    Hi-ya! This Italian restaurant in downtown puerto Vallarta was one of the best Italian places I've eaten at. The wine list was cool, but the fettuccine Alfredo. I always order this everywhere that serves Italian. It was hot, tasty and just solid solid solid. Loved it.

    My cousins & I came to this restaurant while we were on vacation & it was so good. Some got a ribeye steak while others got pizza & pasta. I was able to try a little of everyone's dish, but my favorite plate was the bruschetta appetizer. The waiters were all very nice & attentive to our party of 12. I would also very recommend their drinks. We ordered the raspberry & passionfruit lemon drops & they were both strong and tasty.

    Been about 6 years since our last visit to PV and La Dolce Vita is always on our dinner list. Happy to say it was as good as ever. They added outdoor seating since our last visit. Pesto is great there and one of my favorite salads.

    One of our favorite restaurants in PV. Great food. Reasonable prices. Friendly service. Lovely view. Highly recommend.

    September 26/2022: Dinner with Heather/Tony/Red & of course my Al. This was a solid meal. I'm not normally an Italian fan but this was very tasty. Our server "Mario" was very polite & patient. He worked with us for our best outcome. As a note, the restaurant was not busy. I started with just a salad, good but nothing to write home about. Also had the Chicken Parmigiana. It was very tasty but I was thinking a different dish, already in tomato sauce. This was sauce on the side. I found the portion size to be a little small but otherwise very tasty. I tried other dishes at the table. The pizza, the lasagna & pasta. All good but not great. This is a do over for a tourist place.

    I wasnt expecting much from an Italian restaurant on the Malecon but La Dolce Vita delivered. Delicious traditional italian with ocean views. They have an extensive menu. Pizza was exceptional

    Stopped by to try the pizza, and it was delicious. I was told by a friend who owns Paradise Burgers in Puerto Vallarta that the food is awesome as well. We noticed a gentleman (Vincent) enjoying a refreshing beverage and asked him what it was, next thing I know is the waiter is bringing us the same drink an Aperol Spritz which Vincent explained is very popular in Italy. Thank you Vincent for the cocktail. The restaurant is located on the Malecon in Puerto Vallarta. A hidden jewel.

    Salmon salad, Italian style.

    Located on the Malecon in Puerto Vallarta. Given that it's a very high tourist zone, the food and service are remarkably good. Started with a salmon salad appetizer which was absolutely delicious. Fresh tomatoes, crisp lettuce and tasty salmon in an Italian salad dressing . I decided on simple order of gnocchi in a tomato sauce as the main. The gnocchi was cooked at a perfect Al dente, not too hard or soft and the sauce was good. There were a lot of people and we got a table for two on the open air second floor. Efficient and professional service, reasonably priced and above average food. Go for it!

    Hey there! You absolutely *have* to hear about this mind-blowing dinner we just had! We ventured…read moreout to La Capella the other night, and honestly, it wasn't just a meal; it was an entire experience, fantastic from the moment we arrived until we reluctantly left. First things first, the setting is straight out of a postcard. Picture this: you're perched high up, gazing out at this unbelievably beautiful, sparkling blue sea, with an old, quaint church adding character to the horizon. It's truly a dreamscape, especially as the sun begins its descent, painting the sky with the most incredible colors. Seriously, it's the kind of view that makes your jaw drop and your worries melt away. Pure, unadulterated magic! Our evening was made even more special by our fantastic waiter, Jarod. What a star! He was genuinely charming and incredibly attentive, always there right when we needed him without being intrusive. He kept everything running smoothly, offered great suggestions, and truly made us feel like royalty. His warmth and efficiency really elevated the whole vibe of the night. And then, the food... oh my goodness, the food! It was nothing short of culinary perfection. I couldn't resist ordering my beloved pork osso bucco again - it's become my absolute favorite there, and for good reason! It arrived unbelievably tender, practically melting in your mouth, and every bite was an explosion of rich, delectable flavors. Just as phenomenal as I remembered, if not better! Honestly, every single dish that graced our table was impeccably prepared and utterly delicious. Seriously, if you're looking for an unforgettable dining experience, you *must* put La Capella on your list. And here's my golden nugget of advice: make sure to grab an early reservation. Trust me, you absolutely do not want to miss that breathtaking sunset; it transforms an amazing dinner into an absolutely legendary one. Go on, treat yourself - you won't it.

I made reservations a few weeks in advance and we were able to sit on the terrace to enjoy the views. They had live violinists (three!!) that were playing, it was so romantic. I loved the violinists, they were all so nice and friendly. I got the guava martini which was good and I ordered the spageti bolognese, which was tender and flavorful. The dish was solid with a nice presentation. They also brought out complimentary olive bread with parmesan grated cheese which was really good. The food and drinks are pricey! For the 4 of us including drinks and dinner, it ended up being almost $70 per person. Service was just okay, our waiter was a little stern and we had to flag to get his attention a few times. I would definitely come here for a special occasion, for the beautiful view and ambience.

    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.
