What more can be said...this is the best restaurant in San Miguel! Best Italian food at a very fair price. The wait staff is impeccable and outgoing and fun! Please ask for Erwin or Filipe (sp?) the made our two visits very memorable! It was my fiancé's birthday and she was treated like a queen! You MUST start with the Garlic Bread....pizza crust baked in wood-fire oven puffed to perfection! Wait...the Sangria!! Get the jug of Sangria and enjoy a perfectly mixed drink! Both salads are FANTASTIC! Lasagna and Carbonara....yes i know cliche, but i have not eaten lasagna that good outside of Rome. Seriously. Thin noodles, tight béchamel, baked perfect in a metal dish! Make sure to get the dessert...believe it was a coconut ice cream cake wow. Had the Ribeye as well and it was cooked perfect and amazing for imported meat. I highly doubt they serve a bad dish here. Chef is Italian transplant The and the specials are very Original and broad. read more

LOVE! Best place in Cozumel if you have an appreciation for fine cuisine and quality food w/ a great presentation. We came back to this place several time because everywhere we would go...it wouldn't meet the expeditions of Guidos. I give it a 5 star because not only was the food delicious but the service was beyond exceptional. You get what you pay for so if you don't mind paying a lil more ( really it's not that much, don't be cheap) , come to Guidos. I recommend to come at night because the ambience is romantic. read more

Loved the ambience, we sat on the patio, which gave you a true local feel. I had to Baked Lasagna which was recommended by others and was better than expected. The service was very good. Will definitely be back next time we're in town. read more

Ahhhhh. Finally, something besides crap margaritas and bland food. Guido's nailed it. Nice typical selection of food, and as I sat having a Green Margarita ( cucumber, lime, Chile salt rim ) in walks a local with 3 wahoo in a bucket to sell to the chef. I decided to have the fish:) Prepared very well, little butter and well seasoned. Perfecto. Appetizer was their special garlic bread ( fresh tortilla with butter/garlic) and fish carpaccio. Not sure I will ever be back in Cozumel, but if I am I'll come here. read more

Guido's - Italian Near Me - Quintana Roo, ROO

We were in Cozumel for a day when the Cruise Ship that we were on was diverted there due to bad weather in the Eastern Caribbean. We chose Guido's for lunch based on Yelp Reviews and we were not disappointed. We started by sharing a pitcher of house sangria ($13 for a small and $18 for a large) and their brick oven baked garlic bread, which is like pita bread with garlic butter, and a cranberry and baked goat cheese salad with pecans, all of which was delicious. We shared the lasagne as a main course and it was the best lasagne that I've ever tasted. The pasta was as thin as the filo dough in Baklava, and the brick oven melted the tastes into melt in your mouth perfection. We were so full after that, that we did not get dessert, but I suspect those are excellent as well. Best of all is the romantic ambiance of the outdoor garden setting. Even if you are in Cozumel for a few hours, this place is not to be missed. (BTW, our total bill was $45 for the two of us.) read more

Great ambience and homemade ice cream!! The restaurant has an air conditioned dining area, followed by a bar, followed by a romantic outdoor covered area. It's very cozy, with nice solid wood chairs and tables in the outdoor seating area. The wait staff is incredibly attentive. The food was tasty. We paid $47 USD for garlic bread, lasagna, pizza, 2 beers, water and homemade coconut ice cream. The ice cream was amazing! It was not overly sweet like most ice creams are - this was perfect!! Will definitely return on our next vacation to Coz! Very good food at a great value! read more

The food was unbelievably fantastic, cannot understate just how good everything we ordered was. The service was really good, and generally the atmosphere of the entire place was awesome. Some of our favorite Italian EVER, especially for Mexico! Our favorites were the Capresse Salad and the Carbonara. Fantastic!! read more

I enjoyed the atmosphere but the food wasn't that great. The outdoor dining area is beautiful. Highly recommend the chocolate mousse though and our server placed it in the freezer for us when we ordered our entrees and it was the best i've ever had! I'll always have chocolate mousse in the freezer now read more

Sooooooo goooooood!!!! Lasagna, pizza, and that house made garlic bread are to die for! They had a crab croquette daily apraxia that was out of this world. I wish I would've take pictures but I was too busy stuffing my face! The staff was friendly, the place was adorable. Do yourself a favor and just go. read more

After three trips here, still our favorite place to eat. Ambience of the garden room is fabulous and the food is top-notch.

