Piola is one of those restaurants that people go back to because they like the feel of the place and taste. This is an Italian restaurant that is actually a chain but the Playa Del Carmen one has a unique feel to it. The pizza and pasta are popular here and you cannot help but think about the basil martinis! They are so good they made our list of great drinks in Playa. Let’s see what Piola restaurant is like on 38th Street in Playa Del Carmen.
Piola Restaurant in Playa Del Carmen
Piola opened in 2009 in Playa and has found its niche audience with those that like the setting that is away from the buzz of 5th Avenue and has a little Playa Del Carmen feel to it. The colorful lights and tropical garden in the front give it a special atmosphere. There is a very large menu with about every type of pizza and pasta imaginable. The quality of food is consistent, and it is why they have been able to stay around so long.
Pizzas are made to order and cooked in their brick oven.
Pizzas come in two sizes, 10 inches and 16 inches. Prices range from about 99-250 pesos. Below is the Brooklyn pizza.
Pastas come in two sizes which is nice for when you are a little hungry or a lot.
These are the famous basil martinis. There have an amazing taste and are very refreshing for those warm nights. You have to drink fast at first because they start melting. No objections there!
Save room for dessert. Their tiramisu is good for two.
Recommendations
It you want a casual Italian restaurant with a nice setting and a menu that is sure to have something for everyone, then this might just be your spot. It is not high-end gourmet, but the tasty food does keep bringing locals and tourist back. And you must try the basil martinis!

Piola is a good restaurant for pasta and pizza in Playa. We like the old one on 38th Avenue because the setting is so nice.
Way good pizza here! We went while visiting and we love the location and drinks. Good call.
It’s hard to beat the thin crust pizza at La Piola. It is one of our favorites in Playa. We also like the place on 4th street, Romeos.
Piola is one of our favorite playa restaurants. The setting, especially at night, is wonderful. We love both the pizza and pasta (carbonara is the best)
