The 19 best Italian restaurants in Cozumel

If you want authentic Italian cuisine look no further! K’ooben lab is an amazing family owned restaurant, one of the best on the island. The staff will make you feel at home and the food will make you think your Nonna made it, do not miss this gem! Breakfast lunch and dinner it’s a must for Cozumel!

The most important thing to say about the Laab is that they clearly care about food and that comes through in everything they serve. The ingredients are so fresh and flavourful. The dishes are creative and well executed. I have no critiques of the food and drink at all. We had: the mixed meat and cheese platter (all of which were delicious and a very enjoyed diversion from the typical fare in Cozumel), a mango-anchovy risotto that was so bright and lively, the carbonara (the best I’ve ever had. Their housemade pasta is excellent), and their chocolate cake (decadent in all the right ways but just shy of being too much). The drinks (red wine, mezcal, as gin cocktail) were all lovely. Some of the best food I’ve had anywhere - hands down. Their staff know and appreciate their food - and so they do their job well.

K'ooben Laab was recommended to us by multiple people before visiting Cozumel for our first time. By far the best place we've eaten on the island. Our server Joel was amazing and had the best recommendations for us. Everything truly is so fresh and the creators put so much care and time into each dish.

We were really impressed! It started with homemade cheese and tomato bread on the house..absolutely delicious! Then we had a great Bolognese. You can really feel the passion and love that goes into this place. Highly recommended!

amazing!!! worth walking to go there!! prices are compatible with the food they offer! amazing pasta with shrimps and tiramisu was delicious!

This place kept popping up on lists of places to try in Cozumel and can confirm, it’s with good reason. The restaurant itself is slightly away from the main tourist drag-it has a cute rooftop area with creative takes on Italian staples. The focaccia and mussels with white wine were standouts-but the carbonara pasta and lasagna were both delicious. The service was excellent-they even offered to secure us a taxi when we clearly were too full for the walk back to our hotel. Definitely a must visit.

I had such an amazing time! I’ve been to Kooban Laab so many times, and it’s been my favourite restaurant for years. I love that they always give fresh focaccia to start the meal. The portion sizes feel small, but the pasta is so well made. Also, I’m always full by the end of the meal, so one plate is the perfect size. Today we had Joel as our waiter, and he was so nice! He suggested they’re special for the day was the ravioli and it was legit the best pasta I ever had.

Excellent restaurant, near the downtown square, great food & service, clean bathrooms. Not cheap, water is bottled and about $3.50 each, well worth the money for a nice meal. We had a large group, can't split bill so recommend one person just pays for it and have others reimburse.

This place is an absolute gem and hands down one of the best restaurants in the area. From the moment we arrived, the staff was friendly, welcoming, and attentive. The service was fast, professional, and consistent, making the entire experience even better. The pizza was incredible, perfectly baked, loaded with fresh, high quality ingredients, and full of flavor in every single bite. The pasta was just as amazing, cooked perfectly al dente with a rich, creamy, and well balanced sauce that was packed with flavor. And the lasagna was absolutely perfect. Layers of fresh pasta, rich sauce, melted cheese, and perfectly seasoned meat made it one of the best lasagnas we have ever had. We also tried a few other items and everything we ordered was outstanding. The flavors were amazing, the portions were generous, and the overall quality was far beyond expectations. If you are looking for the best pizza, pasta, and lasagna in the area, this is the place to go. Whether you are local or visiting, you will not be disappointed. We could not be more satisfied and we will absolutely be coming back again and again.

Must stop here in Cozumel for us!!!! The pizza and baked break is insane cooked in a huge wood fired oven you can see when walking in! We come to Cozumel yearly and Guido's is always a spot we eat at once or twice while here in the island. If you love sangria this is some of the best I've ever had (not a wine drinker at all either) with freshly cut apples and other fruits in a large ceramic pitcher. Just outside is located the oceanfront view which has the most amazing sunsets on the island which I pictured for you. Ps Guido's is a little more upscale then your local taqueria so will be paying $80-100 for a nice meal for your family.

Amazing food. The staff are like family for the regulars that visit. I visit every time I’m on the island. The goats and green salad accompanied by the lasagna is a fav, of course that quickly changes depending on the daily specials. The house made sangria is always a good choice as you soak up the oasis type atmosphere in the back.

Guido's is one ofy great constants of the universe. This lovely little gem of a restaurant delivers great salads and seafood, and one of the most unique and yummy baked lasagnas anywhere. We go for the caprese salad, lasagna and their great home made sangria. Try it out and you're going to come back every time you come back to Cozumel.

The food at this restaurant is excellent. I had the Mahi Mahi and it didn't disappoint. I also had a grilled shrimp appetizer that was delicious with garlic bread. Service and atmosphere outstanding.

Modest storefront, lovely and spacious interior. We sat out in the garden area. I had the sweet potato ravioli and the tossed green salad. Both were fresh and delicious and the presentation was beautiful. There was lovely Italian music playing and not too loud. The bathroom was uncommonly nice. Our experience could not have been better.

We had a wonderful meal here last night, the staff were lovely, extremely attentive and kind. They could not do enough for us and we're very helpful. We ordered the mussels, fish of the day and the carbonara all were exceptional and a fantastic price. I ordered a cocktail and they gifted me the cup which was very kind they didn't have to. I would highly recommend this restaurant!!!! 💖💖

This place was a breath of fresh air. Was looking for a classy Italian vibe in Cozumel and this spot fit the bill! It's off the main road a tad, tucked away on a one way street. The decor was beautiful and the staff was extremely attentive. The food was solid; I had the beef carpacio as a starter and the duck breast for my main. No drinks this time; while they have a full bar their main thing is wine (and I wasn't in the mood for vino.) For 4 people, the tab came to less than $150 tip; money well spent in my book. Highly recommend if you're craving Italian fare.)

