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.

We had an amazing lunch yesterday! It was so simple and delicious. Caprese salad with the bread plate and the ginger Citrus juice. God it was All so fresh and amazing. Cash only be sure to bring lots of cash. It was a bit pricey but delicious. I believe the owner is Italian. read more

My favorite place in Tulum. The vibe here is so relaxed and chill compared to the ridiculous crazy restaurants here. The food is excellent. The pizzas are so good as are the pastas. You can not go wrong going here. They only take cash so make sure to have that before coming here. read more

I pay homage to Justin L. who nailed it with his recent review. Thanks for the honest, articulate review. I'd rather read some truth than some happy fluff that doesn't inform me. Pity I'd already been to the place though, long before Justin. You can read my reviews and see I rarely trash a business, because I generally respect that livelihoods are at stake. Strap yourself in dear readers, and proceed with caution. At PM I was particularly off-put by the entire experience at this restaurant, even though I was mellowed by a week at Riviera Maya being treated with respect. First of all, we had to wait forever just to order. They didn't have a menu, so we had to wait for a European stoner dude to finish his bong session out the back somewhere to come and tell us what was available. When he finally arrived with his bloodshot eyes, he basically told us what we were going to order. He's damn lucky I didn't want to raise my blood pressure by telling him what I was thinking. We should have left then, and regretted not doing so. Somehow, they think its all about them. I liked the view, but the same view is free by walking out onto the beautiful beach. The place is hugely overpriced, and the food wasn't that great. It's just pasta for God's sake. The wine prices were ridiculous for rural Mexico. Why bother with tablecloths - its extra work to wash them, right? We don't need comfortable chairs, cause this is Mexico, right? Hang loose on the wooden benches people! It's all good. I can't comment on the service because they didn't have any. It was ultra casual and the staff were having a great time at a snail's pace. Point is - this wasn't a fraternity backyard BBQ. It was supposed to be a restaurant. If I want pretension, I'll go to Beverly Hills. At least there they'll call me sir when they siphon my money. read more

This is an interesting place, and it took me two visits to understand it. The space is REALLY cool, and walking into it from the street side feels a little like wandering into a folk tale. Service is good, and they have an interesting wine list (I had an excellent montepulciano). Now, the food. Every order (at least for dinner) comes with a truly excellent focaccia, cauliflower, and cheese tray. I'd eat that any day. Their tomato and burrata salad is also really delicious, and highly recommended. The pastas, on the other hand... it's not that they're not good. They ARE. They're just really, really simple. This is the kind of food I'd expect to find down a side street in a small town in Italy, where they have a tiny menu with things like pasta in tomato sauce, or pasta with local shrimp. It's just that in that tiny restaurant, this food would be inexpensive, and here it's priced for Tulum. I've been fortunate enough to live in places where, if I pay upward of $25 (USD) for a plate of pasta, it's some inventive take on Italian cuisine, often with really interesting, delicious flavors. Posada charges that much for a plate of pasta with vegetables and almost no other flavors. If this sounds exactly like your sort of thing -- go here, and you won't regret it. But if you already have access to genuine, good Italian food, you wouldn't be missing out if you chose to opt for a more reasonably priced option. Or come here for the salad and the bread, which are worth the visit by themselves. read more

Oh boy, where do I start? I miss Tulum. Everything about it is awesome. The food....well, let's start with Posada! This restaurant came highly recommended by many friends and even people we met on our trip! If you've eaten too much Mexican food and want a change in your tasting palette, this is the place for you! It's the cutest place ever. The walk into the restaurant is an Instagram photo waiting to be taken. I kid you not. As for the food, they brought out a complimentary assortment of bread and cheeses. Almost ate everything because I was starving. We decided to order a seafood dish, pasta and caprese salad so we could all try a little bit of different dishes. Take a look at my picture! The shrimp was fresh and drenched in white wine. And don't get me started on the pasta....that was to die for. The caprese was a dairy dream come true! We all got a juice on the side. The watermelon is a must! My mister got a beet one and that didn't taste as good as it looked. All in all. A+++ for the food. And who wouldn't want to eat at a place with a beautiful view of the white sands and crystal blue waters? Downside is that they don't accept credit cards, so you will need USD or pesos. The ATM's only dispense USD, so plan accordingly! read more

