Wow! What a lovely meal! All aspects were fantastic! The location at the marina is beautiful, the wine list is diverse and delicious. As for the meal, it was fresh and lovely and I would return over and over again. If you are in the Puerto Vallarta area, La Terraza Di Roma is a treat! read more

It is a nice, clean, well decor, warm, inviting (Mexican) Italian place for dinner. They do have outdoor and indoor dinning. The menu is big, plenty of choices for veggian and meat eater. They do have full bar and good list of cocktails and wines. The service is nice and very friendly. The foods are just good and hit the spots as you would expected. They do have live music (per listed) but it just one older guy playing violin at mediocre level. Sometime, when he played songs that I knew and beloved, I just want to order harder liquors. Overall it was good, the cappuccino and the desserts are excellent, especially the panna cotta, just yum. Also, check your bill, cause they do added the tip (we asked what it was and they sort of not saying it, I do read Spanish so when I asked if it's a tip, they do reluctantly said yes). Just saying... read more

La Terrazza di Roma -- Excellent Food, Failing Management The kitchen and serving staff are genuinely impressive -- skilled, attentive, and professional without being intrusive. The food is consistently excellent. Unfortunately, two separate visits have been marred by rude, unprofessional behavior from management, which no amount of good pasta can offset. **Visit 1 -- November 28, 2025** My wife and I ordered lasagna and chicken parmigiana with a bottle of wine. The meal was excellent. Our bill came to 2,800 pesos before gratuity, and we asked the manager for change from a 500-peso note to tip both our server and the musician. He produced the change, but audibly grumbled throughout -- a petty response to a routine request in any full-service restaurant, let alone one positioning itself at the high end of the Puerto Vallarta market. I attributed it to a bad night and moved on. **Visit 2 -- May 14, 2026** The food again was outstanding: thinly sliced eggplant with dates and pine nuts, arancini al tartufo, gnocchi, and linguini. The servers were excellent. The hostess was not. We arrived at 6:45 p.m. and requested an outdoor table. The hostess told us none were available -- all reserved. We were seated inside. Over the next ninety minutes, the outdoor section remained nearly empty, with only a handful of those "reserved" tables ever occupied. We were dressed appropriately -- collared shirt, dress shorts, and shoes for me; a sundress for my wife -- so a dress code explanation doesn't apply. Being deceived about table availability is not a miscommunication. It is a lie. **Bottom Line** Two visits, two distinct incidents of management behaving in ways that would be unacceptable at a food truck, much less a fine-dining establishment. This is not bad luck; it is a pattern. If the owner is not the manager, I would strongly encourage them to evaluate who is representing the front of house. The kitchen deserves better, and so do the guests. There are many restaurants in Puerto Vallarta with welcoming hosts and gracious management. I will be dining at those instead. read more

Absolute gem! Loved sitting in the terrace with live music, good food, and great company. Our service was amazing: fast, attentive, and kind! I loved my meal, but beware, portions are humongous so I recommend sharing! read more

We enjoyed a dinner over the water last night. Our choices were lasagna, eggplant lasagna, rigatoni Rafaello and spaghetti bolognase, followed by tiramisu and profetiroles. Everyone enjoyed their meals and I loved the eggplant dish. Serving temperature could have been a little hotter though. read more

We were staying at the Marina and walked by this restaurant a few times a day and it always had a great crowd. We made a reservation (I recommend this, especially on the weekends) for outdoor seating on the deck overlooking the water. It was perfect from the location, professional friendly service, live music, and the food. We got a great bottle of local red wine and a couple of their Italian dishes. All of it was delicious and at a great price point. Each morning we went for a walk and probably stopped in here for breakfast a 1/2 dozen times. Wonderful huevos rancheros, mimosas, and blood Mary's. Added bonus they had a phenomenal acoustic guitarist during breakfast. An absolute must stop if you are staying in the Marina area. We will absolutely be back. read more

