Why Travelers Love Pitiona
Sourced from recent guest feedback and verified reviews.
4.1 / 5.0(2,119 reviews)
I had a wonderful lunch here. The view was amazing from the food top. The entire restaurant was beautifully and tastefully decorated. The staff were all friendly and attentive and full of hear-warming smiles. The food was among the best I’d ever had. From the complimentary tortilla and dips, amuse-bouche to the starter and the main course, all made with fresh local ingredients and executed with the chef’s personal touches. It was a very member meal for me. Beautiful food, service fine. Food mediocre to bad. I ordered a steak well done and it was rare by all standards. I’m not scared of rare but that’s not what I ordered—this was seared and still mooing on the inside. Mole a notch below the best places in Oaxaca. You can have the atmosphere and the food at Casa Oaxaca or Tierra del Sol. I would suggest it for drinks. Beautiful view of the church. The view was lovely. The food was great. Probably the best mole negro I had in Oaxaca!! And I had a lot!

Gorgeous view of the church from the rooftop terrace. I did the tasting menu with the drink pairing and it was great fun. Lots of inventive and tasty dishes and the drink pairing was a huge value in terms of both quantity and quality. Definitely the best wines I’ve had from Mexico. I will definitely come back here again on my next visit!

The place might look nice at first glance, but the experience quickly turned into a disaster. Despite the entire place being empty, the receptionist flat-out refused to accommodate us, repeatedly claiming there was a private event. What made it worse was her attitude—completely dismissive, cold, and frankly, borderline racist. Even after going out of my way to use Google Translate just to communicate, the girl at the front still refused to make any effort to talk or help. Completely unprofessional and rude. She made no real effort to explain things respectfully and seemed bothered by our presence from the start. I had read good reviews and expected decent service, but now I see why some say appearances can be deceiving. The service here is absolutely shameful.
