Ambiance of this restaurant is very lovely and the music was beautiful. Very notable customer service but they had given us a completely wrong order and immediately replaced it. However for the price, the dishes were underwhelming and only really satiates hunger. Pesto was on the oily side and lacked richness. The Carpaccio Di Filetto and the shrimp pasta was tasty. Canasta de Pan was complimentary with olive oil and balsamic which was nice. You come here for exceptional flavors but find yourself paying for overpriced food that definitely taste better elsewhere.
We ate at Tramonto one night as a nicer dinner option during our stay at Vidanta. We enjoyed our meal, beginning with wine and the grilled vegetable salad (came with a red pepper flake vinaigrette that was amazing!). For the main course, we both ordered the fire pasta with chicken. It was a really cool experience. They bring a giant wheel of cheese, light some vodka on fire, and make it all right in front of your table. So basically cheesy vodka noodles with chicken, but so good!! As Italian food lovers, we opted for after-dinner cappuccinos and cannolis. Their "cannolis" are just filled with different flavored ice creams. A hazelnut, chocolate, and pistachio. Not real cannolis at all sadly. We did see someone else order the tiramisu though, and that looked amazing! I would opt for that over the cannolis. When we got our bill, we were so disappointed to see that we had been charged $11 USD for a fancy bottle of still water, and we noticed all of the other tables had regular bottles. We didn't make a fuss about it, but our server had just asked "still or sparkling?", not "cheap still, expensive still, or sparkling?". $11 for water is ridiculous. The night we came, there was also live music that added to the ambiance, which was nice. But between the fake cannolis and $11 water, I wasn't impressed overall.
I came to Tramonto with my family for dinner during our stay at Riviera Maya. Admittedly, we were hesitant to go to an Italian restaurant in Mexico - would Italian food really be good in Mexico?! But we were starving and decided to give it a try. Our waiter was super nice and patient with us, explaining the various options. They gave us a huge amount of free bread - we literally had to stop eating it so we'd still have room for the main. I ordered the "pasta on fire". The waiter literally pushed a cart to our table and made the dish right then and there. The dish features a mix of vodka and Alfredo cooked in a giant wheel of cheese that lights ON FIRE. very very cool. It also came with chicken breast which most of the other options didn't unless you paid 110? pesos extra on top of the already high prices (mid 20s) for your choice of pasta with a sauce. The pasta on fire was around 23 USD I believe. At the end we ordered 2 desserts: cannolis with ice cream filling and a chocolate and caramel one I forgot the name of. They were both super super delicious but the cannolis were AMAZING. So so good , they give you this chocolate sauce to pour on top of 3 different flavored cannolis - a chocolate one, cherry and pistachio one, and a chocolate one with cookie toppings (I don't remember but that one was my favorite haha). Also, unlike a lot of the restaurants in the resort, they had a kids menu which my sister, 10, was super pleased with. The portions were kind of small though. Overall, we enjoyed our meal here!
Every time I visit Vidanta, I make sure to eat at Tramonto. The service and ambiance are outstanding, and the food is delicious as well. I have tried many dishes here, but my favorites are the antipasti appetizer and the mushroom risotto. Pro tip: Make sure to take an outdoor picture outside of the wine bar for the best views!
Tramonto is one of the fine-dining restaurants on the resort and that is very clear as soon as you walk in! They're only open for dinner and I do recommend making a reservation. My wife and I both got the ravioli al funghi porcini and it was easily the best meal we had on the resort. It's thoughtfully presented and the rich flavors meld together nicely. Even the breads in the bread basket were the best we'd had since arriving - the focaccia is especially good. For dessert, we got the cannoli and the iced ferrero and both will raise your expectations for dessert on this resort - both were phenomenal. They also make a mean negroni! The only downside was that the service was pretty slow. Note: if all the menu prices seem inflated, keep in mind a 16% tax and 15% gratuity is already included in EACH menu item's price. :)
Absolutely amazing service. 2nd time back to tramonto and this time was ASTONISHING. our server, Victor, was attentive & polite. He gave us above and beyond service. Food was absolutely amazing and the portion sizes were big. Piccante was on the spicy side so beware, but still very delicious. The four cheese pasta was SO yummy and the salmon was perfectly cooked. Side note: we found our favorite waiter, Alain, now working at Tramonto. We were so delighted to see him after two years and he was still amazing, super happy, and very knowledgeable. He truly made our experience at nektar two years ago & seeing him again made our entire trip! We love you Alain!
We had dinner here the last night of our honeymoon at the resort. Things we loved about it: - the food: we're gluten-free and the server made it easy to work with the chef to craft almost anything on the menu gluten-free including a beautiful and delicious antipasto plate! - the drink cart! Gilberto made a fabulous old fashioned and shared which ingredients he made from scratch - live music - the overall ambiance Things we'd recommend they change: - while we loved having the live music and it was songs we loved too, it was WAY too loud. We were sat at a table near the entrance and almost right next to the musician. We should have asked to move. We could barely hear each other talking. - the lights for the wall art were extremely bright, which made the entire restaurant even brighter and not necessarily the dark, romantic Italian restaurant we had expected Overall, we'd recommend this place and look forward to going back! -
Service is superior, aerials of the evening are mouthwatering, presentation is expert. Tuesday's is prime rib special, not overly advertised. Can't imagine a better place for a great meal, a special date or just want for excellent food. Not rushed, but service is quick. Cooked perfect each dish.
We are here for first time while staying at Grand Mayan in Vitanda resorts. There is an excellent menu with lots of choices. The minestrone soup is excellent. The vegetable salad is unusual and excellent. Veal and shrimp main dishes were very good. Service was superb. It is an attractive restaurant inside with a nice wine bar. It is upscale for the area.
Great night out. Food was delicious and the staff was friendly. The only downside was our table wobbled like crazy, and where we sat there was like a high traffic area of wanderers "checking out" the restaurant. I also wish they enforced the dress code. My husband looked sharp and dressed so nice -yet men were coming in in swim trunks. The food and staff did not disappoint - very well worth it!!
Very good Italian food located in vidanta resorts. We ate here twice and just absolutely loved the bread basket to start. We sampled salads, the minestrone and tomato soups, as well as the 4 cheese pasta and lasagna. All were solid choices and we'll made. Service was excellent. We especially enjoyed the violin player who made our night extra special.

