La Luna Sul Mare

La luna sul mare is definitely the best, most authentic Italian restaurant I’ve been to in Puebla. It’s truly a hidden gem in the city: the place is charming and the food is excellent.
Went here after an Italian friend recommended it and it certainly reminds me of an Italian trattoria. The owner, Marco, came out to greet us and offer us recommendations of what he thought we’d like, assuring us that if we didn’t like them, he would change the dishes free of charge. Nothing went back to the kitchen: amazing mozzarella cheese, marlin and shrimp tostas, pistachio pizza, herb crusted sea bass, ravioli with porcini mushrooms, meat and spinach caneloni on black truffle sauce… everything we had was really good and original.
Don’t be discouraged by the lack of clientele (on a Tuesday afternoon we were the only customers), the food is great, the service is efficient and you’ll eat as close as you can to Italy in Puebla.
