Sunset Point

Sunset Mona Lisa has become an international landmark celebrated for not only its ingredient-forward menu but, even more so, its spectacular views of the Cabo San Lucas Bay and Land’s End. The property that houses Sunset Mona Lisa is actually home to three restuarants; in addition to Sunset Mona Lisa, there’s the Champagne bar Taittinger Terrace and the tapas and wine bar Sunset Point. Here, at Sunset Point, you can expect those same epic views as well as an expertly curated menu of pizza, tapas, and wine, not to mention a more relaxed—while still sophisticated—ambience. For a casual date night or evening out with friends, come to Sunset Point to take advantage of the 180-degree vistas and the inspired Italian menu. The tasting menu is an easy and enjoyable way to explore the Sunset Point menu; the three-meal includes tapas or a salad or fresh mozzarella followed by terrina di terracotta (oven-baked pasta) or a gourmet pizza and a dessert (there are straightforward desserts and cocktail versions). Sunset Point appetizers include a selection of mozzarella specials such as Pettole (a prosciutto roll served with arugula and cherry tomatoes) as well as other favorites like tuna tartar, meatballs with a mushroom sauce, or fried calamari. Pizzas are king here; they come straight from a wood-burning oven with a nice variety of toppings from which to choose. For something different, opt for the tuna sashimi pizza with arugula, pesto, cherry tomatoes, and Parmesan. There’s also a classic napoletana with mushrooms, salami, mozzarella, and tomato sauce.  The mini magnum—a trio of three desserts—is perfect for those who have trouble deciding. Dessert drinks available include prosecco and port wine. Km 5.5 on the tourist corridor, Cabo San Lucas (624) 145-8160, www.sunsetmonalisa .com. Nightly 5 p.m.–10 p.m. MasterCard, Visa, and vouchers accepted. $$–$$$$ A.A.
