Such a cute hole in the wall "discovery" we experienced! The pizza and pastas are made fresh in house and the view is fantastic of the beach and ocean. You can sit outside or in. The restaurant is also a hotel and the rooms are all unique and so cute. They also have "shops" inside and it's a must experience kind of place. They have their dogs roaming free and they are so friendly and cute. It is a cash only place but will take zelle or USD. Service was great and we are so glad to have discovered it. Don't forget to order their house made gelato!!!
Review of gelato only! I've been curious about this place for so many years and finally popped in! They dish up all things Italian, but I just grabbed a quick sweet treat: passion fruit and pistachio gelato. So creamy and flavorful! Gelato was cheap, but they are **cash only!** The grounds felt like secret gardens, all decorated with antiques and tropical foliage. Taking notes for my future home.
This place was absolutely breathtaking!!!! The views I had while enjoying my breakfast was like a scene from a movie!!! Upon entering this spot from the street I had no idea that it was going to open up to the beach the way it did. While walking through the lush garden area there was so much to look at. The wait staff was very friendly and spoke some English and even made recommendations for us to try. My margarita was sooooooo good (seriously does Mexico even do bad margaritas?? lol). And I got a kick out of my meal, Egg in a Hole. It was very delicious and filling. My friend and I actually ended up staying here all day and found ourselves in one of the covered cabanas located in front on the beach. It really doesn't get any better than this!!! We met some amazing people also hanging out on the beach and took long walks down by the water once the sun started setting. There was also a cabana not too far offering massages!!! I am so glad we came across this gem, it truly made our trip just that much better!!!!!
What an amazing place. Nestled deep between the road and right at the beach is this authentic Italian restaurant. Had the pasta and a pizza, and both were amazing. An authentic taste of Italy. Had the coffee, and loved the taste. As you might already know, it's hard to find descent coffee in Tulum, but this place makes proper coffee. Liked it so much, that I asked the owner if I can have a cup of whole beans to go. (Needless to say, I'm a bit of a coffee snob myself). The owner graciously obliged, and gave me a lesson in traditional Italian coffee making. Do yourself a favor and check this place out. The food and the ambiance are an experience!
This place is an absolute gem. We came here three times on our Tulum vacation. The food is amazing, we have a few pizzas and the shrimp spaghetti, which was phenomenal. The ambiance in the place is always great, there are caravels to sit at, or if you feel like, outdoor beds to sit and eat on. The inside of the establishment looks like some secret garden, it's absolutely gorgeous. Would 100% recommend to anyone who comes to Tulum.
Omg, omg, omg! The shrimp pasta was everything my heart could've desired. A perfect combo of dough, olive oil, spices, and fresh shrimp. I was in plain heaven. Husband order the pizza with Burrata, olives and capers, and I've never had anything this flavorful. Loved it!!!! The drinks were so refeshing! Absolutely delicious food! The ambiance was super cute! We sat by the beach, made the experience worthwhile! The service was very good, the servers were on top if it and very friendly. Only thing I would reduce a start for is the price, we ordered 2 entrees and 2 drinks and our bill was around $100. Not sure if its worth for a lunch but it is Tulum afterall. We thoroughly enjoyed our meal and experience!
This place is hands down the most beautiful and delicious hidden gem in Tulum. We loved it so much that we came back at 7am on our last morning to enjoy it one last time. The food and service is top notch. They even have day beds you can relax in at no extra cost. I absolutely loved it and cannot wait to go back! I cannot recommend it enough.

Delish food! Amazing views! Perfect Decor! Service - Slow, for a person such as myself who doesn't really know how to relax and is going, going, going the service time in Tulum is something I can't really seem to get used to. It's soooo slow, everywhere. Sit down, and wait, and wait some more, and wait some more. The food was lovely, very nicely done. We shared the tomato and burrata salad. So fresh and so tasty! I could have probably stopped right there. I haven't had dairy in quite some time so I'm fairly certain I'm still paying for enjoying such an indulgence. The pasta, fantastic! Yet, I haven't had gluten in quite some time either, so ouch! I eat pasta on occasion but it's gluten free which this surely is not. The bread tray accomanied with fresh parm and cold cauliflower salad was superb! It's been awhile since I've had any sort of bread other than buckwheat so I'll say this meal is really quite nice if your digestive track is used to having gluten and dairy. The tirimusu was very light and a perfect ending to our lunch, the portion size was small but a nice sweet treat for three of us to share a few bites of. Our drink order took a very long time to come out (I think it finally arrived when our entrees came out so we were pretty thirsty while waiting for these and had to ask several times for them). Upon receiving our bill an extra drink was on the order. You'll have to pay for water everywhere in Mexico, be prepared for that. They removed it when we brought it to their attention. Our meal was $95 USD for two pastas, a side of mushrooms, one burrata salad, 2 cocktails, 1 flat bottled water and a dessert. I suppose it's not the sort of lunch you'd go to every day but it's surely a nice option while vacationing (again, if you can handle having dairy and gluten), otherwise stick with ordering veggies. Those were delish too ;) read more

