We went specifically for the Santa baby bar experience & it did not disappoint!! The food & drinks were just okay though, its bar food & if you go during the Santa baby bar time it’s gonna be very busy which means you aren’t going to get the best food & service but it’s such a cool experience!

The food was delicious. If you choose a dish that requires table service you are in for a treat. The wait staff is attentive and answer questions in detail. I recommend this establishment as it is quite an experience and offers options not found in other Italian restaurants. The ambience is nice for a restaurant located on the second level of an Italian grocery store.

Delicious pizza. The roman style crust is perfectly made - big air bubbles, crispy yet chewy. The truffle cream on the Fat Guy pizza is so flavorful. The cocktails are great too. Taste of Tulum is well balanced - sweet, bitter, tangy and smokey. Love this place!