Typically in Mexico I want tacos and authentic Mexican food. But after 10 days here, I need to change it up and I’m soooo glad we found this gem. Great staff, huge portions and great service and the food was amazing. I had leftovers for 2 meals!!! Super affordable if you don’t have alcohol. Desert was delicious. We’ll make this restaurant one of our local favs!!! It’s also very boujie if you want to dress up for a fancy occasion. If you’ve had your fill of tacos and ready for some authentic Italian cuisine, yeah- you’ll appreciate La Cocay!!! We definitely recommend it!!!

Excellent food and service. Would recommend going there early or making reservations as the restaurant gets busy after 8:00.

I can handle being told at 1015 as I sit down that they close at 11 so I’d better order fast. I suppose that means they want you out the door at 11. Fine. Respect. I cannot accept them forgetting I asked for my plate to be out in a to-go box along with the salad and dessert I didn’t have time to eat there. They didn’t have any to-go fork, knife or spoon they said. So I said okay, I’ll eat my leftovers, salad and dessert with my fingers in my hotel room just to get out of your awful energy that just wants me to leave. I’m a problem customer at 1015pm. What is TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE is La Cocay messing up and me rushing, cutting up half my chicken dinner into finger-sized pieces to eat at my hotel with no flatware…nor napkin…but that they apparently forgot and then handed me a to-go box with, supposedly my leftovers…to discover a box of rice with half a sweet poroto thing and lo chicken. No sauce. None of the vegetables. Just dry rice and half a sweet potato thing. I’m totally offended. They probably picked my leftover half sweet potato thing out of the trash and dumped it on a pile of rice leftover in the kitchen. I paid like $25 for that chicken at the current exchange rate and they ganged me trash and stole my food. My bill was over $1000 pesos and I was rushed, pressured and hurried and they gave me trash leftovers. Imagine if I even ate this and got sick!! Totally awful experience.

Best restaurant in Cozumel! Our third year coming here, multiple times each trip. Everything is fresh and delicious. The service is impeccable, especially our server Eliezar. Pizzas are an outstanding appetizer, and the pastas can’t be beat. Sit in the garden for some beautiful atmosphere. It’s a dream of place and our absolute favorite when visiting Cozumel 🩷.

This is a more expensive restaurant, but well worth it. The service is top notch, and the indoor dining area and outdoor eating area are really nice. We ate outside, and both had the fish of the day. Decent portions, and very tasty.

Just WOW! This place really deserves a proper highlight.. best place in Cozumel if you enjoy drinks and good food. Don’t need to say more but owner and all the staff were super attentive and make our 1 hour here the best time.

This brewery was great. Good beers with a good selection. They alsonsold local rum and I was able to pick that up. The food look great but we did not eat anything. There is no AC in this building and that might be the only negative thing. They do have lots of fans blowing on you but it's still hot.

Amazing brewry that reminds me of a Michigan microbrewery! Owner is from Michigan and has found a way to be a perfect staple in Cozumel. Try their pizza, craft brew and ceviche!

It’s just a great place. Very comfortable and friendly. Great beer and food. Where else can you get Lionfish pizza?! A breath of fresh air in a sometimes frenetic Cozumel. Spent $100-$200 per person in pesos.

We had heard so much negative about the beer. I've been drinking small brew pub beers since the 80's and think they are doing an excellent job. Style wise spot on. The pizza was great as well as the ceviche. Definitely worth stopping in and I will be back for sure. Edit from last year, Still 5 across the board, pizza great, ceviche great and the beers are improved from last so still good

This is a must stop in Cozumel! Homemade bread- flavors are amazing! Great beer selection. Near the port, convenient to anywhere in town!

I’m not into lion fish on my pizza so I’m not reviewing the food. Check the menu for yourself. The atmosphere is run down. There’s no interaction between you and the staff or others at the bar so show up with your friends. The beer is ok to pretty good but nothing to get excited about. I will say that they have a great pizza oven.

The space has a warm atmosphere, very nice place, it is located on the main avenue of the Island so that is incredible. The service is very friendly, The chef suggested the Famous: The Lobster and Bacon Sandwich, commenting that it was very good, so we took it , but the truth is that it fell very short for what it really is, the combination of the ingredients with the bread is not good at all, I honestly do not recommend it. And we ordered a Garlic Shrimp pizza, it is good, but as a suggestion they could distribute the ingredients more to feel more of the combination of flavors in the slices, otherwise the pizza was very delicious.

The lobster bisque is the best we've ever had. Bacon wrapped shrimp done perfectly, 6 big ones! Lasagna bolognese was also excellent. US/MX exchange rate a bit low so bring pesos if possible. Seating for 16 in the AC, more outside. Definitely recommend and we'll be back!

A SERIOUS 5 Star experience, yet priced extremely well. The food is prepared & presented with perfection, and our server, the young lady, was so kind and helpful. We MUST return! Many times!!!

Great find for super delicious and beautiful food. Right on the main road ocean view, near the ferry. This place was recommended by a street vendor and we are happy we took his advise! The calamari and Brie appetizers were great. We also tried the Greek salad, tortellini, lobster sandwich, corn beef sandwich and two past dishes and they were all fantastic!!

We joined two other couples in celebrating a Birthday here. The menu was outstanding, as was the food. Wait staff was highly professional. The place was clean and nicely decorated with a flair for repurposing. The bathrooms were clean. I had a penne pasta dish that enjoyed. We ordered some appetizers too. Nearly all of them and everyone really enjoyed them, especially the brie one, the tuna tartar, and the toasts with oil and salsa. You won't go wrong here. Prices were good considering a more high end menu and experience. They even brought out a pretty chocolate mousse for the Birthday girl and it had lit candles and all. A wonderful evening.

