There is a modern-day legend that surrounds Sunset da Mona Lisa: The landmark Los Cabos restaurant is said to be the site of nightly marriage proposals. Three chefs share executive duty here, and they’ve created a menu that is the perfect pairing for an incredibly romantic vista. The young-and-in-love flock to the multitiered terrace restaurant to dine on exquisite Italian fare and look out at the iconic sunset over Land’s End.
The menu here was crafted to cater to all types of dietary restrictions (including gluten sensitivities), and there’s something for everyone. We began our dinner with an appetizer of thick-cut, carpaccio-style tuna that popped with notes of soy and citrus. We continued with house-made gnocchi filled with crab in a white truffle cream and beef tenderloin and vegetables cooked right at the table, on a sizzling volcanic rock.
As we ate, we drank from a wonderful malbec. Come dessert time, we switched course: pairing Oaxacan hot chocolates with panna cotta. Valet parking.
