Hey there! You absolutely *have* to hear about this mind-blowing dinner we just had! We ventured out to La Capella the other night, and honestly, it wasn't just a meal; it was an entire experience, fantastic from the moment we arrived until we reluctantly left. First things first, the setting is straight out of a postcard. Picture this: you're perched high up, gazing out at this unbelievably beautiful, sparkling blue sea, with an old, quaint church adding character to the horizon. It's truly a dreamscape, especially as the sun begins its descent, painting the sky with the most incredible colors. Seriously, it's the kind of view that makes your jaw drop and your worries melt away. Pure, unadulterated magic! Our evening was made even more special by our fantastic waiter, Jarod. What a star! He was genuinely charming and incredibly attentive, always there right when we needed him without being intrusive. He kept everything running smoothly, offered great suggestions, and truly made us feel like royalty. His warmth and efficiency really elevated the whole vibe of the night. And then, the food... oh my goodness, the food! It was nothing short of culinary perfection. I couldn't resist ordering my beloved pork osso bucco again - it's become my absolute favorite there, and for good reason! It arrived unbelievably tender, practically melting in your mouth, and every bite was an explosion of rich, delectable flavors. Just as phenomenal as I remembered, if not better! Honestly, every single dish that graced our table was impeccably prepared and utterly delicious. Seriously, if you're looking for an unforgettable dining experience, you *must* put La Capella on your list. And here's my golden nugget of advice: make sure to grab an early reservation. Trust me, you absolutely do not want to miss that breathtaking sunset; it transforms an amazing dinner into an absolutely legendary one. Go on, treat yourself - you won't it. read more
Came here for dinner my friend's 40th birthday. The place is beautiful with gorgeous ceiling and walls, and the view of the city is stunning. I made reservations a few weeks in advance and we were able to sit on the terrace to enjoy the views. They had live violinists (three!!) that were playing, it was so romantic. I loved the violinists, they were all so nice and friendly. I got the guava martini which was good and I ordered the spageti bolognese, which was tender and flavorful. The dish was solid with a nice presentation. They also brought out complimentary olive bread with parmesan grated cheese which was really good. The food and drinks are pricey! For the 4 of us including drinks and dinner, it ended up being almost $70 per person. Service was just okay, our waiter was a little stern and we had to flag to get his attention a few times. I would definitely come here for a special occasion, for the beautiful view and ambience. read more

This place was amazing. I took my reluctant teenager who said nothing looked good on the menu when we got there. Mind you, there was a very strep hill to climb to get there, probably 4-5 flights (stories). The view was spectacular, the restaurant immaculate, and the service top notch. I had the Caprese and I ordered the fettuccine Alfredo for my son. The Alfredo sauce was orgasmic, the best I have ever eaten. My son even liked it a lot! I'm definitely going back there. With those two dishes and a soft drink (bread was complimentary), our bill came to just under 800 pesos. The view alone was worth it. read more
Reaching La Cappella at night can itself feel like a bit of an adventure as you make the bumpy drive up the steep streets overlooking the coastline to reach Hotel Bellview - nestled at one of the highest points of the city. Once you reach your destination though and take your first step into La Cappella you're instantly transported to a little taste of Italy nestled in the heart of Puerto Vallarta. The main dining room felt like an actual restaurant you would dine at in an old castle in Italy and the view from the restaurant is worth the drive alone even if the food wasn't good (which it was delicious). Service was impeccable and the food was delicious. Our table started with the artisenal meat and cheese board which WE DEVOURED. It was one of the better charcuterie boards I'd had in a while. We also shared the caprese salad which was fresh and delicious. For my entree I went with the Filet Mignon which was accompanied by a goat cheese-stuffed chili pepper on a bed of mashed potatoes, all enhanced by a creamy sauce with three varieties of chili peppers. There was hardly a bite left when I was done with it. While we enjoyed our dinner violinists were walking around serenading guests and at one point fireworks even went off over the city by the cathedral the restaurant overlooks making for an even more spectacular dining experience. Make the adventure up the hill to enjoy the views, vibes, and tastes coming out of La Cappella. read more
I was crossing my fingers this wouldn't be a tourist trap -- and it turned out to be the BEST choice for our wedding anniversary! Easily one of the top 3 most romantic places we've ever been. The food was incredible: the grilled octopus, tomato bisque, and tuna tartare were all perfection. Service was excellent from start to finish, and the ambiance? Magical. I was smiling the entire night. Since it was our anniversary, we even renewed our vows here (in private) -- with the gorgeous view of Puerto Vallarta's iconic church as the backdrop. Truly unforgettable. If you're in Puerto Vallarta, this is the place to celebrate. Highly recommend! read more
Wonderful Italian restaurant in Puerto Vallarta. Old school Italian vibe here with white table cloths and panoramic views. We had beef carpaccio, a Caesar salad, and the colossal shrimp linguine, all were excellent. A bottle of red wine (from Mexico) finished the meal nicely. Service was excellent and attentive. Recommend for a high end meal amidst the less expensive options in the area. read more

