Pan di Bacco Edit listing

Pan di Bacco is a Neapolitan Italian restaurant at El Merkado on the Tourist Corridor in San Jose del Cabo, recognized with the 2023 Diners Choice Award (per pandibacco.com) and the TripAdvisor Travelers Choice 2024. The kitchen is led by Chef Victor Marquez and built around the traditional recipes of the six Naples sisters who founded the brand — keeping the essence of southern Italy alive, per the restaurant's OpenTable profile. The menu pairs homemade bread, fresh pasta, an extensive wine list and traditional wood-fired pizzas with healthy breakfasts and Italian-style lunches and dinners.

The restaurant sits inside El Merkado, the design-forward food hall in Cerro Colorado, with an open kitchen and a dining room that runs from breakfast through dinner. Adjacent is Ufficio by PDB — the brand's espresso bar — for guests who want a quick caffeinated stop. According to pandibacco.com, this Merkado outpost is positioned for healthy breakfasts featuring "the best avocado toast in Los Cabos" alongside the dinner-focused Italian repertoire.
