We were very excited to return to Pitiona after a wonderful experience we had a year ago. We were a little apprehensive the food and the new location wouldn't live up to our expectations, but not to worry, everything was a step up. We were very fortunate to have Lorena be our server, actually, she is more of a Sommelier.... More

The 6 course tasting menu is a great option to know some of the dishes available. There are some options which were not as amazing as expected, but in general I really did love it, and would definitely return.

This restaurant was recommended by a Mexican friend who is a foodie so we were really looking forward to it. The room where we were seated and were the only guests was lacking in warmth as was the wait staff. While the service was efficient, we felt rushed and found the food only average.

If you want an "experience" as opposed to a meal, this is the place. The food that was served bore little or no relationship to what was on the menu. There was over emphasis on preparation and appearance and content suffered. At times we had no idea of what we were eating. It's the only place in the world I've... More

Over the top menu lacking real Oaxaca warmth. Highest price point in Oaxaca and too many odd dishes. Great setting but tries to hard to be unique.

Pitiona promised a lot by the reviews we had read and the hustle and bustle we saw when reserving a table the night before we ate there.  On the night we ate, we were the only people to be seated in the small dining room with 5 tables.  The room was nicely decorated however there was a lack of atmosphere...

As our 5th trip to Oaxaca in 17 years we were pleasantly surprised by the big improvement in variety and quality of restaurants. We ate in Pitiona on 21 December 2012 and felt we had one of the best beef dishes and meal overall that we had experienced anywhere. Pitiona is located near Santo Domingo in a side street that...

We had an absolutely delicious meal with great service. The dish called "The Cow who thought it was a goat" was melt in the mouth delicious. Possibly the best steak I have had anywhere in the world, ever. Service was friendly and attentive. A great restaurant.

This restaurant was our choice for the Christmas dinner and it truly met our expectations. The food is New York quality: innovative, minimalist, and delicious. Every dish was superb and the wine was great. The chef is renown in Mexico and I can see why.