La Terraza Di Roma - Italian Near Me - Puerto Vallarta, JAL

While the ambiance, service, bread, and arancini were great, the pasta was NOT. I wish I could give 2.5 stars as 3 feels too high for bad entrees but 2 feels mean for how nice the staff is. There were three of us - got linguine with clams, ravioli, and penne arrabiata. None of them were good. Linguine and ravioli were the saltiest dishes I've ever tasted. I almost feel like they went to salt the pasta water and the top of the shaker broke, spilling the entire contents. I was able to eat about 3 raviolis before giving up. It was so salty my tongue stung for several minutes after. It was like I had been eating salt and vinegar chips all day. Linguine wasn't much better in the salt department. The clams were small but plentiful. Penne was very spicy, as told to me by someone who can typically handle their spice. She got through maybe 1/4 or 1/3 of the dish before giving up. None of us were able to finish our entrees. Really disappointing as the ambiance and service were top tier, and we really enjoyed the bread and arancini. We wanted to like the entrees so bad. I seriously cannot emphasize enough how salty the ravioli was. Do not order the ravioli, it is borderline inedible. I had ice cream afterwards and yet now, over an hour later, my mouth still feels salty. read more

It's wonderful to have a good Italian restaurant near our resort. We reserved a table over the water for a scenic view of the marina. My hubby enjoyed his lasagna and I fully relished my shrimp dish accompanied by tomatoes, asparagus and mashed potatoes. Yum! We also had the profiteroles for dessert. The waiters spoke English and were very attentive. We may be back next week before we head home. read more

Italian food in Mexico? Yes, I question that as well. However it was AMAZING! The pastas were so good, the shrimp was cooked perfectly and the chicken was also cooked uniquely. The pizza was extremely good too. The whole staff was SUPER friendly and extremely nice and accommodating. The restaurant was very clean and set up super nice. Check out the bathroom area of a bonus picture spot! read more

We had an excellent meal here with perfect service. We had reservations outside but opted for indoor dining because the humidity. We started with a bottle of wine. Nice selections of red at a good price. We opted for the Tempranillo. They brought the most wonderful bread to eat with olive oil and balsamic vinegar. We ate all six squares during our meal. I ordered the pasta with clams. Perfect white wine sauce with a lot of garlic. The plate had plenty of small clams. My wife ordered the pasta with a truffle sauce. She loved the dish. We ended up splitting a piece of tiramisu for desert. The food came quickly and the service great. read more

Beautiful setting on the Marina Vallarta, down amongst the yachts. Pastas were delicious. Very busy restaurant, in high demand.

Food was average I was disappointed from reading reviews. The beef carpaccio needed flavor the portion was huge however the flavor lacked. Service was slow but efficient. Sitting out on the deck was very nice and they had live music that was nice. read more

Let me start with the bread. It's focaccia and they make it while you wait. You cannot make it better yourself. Don't waste your time. We moved on to the calamari. We asked for spicy marinara sauce and that is exactly what they delivered. I wish I could bottle it and ship it home. read more

La Terraza Di Roma - Rigatoni - Italian Near Me - Puerto Vallarta, JAL

My wife and I didn't have reservations on a Saturday night but after about a 15 min wait we were seated. The food was amazing. My wife is gluten intolerant so asked for mashed potatoes on her dish instead of linguini and they substituted without issue. We sat inside in the AC which was a nice break from the heat in July but the outdoor patio is really nice and sits on the marina. Overall a great experience. read more

Great service, location and views. The food was only ok. Not much flavor for the Cesar salad or Fettuccine Alfredo.

