About the restaurant

Cielomar Restaurant and our Rooftop Bar and lounge that doesn’t just set the scene. It is the scene.
Enjoy artisan cocktails and small plates while hearing the crash of the waves at your side. Yes,
here the world seems to go on pause. Especially as the sun sets, the sky blazes with color, and
the celebratory vibe reach an all-time high. Savor the moment at this rooftop venue with 360-
degree views of San Jose.
Translating to Sky and Sea, Cielomar Rooftop reflects both a sense of place and atmosphere where the endless golden sky meets the brilliant blue water. Expansive ocean views on the side are complemented by vibrant, fiery sunsets on another, creating a destination alongside a bountiful food and beverage offering highlighted by fresh seafood, flame-grilled fare, and a wood-fired pizza oven.

Fiorenza was founded on December 1st of 2012 by Roberto Persi, the original chef of Toscana in Italy, and his wife Fiorenza in the suburbs of San José del Cabo. After two years they changed their headquarters to the touristic zone in San José. Thanks to the great service and the wonderful taste of the authentic Italian food the place has been a complete success.
