    We ordered the fried eggplant (melanzane fritte) and a pizza. I would say stay away from the eggplant - it was soggy and extremely oily. The pizza was okay but pretty dry with minimum sauce. We put the eggplant on our pizza and tried to make the best of a bad situation. I wouldn't recommend La Piazzett

    So you're in PV. And you're tired of street tacos. (Which is a total sin. But let's be blasphemous!) Step into this Italian pocket right here in PV! So tasty. So fresh! My recommendation is the Frutti di Mare! Essentially it's seafood pizza. Doesn't sound as appetizing in my translation, but DAMN! It's good! All pizza crusts are toasted by fire brick oven and I know that because I can taste it! It's crisp and has a crunch to the crust. The middle of the pizza is heavy due to all the tasty morsels! Ask for Parmesan and you will get a carafe of fresh grated parm! Best part is- you won't feel heavy after eating it! It's not like the carb overload you are used to! Now go ahead and plan to wait because the restaurant is busy. That's ok because you are getting something amazing! It's worth the wait! And the ambiance is everything PV!

    calamari, Silvano pizza or something like that. Apperal spritz

    we went to La Piazzetta twice in our one week stay. This was probably our favorite place and we went to a lot of establishments. food,the ambience, and the service are perfect.

    Great Food. Spectacular Staff. Beautiful setting ! The live music was also very nice, along with the sunset dining on the sand.

    Bill for to go food I left 200 pesos a tip  in cash

    The food was actually ok. I ordered food to go so I didn't look at it till I got back to my condominium. I ordered spaghetti Alfredo with chicken and got some sort of red sauce with meat

    Seeing all the positive Yelp reviews on the pizza For this establishment its like we must have eaten at a different restaurant than everyone else. There was a party of three of us where we all ordered different pizza's, the Quattro Stagione pizza, the Hawaiian pizza and the Ligano pizza. Based on each persons individual taste there was a general consensus amongst us that the pizzas were well cooked but quite bland. It is almost like they were missing the necessary seasonings that would give the pizza the flavor pop they so badly needed. Pizza aside, the restaurant has a lot of positives going for it starting with the facility which has a nice traditional Italian charm too it. The covered outdoor seating is also quite nice and adds a lot to the dining experience. Another huge positive is the restaurant has a fairly large wine list which was a bit surprising (in a positive way) as I had not expected to see this. Lastly the service was quite good with friendly wait staff and excellent follow up. As this was our first time here we all agreed with the three star rating based on the bland nature of the food and will adjust the rating if we have pizza here in the future and the flavor is there to justify a better Yelp rating.

    Sadly, La Piazzetta did not live up to expectations. My Quattro Stagione pizza was overpowered by a blue cheese taste (and little else). The other pizzas we got were good, but not excellent. The ambiance is great, but service was lackluster. Prices in line with the location.

    Beautiful sunken street corner patio.

    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.

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!!!!

From the moment you walk in, you find yourself in a different country. The pleasant ambiance with fully air conditioned space and welcoming smiles of the staff were the best appetizer besides the one the Chef offered - delicious fried calamari and shrimp. I'm bad with names so I unfortunately forgot the name of the young kind man who was assisting me with my dinner. He explained the meaning behind the 3 plates on the menu and further shared that the menu is changed periodically and that the entire team is involved. Including staff in decision making is highly valued in my world. Everyone is part of the family and feels the belonging. I could tell it was the case. I didn't want to drink alcohol so I opted for mixed berry drink. Amazing flavor. For main dish I had a steak with Fettuccine or Tagliatelle pasta in creamy sauce, corn and asparagus. The chef asked if I preferred the steak to be precut or in one piece. I opted for the first option. I finished with double espresso served in an espresso cup. The attention to detail was fantastic and assured me of the high quality of the restaurant. I've been to Italy over 20 times and ate at high quality places. The Tri Piatti resembles such high quality! Truly Italian experience. I will definitely recommend it to everyone I know (and I know a lot of people) and when I'm back in town I'll definitely visit again.

    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.

    **When your Airbnb is across from a spaghetti house, you really don't have a choice. **…read more I was staying in Puerto Vallarta with my Airbnb basically right across from Frankies Spaghetti House Zona Romántica, and I could literally smell the garlic bread from my patio. So obviously, I had to go. I was visiting during the slow season, which is honestly my favorite time to be in Puerto Vallarta. No lines, no waiting, no fighting for a table -- just walk in and enjoy. I started with a glass of wine, which was absolutely perfect, and then ordered the **lasagna**. Let me tell you... THIS LASAGNA WAS HUGE. It was such a massive portion that I ended up taking half of it back to my Airbnb. Honestly, two people could easily share one order and both leave completely full. And the best part? It wasn't just a giant portion -- it was **really good**. Exactly the kind of comforting, hearty Italian meal you want when you're on vacation. I'll definitely be back. Although next time, I might have to find an Airbnb across from somewhere else because having a restaurant that smells this good right outside your door is dangerous. **Frankie's is definitely going back on my Puerto Vallarta list! **
