We started with excellent cocktails: a Margarita for my wife (the first of two) and a mezcalrita for me. An on-the-house Caesar salad was followed by a deliciously spicy, garlicky shrimp appetizer served in a bubbling, boiling cauldron. Both of us had fish mains--a local whitefish with a piquant sauce named after chef/owner Roberto Gonzalez and sea bass for me. Four stars for my wife's fish; one star for my overcooked sea bass. I mentioned my disappointment to our server who compensated us with dessert. Service was okay. The place was packed with high-spirited turistas and staff were definitely hustling!

By the way, I'm a red wine drinker and the Chilean Cabernet was very nice.

The concierge at my hotel suggested that, for a quick bite, I walk to a restaurant that he marked on my map. It was only three minutes away. That restaurant was shuttered and closed, despite it being only 8pm on a Saturday. So I went next door and found Chenando's. The prices looked a little steep, but I was hungry and ready just wanted some soup, which was on the appetizer menu. Despite the heat, I love soup and find that soup in Mexico has never let me down. I went in and was seated immediately with a smile. I only brought a little cash with me, because even though this area feels very safe, I was a solo lady with intermediate Spanish, at best, at night, in a new place. This place did not take credit, much like almost every other place in Puerto Vallarta. I asked if they could make the tortilla soup with chicken, since I wanted to get at least a little protein, and the waiter happily obliged. You guys. Holy shit. I come to Mexico at least three times a year, trying out different cities. This might have been the best meal I've had in all of those trips. It was easily the best tortilla soup of my life. The chunks of avocado were so soft and had absorbed the flavor of the soup. They melted like butter in my mouth. THEN there was the bread! I don't even know what it was. Sort of like Hawaiian rolls, but toasted. Freaking awesome. If I wasn't so full from the soup, I would have stuffed all three giant pieces in my face. I could only do one. They asked how it was and I announced that this was the most delicious soup of my life. The two other tables had couples dining who enthusiastically agreed that the food here is next level. One couple from the Netherlands said they come here three times a year. From the Netherlands. To eat here, specifically. Yeah, I could see that. Altogether, my bill was 155 pesos, just under $9 USD. Hell yeah. They even gave me chocolate covered raisins with my bill.

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.

It was very pleasant while we were there. We ordered our cocktails. The berry margarita was presented very nicely but the flavor was missing some kick and wasn't overly special. For our meal we shared the ceviche Yelapa, combo shrimp and octopus. It was very large and tasty. It could have used more avocado, cilantro, and also needed a bit more lime flavor. We ordered shrimp pastor and the octopus chicharron tacos, shrimp and steak burrito, and the La Blondie tostada. The octopus was the best. Unfortunately the blondie didn't meet our expectations. There was definitely a spicy kick to everything and the accompanying salsa was extra spicy as well. Overall, I can recommend this based on the great menu and decent food preparation, but it honestly wasn't my favorite of many other options in PV. One thing that bothered me a bit were the two hawkers selling their wares. They were harmless, but it was less than desirable to experience that.

The Ceviche Yelapa was a simple but refreshing mixture of shrimp, octopus, red onion, tomato, cucumber, cilantro, avocado, and lime juice. The Black Aguachile was a beautifully-plated dish of raw shrimp layered with a spicy black sauce made of chargrilled habanero and soy sauce, but the sauce was way too salty and overwhelming in flavor. One of my favorite dishes was the Octopus Chicharron Tacos, made of crispy deep-fried pieces of octopus, served with guacamole, lettuce, and habanero mayonnaise on blue corn tortillas. The tacos had a nice combination of crispy, salty octopus with creamy guacamole and spicy habanero mayo. From the cooked dishes on the menu, we got the Grilled Octopus, a small whole octopus marinated and grilled in Yucatán recado and served with sweet potato chips, salad, and a creamy banana pepper and tomato sauce; as well as the Catch of the Day, a thick filet of mahi mahi topped with ajillo (a non-spicy pepper with a citrus flavor), and served with mashed potatoes, salad, and buttered vegetables on the side. Overall, the creative dishes here were all tasty (though I wasn't a fan of the overly salty black aguachile), and the atmosphere and service were casual and no-frills.