Made reservations for 7 to celebrate an event. Host was great, waiter was superb, food was spot on! The restaurant came highly recommended by regulars to the island and it didn't disappoint :-) The group had various dishes and everyone agreed it was exceptional. From drinks to apps, entrees and desserts...all worth ordering again!

Just a disappointment. A salad with 3oz lobster tail and a 2nd lunch of pasta cost just over $31.00 and this is to go order. Miserable plain iceberg lettuce with 2 cherry tomatoes and small lobster tail which was over seasoned. Pity because I had read great reviews. Also we needed to take this to go. They had no silverware so we had to sit in the car to eat and return the silverware. Defeated the idea to save time. How do people charge so much for pasta and a few vegtables?

We were surprised to have such a good pasta: really al dente! It are basic italian dishes alfredo, cacio e pepe,…: then your cooking has to be really good to have a good experience, which was the case! The atuna tartare was not special: too large pieces. Tables inside are not cosy, outside sitting is ok. Wines are expensive but good. We went back during our stay because we were satisfied.

Eating Italian when in Mexico seems wrong, especially when in an island like Cozumel. But, after sadly learning that none of the other restaurants at the Intercontinental served any fresh local fish, we decided to give Alfredo Di Roma a try and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Host Marlene was friendly and welcoming, the crissini were crispy, the focaccia authentic and José Ramon offered spectacular service, including asking the chef for a variation of their signature risotto to include local shrimp. It turned out excellent! Eating here became the surprise culinary highlight of our stay. Make sure to take a good look at the XXL wine list, too and maybe try a Mexican (sparkling) wine. The signature Pasta Alfredo dish was very close to the Roman version created for American visitors.

We dined here twice had four dishes and found the food quite good service excellent. Don't listen to these one star complainers here this is a mid-price Italian restaurant of good quality. I recommend the arugula salad the rigatoni and the fresh fish. The only quibble found was the tomato sauce on the rigatoni was a little salty.

Pretty average Italian food at very premium prices. Not bad exactly, just lacking in the magic that usually comes with simple Italian fare. There are several excellent italian places a short drive away in Cozumel town that are literally half the price and serve better food. Service was good but felt very by the book, not particularly personal.

For the love of God do not go here, everything is microwave food where they taste level that is less than banquet brand frozen meals. The salt level is so strong it hurts to eat. It is very very obvious there’s no cooking going on in the kitchen. The waiters are super nice but they know it’s bad because they don’t look you in the eye when they set the plates down nor when they take them back to throw them away uneaten. They don’t even ask you if it was good because they already know. We ordered the lasagna, salmon, eggplant and had maybe 1-2 bites of each. Forgot to add - the Mexican and Mediterranean places at the hotel are fortunately both pretty solid but this place is no good.

Well, I was torn to go or not to go as there’re either very good or very poor reviews. So I took the risk (and probably shouldn’t have). We’re guests at the Intercontinental for 10 days and tried all their restaurants, the Italian wants to be the upper class one but they aren’t. The whole service felt artificial, not authentic. The reason might be that we’re in Mexico and not Italy or at least Europe. The same probably happens for 80% of Mexican restaurants in Europe. But we’ve been there for the food but unfortunately this didn’t convince either. Quality of food (and we’ve chosen rather simple Italian dishes) is average, definitely not worth the price tag. We’re Swiss and have some awesome Italian restaurants in our country and we’re close to Italy and also know the originals very well - what we’ve seen here is not close at all to a good Italian restaurant. Maybe it’s enough for US tourists but it will disappoint Europeans who value a good Italian restaurant. Anyway, we tried (assumed) and know now 🙃

This was the best restaurant I ate at while in Cozumel. It's located inside a hotel and a little far from the downtown but the food is totally worth the trip. I recommend the calamari, eggplant parmesan and the salmon. The service was excellent, it was a very romantic place to spend an evening. Amazing Italian food!

Absolutely wonderful staff and delicious food! The peach wine is so good. They make a fantastic espresso martini and lemon cello. Not sure I've ever been disappointed by the food here always great.

This was a fantastic dinner find and truly authentic Italian. I had a chicken with mushroom white sauce, my wife had melon and prosciutto (that told me there they know Italian) and we shared a burrata salad. Eating in the balcony was awesome as the sun was going down. The servers were so friendly. Only took the one salad pic but wish I’d taken the others.

We are from NYC and San Francisco. Both great food cities. Restaurant Especias is an absolutely delightful, authentic Italian restaurant, owned and run by young Italians. We’ve eaten here at least a dozen times and every meal was like a gift. Service is outstanding. We enjoy Stefano as our waitstaff and the young people who help clear dishes away are almost unnoticable. Very discreet and unobtrusive, just as you would hope them to be. The quality of the food and the fresh ingredients are outstanding. This restaurant could do very well in any major city of the world. We are so glad they chose to be in Cozumel. Keep up the great work!

Out of 9 dinners we had in Cozumel, we ate here 3 times. We'd hoped to try more Mexican restaurants but the food here was too delicious. I would say the authentic Italian food here could compete with anywhere. The young lady that served us was great as well, personable and attentive, a great dining experience!

What a wonderful, authentic Italian restaurant! The chef and owner Francesco was our waiter and we enjoyed the balcony. Our pasta was fantastic but the true gem was the ribeye. We will certainly be back.

