Ok, this has to be the best new restaurant in Tulum and i heard its here to stay, ok, first of all its a family buisiness, Linda and Luca and their beautiful mexican- italian dougther Selvaggia are the owners, they are always there with the greatest attitude to give you recomendations and explain the menu. The menu is very basic yet very chic, a foodie can appreciate that. Luca, the chef makes his own pasta, the sea food cant be more fresh and beautiful, the lobster, mussles, calamari , OMG and Linda makes THE BEST cocktails in Tulum , hands down, i had many bloody maries and my HB had mojitos!! Im sure this family buisiness will quickly beat posada margerita, the long time number one restaurant in Tulum. I dont want to compare them since la vongola is in town and does not have a beach view, but is definately more affordable than posada margerita, and has a nice terrace that overlooks the main avenue. I just cant help to go back every time i can. You have to order taggliatele tudo mar, is goergous!

Top quality Italian restaurant, the food is superb, I had fresh pasta with mussels and clams and my wife had the pasta with prawns. The food was well prepared nice pasta, great sauce making good use of herbs and olive oil; the shellfish were cooked just right. The service was friendly and efficient; reasonably priced for the quality. I would highly recommend if you like good quality Italian food.

Last night we had a lovely evening with our friends Francesca and Roberto at the restaurant La Vongola that is run by Luca (amazing chef ) and our friend Francesca.
The place is very nice and cozy and the location is great.
The main dining room has a comfortable atmosphere, but even the upstairs space is also cosy and welcoming with a nice swimmingpool and a beautiful view of the main street in Tulum.
we had the best home made gnocchi and tagliatelle made by Luca and a squisit margherita pizza made by Gigi.
La Vongola strikes a perfect balance between tasty preparations and simply relying on quality ingredients. I particularly liked the grilled red tuna stake and shrimps.
We ended this delightful evening with the most incredible chocolate cake , also made by Luca,
We particulary enjoy the service by Bruno (a very nice and kind italian guy who was always around taking good care of us)
Great atmosphere and truly excellent food all at the same time. We highly remommend it and .........we can't wait to return!

Just as an upgrade:
This magnificent Italian restaurant was closed for the last two months due to a change of location and now is open again!!, new location over the main Tulum Av. between Beta and Osiris North.
Same excellent service and delicious food in a way better atmosphere!