Our hotel concierge said this was a great place for dinner and that was an understatement! When you walk into this masterful place it is essentially a historic monument and is full of beautiful architecture, paintings, chandeliers and more. The view out to the church and ocean is breathtaking and watching the sunset just melts anyone. If the views were not enough, the menu was fabulous and the chef's delivery was exquisite. I had chicken piccata with veggies as I had to be gluten free (normally it comes with fettuccine). My wife had the Fruitti de Mare which was chock full of amazing seafood with mussels, scallops, lobster tail and shrimp and fabulous fettuccini alfredo. I could only have a bite of the lobster tail but my wife looked like she was in food heaven. We had lime sorbet for desert as well Tiramisu. We also had a bottle of Chianti and a few drinks and there was absolutely nothing that could have gone better. Food, service, ambiance and view! To add icing on the cake, there were two violinists playing electric violins creating a mood beyond compare. This has to be one of the most outstanding restauran experiences of my life and I will be sure to go back every time I am in PV! This is a must go to place! And, the value for all of this was truly exceptional. This was all for about $225 USD and this should be a total five star restaurant in any city around the world! read more

Came to Caffè Cappella for my birthday dinner, and it was such a beautiful experience. The restaurant has immaculate views of the city and a really elegant atmosphere. The food was superb -- my sisters and I ordered steak, shrimp plates, and pasta, and everything was delicious. You really can't go wrong with anything on the menu. The service was 10/10. Definitely a perfect spot for a memorable dinner. I can't wait to go back!" read more
Enjoyed a wonderful dinner at La Cappella for my 50th birthday. Due to the size of my party, I had to email the restaurant and promptly received a response to confirm. (Please note that for parties of 6 or more, you will be required to leave a credit card on file. In case of a no-show, you will be charged $20 per person). The restaurant itself is absolutely breathtaking! It's beautifully decorated and has the most amazing view. The ambiance is unmatched. In addition to the beautiful decor, they have live violinists that serenade each table. Despite the large size of the restaurant, it feels extremely intimate. The service was amazing and our waiter was wonderful at responding to our questions and offering suggestions. (Worth noting that if you need separate checks, please make this known upfront. We were a party of seven and when they brought out check out, they were unwilling to split it. One person had to pay and be reimbursed which was a bit inconvenient for everyone). We had a wonderful experience here. I was perfect for a birthday celebration. The food portions were large and everything was delicious. read more
A wonderful combination of view , food and service! Worth the effort you won't be disappointed! Make certain you are at your table for sunset . Take your time the table is yours for 2.5 hours. The craft cocktails are a great way to start . Wine list offers choices however a bit pricey . The Lasagna is authentic , the pasta with giant shrimp in a light butter wine sauce won't disappoint ... Huge Shrimp yet tender ! Service was attentive and balanced not overbearing . Take a taxi this place is really not walkable and for those with mobility issues , be aware there are a few steps within the resturant . Parties of two will find the best tables at the railings other still have a great view. Can't be a bit breezy as the sun sets , but that is part of the ambiance . Worth the special effort to make a special memory ! read more