Great meal from start to finish. Amazing Italian restaurant in Cozumel. Started with some aperol spritz, best I've had outside of Italy. Perfect ratio of all ingredients. The bruschetta was excellent, very flavorful tomatoes. We brought mahi mahi and barracuda we caught on a fishing trip and they prepared it for us. Started with barracuda steaks which they served fried per our request. Chef did two different styles, both Italian and Mexican style. The mahi mahi we had as both a pasta and sauteed with a garlic sauce. It was served with vegetables on the side as well which were delicious. All of it was outstanding, a true authentic Italian restaurant in Mexico. We came 45 minutes before closing (sorry) and we couldn't have had better service or food. Also the best wine list I've seen on the island, a nice mix of European, American and local wine. Took a tiramisu home and it was exceptional, done in the true Italian style. Can't say enough good things about our visit, a must eat if you enjoy Italian. Can't wait to go back. Thank you to our server and the chef.

Pasta was exceptional. Filet mignon and sauce was tremendous. This was the best meal our family had on the island. We even had an impromptu magic show from one of the servers, much to the joy of the kids!

Horrible horrible experience. We came here for a nice dinner before having to take our ferry back to central Cancún. Our ferry left in 1.5 hours so we notified the servers we needed our food a little fast. It took 50 minutes just to get our table side salad. It was one of the worst salads I have ever eaten. Little to No dressing and what ever we did get was vinegar. Worst part was we found a bug in our salad!! Main courses came out all wrong and very poorly cooked. The frutti de mare pasta had sand from the mussels and was too sandy to eat. Terrible food and terrible service.

We went for simple dinner nothing too fancy. Ordered mushroom & shrimp fondue to start. It was excellent. Be prepared to need extra napkin as it's a little messy. Entrees...Pepe's Prime beef burger....on point! Buttermilk Fried Chicken sandwich with Firecracker Slaw...equally tasty! Highly recommended. Can't wait to come back to try something different next time.

For a fine dining experience on Cozumel, PEPE's is the place to go. PEPE's is located right on the main drag and they always have a well dressed gentleman outside who will take you upstairs to the restaurant. This place is sooooo classy, clean and rich in decor. White linen table clothes, a huge selection of wine and 5 star food. Speaking of the food, the menu has some of the most delicious fare on the island. Make sure you leave room for the desert of flaming flan. Every time we come to Cozumel we go here for a wonderful dining experience. PEPE's is a first class joint.

Wonderful setting with beautiful view of the ocean. Service was Friendly but very very slow food delivery and cash out.

Good food with a Mexican flavor. A little disorganized. The staff tried to do the best. I don’t think we will be back unless in another cruise. Because the place is beautiful and we expect they can improve. They have everything to exit

Really nice high end place with great service. The view is amazing and the window seats are the best!

We had met this waiter Cristian Britto Canche 3 years ago at Ibostar Resort in Cozumel and he was really decent with us. We kept in contact on occasion through Facebook and we able reconnect yesterday at Peppe's Grill in Cozumel where he recommended the ceaser salad that he made the dressing from scratch. We enjoyed our dinner immensely as it was a really nice quiet resturant with amazing views. The food was hot and tasteful The beers were nice and cold with chilled glasses. I wish we could have sampled more of the menu but we were stuffed. If you looking for a wonderful meal and great service go to Peppe's grill and ask for Christian or any other staff as they were all friendly. But remember to relax as your on Mexico time.

The food was fantastic and the service was great. I highly recommend trying it while you are visiting.

I had lobster fettuccine and my sister had a lemon chicken pasta dish. Both were great. Very friendly and attentive staff. I wish I could comment on the pizza from experience but the table next to us had pizza and it looked AMAZING. Drinks are a bit on the high side but very good. We almost went back tonight for pizza but plans got in the way. I’ll be thinking about that pizza for a while.

Food is excellent. Owner and staff are very accommodating. We’ve eaten here many times during our trips to Cozumel. A hidden jewel! Highly recommend.

Last night we had the opportunity to sit with a large group at Sorrisi and we were very impressed. From the moment we sat down we were well taken care of. The food was all freshly prepared homemade and was amazing. Plus the portions weee very generous. We ordered a lot of things but the standouts for me were the Quattro frimmagio and the Cesar sales which has a unique take. We can’t wait to go back.

In my many trips to Cozumel I have never seen this place. I wanted Pizza and found this through a Google search. Upon walking in I felt like I had been transported into a charming Italian restaurant nestled in a quaint little town in Italy. The atmosphere was so authentic and the food and service were amazing. The staff took such good care of us that we felt like celebrities. There is something for everyone and I can imagine if all the other menu items tasted half as good as what we ordered those things to would be amazing. I highly recommended this place to anyone in the area.

Its okay but the wait was around 2 hours and the food wasn't the most spectacular. They were out of a oot of food options and the wait was pretty long. But the homemade pasta was worthwhile, very light but the sauce wasn't as flavorful as some

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Sorrisi, an Italian restaurant in Cozumel, and I must say, it was an unforgettable experience! As an Italian cuisine enthusiast, I can confidently say that Sorrisi offers the best Italian dishes on the island. Having been a loyal customer for over 4 years now, I can attest to the consistency and excellence of their menu. The extensive selection of dishes caters to every palate, from classic favorites to unique and innovative creations. What sets Sorrisi apart is not just their exceptional food, but also their exceptional service. The staff is incredibly friendly, hospitable, and knowledgeable. They are always ready to provide recommendations and ensure that every dining experience is personalized and memorable. Now, let's talk about the mushroom truffle soup. Words cannot do justice to how incredible this soup is. It is a true masterpiece of flavors and textures. The earthy aroma of truffles combined with the rich and creamy mushroom broth creates a symphony of taste that is simply unparalleled. It's safe to say that this soup is the best I've ever had. If you're looking for a dining experience that combines the finest Italian cuisine with impeccable service, Sorrisi is the place to be. Trust me, you won't be disappointed!

