We stopped by this restaurant after a long day at the beach and the ruins. We had the vegetarian pizza, focaccia and some deserts and thought it was great. The owners were helpful with the menu and made us feel welcome. We have enjoyed the local Mexican cuisine, but this was a nice break from it...my stomach has been a... More

I love pizza, everywhere i go i like to try local pizzas. In Tulum i found il basílico and everything was great! Pizza Margarita and a cold beer is a great option in this place. You feel like home when the owners made the sugestions for the best pizzas, it doesnt get better than that! I truly recomend il basílico.

I ordered the Penne al Tono (tuna with penne) and I'm 100% sure the tuna was from a can!!!!!!! the ham on the pizza was bologna-probably Oscar Mayer! The service was not good and the Italian owners just sit there drinking wine and smoking. a ridiculous excuse for a restaurant

This place doesn't get raved about as much as other Italian restaurants in Tulum but we thought it was delicious. And the house white wine is lovely too.

Outstanding pizzas! Service was great as we were the only ones at the restaurant. It would have been nice to have live music as it was a Saturday night and it missed atmosphere compared to surrounding restaurants. Try the vegetarian pizza. Highly recommended!

We have always come to get a pizza at least once during our stay in Tulum and this year was no exception. Well made thin crust pizza accompanied by cold beer. The after dinner espresso was not that bad either. Highly recommend it if you are looking for a break from Mexican food.

The only pizzas I've had even close to this authentic was in Philly and New York. They even have several white pizzas on the menu. We just ducked in one hot afternoon for a quick bite and a beer while strolling the town and very pleasantly surprised to find such high caliber Italian. They must have a 1000 degree oven... More

We enjoyed our meal here. Perhaps a little pricey but on par with the rest of the restaurants we tried that cater to tourists. Service was excellent and and pasta delicious. Cute decor. We would return.
