    Pizza!!
    Sylvia N.

    Is it kind of sad that one of my favorite places we ate at Puerto Vallarta was a pizza joint? The pizzas were a good portion, and not sure if they put something in the sauce, but it was addicting. We ate pizzas from here twice during our time in Puerto Vallarta. The restaurant was pretty close from our hotel, so we went here after shopping at the mall, and the second time, we were in our hotel and made the walk to get some pizzas to go. If you're looking for solid pizza, try this place out!

    Spaghetti with bacon and shrimp
    Tanya K.

    Not a bad place to fulfill our Italian craving in PV. . We had: 1) Pizza Fantasia (aka meat lovers pizza) $242 pesos - delish and would get again. Put some olive oil, chili flakes and fresh parm on and you're cooking with gas ; and 2) Spagetti Mari e monte - $252 pesos - also tasty with same trick. This has bacon, shrimp, tomato's and a touch of cream. Unique taste and would recommend. . Both were delish and reasonable price. Overall, speedy service, friendly and nice restaurant. I would recommend taking their upsell on bread as regular wasn't amazing. Rest was . Also has nice ambiance.

    Fettucine Alfredo

    Food looks better than it tasted. Service started well, but somewhere along the way, it seems we were forgotten about despite us being seated in a highly visible area. We started with a waitress, halfway through we believe it changed to another person although we were never informed and still saw our initial waitress walking around, so we didn't quite know if we were waiting for her to come back or should be asking questions of the new waiter. Margherita pizza was okay. The one with added mushrooms was better than the one without. Both pizzas needed to be baked longer as the bottoms were pale and flimsy. Spaghetti bolognesa had an odd after taste. Complimentary bread as well as the garlic bread lacked in flavor and texture. Chicken parmigiana had a nice crunch, but make note that it comes with bland mashed potatoes and steamed veggies (not spaghetti). Fettucine Alfredo is a bit on the lemony side which I didn't mind. Although we wanted to order dessert, we didn't because getting a waiter's attention seemed to be more than it was worth at that point. In other news, prices were cheap and the restaurant has a really nice and cute feel to it.

    No lie outside of Pepe's, this is the best meal I had in PV. First off the restaurant is beautiful okay?! The pizza was so good, I could have finished the pie off myself. Glad I didn't shy away from dessert because THE TIRAMISU! Omg. Can I get on a flight and have that serving again for 168 pesos. Love it. Will be back if I'm ever in PV.

    Roma salad
    Barry H.

    Another visit and another excellent meal. This time we shared a Roma Salad and Stuffed Tortellini (in bolognese sauce) with a Negra Modelo to wash it down.

    Took some photos of the menu Pepperoni pizza needed more flavor Other than that great service good food worth a try

    Seafood pasta

    If you want some of the best Italian food since I was in Tuscany in a packed house on a Saturday night, Hector and Jorge made us feel like we were the only ones in the entire restaurant! First class meal with first class service! The best Italian food in Puerto Vallarta .

    Wood fried pizza from La Dolce
    Kristi K.

    Delicious food!! I highly recommend the wood fired pizzas. We had the La Dolce & Mushroom. My kids ate the lasagna and loved it.. for picky eaters that's saying a lot. We carried out.

    Great choice! Solid Italian food when you're looking to take a break from Mexican Food. I will probably come back if I'm in the area..

    BEWARE FOOD POISONING!…read more Walked over here for dinner because this place is constantly recommended by people in the neighborhood. All the seating is outside, which is fine. I noticed right away that the kitchen is tiny. It made me wonder how they manage to put out so much food. Service was standard. Nothing to complain about while we were sitting there, but the aftermath was a disaster. My partner and I both got extremely sick a few hours after leaving. It was pretty clearly food poisoning, likely salmonella based on the symptoms. It is very disappointing since so many people talk this place up. I will not be going back. Would really caution and avoid if older or immunocompromised.

    I have been to this amazing spot a few different times. They are always so sweet and i absolutely…read morelove the food here. This trip however the lady next to me had her 85th birthday ! Of course the staff did it up in style with flickering lights and what sounded like fireworks . Which in turn scared the living daylights out of me. I was ready to run out of there (this happened after a earthquake scare a few hours earlier ). Those guys came over of course when I realized what was actually happening happening I was in tears laughing so hard. Those guys were so sweet we all had a great laugh about it. I will forever be known as the lady at table 5. Or the crazy lady at table 5. Love this place so much!!!!

    This place is a hidden gem tucked away on the hill behind the church in the Centro area. If you…read moredint know, you would probably walk right by it. Pro tip: Make your reservation about 30 minutes before sunset. You'll have just enough time to order a glass of wine and watch the sunset while taking some incredible photos overlooking the water. The wine list is excellent and pairs perfectly with the menu. The cocktails, however, are the one miss for me. Now let's talk comida (look it up kids) You're probably going to think I've lost my mind, but you have to order the lasagna. I know what you're thinking: "Who let this guy be Yelp Elite?" Hear me out - just trust the process. It is hands-down one of the best dishes on the menu and completely changed my expectations of what to order here. If you're craving seafood, the lobster is a very close second. It's cooked perfectly in a garlic-infused butter and served with mashed potatoes. On paper it sounds like an unusual pairing, but one bite in and it all makes sense. La Cappella is a refreshing change of pace from the taco scene in Puerto Vallarta. Between the romantic setting (there's at least two violin players), the sunset views, the fantastic wine selection, and a meal you'll be talking about afterward, it's absolutely worth the reservation. Remember: don't skip the lasagna! Cheers!

    I would have to say that La Cappella is one of the most romantic restaurants in Puerto Vallarta…read more Tucked away in the hills behind the main church, La Cappella delivers an immediate "wow" factor the moment you walk in. The setting, the atmosphere, and especially the views make this much more than just a place to have dinner--it's an experience. We started with cocktails. I ordered a traditional Old Fashioned made with Maker's Mark. It was made perfectly, although I would have liked to see a better selection of bourbons. Maker's Mark was the best bourbon available, but fortunately, they made a very good Old Fashioned with it. My wife ordered one of their specialty cocktails, the Maracuyá, made with tequila, passion fruit, lime juice, and agave syrup. It was refreshing and a perfect cocktail for a warm evening. We started dinner with their namesake salad. It was a generous portion--large enough to be a meal on its own--and our wonderful waiter wisely suggested that we split it. It came with mixed greens, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, apples, pineapple, carrots, walnuts, and goat cheese, topped with a passion-fruit vinaigrette. After a hot day in the sun, it was incredibly refreshing. For my main course, I ordered the ossobuco, a slow-roasted pork leg with a Marsala wine reduction served over mushroom risotto with vegetables. The pork was absolutely delicious--falling-off-the-bone tender and packed with flavor. My wife chose the grilled octopus. The flavor was very good, but I would have preferred the slippery skin to have been removed before cooking. It was tasty, but the extra work required to eat it would probably make me choose something else on our next visit. But honestly, the ambience is what makes La Cappella truly special. We arrived about 30 minutes before sunset and watched the sun slowly dip below the horizon while a live violinist played along with recorded music. Sitting there with my wife, watching the sunset and listening to the violinist, was simply amazing. It's hard to imagine a more romantic setting anywhere in Puerto Vallarta. The interior is elegant, formal, and exceptionally well kept, while the overall atmosphere feels special without being stuffy. We wound up, ordering an after dinner, drink, in lieu of dessert, but moved out to the high top patio to get a better view of the city. I highly recommend La Cappella for a special occasion, anniversary, date night, or simply a romantic evening with someone you love. The food is excellent, the setting is spectacular, and the experience is one you'll remember.