The greedy girl at the order desk expected a big tip before my order was produced. I waited 45 mins for a cold pizza they left on top of the oven and then didn’t cut it. They sprayed PAM all over it to make it seem fresh. Do yourself a favor and walk another block to get a locally made Za that is 10x better.

Pizza Hut in México! Daddy was super excited to try it and for 79 pesos who was I to stop him. While I personally didn’t try any bc I was too excited for Carnaval. He said it was ok, not quite American but not spicy. Did take off stars bc the worker tried to keep my change by saying that he didn’t have any change in the register to give me . 🙄😑

The food is beyond awful. The buffalo wings were slimming and undercooked and smothered in so much sauce I threw them out. My 2 orders of dessert were not in the delivered order and were Chedder Jalepeno French fries that I ended up trying and were so undercooked and just mushy. Thumbs down all the way for this place.

My daughter wanted pizza so that's what we got her. I came to Cozumel for food that I don't eat in the states. Anyways the pizza was good, except for the thin crust dough it just tasted a little different. We also got a deep dish I believe and that was good.

Pizza Hut has always been my favorite pizza and it is no different here in Mexico. You can expect the same quality here as you would receive in any other Pizza Hut. You will find some of the menu items are different than a Pizza Hut in another country but it is still great. The only downside is that this location gets very busy at times (which should tell you a lot), the result is service can be a little slow during those periods so have a little patience and enjoy.

Ordered pizza for delivery 5 times over the last 6 months. The pizza was only good once. Very skimpy on cheese and other toppings. The Cajeta dessert last night had the filling outside the dough and hard baked into the bottom of its box. Oh and the delivery driver had no cambio, ridiculous.

Tastes like home. Every though the resort is all inclusive and the food was good.. you just got to grab a Mexican Pizza Hut pizza if you get the chance. Like How often can you say that? We ordered a few larges and took them back to the hotel to eat.

For many month I tried to find a good pizza in Central America and this one is definitely the best. If you love real pizza like neapolitan style then this is your shop, absolute delicious pizza!!! I will definitely visit again!

An excellent pizza from a couple who have put their blood, sweat, passion and tears into a pizza business. The pizza is well made with quality 00 flour. It has an excellent pliability and bite in the mouth. With a 900F-plus oven, the pizza is toasting well with a nice, quality crust throughout. I really hope these two fine people find a new owner to pass their restaurant on to before the beginning of May. Thanks for giving it your all!!!!

If you want to try an authentic southern style Italian pizza in Cozumel, Pizzeria La Bota must be your choice !!! I tried the Parma and the Salame pizza and both were very delicious. The dough is made fresh each day and Fabian the capo baked it to its perfection. Jasmin's hospitality is on another level and will make your pizza tasting adventure even more delightful. Hope to come back asap :)

Wonderful pizza! Crust & toppings are delicious and so, so fresh. Ask about pizzas not listed on the menu. One pizza was the right size for 2 of us: not too much, nor too little. We loved Pizzeria La Bota so much we returned during the short time we had left in Cozumel. Now back home, we still crave it. Take-out or relax at one of the indoor tables. Intimate & unpretentious. Very clean. The owners, a young couple, are extremely friendly, hard-working, & eager to please. They take great pride in their work (and their beautiful tiled pizza oven). We came as guests and left as friends.

Great couple, very tasty pizza. We had the margarita and the ham and mushrooms…. Hit the spot! When u want to scratch that pizza itch….la bota is the place to be!

Great food, friendly service for a great price. We had a craving for pizza while on our vacation in Cozumel And this place took us back to Italy! Authentic style pizza! Multo bene! Sehr lecker, dankeschoen 😊

Ate here last night-really, really good pizza. Crust was perfect. There’s nothing better than a piping hot pizza right out of the oven! Highly recommend the prosciutto and arugula.

Wonderful dining experience with fantastic seaside views! You're welcomed and greeted with smiles. Gasper provided us sterling service our glasses were never dry, our orders were perfect. The food is wonderful, fresh, unique and flavorful. Fine dining. Lobster Calzone, it was excellent! We enjoyed it so much we went back two days later and Gasper welcomed us with open arms!

Great food, way more than a pizza place. Filet minion, ceviche, and octopus. It's fancy, but great food for all.

Food: 2/5 Lobster pizza: totally overrated, don't go for it. There is almost no lobster meat on an interpretation of a pizza Margherita. Pizza really small for 695 Pesos (!). The lobster was not fresh, like gummy, the ordered garlic was forgotten or ignored and the Mexican Pizzaiolo has no idea how the Italian national dish has to be served. Example: the Calzone needs to be properly closed and once served and opened, steam needs to get out - that makes a Calzone. Here: nothing like that, just an amateur-like folded dough-something. BTW I told the waiter my concerns about the pizzas without complaining - he understood and promised to tell the "Chef" - but no reaction. Every criticism leaves room for improvement, if you take it seriously. Unfortunately you don't. Sea food tower: okayish, not more. Not all ingredients were fresh, parts were like gummy. But nicely presented. 480 pesos for an appetizer. Ambiente: 4/5 Basically 5 stars, but no Moskito protection so when it gets dark you're bitten for sure. So I have to reduce one star - in such a restaurant they could be prepared or provide repellent. Really outstanding terrace provides a perfect sunset. Service: 3/5 they try to be nice but at the end have no clue about good gastronomy. They see that you're still checking the menu but come and ask immediately what you wanna eat. Probably badly paid staff coz most of them couldn't speak a word of English. Examples: took away the pizza plate while I still had my fork in my hand and my partner was still eating. Didn't give me a fresh fork and knive after the greeting from the kitchen (which was good, home made garlic bread, made of pizza dough). Only one waiter spoke some English (which isn't a big Malus for me, but for other guests it might be am issue). Music: 1/5 played "zombie" of the cranberries twice an evening. Not the music you want for such a nice, romantic terrace at the sunset. Bathrooms: 3/5 Not smelly, but not clean as well. Soap and paper provided. Could be much cleaner and tidy. Value for the money: 2/5 You pay for the venue, not for excellent or outstanding food. Pizza is too small and not well-made. The espresso is horrible (70 pesos btw) and is more like a half cup of an American coffee. Piu ristretto per favore! The owner can't be Italian as this is a major mistake besides the pizza. In every Italian highway restaurant (autogrill) you get better coffee. Pity, coz they have a good machine but don't know how to use it. Altogether 2/5 - sorry. ... And a lot missed chances and much room for improvement!

