Quintana Roo, Mexico Food Guide: 10 Italian food Must-Eat Restaurants & Street Food Stalls in Tulum

April 30, 2020 Marianna Hollaway

Reviews on Italian food in Tulum, Quintana Roo, Mexico. Mayan ruins tower over the sea in Tulum. The formerly walled city was one of the last to be built by the Mayans, and its archaeological sites are incredibly well preserved. Take a break from the beach to visit El Castillo, the Temple of the Frescoes, and the Temple of the Descending God. Explore an underground river under a canopy of stalactites in the sacred caverns of LabnaHa Eco Park, or dive into Cenote Dos Ojos to snorkel inside of caves in the middle of a forest.

Salciccium Tulum

Salciccium it's a casual food restaurant that uses artesanal products only. It's a fusion between the european culture and the traditional mexican food.

We were drained from the heat after visiting the ruins and the beach and doing some shopping so stopped in here for some refreshments. The owner was super nice and chatted to us about where were from and wasn't too pushy about us ordering food. They have an authentic wood burning pizza oven so I think the pizzas are probably great but weren't hungry at the time unfortunately. Has three rounds of drinks and they were very affordable, very nice spot for lunch and they have WiFi

My boyfriend and I arrived cold and hungry after a long day and long drive, and this is the closest restaurant. The staff received us with warmth and all servers were very friendly. We ordered a pizza (Popeye) which comes without tomato sauce and as traditionalists we paid the fifteen pesos more as an “extra.” On pizza. ‍♀️But once it arrived it was not too bad, although nothing spectacular. However, the fish ravioli dish almost could have let us laugh or cry but definitely break down somehow when we saw it arrive. It was like, “good joke, now bring us our meal.” The bread we had in the bread basket was more copious, filling, and flavourful. I was sincerely disappointed by both the quality as well as the quantity- it was approximately 9pm now and the pasta arrived plated cold, barely filled and scarcely garnished. We both looked at each other and lamented “FAIL” but live and learn. Normally we love seafood but in this case the taste was like the smell of fish to people who don’t like fish, imagine, like the smell of the sea, although barely any meat to speak of. We left after eating what we had intended as our meal, to buy raw pasta at the supermarket across the road and cook it at home. Again, many thanks to all the Argentine servers who were sociable and friendly.

Had a great day today at Mivida. Great friendly service, delicious pasta, comfortable seat, lovely view what more could you want. Only knocked a star off because it said you can pay on card but it was apparently not working which I didn't know until the bill was presented to me. We sorted it eventually but took the shine off a perfect day. Would still definitely go back will just double check about the card thing first as not many working cash points in Tulum it seems! Get down there instead of Azulik :)

Pizzeria Manglar

Reviewed By YukonBrett

Had an excellent dinner here with my partner. Primavera pizza was great and the crust was perfect. Nice fresh ingredients, on the pizza and the pesto pasta. Unfortunately there was barely any chicken in the “Chicken Pesto” pasta. Other than that, we had a great experience. The staff were very friendly and even let us use some bug spray before dinner. Great atmosphere outside and I would say this is the best pizza in town if Horno Gourmet is closing.

Place is certainly everything but italian as advertised, food tastes like...nothing, its tasteless. Flies are freely flying to land ob your food giving it a hint of taste its missing. Certainly not returning. Hmmm, 9 types of wood-oven pizza made by our chef from Milan, Italy. Lasagna, Shrimp Fettuccine, Eggplant Parmigiana, Mediterranean-style prepared Octopus, Gnocchi in Arrabbiata Sauce and Tiramisu for dessert. Not to mention other great options. I guess we're missing something. ;-(

We stumbled upon this place during our stay in Tulum while on the way to another favorite breakfast spot. The breakfast board on front caught our attention and as we are always ready to try a new spot we walked into this well appointed restaurant. We were greeted warmly and presented with the breakfast and lunch (panini) menus. Our decision to order breakfast was reinforced when the promotion was 2 for 1! We ordered Eggs Benedict and Huevos Mexicano with a latte and espresso machiatto - total $210p - about $11usd.Both were presented on a large black plate and the plating of both orders was exceptional! The eggs benedict had a small salad inside a very thin piece of bread toasted wrapped around the greens - a fried mixture of fish like a crouton and a delicious mustard dollops to add to the proscuitto that was in lieu of Canadian bacon. The mexican eggs came with smoked salsa which the chef presented in a small jar which he opened and the smoke escaped as he poured the sauce over the eggs.And the coffee was also top notch!Our waitress was nice enough to also introduce us to the dinner menu and after reading the starters and main courses we intend to return one evening for just apps and another evening to try the entrees.They also serve beer, wine and liquor.Thanks a lot!!!! It is nice to hear u had liked our place!!!! Wonderful review !!!We really appreciate it!!!

El Pez Nativo

Reviewed By Foodtwosome

Everyone in the restaurant except for us spoke Italian. The menu is small, but typical of what you might get in a seafood joint in Tuscany. Simple, straight forward pastas and simply prepared fresh fish. He ordered the small lobster grilled (they were out of the sous vide lobster) and it was perfecto. I had the seasonal vegetable fettuccine — a little disappointed in the vegetables (maybe frozen broccoli) but the pasta and sauce was done just right. I added a little of the garlic olive oil that came with the bread and it fixed the under seasoning. Seriously good lace to enjoy fish & feel like you’re an ocean away. BTW, margaritas were first-class and freshly made.
