" I had an okay experience at Shimia. While I can't deny that the food was tasty and the owners were cordial, there were a few things that could have been improved. The lasagna was good, but I expected a little more flavor. The portion sizes were moderate; I didn’t leave feeling particularly full. The atmosphere was nice, but the small tables felt cramped when the restaurant was busy. Overall, it was decent but not quite as impressive as I'd hoped. " (*Curated Review*)

" Shimia is a little treasure in Zihuatanejo! It's a small, welcoming place with a menu featuring lovingly prepared Italian dishes. My partner and I shared the lasagna and the seafood special, both of which were cooked to perfection. The owners greeted us with genuine warmth, making us feel right at home. I appreciate that they put emphasis on using fresh, quality ingredients, and that dedication shows in the meals. If you're in the area, don't miss this culinary gem. Just the right vibe to enjoy a relaxed dinner. " (*Curated Review*)

" After dining at Shimia, I must say that this little restaurant outshines many others in the area. The homemade pasta was cooked just right, al dente and rich with flavor. I tried the special of the day, which was a delightful surprise! Service was friendly, and the ambient setting made for a cozy dinner. I am only giving a 4-star rating due to slightly smaller portion sizes than I had hoped for, but other than that, it was a lovely experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" The first thing that struck me about Shimia was its intimate atmosphere. It felt like stepping into someone's home, which I love. The service was excellent, as the owners engaged with us throughout the evening. Now onto the food—every bite was bursting with authentic Italian flavors. I had the linguine with clams, and it rivaled what I had in Italy! There's also a charming selection of wines. I left feeling satisfied and eager for my next visit! " (*Curated Review*)

" An authentic Italian dining experience! The quality of the dishes is evident from the first bite. I had the seafood pasta, which was fresh and satisfying. The environment is warm and inviting, perfect for a cozy dinner. It is worth mentioning that the portion sizes might be small for some, but the flavors make up for it. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Shimia to any Italian food lover! " (*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*)