Excellent Italian food for Mexico. The bread was excellent and the pizza looked great however I didn't order it. The truffle pasta, steak, shrimp and veal Milanese, calamari and the burrata were all very tasty, service and ambiance were great. You can not go wrong here. read more

We were hoping to sit on the deck over the water, or at least outside, but everything was booked 3 days before the day we reserved, so be warned! That said, our table indoors, across from the pizza oven, was very pleasant. My wife was transfixed watching the baker make many, many pizzas -- to the point that may need to take up pie-baking to make sure I have her full attention when I have important things to talk about! Our table of 4 was well served the entire evening, and the food was sublime -- the best we had in two weeks in Puerto Vallarta and Vidanta Nuevo Vallarta. Also, they had a much more extensive -- and palatable -- wine list than we found elsewhere. Other restaurants seem to push Mexican wines, which I've found simply don't measure up to much of the rest of the world (at least for the bigger reds I sampled). Unfortunately, prices are now nearly comparable to what I see in the States; perhaps 10% less, due in part to a weaker USD relative to Mexican currency, partly due to tremendous growth in tourists to PV the past decade (the PVR airport has the highest traffic in the country now), and partly due to popular restaurants learning that international visitors will pay. La Terraza appears to have several locations throughout the city, but the one at the Marina seemed to always be hopping from breakfast through late dinner. read more

Amazing - best Italian food in PV. Ambiance great, who gets tired of watching boats? Wine menu above par. Food exemplary! Service - 10 stars out of 5! Tip: sit on the patio by the edge and musicians will come and play for modest tips - some of the finest local music I have heard - really made the evening super charming. We will come back! read more

Very impressed. We sat in the area near the water at a comfortable, spacious table. There was a musician singing and playing the guitar - great songs and perfect volume. Food was good - focaccia excellent, pasta good (not the best we've ever had, but very solid). GLUTEN FREE pasta and other options!! Dessert and cocktails were A+++ read more

What a beautiful restaurant! We sat on the terrace overlooking the water and it looked positively beautiful with the twinkly lights. Dinner was delicious as well. It came with free bread (always a plus) and we got the rigatoni rafaello and a pizza. The pasta was the absolute perfect size for two of us and had a wonderful rich, meaty flavor with al dente noodles. The pizza had a homemade feel to it as well, very sizeable and fresh. Our server Al was so attentive- what a nice man! Best waiter we had during our stay in PV. Live music playing as well. And, to top it all off, about $25 USD for both the pasta and pizza together! Cannot think of any downsides to this place. Top-notch views, stellar food, and attentive service all for an extremely economical price. If you're in PV, please do yourself a favor and visit here at least once! read more

Cute location sitting on the marina. Fans helped make the environment comfy since no real breeze during our visit. But ambiance was stellar with a lovely older man playing live music for the diners. Service was top notch, never missing the chance to serve or assist with our needs. I enjoyed a delightful bowl of fettuccine, daughter had the Margherita pizza, while my husband ate the spaghetti cartoccio. Plates were large enough that we all had leftovers. Pricing was also fair. read more

I have no idea why this place gets so many stars. It took 20 minutes to get water. Pizza was tasteless. The Caesar salad had 4 leaves of lettuce and 5 croutons and cost 140 pesos. We were largely ignored and have been waiting 20 minutes now for drink refills. read more

Food is not good! We ordered three Entrees. Pasta not edible. Pizza too cheesy . Ravioli just not good!

I give this restaurant 4.5 stars but we only went there for breakfast/brunch. I know I know Italian restaurant known for dinner and we went to brunch. We were staying at a resort in marina vallarta and walked down the marina boardwalk to look for breakfast. It was hot out so we made a decision quickly after we saw the dining area over/on the water and a quick glance of the menu. We were seated along edge of the restaurant that sits over the water after being greeted by some iguanas. The ceiling fans bright some relief and every table was well sheltered by the large awning cover. We ordered French toast with Nutella and fruit, Chilaquiles with egg and chicken, Omelet Gusto with bell pepper, bacon and spinach. All were cooked perfectly and so much so that everyone had to try a bite from each plate. Each table gets a basket of toasted bread with jam and butter. A surprise treat. The coffee was delicious and the fruit smoothie was refreshing as well. The restaurant pops up in many searches for dinner but so glad we stopped in for breakfast. Staff was very welcoming and attentive and the prices very reasonable about $43 USD for 4 people. There was also so many fish in water viewable from our seats along with small crabs. I forgot there was a musician playing the guitar during our meal. Made for a great setting. read more

The food is so good here, we've been here twice in our short stay. It's amazing that Mexico has some of the best Italian food I've had outside of Italy :) We've tried a few different things on the menu and it was all amazing. You won't be sorry eating here! read more

Fabulous! Great location, live music, attentive service, great food! Definitely recommend.

