The best Italian restaurants in Cabo

Eataliano

Eataliano is the go-to for classic Italian done right, the kind of menu where fresh pasta, wood-fired pizza, and well-executed mains share the table. The name says it all: this is unapologetic, comforting Italian cooking in the middle of Cabo. Baja Pass members get a 2-for-1 on mains, so two can share a full Italian dinner for the price of one entree.

Caprese

Caprese takes its name from one of Italy's most iconic dishes, and it leans into bright, fresh, Mediterranean-Italian flavors, think tomato, basil, mozzarella, and seafood given the Baja treatment. It is an elegant, romantic choice for a date-night dinner, and members enjoy a 2-for-1 on mains here as well.

The Kitchen

The Kitchen is a contemporary spot with an internationally-minded menu and strong Italian-leaning plates, from pastas to shareable mains, in a polished, modern setting. It is a great pick when your group can't quite agree on cuisine but everyone wants something a little elevated. The 2-for-1 on mains applies for members.

What makes Cabo's Italian scene work

The secret ingredient in Cabo's best Italian kitchens is the location itself. Baja's waters deliver some of the freshest seafood in Mexico, so a plate of pasta here might arrive crowned with local shrimp, clams, or fish brought in that morning. Add the region's sun-ripened produce, a deep bench of imported and Mexican wines, and chefs who have trained between Italy and Los Cabos, and you get Italian food that tastes both authentic and unmistakably Baja. It is comfort food with an ocean breeze, and it makes a welcome change of pace from a week of tacos and ceviche.

These restaurants also tend to be easygoing about pace, which suits a vacation. Order a bottle, share a few starters, let the pasta course run long, and you have a relaxed evening rather than a rushed meal, exactly the kind of dinner the 2-for-1 perk is built to reward.

How the 2-for-1 perk works

Baja Pass is a digital membership that lives in your Apple or Google Wallet. One pass covers the member plus one guest, so an Italian dinner for two effectively becomes one entree paid, one free, the cheaper main comes off the bill. You can see all three Italian spots, plus every other food partner, on the Los Cabos restaurants page, and the complete list of perks on the deals page.

When you sit down, let your server know you are a Baja Pass member before ordering so the 2-for-1 is applied correctly, and check the individual venue page to confirm exactly what the deal covers at that location.

Round out your Cabo food tour

Italian is just one chapter of Cabo's dining story. Swap it for a sunset cocktail at one of the city's best rooftop restaurants and bars, a toes-in-the-sand lunch at a beachfront restaurant, or an easy morning at one of the top spots for breakfast and brunch. A few other crowd-pleasers worth adding to your list: Maria Corona for Mexican classics and El Squid Roe for the iconic downtown party, both 2-for-1 for members.
