    Peaceful place!
    Skye L.

    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

    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.

    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)

    The Napoli pizza
    Cate H.

    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.

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

    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 were in Cancun, MX and stayed at an all inclusive resort called Live Aqua, great resort,…read morerecommended. Came to Hidden Garden for one of our dinner for a special birthday celebration of my friend. The food was great and the ambiance was great. The service from our server was great. It was such a nice special touch for the chef to come out and ask how everything was, and the server brought out a birthday dessert for my friend. 5 stars on all of that. So why 2-stars then? The hostess of this place that evening was rude and out of place. We were all dressed VERY NICE in all black, however, one of the guy in our group's outfit was sleeveless. He was wearing a very nice leather sleeveless vest. Mind you, it wasn't a tank top, it wasn't swim wear, it wasn't athletic wear. It was an expensive leather vest, very fashionable. Nicer than all of the old men wearing shorts and Hawaiian shirts or basic polo shirts. The hostess didn't allow him in until he changed to something that had sleeves. Friend changed and was allowed in. Once inside, he put the vest back on for photos since everyone in our group coordinated to be wearing black fashionably. On our way out of the restaurant, the hostess had the nerve to stop us and say something about it. Lesson here is, do better. We understand that there's dresscode, but know what should be acceptable or not. If it was a tank top, swim wear, or athletic wear, we'd definitely understand. But it was not, it was upscale and fashionable, just without the sleeve. Plus, women are allowed to be sleeveless but not men? What year do you live in? Train your hostess better.

    Our first night at Live Aqua we dined at Hidden Garden, after seeing a lot of great reviews from…read more other guests. We were overall really disappointed. The appetizers were pretty good, but our main dishes were really very bad. I got the pad Thai and it was one of the worst pad Thais I have ever had. The ambiance of the restaurant was great, wish the food matched. We did want to go back and give some other dishes a try, but just ran out of time.