If you think eating a pasta dish with lobster on a coffee table is awkward...imagine trying to split that pasta dish with lobster between you and your girlfriend on a coffee table. So naturally we ask if they can separate the dish out in the kitchen. They said no. I figure this is a nice place, the prices are high, so I'm gonna talk to a few different people just to see if the answer will change...nope! They told us it's complicated to split and that they don't want to give the kitchen any extra instructions. Never mind that the first thing they tell you when you sit down is that the menu's been the same for 20 years! So imagine my surprise when the dish comes and the lobster is literally in two separate pieces and it takes us 10 seconds to split it between the two of us. Because it's on a coffee table we are now covered in pasta sauce. Also the plates they gave us to split this lobster were smaller than the actual lobster. Then they forgot our fish dish, then they ignored us when we asked them to pack up the leftovers. And I've been sitting here for about 15 minutes writing a Yelp review while waiting for a dessert menu. The party next to us arrived after we ordered, got their food before us, had dessert, Took a bunch of photos and left before we finished eating. Cute place, loved breakfast here, but the service left me feeling exhausted. It's as if they were teaching us lesson for asking them to separate pasta. Oh, and I agree with everyone else here the food just is not worth the price... We got the lemon fish, the sauce was great, and we got the zucchini pasta with lobster... Someone in our party got the mushroom fish which I just felt was a little too fishy and umami. The pistachio gelato was very pistachio-ee The tiramisu was not that good. read more

Hands down one of the best Italian meals I've ever had !! The ambiance, the service , the food was all 5 star. The bread they give you in the beginning is so fresh , onion focaccia is to die for. They make the pasta from scratch once you order it! The menu has been the same for over 20 years. It's printed in Italian so your waiter reads and explains everything to you. I wish this restaurant was in Cali so I could stalk them read more

My whole family, including my 8 year-old son, loves this place! When I think of Tulum (super-tranquilo, a place to really breathe and decompress, with great food, and great vibes, I immediately think of Posada Margherita! Whether you go for breakfast and have amazing bloody Mary's (with clothes-pinned fruit on the mason jar),freshly squeezed juice concoctions,and delicious omelettes and French toast; or for dinner with candle-lit ambiance, great wines, and world-class pasta, you will be pleased! read more

Hip restaurant by the beach serving a unique version of Italian fusion food. This is a rustic intersection of Mexican island life and a haven for instagrammers and bloggers. You have the picturesque backdrop of the ocean mixed with the very faux-shabby decor. The staff here are all very nice and accommodating and can recommend great dishes. Pasta made in house and you can tell in each bite. We had to go with seafood and had their lobster pasta which features a huge prawn sliced in half and topped with spinach pasta. This was very good as was their tomato based pasta. Yes it is pricer than most places but I think their execution is folded into the price. If you want to mix it up and are in the area then Posada Margherita is worth a try. read more

Excellent food and service! Our vegetarian pasta was delicious and the flavours were spot on. The bread basket was fresh, had different toppings and went perfectly with our pasta. The servers were helpful and friendly. Our favourite part were the day beds and the swing-bed on the beach!! This was one of our favourite spots on the Tulum Beach Strip!! read more

Super cute ambience and decor. Food was solid (especially if wanting pizza in Mexico.- don't expect nyc pizza taste and price), a tad over priced, and service was very slow. Everything is extremely fresh though! We ordered the Margherita pizza, grilled shrimp and the green juice (juices are delicious, fresh and great value for the price - we split one). read more

