Friendly staff and nice atmosphere. I went for a gluten free pizza and it was delicious and crispy. I would recommend for any coeliacs in Playa.

Delicious gluten-free food. Excellent attention

Very nice Italian restaurant! Friendly and efficient service. I think the owner knows how to set the mood in the evening! The place is pleasant outdoors. They make gluten-free pasta, so that's nice. The salads, however, aren't amazing.

If you’re a real pizza lover, I’d suggest giving this place a miss. We ordered two Diavola pizzas, one on a gluten-free base with vegan cheese and one regular. The gluten-free base came at an additional 100 pesos, which is quite steep, but I was curious to try it. Unfortunately, what arrived was more like a 1mm-thin tostada with a small amount of melted vegan cheese, no tomato sauce, and just four slices of what seemed like very basic salami. It really didn’t resemble a pizza in any way and was sent back straight away. Thankfully, we weren’t charged for it, which I appreciated. As for the regular pizza, it wasn’t much better. It looked like something from a very low-end all-inclusive buffet. The tomato sauce was unusually dark and definitely didn’t taste like San Marzano as advertised. The base was flat, undercooked, and lacked any real flavour or texture. On the plus side, the service was excellent. The waiter was kind, attentive, and very apologetic. I really felt for him, as he did his best in a tough situation. As an Italian who has lived abroad for over 20 years, I’ve had pizza in all kinds of settings and don’t consider myself particularly picky. But sadly, this just didn’t come close to what I’d consider pizza, especially at these prices. Piola used to be great years ago, but something seems to have changed. I won’t be returning.

Great place, lots of vegan and gluten free options, really recommend the empanadas they are amazing. A word of warning, the coffee wasn’t great, couldn’t drink it, it was really bad !

Great gluten free pizza. I read from other reviews they only have gluten free pizza on Fridays, so I texted them on WhatsApp to confirm before I went there. Love the atmosphere as well. The only thing is I wish they used fresh pineapple in stead of canned.

Salvei Vegan Concept is an amazing and friendly place, made with love and care for everyone who steps inside. You can relax on the cozy terrace with shade and a refreshing breeze, or come inside for a charming ambiance with A/C. Plus, it’s pet-friendly! The menu is wide and full of creative dishes, offering both local and classic meals for all tastes. Salvei is transparent about its ingredients, giving customers a clear understanding of what’s in each dish. There are plenty of gluten-free and sugar-free options too. My personal favorites are the Rainbow Roll, Tartare Caribe, and the Falafel from the specials. They also have great cocktails, vegan cakes, and beautifully presented dishes. I highly recommend taking this vegan journey with the trustworthy hands of chef and owner Kairi, who is passionate about her cuisine—authentic and delicious!

Excellent food, service and a very good musical selection, and the price is more than generous compared to the amount of food they give you, and it also has gluten free options. Super recommended
