Tuna carpaccio. Oh and that green fuzzy drink was bomb!
Alexis Y.

A week prior to my Tulum trip I knew I had to check out this restaurant specifically due to an Instagram photo I came across which beautifully showcased their tuna carpaccio. We literally checked out this spot the night we arrived in Tulum. It's centrally located (beach strip not city center) and has great ambiance. We were seated immediately, no reservation. I knew the place was known for their pizzas but I left LA for Mexico..Def not in the mood for pizza lol. So for starters obviously the tuna carpaccio. Displayed beautifully. Dressed in oil with jalapeño and lime on top. I dive in... It's ok. :-/ well better than ok, it's decent. But did it knock my socks off?..not one bit. In fact every tuna tartar I've ever had was probably better than this. Oh welp, had to try it and happy I did. For dinner my fiancé and I both had lobster, I paired mine with a salad. Salad was great! The lobster was decent, a little tough, but most seafood in Mexico is slightly overcooked in my opinion (except for Mateos restaurant)..and I've been to different parts of Mexico. However I can't complain and never do. The prices on lobster out here can't be beat. For dessert we had the crepes with nuttella, chocolate, and I think caramel. It was divine! I'd come back to this restaurant next time I'm in Tulum. Might even try the pizza lol

Caprese salad, tuna starter, gnocchi.
Prachee M.

Went with expectations for decent Italian food. The best part of dinner was the Mayan cocktail with hibiscus and mezcal. Refreshing! The caprese was underwhelming with flavorless tomatoes. The tuna with pink peppercorns and arugula on the side was okay - the arugula was tasty, drizzled generously with olive oil. The tuna wasn't buttery soft, it felt like it had absorbed water, the way thawed fish sometimes tastes. The biggest let down was the gnocchi. It came in a bowl of what looked like tomato soup slathered with cheese, and that's what it was. With gnocchi in it. Disappointed.

Margarita pizza and Diavola pizza
Liliana J.

Went during their happy hour and drinks were great. The pizza was also delicious. We had one margarita and one diavola... definitely go for the diavola. Has a great kick!

beef carpaccio

One thing is for sure - Tulum has some great Italian restaurants - seems that lots of Italians migrate to Tulum, so your choices will be many! Make sure you choose wisely. First night in Tulum and we were just getting settled for the week. We thought we'd try a "standard" for us since we loved this place before. It's conveniently located on the Tulum Beach Road at the entrance to Coco Tulum - a small hotel with some nice, simple cabanas. We were very disappointed that the service this trip was not NEAR what it had been on our visits last year. The wait staff does not speak English - not even enough to get an order down. Yes, I know we are in Mexico, and with my broken spanish, I was STILL not able to communicate with them. We had to point at the items on the menu. Our carpaccio was fabulous - as always. And the fresh baked breads are wonderful. Our dinner was 2 appetizers - bruschetta of roasted tomatoes and basil and a beef carpaccio, 2 pizzas for our mains and 2 beers and 2 margaritas (not willing to try the wine after seeing how it was stored). A TON of food (we were staving) and ONLY $65. That's a pretty good deal. Go for the carpaccio and the pizza!

Mexican Lullaby cocktail, complimentary bread & olive oils

Really enjoyed our lunch here! We had the Hawaiian pizza, meat lovers pizza, and the Mexican Lullaby cocktails. Great food and service.

Both my dinner and my drinks were excellent here! Conveniently located right next door to our cabanas. I really enjoyed the service here! Brick oven pizza! The drinks were too die for!!! Yum!!

Tostada Juanitas
Angela G.

We stopped in here for breakfast. The Bloody Mary was amazing. The macchiato was good. They have free wifi. Unfortunately the food was just OKAY. We ordered the Tostada Juanitas and the Diablo Eggs. The Tostadas was kind of bland. It was like a dry French toast and was covered with chunks of avocado pesto tomato and prosciutto. A lot of salt saved it, but I wouldn't order it again. The Eggs Diablo was also just okay. It's covered in a heavy cream sauce. Maybe dinner is better? Skip this place for breakfast.

That night we ate at Juanita Diavola, The fish ceviche was lemony and excellent, the octopus was delicious but tiny, and the mushroom pizza was delicious but overpriced. Thin crust just a bit too crispy. The best part of the meal was my bloody Mary... Although weak it had incredible flavors. Bill had a beer. $60 total. A lovely meal, but a bit too expensive for what it was.

Cool interior of the restaurant
Noelle L.

So as odd as it is, on TripAdvisor Juanita Diavola was highly recommended. I know, an Italian brick oven pizza restaurant in Tulum?!? Yes. This was the BEST pizza we have ever had. This place was outstanding. The scenery is beyond gorgeous. It's right on the strip of hotels on the beach. We got a calzone and a regular pizza. They don't skimp on toppings which is a plus and the crust is a chewy perfection in itself. HIGHLY RECOMMEND. We were sad we ate her our last night because it was so delicious!

Restaurant from the side

Great pizza! We got two pizzas, one Margarita and the other was half shrimp and half Hawaiian. Thin crust pizza with the right amount of cheese. One pizza could definitely feed two people. But it was great to take the rest to go and have it later in the hotel room ;). They take credit card too. Not the best pizza I have ever had but it was pretty good. This restaurant is not on the beach, it's on the main road so don't expect great views. If you are looking for a break from the fancy stuff and want some good pizza, this is your place.

If you love pizza and you're in Tulum, this is the spot. Full stop…read more Boccanera is wild in the best way. A laid back wood fired pizza spot with a super cool, relaxed ambience and the friendliest energy. We ordered the pepperoni pizza and honestly I've never had anything like it. It's insanely good. Pair it with their habanero sauce and jalapeños and it is literally fire. Perfectly cooked, bold flavor, unforgettable. We also ordered the Caprese with apples, almonds, and beets and wow. Such a fresh and different take on a salad. Every ingredient tasted so clean and vibrant. My tummy was genuinely happy after this meal, which says a lot. It's not far from where we're staying near Azulik, which made it even better. The vibe is effortless, chill, and welcoming. Bonus points for the two local cats, who are absolutely adorable and add so much charm to the place. The staff is super friendly and welcoming, and the menu has so many choices that there is truly something for everyone. If pizza is your love language and you're anywhere near Tulum, Boccanera is a must visit.

Arrived here around 800p on a Friday night and apparently everyone had the same idea. It is a very…read moresmall restaurant with limited tables for larger parties (they had two small cafe style pushed together for a 7 top when we were there). We put our name on a list, but no phone number was given so really it's a wait for a table or come back type of situation. We ended up leaving and coming back 40 mins later and were sat quickly outside. The pizzas are OUTSTANDING! I think the reviews all say that and it's the truth. The crust is Neapolitan style thinner crust but the flavor is just spot on! The toppings and sauce are well balanced. The roasted chicken was a great addition to the vegetarian. If they made cheese sticks with a marinara sauce with that crust it would be a HUGE seller! The green salad was pretty standard and not much that was memorable or forgettable, just good and as expected. Unfortunately, the bruschetta was a huge let down -- we literally received halved cherry tomatoes on a piece of bread. They served it with olive oil to drizzle, but that did not even come close to what we expected. There are a few cats that roam the outside patio, but they don't bother you much. The staff was welcoming and we had good conversation with the server even for it being 20 mins before they closed.
