When in Rome... or Acapulco! Italian food is loved around the world, and if you’re looking for a respite from Mexican spice for one night, Becco al Mare is the place to go. Like all things quintessentially Italian, this restaurant oozes high design from the first impression of the entrance – with an experimental-art-installation feel – to the last sip of wine from their impressive 4,000-bottle cellar.

Enter from a curious, multistory wood and glass box, housing only a round desk in its centre, and discover the hidden spiral staircase down to the plush lounge. Sink into the sofas overflowing with comfy pillows by the bar to enjoy one of Acapulco’s countless bay views in casual elegance, or travel further down to the indoor/outdoor dining room for a true sit-down meal (and another photo-worthy panorama). Either way, be sure to catch a glimpse of the steel and glass wine cellar, and sample at least one of its 600+ labels.

The fascinating architecture and sleek design alone warrant a visit to Becco al Mare, so stop by even for a drink and some antipasti if you’re feeling too guilty about cheating on Mexican cuisine to devote an entire dinner to it. The food is as flavourful as it is beautiful, and the atmosphere is not to be missed.
