Reaching La Cappella at night can itself feel like a bit of an adventure as you make the bumpy drive up the steep streets overlooking the coastline to reach Hotel Bellview - nestled at one of the highest points of the city. Once you reach your destination though and take your first step into La Cappella you're instantly transported to a little taste of Italy nestled in the heart of Puerto Vallarta. The main dining room felt like an actual restaurant you would dine at in an old castle in Italy and the view from the restaurant is worth the drive alone even if the food wasn't good (which it was delicious). Service was impeccable and the food was delicious. Our table started with the artisenal meat and cheese board which WE DEVOURED. It was one of the better charcuterie boards I'd had in a while. We also shared the caprese salad which was fresh and delicious. For my entree I went with the Filet Mignon which was accompanied by a goat cheese-stuffed chili pepper on a bed of mashed potatoes, all enhanced by a creamy sauce with three varieties of chili peppers. There was hardly a bite left when I was done with it. While we enjoyed our dinner violinists were walking around serenading guests and at one point fireworks even went off over the city by the cathedral the restaurant overlooks making for an even more spectacular dining experience. Make the adventure up the hill to enjoy the views, vibes, and tastes coming out of La Cappella.
I was crossing my fingers this wouldn't be a tourist trap -- and it turned out to be the BEST choice for our wedding anniversary! Easily one of the top 3 most romantic places we've ever been. The food was incredible: the grilled octopus, tomato bisque, and tuna tartare were all perfection. Service was excellent from start to finish, and the ambiance? Magical. I was smiling the entire night. Since it was our anniversary, we even renewed our vows here (in private) -- with the gorgeous view of Puerto Vallarta's iconic church as the backdrop. Truly unforgettable. If you're in Puerto Vallarta, this is the place to celebrate. Highly recommend!
Wonderful Italian restaurant in Puerto Vallarta. Old school Italian vibe here with white table cloths and panoramic views. We had beef carpaccio, a Caesar salad, and the colossal shrimp linguine, all were excellent. A bottle of red wine (from Mexico) finished the meal nicely. Service was excellent and attentive. Recommend for a high end meal amidst the less expensive options in the area.
Food, ambiance, service, the VIEW, everything was AMAZING! I ordered the pasta primavera and my fiancé ordered the fettuccine alfredo. Soooooo good. My guava martini was also so yummy! Our waiter, Rafael, was so kind and attentive and took great care of us. 10/10 would come again. Thank you!!
This place was amazing. I took my reluctant teenager who said nothing looked good on the menu when we got there. Mind you, there was a very strep hill to climb to get there, probably 4-5 flights (stories). The view was spectacular, the restaurant immaculate, and the service top notch. I had the Caprese and I ordered the fettuccine Alfredo for my son. The Alfredo sauce was orgasmic, the best I have ever eaten. My son even liked it a lot! I'm definitely going back there. With those two dishes and a soft drink (bread was complimentary), our bill came to just under 800 pesos. The view alone was worth it.
Our hotel concierge said this was a great place for dinner and that was an understatement! When you walk into this masterful place it is essentially a historic monument and is full of beautiful architecture, paintings, chandeliers and more. The view out to the church and ocean is breathtaking and watching the sunset just melts anyone. If the views were not enough, the menu was fabulous and the chef's delivery was exquisite. I had chicken piccata with veggies as I had to be gluten free (normally it comes with fettuccine). My wife had the Fruitti de Mare which was chock full of amazing seafood with mussels, scallops, lobster tail and shrimp and fabulous fettuccini alfredo. I could only have a bite of the lobster tail but my wife looked like she was in food heaven. We had lime sorbet for desert as well Tiramisu. We also had a bottle of Chianti and a few drinks and there was absolutely nothing that could have gone better. Food, service, ambiance and view! To add icing on the cake, there were two violinists playing electric violins creating a mood beyond compare. This has to be one of the most outstanding restauran experiences of my life and I will be sure to go back every time I am in PV! This is a must go to place! And, the value for all of this was truly exceptional. This was all for about $225 USD and this should be a total five star restaurant in any city around the world!
Enjoyed a wonderful dinner at La Cappella for my 50th birthday. Due to the size of my party, I had to email the restaurant and promptly received a response to confirm. (Please note that for parties of 6 or more, you will be required to leave a credit card on file. In case of a no-show, you will be charged $20 per person). The restaurant itself is absolutely breathtaking! It's beautifully decorated and has the most amazing view. The ambiance is unmatched. In addition to the beautiful decor, they have live violinists that serenade each table. Despite the large size of the restaurant, it feels extremely intimate. The service was amazing and our waiter was wonderful at responding to our questions and offering suggestions. (Worth noting that if you need separate checks, please make this known upfront. We were a party of seven and when they brought out check out, they were unwilling to split it. One person had to pay and be reimbursed which was a bit inconvenient for everyone). We had a wonderful experience here. I was perfect for a birthday celebration. The food portions were large and everything was delicious.
A wonderful combination of view , food and service! Worth the effort you won't be disappointed! Make certain you are at your table for sunset . Take your time the table is yours for 2.5 hours. The craft cocktails are a great way to start . Wine list offers choices however a bit pricey . The Lasagna is authentic , the pasta with giant shrimp in a light butter wine sauce won't disappoint ... Huge Shrimp yet tender ! Service was attentive and balanced not overbearing . Take a taxi this place is really not walkable and for those with mobility issues , be aware there are a few steps within the resturant . Parties of two will find the best tables at the railings other still have a great view. Can't be a bit breezy as the sun sets , but that is part of the ambiance . Worth the special effort to make a special memory !
Came to Caffè Cappella for my birthday dinner, and it was such a beautiful experience. The restaurant has immaculate views of the city and a really elegant atmosphere. The food was superb -- my sisters and I ordered steak, shrimp plates, and pasta, and everything was delicious. You really can't go wrong with anything on the menu. The service was 10/10. Definitely a perfect spot for a memorable dinner. I can't wait to go back!"

