| Far away from the glitz of El Poblado, lies an Italian restaurant combining both simplicity and sophistication.
Any doubts as to its authenticity are quickly dispelled by the Italian owner who passionately insists on his guests soaking up olive oil and balsamic vinegar with warm bread.
Crispino's house salad with roasted aubergine, zucchini, and red peppers is also a good starter, although the reasonably stodgy pizzas are slightly non-conformist to their Italian origins.
It seems the only way to ruin the mood of your Italian host is to inquire as to whether he is indeed Italian as one notes this happen with surprising frequency. Incidentally, he is from Napoli. |
