Doc Wine Bar

We’ve been coming here since they opened roughly 7 years ago. My husband and I really love this place. So why only 3 stars… The last couple times we’ve been there, we’ve taken a larger party…6−7. The service is always nice, but very slow. Slower than acceptable. The homemade fettuccine is perfect! I ordered the Truffle Gnocchi and omg… Delicious! But everything just took forever. The molten lava & chili cake was almost worth the wait. They said 10 min & 45 minutes later a delectable melt in your mouth chocolatey piece of heaven arrived, but we were so done waiting. It about ruined it. (But I still ate it!) I’ll definitely go back, but I won’t take guests anymore. The foods really worth giving it a shot.

Italian gem and wine bar in Cabo.
The staff are friendly and really take pride in offering great wines and delicious food.
Every dish was amazing. To start, we shared the artichoke soufflé, so good on its own and great with bread. We also had toasts with melted cheese and zucchini, which may not sound like much but get it.
So… you really need to get the homemade pastas.
We had the fresh pasta — specki asparagi — long flat noodles, red sauce, prosciutto bits and thin shaved asparagus. You don’t need to add parmesan or anything to this dish. The pasta had so much flavor and surprisingly sans that heavy feeling in your tummy. Although, we did not have room for dessert.
If this restaurant were stateside, I would keep it on the down low so it wouldn’t get crowded. But I’m sharing the love here :)

I have never had a meal from start to finish where everything was the best ever. It was so good we came back a second night during our visit to Cabo. The first night we had prosciutto, artichoke soufflé, short rib ravioli, Tartufati, and the panna cotta. It was truly amazing. The Tartufati gnocchi was so flavorful and satisfying even without an added protein. The ravioli were unimaginable. The article soufflé is a must and the panna cotta was the best I’ve ever had. The second night we did the soufflé and short rib ravioli again. We also had the pesto gnocchi and the calamari lunga. The pesto was amazing fresh and the lunga was abundant with calamari and just the right about of spice. We finished with the panna cotta, again, and the tiramisu. This restaurant is a must for everyone!

This was the highlight of our Honeymoon dining experiences and everything we had was absolutely delicious! So glad we referred to this great spot!

Wow, shocked, surprised and satisfied are all words that come to me to describe DOC in Cabo. The procuitto was the best I’ve had outside Italy, thin to WIN and this was paper thin melting in your mouth.
(Before I continue, I live in Chicago, married in Italy and my mother in law still makes the best Pasta…)
Italian with a touch Mexican influence, eating simple and the best ingredients is what makes Italian good great in every country. Pesche aqua pazza stole the show but Le Cozze con gorgonzola was a up there. We had three pastas, all fresh and they were all fantastic. The pesto was great, love the touch with Potatoe.
The Mexican wines were more than great. Casa Madre and Casa Grande can stand up to anything in Napa/​Sonoma. if you are in Cabo, try the local wine. Be brave.
Dessert, have to have the flan, tiramesu and enjoy the homemade limoncella.
Overall, great dinning experience and I can’t wait to go back. Thank you for sharing your passion with us.

Italian food with a little Mexican flare. Owner is a French man just living the dream! Very small venue so make reservations!

Absolutely AMAZING food and service. A little outside of town which we loved. Very quaint, amazing wine and jazz. The food was very fresh and inventive. The service was impeccable. I am vegan and they were happy to accommodate my dietary needs and not with just a salad. The chef made me an amazing vegan pasta, salad and great brushetta appetizer. Other friends ordered the home made ravioli and loved it. I would HIGHLY suggest this restaurant and we will definitely be back!

So surprised to find authentic Italian food in Mexico. It was unbelievably good. I orders the DOC pasta and he flavored were incredible. Too spicy for my tastebuds and I love spice. My wife had the gnocchi and raved about it for days. Location not great with heavy traffic but best Italian food you will find. Wine selection also impressive and great selections.

Excellent food. Marcos was awesome. Everything we ordered was amazing. Highly recommend this restaurant

Wonderful menu executed really well. I wanted EVERY dish! The service, entire staff, atmosphere, wines… it was all top notch. We had such a wonderful evening here. FYI– we had something similar to a caprese salad, short rib ravioli, carbonara, gambari… It was all great. I’ll definitely return.

This is a hidden gem in Cabo. The food and wine are delicious, the service is outstanding. We had the salt crusted fish — wow! It was super fresh and tasty, oh and a great presentation. Can’t wait to go back next time I’m in Cabo and try more of the handmade pastas.

Best gnocchi I’ve EVER had! And the mussels in red sauce are phenomenal. Highly recommend. On the road right next to Mi Casa (back side of Amelia Wilkes Plaza).

