“ Amazing place, It’s not a hole in the wall but it’s not an overwhelming stuffy dark place either. Its open atmosphere is fresh and modern while the food is traditional Italian done to the style of the proprietor Pietro. What a cool guy that serves up excellent food and spirits. Highly recommend it if you enjoy food and beverages. ”
“ We annually visit Cabo and make it a point to go to Trattoria Da.Pietra every trip. The food is consistently excellent, service is very attentive, and we always seem to find something on their wine list that's to our liking. It's not on the beaten tourist path, but well worth finding. ”
“ This was actually at the steak place which is a few doors down from the trattoria however since Google is missing the place I am adding it here for now. Awesome place and reasonably priced. They do charge for water in case you care but they are good ones. ”
“ Everything was wonderful! The service was excellent. I ordered the charcuterie board for starters, and it was refreshing to get fresh olives on the board. The short rib ravioli with the mushroom cream sauce was ridiculous! My wife enjoyed her spaghetti dish, and while we were warned, it was very spicy, it was just the right amount of spice. Whenever I'm back in Cabo, this is my go-to spot for delicious hand-made pasta, excellent cocktails, and amazing charcuterie. ”
“ Great Food, Service, and Conversation Trattoria Da Pietro takes me back to our vacations in Italy. Where the best restaurants are located in the neighborhoods with produce coming from the local market and typically close to or adjoined to a deli. Trattoria Da Pietro is no different, nestled on the edge of a growing neighborhood, Pietro has captured the essence of Italy. The food brings all the taste of Italy while infused with flavors from the Baja. The community and tourists, who chose to step away from their resorts, enjoy a spectacular meal, and waitstaff who assist to make sure you enjoy your selection. Music is background, not the forefront. You can sit and hear conversations taking place at each table, staff engaging to assure patrons are taken care of. While Pietro strolls through the restaurant not interrupting, assisting staff where needed, wether it be with food delivery or clearing a table to prepare the patron for their next serving. Stopping briefly to participate in the conversations when invited. We have been following Pietro ‘s restaurants throughout the Cabo area since his arrival. This year was no exception. We went twice once as a couple the second time with close friends. Trattoria Da Pietro by far surpasses his former restaurants. It truly deserves to bare his name. ”
“ One of the best impulse decisions I've made. As an Italian, it was that point on every trip where homesickness and the desire for a meal reminiscent of home overtakes you. Last minute, we switched our reservation from seafood to Pietro's, and I couldn't be more glad. The food was incredible, the staff was incredibly friendly, and Pietro really works hard to take care of customers. He personally greeted/talked to most of the tables. The ambiance is very well done as well. Tasteful, great live music. Onto the food itself: The burrata was a touch cold when served, but lovely and creamy after a few minutes, and the cherry tomatoes were very high quality. The gnocchi are a must. Large, soft potato pillows in expertly cooked sauce. As for dessert, the tiramisu was proper, but the panna cotta was a highlight for me. The contrast of acid in the sauce and creaminess of the panna was lovely. The selection of Italian wines is truly incredible and I encourage you to go off the beaten path. Get something different than you typically do. The espresso was quite literally my only complaint, as it was a little overextracted, but honestly still the best one I had in cabo. Overall, I highly recommend this place, it'd be good italian food even in Verona, so finding it in Mexico was lovely. ”
“ Finally, a 100% true Italian restaurant in Cabo San Lucas! Pietro has been a pillar in the Italian community here for years, and now it’s his time to shine! Everything from the service, cocktails, wine, atmosphere, and food are absolute perfection. We started with the burrata caprese, I had the mussels with sausage, and my husband had the short rib with a side of penne. Delicious! Located in Plaza Novva, right behind costco on the street level in the right corner ”
“ This was our first time in Cabo. My brother and Sister In Law suggested all of us go here for dinner. The restaurant was quiet and tastefully arranged with guitarist singing soft great music. The cream of spinach soup was amazing, followed up with fillet mignon with gargonzola cream sauce accompanied with asparagus and seasoned potatoes. The main course was simply one of the best meals my wife and I have ever had. The restaurant is not in the tourist area of Cabo but well worth the trip. We ate at another top end Italian restaurant downtown that wasn't even in the same class as Trattoria Da Pietro. If you want to be spoiled with a great dinner and treated by a very attentive staff, this is the place to go. ”