Nice Italian restaurant with seating over the water in the harbor. The food selection was good. Prices mid-range. Service excellent. Seating over the water was a pleasant experience. read more

Nickel and Dime!!! They charge for everything. And then you don't even see it. As an example - Ordered Penne Alla Vodka - they charged for pasta, then 250 MXN for vodka and then 200 MXN for vegetables. So the dish came out to be ~ 700 MXN. The quantity is so little that we had to order one more. And we could barely see vegetables. Same thing for other dishes. And they even add the tip without asking. When lunch costs more than $300 in Mexico, it's pricey!!! read more

Food was OK, but absolutely worst service. Took over an hour to get us our food and it came out one at a time.

Lovely setting on the pier at the marina in PV. The food and service were both excellent. Live music is always a plus. Highly recommend.

Great location.! We had penne pasta and bruschetta. Very tasty. Delightful service. It's located right on the marina. We spotted not one or two but three iguanas. They are domesticated. read more

We enjoyed a lovely dinner in the terrace over the water. My order was linguine de lemon. A great dish with a creamy lemon sauce. The pasta was perfect and the flavor was just right amount of lemon. My wife ordered the tagliatelle bolognese. Another delicious dish. Thick flavorful bolognese with meat and wide noodles. We were both very pleased with our dinners. Service was top notch and the ambiance was exceptional. If you choose La Terraza di Roma ask for seating on the terrace over the water. read more

Very good! Had calamari and a pizza with a bottle of wine! Great ambiance ! We sat outside on the water... very great service!

We were staying at the Westin and wanted something walking distance that wasn't Mexican Food. This is a cute place right on the Marina with great views. We ate outside which was very romantic with the lights. We ordered the calamari for an appetizer, it was delicious! A must try!! They also bring fresh, warm focaccia bread, so good! For dinner I had the crab raviolis. They were very good, but just a little too heavy for me. My fiancé ordered the spaghetti Al Cartoccio which was basically a seafood pasta that he loved. Great place if you are looking for something other than Mexican food. Service was good too! read more

Great food, but slow service... The margaritas are very good, the tuna carpaccio and caprese excellent. It's nice they have an air conditioned inside area cause sometimes you just need to eat in cool air. My husband also raved about the bolognese sauce too. If you are craving Italian and in the marina area this is a sure bet! Only minus was the MIA waiter, it took forever to get the check and to pay. Almost forgot really good focaccia bread served in a huge basket! read more

We dined on the deck over the water which provided a very relaxing atmosphere, especially with the guitarist who entertained while dining.

Great food. Only negative was the caprese salad served with unripe tomatoes. Great service and nice surroundings. read more

This retaurant is walking distance from the Westin Hotel. We have had drinks and appetizers at this place on the water in the past and decided to try it for breakfast. It is a lovely spot with a part of the restaurant on the water and another part overlooking the marina area. They specialize in Italian food. We wanted to sit in the area overlooking the water and asked to wait for a table overlooking the water and Mrina. The wait was not too long and we were seated at a wonderful table right on the rail overlooking the water. We ordered eye openers from the bar, which took a long time. It was taking a long time just to get them to take our breakfast orders too. At least the view and ambiance were so nice that the waits were bearable. When the food came, my husband's eggs (benedict) were very hard. We did not send them back because it took so long to get the entrees in the first place. My Huevos Divorciodos on the other hand were excellent!! Eggs cooked perfectly and dish was delicious. the stars are more for the restaurant location and the ambiance - the service could use some help and improvement read more
