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.

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.
