Raffaele Pasta Pizza e Vino Don't let your atlas confuse you. México is much closer to the Mediterranean than any map would have you believe. The Southern Baja climate and landscape have proved the perfect platform for many successful Italian eateries over the years. To enter into this arena and succeed, it takes more than great food. It takes execution, attention to detail, customer service, innovation, well-sourced ingredients, and authenticity. I’m happy to report that Raffaele Pasta Pizza e Vino has arrived in Cabo San Lucas with all that–and more. Here, you'll find incredible Italian bites and delightfully accessible price points. Begin your evening here with an order of carpaccio di pesce (fish carpaccio), which is prepared with just the right amount of tartness. Entrée highlights include the limon piccata scalopini, fettucini amatriciana (ask for a little extra heat), and the decadent rigatoni carbonara.