Such an amazing restaurant. To start, the ambience was so great, with the inside looking like an actual church. The view at sunset was absolutely stunning as well. Secondly, the service was also great, with the staff knowing English well and the food arriving at a good pace. Lastly, the food and drinks were amazing. We ordered 3 drinks, 2 salads, 3 mains, and a dessert, with all of it being pretty affordable. The presentation and taste of the food were also amazing. I 100% recommend this place to anyone looking to get a great meal with a nice view. read more

The ambience of La Cappella is hard to beat. We went at sunset and the view of the church was amazing. The food was just ok, classic Italian - you can't really go wrong. The service was just ok too- not over the top. We liked the violin player but he does come to each table and play very close to you which can be a bit uncomfortable. If you come to Puerto Vallarta it's a fun experience and very well priced. With that said, it was ok to experience once, I'm not sure I would go back. It didn't live up to the hype for me. read more
Food: La Cappella is one of our absolute favorite restaurants in Puerto Vallarta--especially when it comes to romantic dining. The Italian food is very, very good--thoughtfully prepared, full of flavor, and beautifully presented. While PV has no shortage of great restaurants, we personally think the food at La Cappella stands out--especially compared to nearby spots like La Iguana, which has a stunning ambiance, but in our opinion, doesn't quite match the quality of the dishes here. Ambiance: This place is magical. Easily our favorite romantic restaurant in Puerto Vallarta. It's set high up on a hill with breathtaking views of the city and the ocean--sunset here is something you'll never forget. There are usually 2-3 violinists playing throughout the night, and it creates this incredibly intimate, emotional atmosphere. My wife never cries, and she actually teared up when the violinist came over and played a song just for her. It's that kind of place. Location/Getting There: La Cappella is located in a hotel, but you'd never guess it once you're up there--it feels completely its own. That said, it's up a steep hill, so we highly recommend driving or getting a ride. You'll definitely be sweating if you try to walk it. Reservations: Make a reservation in advance. It's a popular spot and with good reason--especially if you want one of the best sunset tables. Price: It's on the higher end for Puerto Vallarta, but well worth it for the full experience. You're not just going for dinner--you're going for a moment you'll remember long after you leave. Service: Service is excellent--attentive, warm, and professional without ever being overbearing. They know how to make the night feel special from start to finish. Overall: La Cappella is a standout in a city full of amazing restaurants. It's romantic, emotional, and unforgettable--the kind of place you'll want to return to. If you're looking to celebrate something special (or just want a beautiful night out), this place is more than worth it. read more

I am a foodie and I can safely say this was the best meal of my life. The inside of the restaurant is charming but the city views are incredible. Jared was our waiter. He was super attentive and shared the history of the restaurant. He made our anniversary special! We had 2 appetizers: fried shrimp and caprese salad. Both were great. My shrimp ravioli had the perfect amount of zest and smoothness. Please do yourself a favor. Visit this place. Enjoy. read more

Thank you for share your review, Megan. We are glad to know that you…
Heard so many good things about this place which was just perfect for our visit to Puerto Vallarta. Reservations is a must, not sure if they offer walk in. It's located up in the hillside so if you're walking there, it's an uphill cobbled stone walk. From The outside, it does look like you're just in some random neighborhood but once inside, it's a completely different vibe. You enter through a walkway and greeted by the hostess. Candlelight embraces you which gives it the perfect ambiance. There's a bar to one side and the main dining area to the other. I believe there's also dining downstairs by the pool area as we seen it from the upper level. It's a pretty nice with the decors with the chapel feel. The whole restaurant is open air with views of the beach and city. I believe it's only for dinner but could be wrong. We were take care by Isaiah, who was outstanding and amazing. The sweetest and friendliest which is always a plus and made every easy. Down to drinks and food. We had a table right along the trellis which looked out to the chapel and beach. Perfect spot. Both drinks menu and dinner menu offered a good selections of dishes. We started with the lychee martini and spicy margaritas, both was excellent. Starter, the mussels in a thick tomatoes broth which was very flavorful and paired well with the seafood. Also the tuna tar tater, served different from how I'm normally used to but it was good. Seasoned well, with a sauce cucumber and tomatoes. Also had the French onion soup which was one of the special, it was ok. Nothing to rave about. Entrees, the linguine with the jumbo shrimp. The was excellent and the sizes of shrimp was great. The flavors were excellent and everyone was cooked well. Also the bolognese, that was excellent as well and flavorful. Food wise, excellent and full of flavors. Drinks, great as well. The service was amazing and excellent. Everyone was great. The view was amazing and to top it off, there was a firework show in the evening. Not sure if it was special occasions or nightly. As we were celebrating an anniversary weekend, they brought out a little platter with a sparkler and champagne to toast. The small gestures go a very long way. With this experience, and first time visit. This will definitely have us back as regular. Highly recommended. read more

