    Wow!
    Peter I.

    Another great meal with air conditioning!!!!! Yay Invita! And always great service! House wines are so good, but the wine list is also impressive! Started with splitting a Caesar salad. Followed by the best bread and dipping sauce here. Deb had pre birthday pasta with meatballs and i had the famous chicken piccata! Ended by the chef delivering a nice shot of house made limoncello! The place to be. Note to any holders of the passport card, not accepted at dinner.

    The food is very good in the ambience is lovely overlooking the beautiful park at night. I've tried a few dishes here with them all being very good, but nothing compares to their amazing signature lasagna. The Cabo passport, which gives you two for one deals on many restaurants is only valid here from 2 to 5 PM which is a pretty stupid time to eat on vacation in Mexico.

    This is a great restaurant in Cabo. The service was beyond excellent from the moment we stepped foot in the door. The ambiance was excellent and very chill and laid back. The food and drinks were delicious as well. The sangria and tiramisu were the best that I've ever had.

    The ambience is intimate, warm, and upscale. The service was excellent. The wine, the Ivinta house red, was delicious and the price was fair. We loved the different breads in the bread basket. The Carpaccio Di Terra, the arancini were delicious. The pastas that we tried were good, not great. The Fasolari tasted great, pasta was cooked perfectly, but the clams were so chewy, it was impossible to eat them, I just ate around them. The Penne Al Salmone had a smoky flavor due to the salmon being smoked rather than fresh, it was not what my husband was expecting. Our daughter loved her simple penne pomodoro. We left full and happy. Fewer menu items that are all excellent would be my preference, rather than hit and miss with such a huge menu.

    Amazing spot for a lunch. They can accommodate small groups or larger. The ambiance is fantastic and restaurant is clean. I had the sausage and broccoli pasta it was delicious. My server Diego was attentive and kind and his English is great. I would recommend this place to anyone and I would absolutely come back.

    Italian in Cabo?? You have to try this restaurant. I will go this far as to say it is amongst the top 3 places to eat at in Cabo. The service is impeccable, the Ambiance is really relaxing, and the food is so good!! I will definitely be coming back here again. Best Passion Fruit Margarita I have ever been served. Try it!

    Great Service!!!

    If your looking for a special occasion night out in Cabo or a date night romantic spot this is the place to go! My husband and another couple wanted a nice night out to have dinner before leaving Cabo the following day and we couldn't have made a better choice. The food is absolutely amazing and having a husband who is Italian and is extremely picky about his Italian food is always a struggle but Invita did not disappoint! Upon arriving our sommelier Simon pointed us to a great wine that would pair well with our meal and we loved it! I suggest you ask for his recommendation for your own meal as well. We will definitely be returning to Invita when we come back to Cabo in August!

    The food is amazing. The service is amazing. The only negative was the drinks were expensive. I asked for sparkling water and I got a big bottle instead of a smaller Topo Chico. Not there fault my bad though. I would definitely go back in a heartbeat. Can't wait to got back to Cabo to eat here. Gnocchi is made in house. The spaghetti and meatballs were better then grandmas

    Caesar salad and lovely bread basket.

    This was my last night of a 2 week vacation traveling Baja California Sur. I was craving Italian food and air conditioning so badly. I found the coldest room with the friendliest staff here. The weather has been brutal and this was my respite. When I say everything was perfect I mean it sincerely. A very icy cold Beefeater martini to start accompanied with a complimentary bread basket. So many tasty goodies. I had to contain myself. My first course was a Caesar salad. Originally created in Mexico. Such a classic and with a very anchovy forward dressing. My main course was Fettuccine Bolognese. House made pasta and simply perfect. I had a glass of French Cabernet Sauvignon. And then another. I'm so happy I found this place.

The pizzas were wood fired and the dough was so chewy and airy. The pasta was al dente and the shrimp was so good. The kids loved the cookies too! A short 10 min taxi from the Westin. It is inside the El Merkado food hall so the ambiance is multiple stands of different concepts/styles of cuisine and then tables spread out for seating. Would definitely return!

    First, I would like to say if you are already hungry, DO NOT come here! The wait staff are very…read morekind and friendly but not attentive at all... It is an extremely small space and they'll pass you multiple times without looking your way so you can call them over. We waited almost 15 minutes before ordering then didn't get our drinks for another 15 minutes (bottled water!!?). My boyfriend ended up going to the counter, which was about 12 feet away from us, and asking for it himself. It took about another 10 minutes before our carpaccio came and I was extremely hangry (sorry @ bf). However, after taking my initial bite, I was ALL SMILES! One of the best carpaccio plates I've ever had in my life. I ate most of it (thanks @ bf). Still, we were more than halfway done with the plate before our pastas came. I got the short rib rigatoni -- the short rib was decent but there were maybe 4 chunks in the entire thing (not huge chunks either) and the rigatoni was a level above al dente. I was not a fan, so bf and I switched pastas. The shrimp scampi fettuccini was OK -- there was actually a good amount of shrimp in it! The pasta was also OK, it just didn't feel like any of the sauce absorbed into it. Pasta was definitely on the thicker side. Overall, would not return. Definitely not worth the price. Might have given 1-2 stars if not for the saving grace: carpaccio. Actually, I guess I would return solely for the carpaccio as both my app and main dish. Highly recommend stopping in for that dish as a mid-day snack or what have you.

They have a well diverse menu - seafood, steak, pastas, & more and everything we tried was well executed. The surf and turf platter was the hit of the night. Waiter told us it was good for 4 and it was definitely that, with leftovers. We also tried a pasta pomodero and it was yummy with a little kick. The imperial shrimp are a must get if you like shrimp. These are bacon wrapped, jalapeno stuffed. Yum! I would also highly recommend the tampiquena steak - Mexican style steak with a chile relleno. Best starters were queso fundido (MUST GET!) and the caprese was also very fresh! My one draw back was the temperature, but I know that's hard to fix. We came in August and it was very very hot and muggy. But didn't change our thoughts on the restaurant overall. Just something to note.

While there were fans and a covered dining area, this was no match for the uncomfortable August weather and ubiquitous flies. In the center of the dining area is a beautiful tree, but beware of the birds pooping on your table or worse, your food. To make the best of our situation, Marco and his servers set out table fans and I asked for extra cloth napkins to be placed over our food. Complimentary Bread Rolls with herbed butter Sea & Earth BBQ Ribs Octopus Sea Bass - was not "to die for" as cousin advertised Asparagus Beer Margarita 2 complimentary desserts - cheesecake + gelatin flan over chocolate cake complimentary 5 Perros Tequila shots for everyone While we all enjoyed our food, I wouldn't consider it outstanding and the flies, heat, and humidity made for a miserable experience despite complimentary desserts and Tequila shots. However, service was great and Marco did his best to make the most of our less than stellar experience. Because we had an early 5:30p reservation, we were able to park in front of the restaurant.
