Best Italian food near Holbox Island, Quintana Roo, Mexico
Find out what Italian restaurants to try in Holbox Island. Flamingos and pelicans and herons…oh my! Holbox Island is beloved by bird nerds for its population of exotic avian life. Perched near the Yucatan Peninsula, the island is also a hot spot for whale shark viewing, and kiteboarders love the shallow waters and wide beaches. The white sand streets are relatively unspoiled, as most tourists prefer to party it up in nearby Cancun. A splash in Yalahao Lagoon is about as loco as it gets.

Holbox is a little expensive but the pizza here is fairly priced. They have all the normal flavours and daily specials. Just of the main square.

While in Holbox, you have to eat lobster pizza, but I was a bit adverse to pizza thinking there's no way the crust would be very good....boy was I wrong! Definitely go for it, pizza is delicious, crust is a thin, crispy yummy crust, sauce is good, and lobster topping, well, you have to try it!We also ordered quesadillas...the best I ever ate and I make them at home, too, they were even better than that! Molletes were also very good.Even better...this place was open in mid-afternoon (not exactly lunch or dinner time) and in the off season when the tripadvisor #1 rated restaurant was closed...so walk a little further away from the beach after you pass the tripadvisor #1 and you'll find this gem...you won't be disappointed!

We discovered this spot on our second of four trips to Holbox. We have always had the lobster pizza. The power was out at night on our recent visit and the staff just kept calm and carried on. Always great food and enjoyable time!

We ate here twice! The shrimp and the lobster were great! The potatoes/fries were good. The service is good. You really should know Spanish but we managed to ordering using Google translate. (also taking Spanish classes now!) This is a great restaurant that has sidewalk seating that offers some great people watching while you enjoy some really great food.

A creative menu of dishes cooked using the best quality ingredients; Uruguayan beef, the freshest seafood, homemade pasta dishes and thin, crispy pizzas from our woodfired oven.

We wanted somewhere to go for a special dinner and our hotel recommended Parador 33 and we were not disappointed. It's in the grounds of a hotel with a beautiful setting - fairy lights / little pond and feels like you should be in the Far East with it's wooded tables and beautiful scents. We had the special which was out of the world. A generous cut of meat for two that is encased in salt and cooked on the pizza oven! When read the salt is cracked and the beef is as soft as butter - divine! It's a very special place and wonderful helpful staff and you're not rushed at all! A joy - treat yourself! It's a bit more expensive than a lot of the restaurants but if you are celebrating or want to treat yourself - don't hold back!

Had been hoping for pizza with lobster BUT this place is amazing! If in doubt try the free samples by the street. An incredible crust! The waitress was very pleasant and efficient. We ordered a nice bottle of Mintepulciano d'Abruzzo, very reasonably priced. There were several chouces of pizza and sandwiches. We chose 2 basic pizzas and ordered a couple of extra toppings. These are not your traditional round pizzas, more rectangular. Both were hot and perfect! The subsequent cappuccinos and espresso were piping hot. The owner, Tio Pupo checked on us periodically to see that we were satisfied completely. He showed us his appreciation for our business with an after dinner liqueur.

We cale.in the evening for drinks only. We sat on the terrasse which is nice and our order was taken immediatly. Though it took us 20 minutes to get it... Ok meanwhile we got like 10 nachos of bad quality and some industrial mayonaise to dip them in.When we asked for the bill we specified we wanted change to give a proper tip. The waitress brought us back a single 50 pesos bill forcing us to leave her a much bigger tip than deserved the wait.The restaurant was full and you can't make me beleive that no one paid with some coins or some small bills. This attitude is despicable and we won't come back. There are much better place in holbox with live music for example.

Casa Nostra Roof Restaurant is a Mediterranean cuisine restaurant with a hint of Caribe. A pleasant mix of two islander's culinary cultures ( Sicily and Holbox) able to tantalize the most demanding taste buds.
Reviewed By Becca P
The service here is incredible and the experience of being on the roof at sunset was very fun! However the dishes were constantly oversized and very average tasting. They werenât bad... I suppose because of the other high reviews we had high expectations. The wine was the best we had on the island. But my pasta dish was mostly very average pasta noodles and little flavor or protein. I was most disappointed in the bread rolls they offered. They were very hard and stale. We likely wonât return but it was a nice experience in general!Hola Becca gracias por tomarte el tiempo de escribirnos nos sentimos muy apenados por tu mala experiencia pero hemos estado checando todo lo que mencionas para mejorar.Esperamos verte en una segunda oportunidad te aseguro que no te arrepentirás, saludos cordiales de parte de Giuseppe Genovese y su equipo Casa Nostra Roof.