The service and view is amazing. We made a reservation at least 3 weeks in advance, I suggest looking up when the sunset will be and making your reservation a little before then. There were live violinists when we visited, making the experience even better. They gave us a portion of cake and a tiny violin performance for my partner's birthday! Now for the food, it's okay. You're paying for the view and the experience, not the food. It's expensive, so look at the menu online and see if it's worth it to you. We ordered the mussels appetizer and the caprese salad, the former was decent and the latter was very good. Then for our main course, my partner had the rack of lamb and I had lobster Alfredo. The rack of lamb was delicious and so tender, but I was underwhelmed with my dish. The lobster tail was cooked perfectly fine, but the Alfredo was so mediocre for an Italian restaurant. Overall, if you are without an abundance of money to spend, I'd skip here. You can most likely find a fancy dinner experience without the high cost or at least better food. If you do have money to spend, I would come here only once for your entire lifetime. Personally, I'm sure I'll visit PV again, but you won't find me at La Cappella ever again. read more
Wow wow wow.. suck an amazing one of a kind experience. From the fantastic service to the amazing food and views, this is a can't miss experience. Started sharing a Ceaser Salad and finished with a delicious Fruti Del Mar with an amazing half lobster tail and butter over homemade pasta. Just amazing and truly delicious. I do wish the portions were smaller because I hated to waste some of the seafood. My partner has the Fettuccini Alfredo with shrimp that was equally delicious and an equally large portion. I guess better too much than too little. Although the desserts were tempting, I opted for a Chocolate Martini which was flawlessly done: The place also had 3 violinists which played beautifully and provided one of the best atmospheres I can remember. This place even out does The Iguana cafe. Thank you thank you thank you for one of the most wonderful memorable experiences in my lifetime. read more
We visited this restaurant on a recommendation from a friend and we are so glad that we did. Everything was fantastic. We started with specialty cocktails which were very tasty. The appetizer was mussels in a heavy spicy red gravy. They were huge and i still think about that sauce to this day. i had a steak entree and my husband had a shrimp and pasta entree. Both were phenomenal. We will definitely go back when we visit Puerto Vallarta the next time. read more

This restaurant was so amazing. Great treat for a date night or special occasion. I went on a Saturday night and had a lovely dinner. Super romantic with views of a giant Cathedral and live music at the restaurant. The ceiling of parts of the restaurant even reminded me of the Sistine Chapel. It was Italian style with some American classics. Bread came at the table served with oil and vinegar for dipping. We started with a Caesar salad and then shared "Linguine con Gambaretti Gigante" - jumbo shrimp pasta with lemon butter sauce, and "Filetto Di Legna Da Ardere" - Filet mignon served with a goat cheese stuffed ancho chile over mashed potatoes. The Caesar salad was super fresh and the croutons were nice and crunchy. The shrimp pasta was delicious, the sauce was rich yet crisp and refreshing from the lemon. Loved the meat, it was cooked perfectly medium rare and the chile with goat cheese added a nice, unexpected touch. We finished with a chocolate lava cake which had a lovely pour of molten chocolate from within. The live music made it a really unique experience and it almost felt like we had the whole restaurant to ourselves. Service was excellent; our food all came out hot and on time. I would definitely want to come back every time I visit PV! read more

The view, ambiance, and the food were out of this world. I cannot recommend this place enough. Johnathan was our waiter and he was knowledgeable on the menu (and had the most addictive little giggle). I took his recommendation on the Sea Bass and did not regret it. The food was a symphony of flavors. read more