The food was fantastic. We enjoyed the mahi mahi, pasta with shrimp, calamari, sautéed shrimp, mousse, and sticky cake for dessert. Cesar offered us impeccable service and had great attention to detail. Prices are reasonable and the food is the best on the island! read more

A wonderful experience 2 nights ago (so Sunday) turned into a huge disappointment tonight. Two days ago we had the most wonderful waiter - he was very professional with the right touch of friendliness and very good at his job. My friend - another woman like myself - had a nice glass of cabernet, and we shared Guido's "famous" garlic bread (which the waiter quickly enhanced by bringing over really delicious olive oil). Sunday night, the garlic bread was truly wonderful and delicious - tonight, the second serving was served to us cold. I guess the lack of customers tonight meant that the food made by the chefs was left sitting out getting cold, and neither our waitress nor management noticed! Sunday night, we also shared the most delicious salad I have really ever had - warm goat cheese lightly breaded and pan fried in a creamy dressing with romaine lettuce and cranberries and a stuffed chicken breast with a potato breaded crust stuffed with spinach and cheese over a bed of fettuccine. The chicken dish was too salty for our tastes, so we ate only a portion of it and took most of it back to our hotel. Based on Sunday's really wonderful experience, I would have given Guido's 5 stars - the waiter was super, the wine very nice, and the garlic bread and warm goat cheese salad were really divine. I have been to Cozumel for scuba diving at least 18 times and often have had rwal difficulty getting into Guido's during high season - so imagine my excitement when we got a table quickly on Sunday night and tonight. Tonight, we went back because both of us really wanted to have that delicious warm goat cheese salad again - it was that memorable from when we had it on Sunday night. Tonight, the dressing and ingredients were the same, but the "warm goat cheese" which we experienced on Sunday night - and as the salad is described on the menu - was stone cold. When I took a bite of the goat cheese expecting it to melt in my mouth, I could not believe it. The woman waitress also was not at all friendly to us and this is not unusual for me when I go to highly rated restaurants in San Miguel as a single woman - usually dining by myself - I am treated less than kindly. After discussing things over, we decided to cancel our food order, and we spent about 30 minutes talking and both enjoying very much the excellent cabernet we ordered and actually paid for when we were leaving. I would say management was less than kind to me, and to say they were condensing is putting it mildly. The thing I find sort of "funny" when single woman like myself are treated poorly at restaurants is that no one in Cozumel knows my social status in New York or what I do for a living and, except for tonight when no tip was truly warranted given the waitress' indifference and management's condension to me (so this makes the first time in my adult life I have never left a tip - I grew up relatively poor in Massachusetts and understand the value of hard work). In fact, including on Sunday, I actually always tip in cash at least 25 percent of the bill (including on tax in NY), even in Mexico, where tipping is rare. People here work hard and make so little per hour and need the generous cash tips from non-Mexican visitors to support themselves and their families. Also, as a lawyer with a background in labor law, I am always astounded that Mexico has very few federal or state legal protections for workers. So I am the last type of customer a restaurant should want to have leaving their place feeling mistreated. The moral of this story is to skip Guido's when the resstarant is not busy, as was the case tonight but not on Sunday. Based on our experience - on a night that is sort of dead for Guido's as tonight was - they cook food in advance and it gets cold when there are not enough customers ordering it. read more

This place was recommended by people staying at the same resort we are in. The food and service was amazing. It's outdoors and has the feel of being in Italy. The ambience is also amazing. The prices are very reasonable. Between the four of us we had, ravioli, stuffed chicken, shrimp, and red snapper. Their famous garlic bread and key lime pie are a must have. Just loved everything about this restaurant. A must when you visit Cozumel! read more

