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.

When I walked up at about 7:30, no one was around and the staff was chatting at the bar. I was…read moreofficially the start of the dinner rush! Y the end of the meal the place was full. There was a 300 peso set menu with stuffed chicken and some wine but I preferred to have some seafood pasta tonight. I ordered a can of coke and was given the sugar free coke. Yuck! My dish was well done. It was a little salty and the Mussels were a bit fishy tasting. The penne pasta was nicely done. The sauce was light and garlicky. The shrimp and the calamari were excellent! The worst part was that they were out of tiramisu! I was left a bit hungry still because the portion wasn't great in size. But for basically $8, I can't complain. Also, the obnoxious drunks next door at a bar were over the line a bit. God damn drunk touristas.

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.

Ate here about 5 times, i swear i left a review each time, must have never went through…read more I owe this place a amazing review probably a 4.7 out of 5 (they only allow a 4 or a 5). So ill try and incorporate what i recall in my stay in Dec -Jan. Absolutely loved the exterior perfectly situated in a corner where probably the most popular area in Zona Romantica for restaurants. There are about 6 amazing restaurants seemingly within 50 feet of each other. I was blown away by how inexpensive some of my selections were. Had the Fettuccine Alfredo 5*, Linguine and clams 4.6*, Lasagna 2x 5*, and Pizza 4.5* not a good leftover pizza cheese is different then American cheese. Excellent attentive service, the ambiance and energy, vibe is incredible especially at the bar met some good folks. The thing that got me was in Phoenix/ Scottsdale anything like this atmosphere and food is easily 35-45$ with a cocktail, i was consistently around 20$. Also loved that it had a fell of upscale but you could fell comfortably in casual attire. Definitely my first stop when i return to Zona.

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.

Soooo tasty. I will definitely be back :)

Hortensia, the owner of Hortensia Honesty, overheard our conversation and immediately came over with the kindest attitude and said, "I can make something for you." Her energy and genuine care were impeccable. 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. Hortensia truly made us feel at home, and her kindness and compassion are something that cannot be easily described. She went above and beyond to provide outstanding customer service. Not only is she an amazing person, but the food was also delicious, and the atmosphere and location are wonderful. We highly recommend this place--not only for the quality of the food, but also for the exceptional hospitality and care that make you feel like family.

We ordered a salad and a pizza and were delighted by the amuse buche of bruschetta offered to us.

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.

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! **