Amazing service as you sit right on the ocean watching the sunset with a glass of wine. The waiters were very attentive, friendly and couldn't do enough for you without being intrusive. The views stunning and with a prime location right in town, it's perfect for a romantic sunset dinner or to enjoy the tranquility on your own as I did. Their deck extends out over the water, as the sun goes down and the lights come on, the crystal clear waters hold colourful fish for you to watch, I even saw a ray glide past. Overall an sublime evening, but the veggie pizza was a little tasteless. I will admit carrot sticks on a pizza is a first for me and I didn't even care because the rest makes it worth it.

Delicious wood fired pizza and superb pasta. A lovely big covered patio with outside seating right on the seafront and also an air conditioned dining room. Service was impeccable. Highly recommended.

A favorite restaurant on the island of Cozumel. Wonderful service and food. I would highly recommend after a day of diving!

Great place for sunsets! They have a small deck you can walk onto and take some pics where you are not in the way of people eating. Food was good, but not amazing. I would still go again because the restaurant had a good vibe, view & service. Garlic bread - is actually garlic pizza. It was average and wouldn't order it again Fettuccine with prawns (creamy red sauce based) - sauce was tasty and prawns were good. Pasta was a little tough (but didnt ruin the meal) Pizza - was tasty and good cheese Tiramisu- not that much flavour. Wouldn't recommend. I would still go back to this place; food was still tasty - just did not have the wow factor :)

The pizza is flavorful and so is the pasta. I think anything you order will be worth your while. Plus fantastic views thats right by the water

Always stop here while on the island and always leave happy! My go-to is the Fiesta Mexicana pizza and it's amazing. My mom had the spaghetti Pomodoro and she really enjoyed it as well. The puffy bread is soooo good dipped in the habanero oil! And, well the view just can't be beaten!

Best tiramisu I have ever eaten. Excellent service. We had minestrone soup, salad and homemade garlic bread (complimentary). Caeser salad and spinach ravioli. Food was outstanding. Delicious sangria and lovely coffee to finish. We cannot wait to come back! Best Italian I have ever been to!

Air conditioned. Small authentic Italian open for lunch and early dinner. Limited menu of just 4-6 items. Had the bone-in, thick-cut pork chop. Amazing, and not over cooked. Wife had the Mahi. Soup, salad, bread, all complimentary. 10/10 will go again.

I really wanted to like this place. It's really cute (and air conditioned) inside and has a nice patio area. When you walk in, there is a counter full of cake pans with the food (all at room temperature) available that day. You make your choice and then you are seated. You order your drinks and then you are brought your soup and bread sticks which come with your meal. Then a small salad is served. Your entree is microwaved and brought after the salad. I ordered the chicken parmesan ($180), and although it tasted ok, it was a really thin piece of chicken and I'm not even sure it had been heated at all because it was still room temperature when I received it. It came with a side of pasta. My fiance had the lasagna ($168), and it had definitely been heated more thoroughly than mine. The soup needed salt, but was full of vegetables. The salads were good and had what tasted like a raspberry balsamic dressing, and the bread was tasty. The entrees were ok. We also had a liter of pineapple water ($90) with what appeared to be basil (or mint? I couldn't taste it), and it was refreshing.

This was one of my favourite places on the holiday. After travelling for 3 weeks I was craving something what tasted like home. This cute little restaurant is family owned, they transport flour from Italy, so the handmade pizza and pasta tastes just like being there. Being there felt like eating in Nonna’s living room, surrounded with family pictures. The whole experience and dishes were amazing! Try the tiramisu aswell!

Lovely place with a shady patio and indoor dining. The menu changes daily. You choose from several entrees and meals are served with soup, salad and bread. Everything was well prepared and delicious. Nice classical music was playing, a welcome change. Overall a civilized place for lunch. Only drawback, no beer and limited wine choices.

I wish I had known about this restaurant two weeks ago so I could have enjoyed more visits. They have a selection of about 6 types of pasta. You choose your dinner (we had lasagne and spinach ravioli). Along with your choice of dinner...this includes a small salad with amazing vinaigrette dressing. A basket of crispy garlic bread and the best Italian soup I've tasted in a very long time. We also had a side order of a chicken Caesar salad which was huge. We both had a rose sangria with fresh strawberries, cubed apples and pears. Mind blowing! If that wasn't enough we had heard about their tiramisu. We shared this dessert which was excellent in taste and consistency. Chocolate was not super sweet which was appreciated after our large dinner. The service and professionalism exhibited by the wait staff, kitchen workers and owner were beyond excellent. A must go to restaurant while on Cozumel. Best authentic Italian I've had in quite some time.

