" Dining at Shimia is always a treat! The food is consistently excellent, with fresh ingredients and authentic preparations. The pasta dishes are the highlight; it's evident they are made with love and care. The owners are attentive and create a welcoming atmosphere that makes you want to linger over each course. I’d recommend this place to anyone looking for quality Italian dining in Zihuatanejo. Just make sure you arrive early or have a reservation, as they fill up fast! " (*Curated Review*)

" I can't believe we waited so long to dine at Shimia! After hearing numerous rave reviews, we decided to give it a try while vacationing in Zihuatanejo. The lasagna was to die for—layers of homemade pasta combined with just the right amount of cheese and herbs. It truly felt like a home-cooked meal, reminiscent of Italian grandmothers back home. The service was equally impressive; the staff was attentive yet unobtrusive. I highly recommend making a reservation as this spot is quite popular! " (*Curated Review*)

" I came to Shimia based on positive reviews and was slightly disappointed. While the pasta was cooked well, the sauce was underwhelming and lacked depth. The service was friendly, but we didn't get a check-in during the meal, which would have been appreciated. The atmosphere had a bit of noise from the street. I believe the restaurant has great potential, but I just happened to catch it on an off night. " (*Curated Review*)

" From the moment we stepped into Shimia, we felt welcomed by the friendly atmosphere. The pasta was outstanding—fresh and executed beautifully. The meatballs were another highlight; we couldn't resist ordering more! The owners, a lovely couple from Italy, made sure to check in on us throughout our meal, adding a personal touch that made the experience even better. Highly recommended for anyone looking for authentic Italian flavors in a cozy setting. " (*Curated Review*)

" Our visit to Shimia was an unforgettable culinary experience! The pasta was delightful, and the flavors were just what we'd hoped for. Our server was attentive, providing excellent customer service and friendly conversation. It was a bit challenging to find seating as the place was packed, so do make reservations in advance. Nonetheless, it's an experience I would gladly repeat. " (*Curated Review*)

" I tried Shimia last weekend, and it was just okay. The food was decent, but for a place known for Italian cuisine, it didn't quite hit the mark. The ravioli was under-seasoned, and the service was a tad slow. However, the ambiance was nice, and I really appreciated the personal touch from the owners, who are attentive. I would consider trying again, hoping for a better experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" I highly recommend Shimia for anyone craving authentic Italian food. The owners, both from Italy, have a genuine gift for cooking. The atmosphere was relaxed and welcoming, and I enjoyed the personal interaction with the owners. While I would have appreciated larger portions, the food compensates for it with rich flavors and fresh ingredients. The lasagna is the best I've had outside of Italy! " (*Curated Review*)
