The pasta leaked everywhere, the tart came broken as if the delivery man maybe took a piece? & the steak tartare was a giant mush. Worst part is I specifically asked for utensils and of course it came with none. So I couldn't even really eat my food especially the steak. Please DO BETTER because your food is actually good.

The service is very good, with the waiters/servers ensuring that you are comfortable, and are aware of all the deliciousness on the menu. The ambiance is very chill, yet lively at the same time. You can enjoy your meal amongst others who are dining in. I ordered a mixed salad which was delicious, and also linguini with clams and tomatoes. The linguini was on point! I could tell that the pasta was fresh and handmade!!! The sauce was so delicious with nice earthy notes of garlic and herbal notes of parsley. What a treat! Cheers to good eats!

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.

The pizza was good and the bread and oil was delicious. However, I went with a group of four people who had been eating the same things the whole trip. My partner and I ate a salad from this restaurant that nobody else in our group had and we both got violently sick. Looking back, we shouldn't have eaten fresh vegetables in Mexico but at such a nice establishment I guess we figured it would be okay. Do not assume like we did. If you do go here, opt for the pizza, skip the pastas, all we're mediocre and the shrimp was very obviously not fresh.

We stumbled into this restaurant as a family of five, very late at night with no reservation. While…read moreall of the other restaurants were playing loud music and had essentially turned into clubs, Parole was the calmest of them all. We were greeted by friendly staff who seated us at a large comfortable table that had both a couch and chairs, which was very comfortable. The restaurant focuses on Italian food, with seafood and steak options. The decor reminds me of a French shabby chic vibe, very pretty! Charred octopus- 7/10 Steak- 10/10 (best we've ever had! and we eat at amazing steak houses in Los Angeles) Spicy vodka pasta- 7/10 (spicier than im used to, but hey we are in Mexico.

We had a large bachelorette party and luckily had the place virtually all to ourselves. We ordered a ton of food and shared everything amongst the party. Our favorite appetizers were: STEAK CARPACCIO and the SCALLOPS W/ CAULIFLOWER PURÉE. Our favorite pastas were: CARBONARA FETTUCCINE W/ TRUFFLE and the ALASKAN KING CRAB RAVIOLI. Other honorable mentions were the DUCK SALAD & the BOGAVANTE RISOTTO W/ ASPARAGUS. Honestly, all the food we got was delicious and we really enjoyed our dinner and the experience overall. We ended the night with the DOLCI PAROLE SAMPLER because we couldn't decide on which dessert to try AND they even gave the bride to be a complementary cake. Needless to say, we left STUFFED. Highly recommend trying our Parole, especially if you're not into the super chaotic nightclub-like restaurant types such as Rosa Negra and Taboo.

After being seated, we were advised that they no longer serve beef, in-fact, they don't serve any meat anymore. The current concept is Italian home-style cooking. There is no menu, you will be served a three course set menu, with the principal dish being seafood and pasta. The place looks charming enough, and could be worth trying, but they should change their name as there is no longer a functional grill, and they do not serve any meats. I am posting 1 star only because I went there specifically for the mixed grill, which no longer exists.