Hands down one of the best dinners I have ever had. The service, absolutely incredible. Julio César our host was a one of a kind gentleman who went above and beyond in making my partner and I feel at home. From his recommendations on the wine to his constant attention to detail, we could not have asked for a better host. Now for the food. I love octopus and have eaten a decent amount of it. The one I had here was on a whole other world. Whereas a lot of octopus can be chewy (I don't mind it), this octopus was perfectly tender. The flavors were amazing as well and the risotto that was paired with it was just the perfect amount of creaminess. And for the final portion, the ambiance was again unimaginable. They have violinists playing throughout the night and paired with an incredible view of the ocean and the cathedral, this restaurant is surely one that will stay in our hearts forever. Cannot wait to visit this place again and see our now friend Julio as well. read more

I have nothing but wonderful things to say about our anniversary dinner last night. I love how the restaurant location is tucked away up in the hilly cobblestone streets among residential neighborhoods. It almost feels like a secret location when you get to the door. Our table was probably one of the best tables in the entire restaurant. Our reservation was for 5:15pm and it was super hot and sunny at first but it cooled down and the breeze picked up. We had a dirty martini and a margarita to start with. Then we shared the burrata salad. It was so tasty! We had the tomato bisque and it came with grilled shrimp. Our mains were the chicken piccata and the fettuccine Alfredo. Everything was plated beautifully and the staff was so attentive. Our dinner lasted a couple hours because we were savoring every moment and we got to see the sunset while we toasted our anniversary. They brought out a really pretty dessert plate with a fun candle and complimentary glass of Prosecco for us. It was magical and I recommend it if you want a romantic and breathtaking experience while you're in PV. read more

The best part about this place is the view and the staff. The food was a bit overpriced. I would definitely suggest if you want a magical fine dining experience over the city. Perfect sunset seating. Call To make a reservation because they rarely have a walk-in available. read more

This was hands down the best meal of my life. The drinks were amazing (I got the Frappecito, my wife the Blue Sangria), then the fried calamari which was the best calamari I've ever had. The entrees were delicious (Beef filet on firewood and the spaghetti bolognese), and the mousse for dessert was also just delicious. Then, add in the top notch service, the lovely wait staff, the incredible view, the lovely breeze, the amazing sunset over the this is already a fantastic night. THEN, the violin trio straight from heaven!! We cannot rave enough, this restaurant is so wonderful, for SURE a highlight of our trip. Easily five stars, wish I could give more. read more

I created an awesome Instagram reel here -- that should be a rave review in itself.! Lol. Great view, service, drinks and food. My only criticism would be that the musicians (violinist) would sound better if they were NOT amplified. Get dressed up and go! Pronto! read more

Absolutely love this place. The view is beautiful with open air seating. There were 4 violinists playing throughout our meal. Perfectly lovely. I had the seared scallops and caprese salad. For the entree I had the filet of beef. It was a generous portion and very tender. It was well seasoned and delicious. It came with asparagus and a small portion of gnocchi and roasted tomatoes. It is a perfect place for dinner with family and friends. read more
Absolutely stunning setting perched upon the hills of Puerto Vallarta. This charming open-air Italian restaurant has delicious food and great service. I recommend booking a reservation in advance (OpenTable supported). The restaurant closes the kitchen to new guests at 9PM. There was a charming violin trio that played music while we were there. Highly recommend the sea bass as well as Zocotto dessert. This restaurant is a little on the pricier side but the ambiance, food, and service were amazing. read more
