Service was great. Atmosphere also great. Food was just ok. Ordered the calamari/shrimp appetizer. Chewy and didn't taste fresh. Cesar salad was bland except for the garlic in the dressing. Which I love. Ordered a pizza. Pretty bland but the crust was perfect. read more

Location is excellent, across the avenue from La Isla upscale shopping mall in Zona Hotelera. We wanted a light meal so we ordered pizza. Toppings were very good but the crust was thin and hard, burned on the edges. Our server was friendly and helped us with our beginner level Spanish. Overall nice experience read more

Ambiance was really pretty, service was prompt and friendly. Ordered shrimp in lemon garlic sauce, chicken Parmesan, and a pizza. We left with our bellies full. All items hit the spot. Would recommend. read more

I choose this restaurant to conclude my last night as a first time solo international traveler. And I can say that I do not regret my choice. It was a great choice and the food did not disappoint. This place was only a 10 minute walk from my hotel. It was kinda different that I had multiple servers. (Not sure how they split the tip) but that were all very nice. This place has a romantic ambiance that is perfectly suitable for a nice intimate dinner alone, a birthday dinner, or any type of dinner that requires an intimate vibe. I am such a fan of dimly lit places. I definitely recommend! read more

Not a bad place to fulfill our Italian craving in PV. . We had: 1) Pizza Fantasia (aka meat lovers pizza) $242 pesos - delish and would get again. Put some olive oil, chili flakes and fresh parm on and you're cooking with gas ; and 2) Spagetti Mari e monte - $252 pesos - also tasty with same trick. This has bacon, shrimp, tomato's and a touch of cream. Unique taste and would recommend. . Both were delish and reasonable price. Overall, speedy service, friendly and nice restaurant. I would recommend taking their upsell on bread as regular wasn't amazing. Rest was . Also has nice ambiance. read more

Service was excellent. The setting was very upscale. Unfortunately the lasagna was just okay. I don't know how they prepared it but it didn't seemed baked out of an oven. read more

Is it kind of sad that one of my favorite places we ate at Puerto Vallarta was a pizza joint? The pizzas were a good portion, and not sure if they put something in the sauce, but it was addicting. We ate pizzas from here twice during our time in Puerto Vallarta. The restaurant was pretty close from our hotel, so we went here after shopping at the mall, and the second time, we were in our hotel and made the walk to get some pizzas to go. If you're looking for solid pizza, try this place out! read more

No lie outside of Pepe's, this is the best meal I had in PV. First off the restaurant is beautiful okay?! The pizza was so good, I could have finished the pie off myself. Glad I didn't shy away from dessert because THE TIRAMISU! Omg. Can I get on a flight and have that serving again for 168 pesos. Love it. Will be back if I'm ever in PV. read more

Food looks better than it tasted. Service started well, but somewhere along the way, it seems we were forgotten about despite us being seated in a highly visible area. We started with a waitress, halfway through we believe it changed to another person although we were never informed and still saw our initial waitress walking around, so we didn't quite know if we were waiting for her to come back or should be asking questions of the new waiter. Margherita pizza was okay. The one with added mushrooms was better than the one without. Both pizzas needed to be baked longer as the bottoms were pale and flimsy. Spaghetti bolognesa had an odd after taste. Complimentary bread as well as the garlic bread lacked in flavor and texture. Chicken parmigiana had a nice crunch, but make note that it comes with bland mashed potatoes and steamed veggies (not spaghetti). Fettucine Alfredo is a bit on the lemony side which I didn't mind. Although we wanted to order dessert, we didn't because getting a waiter's attention seemed to be more than it was worth at that point. In other news, prices were cheap and the restaurant has a really nice and cute feel to it. read more

Delicious food and excellent service. The seafood linguine was delicious and fresh. My kids loved the bolognese! The chocolate gelato was actually out of this world. So good!!! read more

Service ok, asked for an addition, Salmon to be added to my pasta. It came is individual smaller square pieces. It was very fishy, which led me to think it was tin fish, not a fresh fillet as I was expecting. Stick with the ordinary menu. When we were paying we put out all our cash and asked them to put the rest on our card. We offered a tip at just over 10% and they asked me if that was all I was giving, seemed a little direct and rude given the average service. read more

We were very happy with our meal at La Dolce. We split a large salad and pizza-delicious! The restaurant is spacious, modern, and food great. But the service was exemplary!!! I was so impressed! We can't wait to return and try more of their extensive and interesting menu. Gracias, La Dolce! read more

Excellent service. As soon as we walk up the stairs, the doors were opened for us and we were immediately greeted. Very nice ambience. Our waiter, Hector, was very attentive to our needs and super friendly. Prices were very reasonable. We each had a side salad and split the Ferrari pizza, which had prosciutto and mushrooms. The pizza is wood fire and is sooooo good. We then split a tiramisu for dessert and gobbled that up as well. We will definitely be back!! This is one of our new favorites in PV. read more

Food, delicious. Environment-rough. Came for 10 yr anniversary and started off great until a table of 2 women took up a 6 person table with children. I don't mind children, but all they did was run around the restaurant screaming at each other and it ruined every moment. Other than that- have fun. read more

Excellent food- we walked across the street from our all inclusive resort that has left a lot to be desired. We just wanted ONE good meal before we left for home.

