Red Velvet cake.

Cuisine, Location, Service, and Ambiance all A1. We live in Puerto Vallarta so tacos are in abundance but when I feel like I want to "dine" I come to Bravos.

Chicken cordon bleau

Fancy and tasty! A creative menu, each person was happy with their choice, although the pork chop was the number one favorite. Black Mambo cocktail was an experience- with a unique flavor. The finishing affogato was perfect. Definitely recommend this restaurant

Coconut ginger flan
Phylicia H.

Absolutely delicious restaurant that is very international like the signs says. All indoor dining and the decor is very simple and homey. My family and I came here for Easter dinner and had a great experience. For appetizers, we ordered the calamari and bistro salad. The calamari was cooked to perfection and was not heavily breaded, which I loved. The dressing on the salad was very refreshing and just what we all needed. For entrees, we ordered the famous braised short rib, Cajun spicy jambalaya and carbonara pasta. Everything was outstanding, but the only dish that was just okay was the jambalaya. It was very spicy so if you love heat that is a great dish to order. The pasta came with a generous amount of bacon and was so creamy and delicious. Short rib was pull apart tender. Wish it came with a tad bit more sauce but absolutely delicious and would recommend. For dessert, we each ordered our own. Portions were enormous that we had to get it all to go. Ordered the churros, ginger coconut flan, carrot cake and cinnamon bun. Churros was the winner for me! For drinks, we ordered the margarita bravos and Cadillac which did not disappoint. Highly recommend coming here for a great dinner.

Caprese salad
Craig Y.

What a fabulous experience. I definitely recommend this restaurant. I went on New Year's Eve. No reservation. They found me a seat. The food and the service was awesome. The bread and butter was great. They recommended a half bottle of wine which was great. I had a Caprese salad and then mahi-mahi over risotto. It was as good as any meal I have had anywhere. I will absolutely return.

Wedge salad. (Split for us)

Tre Piatti = three dishes, is located right next to Don Chava at Calle Venustiano Carranza 212 with…read moreshared entrance to the right side. 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.

The view can be beat anywhere in PV and PV is my home away from home. Book early. Truly 5* dining. Every second from arrival until taxi or driver picks you up. During high season you even need reservations for the bar. That's how incredible this restaurant is. If I could give a six star I would give it Dress: resort dinner, not resort casual Yes that's it. The violins playing are just the icing on the cake. Not too loud to interfere with hearing impaired (I have one). Perfect for all ages with help through entry.

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.

She took the time to suggest ingredients and created a delicious soup specially for my husband so that he could still enjoy a flavorful meal while staying on his liquid diet. The recipe she prepared was absolutely amazing. What impressed us the most was how welcome and comfortable she made us feel.

We ordered a salad and a pizza and were delighted by the amuse buche of bruschetta offered to us. The salad had a lot of substance - we let them know we were splitting and they pre split the plate, which was nice. The crisp apples went well with the dressing and greens. 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. Would certainly drop by again, many of the pasta dishes looked amazing.

**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! **