One of the cutest places I've been in Tulum. Y We sat on the beach with our toes in the sand and looking at the moon, very romantic spot! The service was great! It was little inconvenient that the payment was only cash, and they didn't have an ATM on the property. The food was good, but not the best. The burrata salad was my favorite. I had the mushroom broccoli pasta I liked it a lot and my boyfriend had the pomodoro pasta. It was just ok. read more
I've been here three times between 2015 and now and the restaurant continues to impress and delight me. After eating 10 days worth of Mexican food across the Yucatán, fresh pasta was exactly the variety I was looking for. Posada Margherita makes fresh pasta and bread, as well as grilled prawn dishes. Their dishes are simple and delicious and served in a beautifully decorated restaurant that opens to the bright turquoise ocean. Try to get one of the coffee tables with the couch seating--you'll be closest to the sea but still under the shade of the building. Tulum has a lot of food options but I kept coming back to this one because 1) the open view to the beach cannot be beat, 2) you can spend the rest of the day lounging on their beach chairs and beds after you eat there, 3) fresh pasta tastes even better when you pair it with a freshly squeezed fruit juice and 4) the free bread platter you get with each meal is out of this world! read more

$21 for a small pizza that isn't generous with toppings. Cash only. Two small pizzas with very little topping and 1 beer cost $50. Not worth it. read more

Posada Margherita came HIGHLY recommend by many friends. I was very exited to enjoy some Italian cuisine on the beach in Tulum. The staff was very nice and attentive. Unfortunately, the food was nearing a 1 star. The focaccia that they give each table was the best/only enjoyable food we ate. We had fettuccine in a red sauce, which tasted like a sweet pizza sauce from a jar. We also had the grouper, which smelled and tasted very fishy. The table next to us made many verbal complaints to the staff about how the food was all terrible and in previous visits it was much better. Very disappointing considering we were only in Tulum a few days and could've had a much better meal anywhere else. read more

This is our favorite spot in Tulum, by far. The staff is knowledgeable and very friendly. The wine list is superb and the food is the best Italian food I have had outside of Italy. The ambiance is rustic and beautifully captures the vibe of Tulum and an authentic Mexican boutique atmosphere. Truly beautiful. Perfect view of the beach and quaint. The breakfast menu is also something to enjoy. Fresh breads, egg dishes, fruit, fresh pressed juices and delicious coffee. The boutique has lovely gifts for your friends back home and an ATM on site. read more

This place is a must! I am visiting from the US and I had such a great experience. The drinks were great, the food was great, the place was beautiful and the service was amazing. I loved how personable and down to earth the staff was. And as a plus, we got to pet the dog and cat that roam the restaurant. It was such a beautiful time. read more

Shabby chic meets Riveria Maya beach style! If I could sum up Posada Margherita in one word: it would be ADORABLE. From the moment you set eyes on the rustic and charming exterior, you'll walk through a medley of plants, candles, flowers, large jars, vintage objects, wooden benches and chairs: it is a delightful feast for the eyes! It truly feels like you're walking through the cutest little village and then you'll come upon the little gelateria and restaurant: it's cash only. We came here after a phenomenal dinner at Kitchen Table and wanted to grab some gelato $75 (for a very large scoop) and enjoy our gelato on the beach. We sat on the large bed swing and watched the full moon while eating our gelato. Posada also serves excellent breakfast (the omelet is the standout and ask them to add Parmesan cheese to it). Here's a little secret: during the daytime the cabana's are first come first serve and are available starting at 7am. They are FREE so no minimum food buy or beach pass is required however I would highly suggest purchasing some drinks and food. You'll be required to get something. If you want to stay All day, then keep the drinks and food flowing: that's just common courtesy. Since it is now peak season, the cabanas fill up Fast so get there as early as you can. The adorable cabanas are modeled after charming beach homes: so cute. read more

Beautiful spot and atmosphere. Food was decent, shrimp was a little overcooked but amazing flavor (the white wine sauce). Food is overpriced but all in all it makes up for the amazing ambient. I would definitely go back (which I am this coming week). Please note this place is cash only, or you can do a Zelle transfer. read more

Absolutely Devine experience. the sound of soft music mixed with ocean waves in a dim beach setting. Your dinner starts with complimentary artisan bread, pickled veggies, cheese and olives. They have an extensive selection of wines with a simple menu of pasta and protein dishes. The pasta is homemade melting in your mouth with seafood that taste as if it jumped from the ocean directly to your entree. The bill can only be paid in cash and MAKE sure to have pesos for payment. My only complaint is the lack of integrity of the actual bill. The exchange rate is marked high so if you don't have Pesos they'll charge you an additional 25% in any other currency. The waiters are not bilingual except for hello and the menu items which leaves some room for confusion with any additional request. Entree are $20 - $30 & appetizers $8 - $15. Have a conversion calculator. read more