If I could give this place 10 stars I would. OH. MY. GOSH. The front is more like a pizza shop and the restaurant is towards the back by the beach. The ambiance is beautiful! You can dine on the beach or different types of seating (table, couch, etc.) The pasta was absolutely AMAZING! And came with a mini jar of fresh parmesan (who doesn't love that!) The menu is pretty simple but everything is fantastic. We were greeted with a great selection of bread (which kind of taste like pizza) YUM. Their drinks were delicious also. If I stayed longer I would have definitely gone back to try their pizza because I cleaned my plate for dinner! read more

Was referred by friend. Difficult to find a spot in Tulum because of lack of parking. This place has parking for 50 pesos across the street. The ambiance is relaxed and eclectic. Right on the beach...beautiful view as you eat. The food was incredible!!! I had a jumbo shrimp dish...just grilled with a side of salad and rice. The best shrimp I have ever had. My husband had a mushroom and broccoli pasta dish that was fabulous. Their pasta is freshly made..and you can tell. Will be back. Would recommend this to anyone who wants great food, great service and incredible atmosphere. read more

Best. Food. Ever. I visited a few months ago and have been meaning to leave a review ever since because I want anyone who visits Tulum know that this is a must-do! It's unexpected that Tulum, Mexico would have an amazing Italian place, but it sure does. This place has homemade pasta that is to die for, along with an amazing romantic beach atmosphere. We also got a cheese plate as an appetizer that I never wanted to end. Pretty sure I left this place 10 pounds heavy than when I arrived, but I don't regret a thing. Loved it! Adorable read more

LOVE - atmosphere and food were beautiful- perfect combination of romantic and fun! We loved how they had a smaller menu and really focused on the best Italian dishes! We are not big meat eaters so having a healthy pescatarian menu was great!! The service was the best in tulum u can tell everyone is loving their job and has a very happy vibe! We had drinks called the mark Dillion which were so good! Even went shopping at the cute little shop at the entrance and found some nice gifts for myself! Highly recommend for couples, girls nights or even groups as there was plenty of room and private little nooks for groups! read more

The next time I am back in Tulum I will be back to eat here. Not only that, but quite possibly stay at the Posada Margherita Hotel. This place had such a neat vibe! It's on the beach and was so adorable! The reason I am not giving Posada 5 stars is because they do not accept credit card. This was a huge pain. Not because we had to walk to the ATM, but because at times this area is a tourist trap and most ATMs in the area only dispensed US dollars with a huge fee, or the ATMs were out of service. The food. Delicious!!! I had one of the most amazing pasta dishes that I have had in a long time. I also had a tequila mule and that was awesome! They also give the table a huge bread basket with many different types bread, olive oil and vinegar, salt and pepper, and fresh Parmesan cheese. A huge too when going to Tulum - get cash (Mexican pesos) out at the airport ATM and get plenty. It's the best rate and lots of places in Tulum only accept cash (both US dollars and Mexican pesos). Pesos being a better deal, of course! Posada Margherita...ill be back :) read more

SO good we ate here twice for dinner & we were only in Tulum for 4 nights! The menu only has a select few items - a few pastas, a few seafood/shrimp dishes & a couple salads. We chose the marinara pasta dish the first night which was amazingly fresh. The pasta is homemade and super freshly made in their kitchen. You get a complimentary bread/cheese/veggie basket as well. The breads have amazing spices, dried tomatoes & onions on top and are mouth watering. The second time we went, we chose the shrimp pasta dish. Linguini was the type of pasta and I preferred it to the Penne pasta. Price wise: id say it's about equal to a nicer Italian restaurant in the states but every penny was worth it. They don't take credit card (along with most places in Tulum) so bring cash! I'll be dreaming of Pasada for months onward. read more

Delicious and amazing place for lunch!! Great fresh food with a beautiful view. We went to Posada Margherita because it was recommended to us by several people and our hotel. We ordered the fresh fish, the most popular pasta dish, and the vegetarian pasta. All of the food was amazing and so fresh. For drinks we had the watermelon juice, Rose, and some fun margaritas. All of it was very amazing - probably one of the best meals so far in Tulum. The French owner (I think) was so kind and the staff was very sociable as well! The restaurant is also so beautiful and we will definitely be coming back to try their pizza on the beach. Highly recommend for anyone in Tulum looking for a great lunch!! read more

