Leonardo da Vinci’s “Mona Lisa” has dazzled and intrigued art lovers for centuries. And, as you might suspect given its name, the sunset views from this divine Italian restaurant have much the same effect. As the potent Los Cabos sun begins its nightly descent over Land’s End, romance so envelops the multi-tiered Sunset da Mona Lisa that it’s practically a given that somebody will get engaged during your visit (the restaurant averages one proposal per night). Three chefs share executive duty here, and they’ve crafted a menu to cater to all types of palates and dietary restrictions (including gluten sensitivities). There are antipasti (try the crispy Raviolo Croccante with Beluga Kaluga caviar), house-made pastas, fresh seafood, meaty entrées, and a roster of deliciously indulgent desserts. 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. As we ate, we drank from a wonderful malbec. Come dessert time, we switched course: pairing Oaxacan hot chocolates with panna cotta. Valet parking. Km 6 on the Tourist Corridor, Cabo San Lucas, (624) 145-8160, www.sunsetmonalisa.com. Nightly 5 p.m.–10 p.m. MasterCard and Visa accepted. $$–$$$$ A.A.
