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!!!!

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.

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!

The pizza was large and pretty with lots of great toppings. The crust didn't quite do it for me - felt a bit plainer, but it was certainly serviceable.

We passed it over and over, having an inexplicable hankering for Italian food in a Mexican coastal city. So, we finally gave in and gave it a try during the uncomfortably hot part of the afternoon. So, I was pleasantly surprised when the server turned a fan on us and we were comfortable in the shade. The café is open air and well placed for people watching if you enjoy that sort of thing. While we were seated and elderly local woman who was sweet as can be walked up to us and carried on a very one sided conversation in Spanish without ever entering the restaurant. She said "Llámame 'mamá'." Then walked off. Priceless. The food was surprising and delightful. I ordered a Philly Cheesesteak, which seemed risky in Mexico but was spot on. She had the bowtie spinach pasta, which was light, creamy, and flavorful. The garlic bread was generic and a bit over-toasted for my taste. Service was great and prices were reasonable. We enjoyed our choices and would recommend based on that. I can't speak to the pizza or lasagna, about which others have had negative things to say.

**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! **