We are in Puerto Vallarta for two weeks for our wedding anniversary. La Dolce is right across from Where we were staying. We LOVED the restaurant so much, we have eaten there 3 times in the 10 days we have been here so far. Our food server for the last 2 times was Hector. He was so friendly and attentive. He provided exceptional service!!! The food is amazing; from the handcrafted pasta to delectable pizzas, everything was awesome. The restaurant is great location for celebrations. They have a song they play in the restaurant and a firework that goes on top of the dessert. We highly recommend this restaurant!!! read more

Gluten free options so you know thats a plus. Looks super expensive but actually really affordable and yummy. I got the 3 cheese gluten free pasta and my friend got pizza. I got wine they got soda. I think we paid like $15 us each, if back in pv im going to make a point to come back here read more

We are here our first night in Puerto Vallarta and the food was great. Loved the Beef Medallions. The Alfredo sauce for fettuccine is also very good, especially as leftovers the next day. On our last night, the kiddos wanted to return and again our meal was great. Raymond worked with us on some of the pickiness of my children and brought us some plates that were a little customized. My kids have never had lasagna (just knew their limits so never offered). Tonight I was craving it and they felt like trying it. I ordered it with Alfredo sauce to cut the acidity of the red sauce. The lasagna was excellent and with the Alfredo sauce it was very good (in my opinion). read more

Food is great, and not too expensive. Ambiance is gorgeous. Great spot when you need a little treat away from tacos, etc!

2017. Lovely Italian pizza & fabulous lasagna- great atmosphere & friendly entertaining staff. My review is short yet we just loved our visit. RETURNED 2018- just as special as last visit. My wife had spinach cannelloni- test if us returned to lasagna. Fabulous lasagne. Had trouble finding dry red wine - after several attempts. Otherwise marvelous dinner. We appreciate the family upscale atmosphere. When we lodge near marina we can't taxi downtown every night do this is a good compromise location- offer both inside AC tables and outside tables. I would say 4.5 stars. read more

Never ever ever go here. Horrible!!!!! The waiter was rude to begin with when we didn't order alcohol drinks or appetizers for the whole table. If I could give negative stars I would. We ordered: The Chicken parm had no pasta and was dry The Mare salad seafood was tough and small The pasta dishes had barely any pasta The mojito had no alcohol Calamari in red sauce with the calamari being tough the sauce was good We are not given any napkins to start off with. They plopped a bottle of olive oil and balsamic down on the table with no plate to mix it. The butter tasted like lard. We asked if we could have meatballs and were told very rudely how they don't do that, in fact every time we asked for stuff it was basically "we don't do that here". Our initial rude waiter never came back to the table. Then right when we paid the bill still sitting there the waiter picks up the bill and stares at the tip in front of us!!!! Do NOT eat here you will have crappy service and awful Food!!!! read more

La Dolce Vita - How messed up is this that I come to the restaurant to order a pizza to GO & 15 minutes later a manager walks up to me and says that it's going to take over an 1 hour to get my pizza but if I sit at the table I might be able to get it within 25 minutes what's wrong with this picture I should have taken him up on his offer to sit at the table to get my pizza within 25 minutes and then said can I have a box to go please ? I will never come back to this restaurant again read more

Good place to go when you're tired of Mexican food. Pizza was very well cooked and tasty! Service was great and so nice.

Having eaten nothing but Mexican food for a few days while in Puerto Vallarta, I was craving something else to eat, and La Dolce happened to be right across the street from our condo, so we walked over and had dinner. The restaurant is nice and yet still casual, there is a bar with outside seating and if you prefer to get out of the heat, right through the glass doors is inside eating with air conditioning! The service was excellent, the waiters were super attentive, constantly keeping our sodas and waters filled. The bread they bring the table while waiting was very good too. My wife opted for a simple dinner salad, and I gave their pizza a try. The couple we were with ordered the lasagna and another pasta dish I cannot remember what it was though. We started off with some calamari, it was pretty good, nothing spectacular, but good. My wife's salad, well..it's a salad, can't really do much with that. The pizza was decent, again nothing outstanding, but definitely was good. The lasagne I tried a bite of, and although it had good flavor, it was a bit over cooked and a bit charred. This wasn't the best Italian food I've ever had, and also not the worst. If you're looking for something a little above average with incredible service and nice atmosphere, La Dolce is definitely worth the try. read more

The pizza dough is really good.... their bread is also exceptional... the prices are fair... we ordered the Margherita pizza... it was ok... but like I said the dough is really good so it made up for the flavor... the traditional spaghetti was good... the sauce was actually really good... the pasta was slightly over cooked.. I like it all dente... but over all its a good pizza place... nice service and nice decor with good food... their ice tea and lemonade is super good (something I've noticed vallarta is really good at is their lemonade!... it's not as excessively sweet as it usually is back I the states)... anyways.. I would definitely stop here again read more
