera/Cancún/Yucatán Peninsula area. Napolitan run and owned (both Nicola and his partner came from Napoli), offers top italian food. The wine list is impressive as they also own a wine import business. I loved the La Massa, a sangiovese-merlot from Tuscany, to marriage an excellent lamb ossobuco. The rissottos are also outstanding.
The place is nicely decorated (lot of Italian furniture) and is always lively with above-average tourists (not the loud drunk guys in t-shirts) and locals. It has an ample terrace. It is on 10th Street, between 1st and 5th Avenues. Reservations: 984 803 1676.