Possibly my favorite meal in Tulum (but I am biased because I love pasta a little too much). A pretty little spot just like every restaurant in Tulum. We went at night for dinner, but I imagine it would be quite nice during the day since it's right by the ocean. :) Even at night, it was nice to listen to the waves. :) Also! The long entryway to the restaurant is beautiful! So much green. Love it. The food is great. Handmade pasta is always a treat. The complimentary bread is amazing (haha), and they give you so much! I had a seafood pasta dish, which was delicious. I got it with lobster, but I don't think it was worth the extra money; the lobster was a bit over-cooked and rubbery. The actual pasta and seafood; however, was awesome. The drinks were great too. :) Highly recommend this place! read more

We had researched this Tulum locale pre-trip, and I can comfortably say our dining experience met our lofty expectations. This Italian-cuisine, beach hideaway boasts romantic charm, without feeling too exclusive. All courses of our dinner were stellar. The burrrata salad (enough for two) was addictive - my GF and I read each other's expression and immediately agreed! We also opted to split a fettuccini/tomato basil dish and a grilled shrimp (giant, prawn-like) plate, served in a tasty brandy sauce. There's nothing better than indulging in both fresh catch seafood and pasta, made in-house. With each bite, you could taste the quality of ingredients and savor the variety of local flavors. Dessert didn't disappoint either, with two small jars of chocolate mousse and pistachio gelato spoonfully devoured in a few short minutes. Solid five star dinner in Tulum! read more

The pasta might be good but this place should be cited for scamming customers who don't pay in pesos. Their exchange rate is abysmal...and it's cash only. They have an in-house ATM machine that charges $7.95 USD per transaction...yes, you read that right. Also the ATM ONLY dispenses USD...so they kinda corner patrons into no other choice. Had we gone solo, sure pesos would have been used, but places like this need to be pointed out so they can change their ways and be fair to their customers. Our group couldn't find a peso ATM close by so we were forced right into their scammy claws. Our group of 10+ spent well over $1000 USD, and they still stonewalled us to pay more due to their terrible exchange rate since some of us had to get extra cash to cover this madness. SHAME ON YOU. A big ol' bucket of shame. Definitely won't be coming back here again...couldn't care less if your pasta is good. read more

Quaint romantic Italian restaurant. One of the cutest entrances I have ever seen. My husband and I sat right on the beach, and we both ordered homemade pasta dishes.

Absolutely loved it!! read more

We actually came here twice specifically for the pasta. Oh and their free basket of breads!!! The bread to go with olive oil and balsamic were soooo good. So much variety. The service was hands down amazing. Super friendly and attentive staff. It's located in front of a beach front, so perfect for pictures and that romantic scene if that's what you're looking for.

Visited Posada Margherita for lunch and was very satisfied! The restaurant is right off the beach and is beautiful! For drinks, we ordered the sunny, pink flamingo, and the sweety (blended juices). All the juices were tasty and refreshing... especially since it is so hot in Tulum! From the menu, we ordered the al gamberi e zucchini and the acqua pazza. The Zucchini pasta was unique and delicious! I loved everything about the pasta from the taste and texture. The acqua pazza (fish) was cooked perfectly and I liked that it came with some rice and a small salad. Overall my experience at Posada Margherita was pleasant. Our server was attentive and informative of the menu. I would come back again for the zucchini pasta. read more

On our first evening in Tulum, we decided to dine spontaneously. Posada was a short walk from our hotel and came highly recommended. We walked along the shore until we were on the backside of the restaurant. The sun had just set, so it made for the perfect dinner setting. Like most places in Tulum, the restaurant had dim lighting with an added glow from candles and string lights. I am a sucker for ambiance and romantic vibes. Once seated, we ordered wine and munched on the complimentary bread. Soo good! I ordered Al Broccoli E Funghi (pasta with tomato sauce, mushrooms, and pinenuts) for my entree. It was most enjoyable! Fresh and flavorful! Great start to our week in Tulum! read more