This was a perfect family style Italian restaurant. The food was beautiful. The service was amazing. My friend who lives in Cozumel eats there a lot and turned us onto it so I highly recommend it. I’m a bit of a foodie.!!

Food is cooked to order, so be prepared for a wait. If you need something ask, don't wait for them to ask. The culture. Chicken on both meals was cooked great, pasta was OK. Sauces were ok.

Great food, service and ambiance! First time here & it was wonderful. Very cozy, comfortable. We pretty much had the place to ourselves. One of the best dinners out in Cozumel. We will definitely return.

Excellent casual dining place for Italian and pizza! Sangria is incredibly tasty! The garden seating area is much improved with less grass (less mosquitoes) and more flooring. We sat inside for wanting a/c but don't bother - the 1 a/c shows to be on but doesn't cool and there is a terrible echo issue no matter where you sit so not only are you forced to listen to everyone else's convo but it's impossible to enjoy your own group's dinner discussion. I had the lasagna while hubs had chicken Florentine with sangria. Both were delicious but service was slow/lacking - the sangria was served hot - like the wine bottle had been next to the oven or something. Still nice place give a try because the food is always good.

Beautiful place with amazing food and great customer service. Super tasty pizza and the garlic bread omg is really good. Is located 5 minutes away from the ferry pier buy without all the noise and tourists area around. Definitely will visit this place again. Recommend 100%

We are in Mexican paradise and craving pizza 🍕. We know it is a contradiction to tacos or ceviche. Benito's is near our place, so we decided to give it a try. As travelers of the Caribbean, we are beware of island pizza. Sliced hotdogs in place of pepperoni is common, and we have learned to ask before ordering. Benito's has pepperoni!!! We ordered two pizzas, the Benito Lovers and the Soley. Both were thin crust, packed with toppings, and delicious. Our server was exceptional. We will be back to sample the pasta dishes.

Ordered pizza multiple times for delivery over Facebook messenger- it has been consistently good- service is fast efficient and helpful. Pizza is amazing! We have tried the Benito lovers, Hawaiian and the Benito lovers with pineapple added- all fantastic- highly recommend!

Man o man, this restaurant is just superb for Italian Food on Cozumel. Beats the competition hands down. And at around 1/2 the price of the others in town. The puffed garlic bread is a perfect starter to get things going. One observation however. The portions are simply massive. Their Medium Pizzas can easily serve two people. The salads are huge and soups are the same. All in all a wonderful dining experience that should not be overlooked when on the island.

We had the Torino's and pepperoni pizzas with the Nutella pie desert. All were delicious and we'd order them again. Know the pies a take a long time to come out, so be prepared for a wait...but we found them to be worth it!

Torino’s is in walking distance from our house and it’s usually one of our regular restaurants. We actually ate here last week and it was good. We ordered the same pasta and salad and the salad was good but the pasta was completely different. Also our friends order the same salad but they bought her a Caesar salad by mistake and the waitress got mad and they insisted it was our mistake so she ate the Ceasar. Also our drinks were empty when she brought the food but she never ask if we wanted anything else and pretty much ignored us the rest of the night. So sad but we probably won’t be back.

Friends invited us to join them at Torino's Pizza. We were a party of eight, but the place wasn't crowded. The bar service was slow. One of the pizzas arrived before all of our drinks arrived. The pizza was okay. The crust was thin and droopy. Our friends made the comment that the crust was not the norm. The conversation level was pleasant. Later in the evening there was a band.

Outstanding pizza and great service. I had the Jersey, which has mozzarella, basil and pepp. Nice thin dough but thicker crust. The flavors were spot on. Servers were very attentive and polite. Pleasant outdoor dining on a cool April evening. Perfecto.

Great place to enjoy some delicious food. Had the pizza Margarita and it was amazing, the three dipping sauces they give you on the side are great. Honestly, could be a little cheaper but i think prices are reasonable.

Great pizza with lots of topping choices and creative and delicious choices. I got the fig, blue cheese and serrano ham pizza and my friend got the Haiwaiian. Super nice wait staff and I like the open air concept. Owner also sings a great set at the Money Bar. Stop in here for a pizza, then go listen to live music and watch the sunset!

Small and cozy restaurant, a bit away from the tourist promenade, but definitely worth a visit! Incredibly delicious pizza, super nice, polite and professional staff, soulful atmosphere and live music! They also have a convenient delivery by WhatsApp! Must go in Cozumel!

We love this little restaurant. The owner, Erica, is very sweet and the food is always very fresh and very good, no matter what one orders. One of our favorite restaurants in all of Cozumel!

Excellent place for delicious "locals" style food! Good service and great value! Everything we have ever ordered was fresh made and flavorful and the table salsas are excellent. Usually lunch starts off with a soup before the main course and the flavored water of the day is included in the price! Super bien!

Excellent!! Tasty, filling, home-style cooking. Delicious 2 course meals offered with soup, entree plus 2 sides, and beverage included. We both had chicken soup, one pork milanesa and fish with garlic sauce, iced tea and the bill was 365mxn. We will be back!!!

Great food, great service, you will always get 3 course lunch plus fresh breuvage. If you looking for a authentic Mexican lunch that the place to go from Monday to Saturday

I got the menu of the day, entrance, main dish two sides water and dessert. Definitely we will come back! Super tasty great service and nice atmosphere.

The food is great! Cheaper than most of the restaurants, and the portions are great sizes! They are very friendly and nice!

