This is a family business passion project that is all heart. The owner, Massimo, is delightful, charming, and attentive. His adorable father was in the kitchen today while Massimo himself greeted and served guests. The venue is intimate, airy and understated. Great location. The menu is elegant and features fresh, light Italian cuisine with an emphasis on local seafood and a wine list with local wines. Massimo personally attended all of his lunch guests and gifted his delicious homemade liqueurs as a post meal aperitif. I chose the orange liqueur and it was astonishing. This restaurant is a breath of fresh air. I will return often and recommend Il Massimo with no hesitation.
True authentic Italian food. This is not New York Italian or Olive Garden Italian. Or Los Angeles vogue Italian. This is Italian food like mama made it in Italy and still makes it today home cooking at its finest using the freshest ingredients made with love makes you feel like you are back home in Italy in the kitchen having the greatest conversation and eating the best food. To truly find food this good it’s either here or back home in Italy � well done bravo........ I will be back over and over again to see what you put on the plate
Really outstanding new Italian restaurant in Ensenada! The owner/chef, Massimo, is welcoming and serves excellent food - I enjoyed everything I ordered. Don't miss this place - I'm guessing soon it will be hard to find a table!
