An Italian restaurant on the Tulum beach road that has been a celebrated institution since 2011. House-made pasta, wood-fired pizzas, and fresh Italian-Yucatecan cooking in a candlelit palapa setting. The finest non-Mexican meal in Tulum for visitors who want a break from tacos and ceviche. Book ahead; one of the area's most reliable year-round restaurants.
Why It Belongs on the List
Posada Margherita is the rare Tulum institution that has maintained its quality for over a decade — house-made pasta, wood-fired pizza, and a kitchen that merges Italian technique with Yucatecan ingredients. The candlelit palapa setting on the beach road is romantic without being overwrought. The wine list is stronger than expected. Reservations are recommended, especially in high season.
