The pasta leaked everywhere, the tart came broken as if the delivery man maybe took a piece? & the steak tartare was a giant mush. Worst part is I specifically asked for utensils and of course it came with none. So I couldn't even really eat my food especially the steak. Please DO BETTER because your food is actually good.

The pizza was good and the bread and oil was delicious. However, I went with a group of four people who had been eating the same things the whole trip. My partner and I ate a salad from this restaurant that nobody else in our group had and we both got violently sick. Looking back, we shouldn't have eaten fresh vegetables in Mexico but at such a nice establishment I guess we figured it would be okay. Do not assume like we did. If you do go here, opt for the pizza, skip the pastas, all we're mediocre and the shrimp was very obviously not fresh.

A laid back wood fired pizza spot with a super cool, relaxed ambience and the friendliest energy. We ordered the pepperoni pizza and honestly I've never had anything like it. It's insanely good. Pair it with their habanero sauce and jalapeños and it is literally fire. Perfectly cooked, bold flavor, unforgettable. We also ordered the Caprese with apples, almonds, and beets and wow. Such a fresh and different take on a salad. Every ingredient tasted so clean and vibrant. My tummy was genuinely happy after this meal, which says a lot. It's not far from where we're staying near Azulik, which made it even better. The vibe is effortless, chill, and welcoming. Bonus points for the two local cats, who are absolutely adorable and add so much charm to the place. The staff is super friendly and welcoming, and the menu has so many choices that there is truly something for everyone. If pizza is your love language and you're anywhere near Tulum, Boccanera is a must visit.

Arrived here around 800p on a Friday night and apparently everyone had the same idea. It is a very…read moresmall restaurant with limited tables for larger parties (they had two small cafe style pushed together for a 7 top when we were there). We put our name on a list, but no phone number was given so really it's a wait for a table or come back type of situation. We ended up leaving and coming back 40 mins later and were sat quickly outside. The pizzas are OUTSTANDING! I think the reviews all say that and it's the truth. The crust is Neapolitan style thinner crust but the flavor is just spot on! The toppings and sauce are well balanced. The roasted chicken was a great addition to the vegetarian. If they made cheese sticks with a marinara sauce with that crust it would be a HUGE seller! The green salad was pretty standard and not much that was memorable or forgettable, just good and as expected. Unfortunately, the bruschetta was a huge let down -- we literally received halved cherry tomatoes on a piece of bread. They served it with olive oil to drizzle, but that did not even come close to what we expected. There are a few cats that roam the outside patio, but they don't bother you much. The staff was welcoming and we had good conversation with the server even for it being 20 mins before they closed.

We were a walk in party of 15 the restaurant was pretty much empty at the time. The only thing is the kitchen is smaller than most so the food did take awhile which makes sense for a party of our size, but they were very accommodating. All the food and drinks were amazing. The pina colada was the only thing that people said was okay because it melted extremely fast and the texture was more icy than smooth and creamy. They had amazing service and we would definitely go back.

The staff is attentive and efficient. Virginia the hostess was absolutely amazing and friendly. Her family has owned the business for decades. Our waiter was Alfredo who was excellent. All the food was well prepared and presented nicely. Everything we had was delicious.