What a Gem! We were searching for something different after a few days of tourist attractions. Docs is just a couple blocks off the Main Street and much tastier and more intimate than anything you will find down there. The food, the wine, the service… All stellar! Definitely coming back

Great service, great atmosphere, great food! What a nice surprise for two out of towners!

An Italian wine bar straight out of Europe in downtown Cabo.
Fresh ingredients, great service. Delish!

A break from all the Mexican food! This place is legit! Try «Doc», you won’t be disappointed! Most friendly staff I have met at anywhere.

Where did this place come from?!? And how did it land here in Cabo?
Fantastic experience! Authentic. Do you hear me? Authentic Italian food. In Cabo. That’s right. I said it. Wow.
We started with the burrata special and bruschetta app. Then shared the ossobuco rissoto for two. Yum yum yum.
Please go. Give them your money and allow these kind people to feed you!

Si andas por Cabo San Lucas y se te antoja una buena comida italiana, no dude de venir a este lugar. Es un restaurante o mas bien un Wine Bar super adhoc para pasar una velada tranquila disfrutando de unas pastas muy buenas y de una excelente variedad de vinos de la region o De otros lugares.
El lugar no excede de las 15 mesas pequeñas y esta decorado de forma muy sencilla pero con su charm.
Recomiendo que empiecen con los mejillones al vino blanco o con queso, el carpacio de hongos o unas bruschetas de tomate cherry. Si estas de antojo de pasta te recomiendo la DOC que esta hecha con habanero o la de 4 quesos con jalapeño. El pescado a la sal es supremo y para cerrar con broche de oro una fresas eroticas es una excelente opción.

Garrrr, I just accidentally quit my browser after writing an extensive review of this place.
Anyway, we found this place after walking into a really loud bar filled with drunk and badly dressed Americans called D_​_​_​_​_​s that had free wifi and decent sangria so we could look up an alternative on Unilocal!
After walking here, we were greeted by a lovely older Italian manager/​host who seated us (no reservation but they were able to squeeze the two of us in, thankfully) and then served by another Italian man named Luigi from Verona. :)
We shared Pellegrino, a bottle of Brut Rose, the Caprese, and a special beef ravioli with brown butter sauce that was to die for. All of that was under $ 100USD which is pretty good. Our server even gave us some Limoncello as a digestif afterwards on the house. (They thought we were famous actresses… hehe) We were too full to try dessert this time but when I go back to Cabo, I will definitely return.
The service was incredible, they were so friendly, the live music was awesome and not too loud for a cozy place, and it just had that feel of a place you’d return to every time you’re there.
Go and you will not be disappointed!
We were way too overdressed (LA beachy boho style) for the other restaurant but here, we fit right in. the crowd was mixed in age, but everyone was dressed nicely.
The food was authentic and delicious, they have a massive wine list with a great range in prices, and they were so friendly and accommodating. Not much else I can say to recommend this place.

GO GO GO! I can not say enough about the incredible service, wine, and food. All of the staff was extremely accommodating to our needs, allowing us to try the wines before choosing a glass to ensure we enjoyed each and every sip and coaching us through the menu. Our waiter Adrian could not have provided us better service, and the rest of the staff was all smiles, including the chef who came to speak to us about our meal and ensure we enjoyed our time at DOC. The carbonara, prepared with house made pasta and guanchale, was TO DIE FOR, along with the mussels in white wine and caprese served with wonderfully creamy burrata. Even the gluten free pasta was perfectly al dente and far exceeded our expectations.
Don’t think twice if you’re looking for a great meal, visit DOC Wine Bar. We will be back!

It seems odd that some of the best Italian food I’ve ever had is on the north end of a popular corridor in Cabo. After days of tacos, we were ready to mix it up — so excited that we did!
The spot is as mentioned, not the easiest to find and the insides are v dimly lit. That being said, the staff is all smiles and friendly and eager to answer any and all questions. I had the funghi tagliatelle, a friend had the pesce e menta (catch of the day — a white fish — mint, white wine, tomatoes, and lemon zest), and the last of our trio had the DOC (gunciale, cream, thyme, habanero chile, and sweet corn). We split the caprese between the three of us.
I don’t remember the last time I was less ashamed to scarf down a meal that exquisite and delicate. It was divine, and I could have had more except that it was so perfect upon completion that all we did was make plans to come again. The tagliatelle was obviously made on site and had such crafted yet high caliber flavor and texture, it was like silk in the mouth. The fish was also flavorful and fresh, while the DOC was the heavier of the three but also a great diversity of local profiles in an otherwise v Italian plate.
I can’t say enough for this place except that every time I go to Cabo, I will make a stop.