Our waiter was incredibly professional, friendly & efficient. Every food item was delicious! The meatball appetizer, salmon entree and wonderful desserts were highlights! read more
The food: My favorite meal of the vacation. Typically, the fanciest place is not my favorite and Italian is rarely food that I seek out. However, that risotto was amazing and fun. It didn't feel stuffy like fancy Italian can, even down to the whimsical bread plate. My kids split the chicken fettuccine and we had enough food leftover for lunch the next day. The vibe: definitely a fancier restaurant at the resort but the tall windows and lighting keeps things breezy. Great view of the resort and ocean as well. The staff: very attentive and had good recommendations. The various table side demonstrations like the vodka pasta was fun too. read more

I visit Tramonto in Cancun and nueva Vallarta. The food is amazing in both places. Always great service a d such hard working people read more
Well made reservations at this restaurant on open table for out christmas dinner. Place was packed. Ambiance was very nice. The waiter was great and knowledgable. We had drink, apps of calimare, and bruschetta. The brushetta was made with peppers and not tomatoes. The calimare was soggy. We ordered a couple or pasta dishes and chicken parm and saltibuca. At the waiters recommendation. I really wanted the osobuco and was talked out of it by the waiter. I was disappointed. The pastas were all over cooked and took forever. The room quickly filled up with smoke and was hard to breathe. Was really disappointed as this is christmas. The desserts were worse. The cannoli was a tortilla as the shell. Yuck. The raspberry dessert was good. All in all disappointed. read more

Everything about our experience at Tramonto was amazing. The service was probably the best service I have ever received at a restaurant. All of the staff were attentive and genuine. The atmosphere is perfect for a date night or special occasion. The night my boyfriend and I went there was live Cuban music provided. The artist was very talented and made our experience even more enjoyable. Our server Diana was so sweet. Upon arriving to our table we were greeted by a bartender with a traveling bar cart. I had a mint julep and my boyfriend had an old fashioned. Both drinks were great but I would highly recommend the old fashioned! If you are staying at Vidanta resort this restaurant is a must! read more
Best restaurant on the resort. Arrived expecting a Mexican style Italian, was surprised that my expectations were dashed. Excellent center cut steak. Patio dining was excellent if you're a couple looking for a pleasant, more secluded dining experience. The meatballs we're phenomenal and breaded cheese with balsamic tomatoes were fantastic. Wide wine selection. read more

Service is great, as it is all over the property, but the food was nothing to write home about. Especially at this price point. The calimari was a little too fishy and not crispy. By chicken Parm was bland. I liked the bruschetta, which is not traditional in the Italian sense. It's made with roasted peppers and goat cheese. read more

Our first dinner at the resort was here and this place made an impression. I can tell you that we all really enjoyed it here and it was on the top of my list for dinner at the restaurant. We enjoyed the beautiful decor, wonderful and accommodating staff, and amazing food. A lot of the food is very customizable and you can change things or alter things as you need. The bread basket was awesome and an absolutely work of art. We enjoyed pesto gnocchi (not the largest portion and very heavy on the pesto but the gnocchi was delicious and massive), frutti de mare was awesome- great seafood variety and cooked wonderfully. This restaurant is one not to miss at vidanta but be sure to get a reservation so it's easier for you to sit down when you want and not wait! If you have time, go early and check out the wine bar too!! read more

Great service at this upscale, cozy Italian fine dining experience. Ignasso, the somolia recommended a perfect wine, red blend, reasonably priced. While Alenjandro, our waiter, was spot on with service and food recommendations. The special lobster pasta dinner was in a tasty white wine sauce. read more
