We cruised by this place a few times and noticed a good special on the chalkboard sign out front. We were on our way back to the hotel for the night and decided to stop in for a snack. The special was a personal pizza and drink for $100 pesos, drink included beer or soda. We ordered two specials, the pizza was thin and crispy topped with sauce and cheese. The sauce could've used a little seasoning (just tasted like tomato) but other than that it was a good pie. Our server was great as well. We would definitely eat here again. read more

Horrible experience! Avoid! I ordered octopus carpaccio and a waiter ran away with. We had to wait until he reappeared to make an order for my husband:) No bread was served. Italian restaurant. My order came in as salmon carpaccio thinly spread on the plate! My husband's seafood spaghetti came with 4 mussels of which 2 were closed! Horrible! And they overcharged us on 5 items we ordered! Unbelievable! read more

TOURIST TRAP. Mal servicio Went into this restaurant by looking at the photos on yelp. Only to realize that the waiter had no idea on what the restaurant had on the menu. He was confused and not in the right mind, as he was also drunk while working. They DO NOT offer free wine for checking in! Scam! Even after showing the yelp check in. I do not recommend. Go elsewhere. Food 4.5/10 read more

Il Bocconcino - Peaceful place! - Italian Near Me - Tulum, ROO

We came here after a disappointing day at a beach club where the servers were racist AF and were feeling defeated. Finding this place erased all the issues from earlier in the day and restored our faith in Tulum...Hands down best pasta I've had possibly anywhere I've ever traveled in the world! The service impeccable, very small cozy friendly vibe. If your staying in aldea zama and don't wanna travel down to the beach for great food go here. Parking was street parking but fairly easy. Get the truffle ravioli, you won't be disappointed!!! read more

Came here to take a little break from tacos. Was not disappointed. Ordered a salad and a wood fire pizza. Both were really good and hit the spot for my Italian fix. Our server was really nice and helpful. Only wished the had the red peppers to go with the pizza. That would of made my meal. The wine selection was good also. Would def recommend if you're in the area and want something other than tacos. read more

The food was one of the best places we tried in Tulum. Food was tasty, at a reasonable price and service was excellent.

The food is sooooo great. Good portion pasta sizes. The waiter recommended the Bocconcino Pizza, the house specialty, and he was not wrong. Everything was fresh and delicious. Try the strawberry mojito! read more

The service was impeccable! The appetizer we ordered was some sort of prosciutto panini and absolutely delicious, but the main courses fell a bit flat. The octopus dish was the best of the three, the spaghetti arrabiata was well spiced but the sauce itself just tasted like tomatoe paste, and then the chicken parmesan....the menu said it was breaded but what I got was actually a chicken breast in a thick layer of scrambled egg that was soggy. I enjoyed the sides that came with it but definitely wouldn't recommend it. Also, for the quality of the culinary experience overall I felt as though it was rather over priced especially in comparison to other local Italian cuisine. read more

We had a fantastic meal and experience at Il Bocconcino last eve. Maximillian, the owner, was delightful and the food was fantastico! You don't have to go to the beach and fight the traffic to get an excellent meal in Tulum. (And very reasonably priced as well) read more

Our waitress was sweet but I really didn't like the food. To the point where after a few bites I just stopped eating it. We ordered a Napoli pizza and added salami picante as well as the Norcina Tagliatelle, which was mushrooms and sausage in a creamy truffle sauce. I detected no truffle flavour at all. Not even a teensy drizzle of truffle oil. Tasted more like a bland Lipton side dish. And the "homemade" pasta seemed alright at first but then I noticed it started to fall apart. Fresh al dente pasta shouldn't break apart into smaller pieces. The pizza was thin crust and looked decent enough, until I tasted it. Was way too tangy. There were hardly any anchovies and one pathetic little sprig of basil in the middle. Not to mention it seemed to me that the mozzarella was the hard kind. For a place called Il Bocconcino serving a pizza called Napoli... I feel like their cheese game should be better than that. The cheese looks like it could be fresh from the photo but it certainly didn't taste it, nor have that milky texture. Also the salami picante seemed weird to me. It had a very flat appearance like it didn't have any fatty bits. I know fat melts under heat but we've had salami picante a lot and this was definitely not what we expected. To be fair my partner did eat the whole thing because he was hungry. He didn't mind it but he did feel it was mediocre. My immediate reaction was a very strong "ugh I don't like it at all". And I normally love anchovy pizza. So yah not a fan. read more

WOWZA! I am still dreaming and salivating over il Bocconcino's pizza and pasta. Folks, please don't miss this spot, you'd be doing a disservice to yourself and your dining partners. You must, MUST! order the margarita pizza. The crust is thin and crispy, the sauce is flavorful and the mozzarella is fresh and authentic. We also had the homemade pasta which was delicious- wish we could try them all! Service is great, atmosphere is cozy and the menu is extensive. Be back as soon as possible! read more

This place is amazing not sure why it isn't as busy as it should be. Food was amazing service was amazing what more can you ask for. So glad we took a chance to come here for some amazing Italian food in the Mexican village of Tulum read more

Excellent pasta! The gnocchi was fantastic and my boyfriends lobster linguine was perfecto! So yummy, definitely worth a stop. One caveat, no cc :( read more

I had walked by this place last night and was not in the mood for Italian. Well fast forward to a full day of swimming and biking and sun and I was. I came alone early for dinner. It was a delight. I sat outside and sipped a glass of Chianti which was excellent. It was about to rain so they put my inside. Also delightful. I was hungry so I ordered tagliatelle Vodka sauce and the Filet Mignon double veggies. Both very good but next time I would do a salad and another pasta. That was the standout. And- the tiramisu and cafe for dessert was amazing. The cream in the tiramisu was luxurious. I enjoyed having my table for a few hours really. Gave me wifi password. Ambiance is great. I would recommend. Service was nice. They were busy but it's the busiest week of the year. Go early and relax would be my suggestion. read more

I confirm one of the previous reviews where it says that the waitress is really nice and friendly but the food is not good.

We came to Il Bocconcino thanks to Yelp while looking for a place to eat. We loved their pasta and lasagna, both were amazing. You could immediately tell the ingredients were fresh and some probably imported from Italy. Don't skip deserts... we had the tiramisu and it was delicious. Lastly service was super. The inside has a nice vibe. read more

We went here because of a recommendation by a local who was originally from Italy. She said that she normally does not try Italian food outside of her home country but loved the food here. I was not in the mood for Italian but went anyhow and it was amazing!! The fish of the day was cooked to perfection and my husbands gnocchi was delicious as well. Would definitely go again! read more

absolute fave ! Delicious Pizza and the Pasta was incredible! Homemade and super fast, we'll definitely come back :)

Nice Italian food and very delicious. It is on the pricy side but never the less nice location and great food.