Small quiet restaurant off the main path. Food is good, prices are good, staff is nice, serving size is good for price. My 16 year old daughter and I order one plate of food to share, each get a soda and then share a piece of yummy lime pie for dinner and it around 300 pesos or $20 US dollars. That leaves of both pretty full. Other places cost 500 pesos and leave me still hungry with no dessert and only 1 drink to share instead of each having our own. We are here three times during our trip due to the quality and value of the food. Our hotel is Caribo Cozumel just like a block away which is also awesome, good prices, clean and super safe

I went to eat with my daughter. We saw it on Google Maps. We wanted a nice, homey place. And that's exactly what we got. The food is so delicious and fresh. The chef makes everything on the spot. We ordered pasta with tomatoes and eggplant and porcini pasta, we also got a fresh salad, excellent soup and garlic bread. For dessert we had tiramisu. The owners are lovely people. If you're in a hurry, don't come, when they make it on the spot it takes a while. But it's worth it. A highly recommended experience.

Most authentic tasting Italian food I’ve had in a while. Which goes the same for the atmosphere, you feel like you’re sitting in your nonna’s kitchen watching her cook delicious, fresh food for you. It’s a small place to totaling only 5 tables. So it’s a comfortable, homey atmosphere. So glad we stopped by here as we’ll be coming again before we leave the island. The owners are so so nice as well which makes you want to return.

Did a day trip to Cozumel from playa del Carmen. Was looking for some different food options. Only about 4 or 5 tables in the restaurant. But I loved the open kitchen concept. And One the best lasagnas I’ve ever had. It was super light and fluffy. Most lasagnas are super dense and heavy imo. My wife had the carbonara and she really liked it. Both entrees came with a soup or salad. Minestrone soup and salad was also fire. Side note The bathroom was also super clean too🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

Is it really possible to get authentic tasting Italian food in Cozumel? Yes it is! We ate here last night and from the moment we walked in one of our senses told us we were in Italy. While it is a very small restaurant with only five tables, it is well worth the wait to get in. The service was impeccable, the food was absolutely delicious and the price was more than reasonable. The only drawback was they don’t serve alcohol, but they are working on their license. Some wine would’ve made it absolutely perfection.

Va Tutto Bene is an absolute gem in Cozumel! The homemade pastas are nothing short of perfection, with rich flavors and fresh, authentic ingredients that transport you straight to Italy. Their desserts are equally remarkable—crafted with care and bursting with flavor, they’re the perfect way to end your meal. The owners are absolutely wonderful—warm, friendly, and passionate about providing an unforgettable experience. This place is a must-visit; don’t miss it!

Always delicious, and tonight was no exception. Tonight's specisl was like a long ravioli stuffed with beef and devine broth. Such an elegant dinner. The carbonara is my go-to. I have it at least once a week. Better than I had in Rome. Chef Lydia has the perfect touch with all of the dishes! Bravo!

The BEST Italian food I have had in Mexico, maybe anywhere! The chef puts a lot of care and love into preparing the dishes. I had the special of the day which was like a shrimp alfredo with homemade noodles. I would want to eat here weekly if I lived in Cozumel! The owners are super friendly and hospitable. Best wishes Lydia and Matteo!

She makes everything from scratch. Her food is heavenly. Too full to try her deserts but, next time for sure😍

Very quaint and very, very reasonably priced Italian restaurant. Plenty of pasta dishes to choose from. My husband had the lasagna and I had the pesto garlic Parmesan and both were excellent! Also ordered a salad which was plenty for two people. Such a nice change after several days of having Mexican and seafood. Fantastic service and the owner is very friendly. This restaurant is off the “beaten path” a bit but so worth it to go!

Very sweet little place with excellent pasta dishes of all kinds. Order a salad first - one is big enough for 2 people. Then the main course plates are not big enough to share really but they are very reasonably priced so order 2 kinds and share that way. Desserts are also excellent!

Nice little Italian restaurant with great food made by the owner. Friendly service and fair pricing !

Adorable place with delicious pasta and desserts. We will def come again when we are in Cozumel.

Neat little restaurant with good pasta! Very nice and polite owners!

I love Pasta Roo! Really good, authentic Italian cuisine!

Highly recommend to anyone looking for great food, amazing margarita's and an fun atmosphere. The family is very inviting and makes you feel like one of their own. Francesca and her mother are wonderful and love to share the deliciousness of their family recipes!

10/10 this place has everything you could ask for. It’s a 5 minute walk from the city center and absolutely beautiful atmosphere. The owners were so nice and our Margaritas were so good! Highly recommend!

Lovely family restaurant with delicious food. Chicken Parmesan is a must. The pasta primavera was delicious and very generous with the veggies. I've been here more times than I can count. My kids always ask, when are we going to get spaghetti and meatballs whenever we visit the island.

Such a great spot! We stumbled upon this place walking around town and we are so glad we stopped in. The setting is beautiful with overhanging hibiscus flowers and plants. We each had a traditional margarita and they were delicious!! We will definitely come here again before we leave Cozumel.

One of our favorite local places, with beautiful tropical landscaping to provide shade and privacy. The food is fantastic, the cervezas are cold, and you feel like a guest in someone's home. Absolutely delicious dishes (we recommend the Fish Yucatan), great hideaway atmosphere, and kind people. If you're looking for a quiet part of San Miguel and an excellent meal, this is the place for you.

Loved that place! Hidden gem right next to the busy area, but if you want to escape for a while, this is the right place. Homemade Italian inspired food by a super friendly family. This place kinda reminded me of an old school Italian places where you’re treated as a family as soon as you walk through the doors. Very special to have a place like that in the very busy tourist area. And the food is delicious too!

The best authentic Italian food & ribs on the island. Eating their pasta, lasagna and chicken parmesan is a must-do whenever you visit Cozumel.