Outstanding. We found this on a whim and were so pleased with our luck. We walked in and the very professional hostess took our name and gave us an accurate estimate of the wait time, and even kept us informed of how soon it was going to be. Already very happy with the service! We were seated at a table in the back patio area and the waiters were amazing as well. We both ordered the special, which was a red snapper on some homemade pasta with a side of mixed veg. We also ordered the garlic bread to start and a 1/2 pitcher of sangria. Everything was so good! I have to add more about that main entree, however. We were already getting full after the tasty garlic bread and I thought I wasn't going to eat the pasta. Well it was just TOO GOOD not to. It was clearly made fresh and had that perfectly al dente texture that came with amazing flavor as well. We couldn't get over how good it was. While dinner was not a bargain, it was also not overpriced. I think it was a competitive price for such a high quality meal. Next time we are back in town this is going to be a repeat. Highly recommended. read more

Best Italian food!! The ravioli was absolutely amazing. I don't know who discovered that the flavors of toasted almonds and carmelized onion go together but they deserve a blue ribbon! The lasagna has paper thin pasta that is just perfect! Creme Brûlée and Smokey margarita added some flair to the meal as well. We will never miss a trip to Guido's when we travel to Cozumel! read more

I came with my family of 9 to this restaurant for dinner. Amazing garlic bread and pasta, along with a great staff. Very pleased with this experience. 10/10 recommend. read more

Food is great, but restaurant is very very hot. Not comfortable at all. If you go, make sure you are in the airconditioned area.

The food was the best we have had in Cozumel! From the salad to the pizza and pasta with shrimp, everything was excellent!!! We highly recommend! read more

Delicious food and sangria, the ambiance was nice relaxing and romantic service was fast and friendly

My favorite place in Mexico! Food is delicious, cooked from scratch, wonderful presentation, atmosphere is fantastic and spotless, excellent, awesome service! I had Red Snaper as a catch of the day with pasta and a king crab salad. Their homemade pasta was really homemade!!! When I tried it, I felt like at home, my amazing mom makes pasta with the same taste! Of course I loved it!!! Also the cocktail Bandera was something new and special for me! If you have not tried, then you have too. It was delicious for me ! I highly recommend this place! I will be back as soon as I am in Cozumel, Playa del Carmen or even Cancun! This place is worth to drive read more

The restaurant was packed and the reason became clear once we sat to eat. The food was amazing and well worth the wait! The staff was very friendly and took the time to answer questions and recommend items based on our likes. We will be back each time we visit CZM. read more

I had the lasagna and it was OK. I mean good food, not great there was a line to get in and it was crowded but I don't get why.

I have not been to a better Italian restaurant than this one. The service was great ambiance was wonderful and the food was outstanding.

150+ 5-star ratings for Guido's can't be wrong! While visiting Cozumel for the first time last week, I was in the mood for Italian food. After some quick searching online, my husband found out about Guido's and headed there via cab for late lunch. When we arrived, there were only 2-3 diners. But, by the time the food reached our table, most of the restaurant's main area was full. My husband and I both ordered a garlic bread to share and and order of lasagna each. I also ordered a glass of sangria (which was delicious!) and he had a XX beer. The lasagna was one of the best that I've ever had. I am still thinking about it days late. Highly recommended. You won't be disappointed. read more

The atmosphere and service was excellent, but the food was honestly mediocre compared to other food we had in Cozumel, and was the most expensive meal we had. It definitely feels like a nice American restaurant, has great ambiance, and an excellent menu - but the actual food was just so-so. read more

I love this place. Sit in the courtyard and have some garlic flatbread, capresse salad, beef carpaccio and some sangria. Don't forget desert. The pizza and pastas are obviously good. Excellent. read more

Great ambiance and quality food. Best Italian on the island. Good pizza and can take away.

