Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Staff were really nice but the overall experience was pretty disappointing. There is no bar to sit at and no wifi, as a solo traveller I couldn’t wait to get out of there. Food was nice, wine selection was ok but nothing special. Nice spot...to dine if you’re after a romantic meal but otherwise I wouldn’t bother.More

Excellent food and service. I am allergic to seafood which makes it very difficult for me to find fish that I can eat since everything is usually cooked on the same grill at most restaurants on this iscland. Il Pellicano cook everything in different pans...so there is no contact whatsoever with the other dishes on the menu. The waitress was so nice and offered an excelleng service. Definitly recommend!!More

Met a man that was standing on the main street holding a menu and directing people to the restaurant. We decided to give it a try and I'm glad we did. The restaurant was beautiful and the live music was very good! I don't typically...like to dine with live music because sometime it can be obnoxious and too loud to carry on a conversation. This was not the case. Music was very mellow and allowed you to sit and enjoy or speak and still hear each other. The food was good. We ordered a couple of pizzas, 3 pasta dishes and one burrito meal. The pizzas and pastas were very good. The burrito was ok.More

Terrific ambience and food! Pleasant outdoor seating with live music (peaceful). Appetizers and salad were excellent as was the pizza. Best wine selection of any restaurant on Caye Caulker that we visited (and the wine is served at an appropriate temperature). Dessert was beautifully presented...and tasty! All in all a nice place that pays attention to all the sensory aspects of a meal. While there are many great restaurants on the island, this one stood apart for feeling separate and different from the beachy casualness of most of them.More

Visited twice during our stay on Caye Caulker. The food, atmosphere and staff were amazing! Pizza was delicious, pasta was delicious, everything we had was perfect. The place looked great, the music was great. The second time there was some live music. A local artist,...who was not too predominant and had a beautiful voice. Next time we will definitely come back.More
