Why Travelers Love Osteria de
Sourced from recent guest feedback and verified reviews.
Have only been here for a few days, but this has been by far the best meal we've had here. Granted, we've been turistas and just going to easily accessible restaurants to Mamita's Beach. This place is located not along the main drag and so much more worth it. Not the best in the world italian i've had. But so much better than anything else we've had so far and worth going to. And after going here, totally better than the other Italian places we looked up. Folks were super, super nice, gave excellent recommendations, appropriately attentive, great portion sizes, and super reasonably priced. Just totally a step up from other limited places we've tried. Also, Max. This place is brilliant! Our waitress and all the staff were lovely and attentive. Dinner was great, prices were very reasonable and the food felt very authentic. The Cacio e Pepe was one of the best we’ve had. There was live music and they have a cute pup! Would definitely recommend!! I had the Wednesday special, Oxtail with homemade gnocchi! I did takeout as I don’t live in Playa del Carmen. The space was decorated beautifully, the service 5* and the food was just incredibly delicious! The portion super generous and such a reasonable price! Thanks to my neighbours in Puerto Aventuras I found this amazing gem!

I celebrated my birthday at Osteria Di Roma, and it couldn’t have been more perfect! There was a blackout across the whole city, even the Yucatán Peninsula, but the amazing team didn’t let it ruin the night — they handled everything with such grace and warmth. They brought candles, offered food and drinks, and made the evening truly unforgettable. Delicious food, great wine selection, and wonderful staff. Highly recommended!

Awesome food and amazing service. The owner, Federica, who is originally from Italia, provided an excellent dining experience for us. This place, is slightly off the beaten path and away from the hustle and bustle of La Quinta (5th Ave.). But, it’s worth the trip away from the tourist traps. You will not be disappointed.