Nice place and best meal I've had so far on my most recent trip to Cozumel. Like a few others have said the flavors were a little bit bland but a little salt did the trick and made both meals my wife and I had delicious. Definitely get the garlic bread! I had the lasagna and she had fettuccine Alfredo. Busy place but they were able to sit us right away and the wait staff were friendly and helpful. We will definitely be back. read more

Loved Guido's! They had such good food and dessert. If you are craving Italian food on your vacation I highly recommend them. They also had a really nice outside area in the back. read more

Guido's is a popular Italian restaurant on the island for good reasons. The interior is an indoor/outdoor tropical courtyard. We've always received good customer service coming here off and on for the last 20 years. We love our usuals of garlic bread, lasagna, crème brûlée, and chocolate mousse. The crusted goat cheeses cranberry salad was flavorful and the bacon wrapped sea scallops were delicious. We will continue to come back. read more

After many days of eating Mexican food you might crave something different. You will not be alone as this place is packed with foreigners. House sangria: pretty decent sangria and not overloaded with ice. House lasagna: no meat but they use a meat sauce so it's still very delicious. Fettuccine alfredo: a little bland, but the mushrooms were good. Would not order again. Prices are much higher than the local Mexican fare, but still lower than major U.S. cities. Service was courteous and professional. read more

Wandering down the main road in Cozumel in search of something not typically tourist-y. And we happened upon Guidos. Nice inside area - However the patio is gorgeous and comfortable. Food: We stopped for lunch. Goat cheese salads - superb Sautéed calamari appetizer - excellent. Pizza - amazing Mahi Mahi special - out of this world! Sangria is also quite tasty on a hot afternoon. Highly recommended. read more

Guido's - Mahi Mahi special. - Italian Near Me - Quintana Roo, ROO

This was one of my first real meals after a bout of food poisoning and, boy, did that Spaghetti Bolognese taste good! The menu offered many intriguing dishes that I'd love to return for. My group of 7 ordered everything from gorgeous, huge crab claws to seafood pasta died with squid ink and wood-fired calzone. Beyond the food, the atmosphere is wonderful. We were seated outdoors in an enclosed patio. Foliage, nice lighting and no street noise/fumes. Just right for a leisurely dinner. My only nit is the corkage fee of about $17. But then again, Guido's is on the main drag where prices are at or close to US prices. read more

YOU NEED TO GO TO GUIDO'S. This is easily the best restaurant I have ever been to. Easily. They had a bit of a wait, but it was well worth it. My family went here for the first time five years ago during vacation and I vividly remember how delicious this pasta was. When we traveled back to Cozumel last week, Guido's was #1 on my list of places to visit. The whole meal was even better than I could've imagined. We were a pretty big group so I got to try a bit of everything. Sangrías for the table tasted so fresh, like summer in a glass. The Goats & Greens salad was creamy and flavorful and the cranberries were the perfect touch (I'm a sucker for cranberries/craisins in salads anyway). Large enough portion to share as an appetizer. We also tried the Garlic Bread, which was different from any garlic bread I'm used to. More like a flatbread but incredible flavor regardless. Wish I'd saved some to dip in my pasta. Solid Calamari too, not greasy at all! The Fruiti di Mare was definitely the best entree at our table. The sauce, the tender seafood, the black squid ink noodles--every component of this dish was INCREDIBLE!!!! My sister's Gulf Octopus was a close second, but this pasta, man... unreal. We finished the night with some desserts. They'd ran out of Creme Brûlée, but offered a special Carrot Cake that hadn't been on the menu. Very good cake, but I was more impressed by my dad's Swiss Style Chocolate Mousse. That blew me away! I should've ordered one for myself instead, but still no regrets about anything I tried. Service was patient and attentive and very kind. Overall a great experience at Guido's and i cannot wait to visit again. I could rave about this restaurant all day, but you'll just have to trust me and see for yourself. If you're in Cozumel or plan to be anytime soon, be sure to check out Guido's. Thank you Guido's for such a fantastic meal! read more

I would like to give this 4 1/2 stars but I don't know how to do a half a star. The food was delicious. The wait staff is super attentive. I wish the ceiling fans were not going so fast because it really cools off all the food. Also, the portion sizes for the desserts are very small, so you might want to skip dessert. read more
