Welcome to the most desirable street in all of Playa del Carmen this is the Calle 38 neighborhood. Where luxury meets trendy food spots and cafes. Here are some of our neighborhood favorites.
Piola is a legend in this neighborhood not just for the thin crust pizza but for the bar. It's our local Cheers where everyone knows your name. All their Margarita's and mixed cocktails are made with fresh real pressed juices and fruit. Piola also has tons of healthy options on their menu too including a vegan pizza and gluten free pasta. It's a weekly dinner for us at least!
