Had dinner here at this charming rooftop restaurant. The weather was nice and we really enjoyed the view. After being seated we ordered a caprese salad and a bottle of Tempranillo. The salad was great with fresh tomatoes, good slices of mozzarella, basil, and a nice balsamic glaze. Two of us ordered the carbonara, another the pizza, and shrimp Alfredo. Big portions of food that was delicious. We decided to split a piece of lava cake among the table. We had a great team of waiters that took care of us throughout the meal.
For my final dinner while visiting PV, I chose La Traviata which just happened to be one block away from my hotel in the 5 Diciembre zone. This restaurant is located on the 5th floor of the Paloma Del Mar hotel. Just take the elevator to the 4th floor and then it's a short walk up one flight of stairs to the entrance. A big selling point of this restaurant is its open air design with a full roof but open sides for amazing views of the town with the water being 5 short blocks away. This is a great place to experience sunset. In the middle of the floor plan is a full bar with all of the dining tables placed around it. There really isn't a bad seat but I got lucky and snagged a corner table facing the beach. It was a really nice setting. I ordered the Fragole salad for $195 mxn and the Rosa seafood pasta entree for $360 mxn. A nice bread basket arrived first with flavored whipped butter and delicious sliced bread. Then the Fragole was delivered and I was very happy with its taste and freshness. It had spinach and arugula along with chopped nuts, Parmesan, strawberries and cranberries in a mango flavored vinaigrette and was excellent! Finally the entree arrived in a bowl. The Rosa had fresh seafood with clams, shrimp and fish with pasta that I chose (penne) mixed in a pink cream sauce. I loved this dish. Tasty, flavorful and filling. I would order it again. Also the table service was very good. Come eat here for a very nice atmosphere, nice view (especially sunset), great food, very good service and reasonable prices. Reservations are recommended especially to experience sunset.
Great view during sunset. Food and service are good. It's located on the top floor of a hotel. Worth giving it a go.
I'm not understanding these reviews. I came by on my last night in PV wanting some Italian food and to check out the awesome view. What I got was dissatisfaction and disappointment. The bread was cold and hard. The olive oil was not good at all...just cause it's free doesn't mean it should taste like nothing. The calamari...I have never seen such a pitiful calamari...it's almost as if they served me the crumbs. Even after informing the waiter about the condition he replied that perhaps they gave me a bigger serving because the pieces were small. The caprese salad was missing a vital ingredient...the basil. They literally made it a salad with greens and olives. The calzone was extra crispy but not in a good way. I've had better at sparro at the mall food court. Overall I'd recommend this for a glass of wine and the sunset...you're better off eating from one of the street vendors. The service was excellent but I would not come back.
We really enjoyed La Traviata. Great food and staff. The views are fantastic and the atmosphere is amazing. I'm looking forward to visiting again soon.
Beautiful place, gorgeous views, excellent service, good food. NOTE: Entering the restaurant "hotel" entrance, you take an elevator to top floor, then climb stairs one level to the rooftop restaurant. We came for dinner, about 40 minutes before sunset. We were treated to views of Puerto Vallarta, Banderas Bay, and the setting sun -- the combination making a spectacular scene. The service was excellent. I ordered a dirty martini, and got to taste a piña colada - which were both delicious and worthy of photos with the sunset. Our appetizer was the Capresse salad, excellent. Main dishes, I got the vegetarian lasagna, which was delicious. Also ordered was the penne pasta pesto with shrimp.... Mmmm, we didn't care for this dish. I love pesto, but this was overloaded and a bit dry for my tastes. That said, we had more than enough to share, so the penne pesto served more as a side dish as we shared the lasagna. As a whole, the meal was great. During dinner, the background music was replaced by live music of vocals, guitar and saxophone. I'm not sure if if that sped up the sunset or slowed it down, but I do know I didn't want to leave. Oh... Don't forget dessert -- we had the traditional Tiramisu. We ordered one tiramisu with two spoons.... Next time I'm getting two tiramisus with one spoon. We loved it here, and I think you will too. Until next time...
This is a nice spot for dinner! Our Airbnb was up the hill from the location so all we had to do was walk down and around the corner to get there. Upon arrival, it was very lively with dim lighting. Looked like the perfect spot to have a date or a birthday party. We were seated promptly when we arrived. The service was good, no issues with us speaking English. I order te margarita Jamaica and it came in a huge goblet! The drink was very tasty and lasted me all dinner. It's on a roof top, so we got to watch the fire works from a distance! There was also live entertainment with a singer who played the guitar. It was great! Our food and drinks were delicious. I would totally come back when I'm in PV!
So I ordered from Uber eats. Delivery was perfect. For the price of 195 pesos the pizza is tiny & left a lot of room in the box. It has like 5 total prices of salami cut up & hardly any onion or jalapeño. The lasagne was tiny too came in a little aluminum tin with 2 tiny prices of bread & butter. Now with that being said it was all very good. The flavors were great for Italian in Mexico. I asked for crispy on the pizza. It wasn't. The bread had some herbs in it but come on. It was super small pieces of a baggette. The lasagne was great but needed sausage in my humble opinion & some béchamel. Overall happy but felt like tht cheated me. The lasagna has a little pieces of Bay leaves in it that I had to keep pulling out. That's my beef with Uber eats when you go to the restaurant you'll get much larger amounts I find and then when you order it to go they are tiny. Yes I would go to the restaurant next time for the view & to get the gnocchi which I know is best eaten fresh
This place a very nice spot for dinner - spectacular views! Most people here seemed to be celebrating a special occasion. We happened to pop in for dinner during our trip as we wanted something different. We started off with a bottle of Chardonnay and a bottle of Malbec, both were good but I favored the Malbec. For appetizers we ordered the calamari and charcuterie board. The calamari and the sauce it came with was really good! The charcuterie board was a little small but came with the sweetest (in a good way) strawberries. As for our meals we ordered pizza and pasta. Their pizza was better to me - it was a nice thin crust, we got the seafood pizza and salami with chili peppers. I would recommend either! As for their pasta, it was good, but nothing to rave about. I've had better, but I don't think it took away from the experience/ambience. If you're feeling like Italian food in PV then I'd stop by to curb the craving!
I had had enough Mexican food. I was looking for a place near my hotel. Being that I love pasta, I chose La Traviata based on good ratings and sunset views. The place is on the fifth floor and above a hotel. If you're mobility impaired, it will be challenging to get to the restaurant. The elevator only gets you to the fourth floor. For beverage, I ordered a basil limeade. It was refreshing. The bread served with garlic butter is delicious. For my entrée, I ordered a fettuccine pasta with marinara sauce. The pasta was al dente and the tomato sauce delicious. I arrived during sunset so the view is spectacular. And they do accept credit cards. It's easy to run out of pesos with the many cash only businesses. I highly recommend La Traviata.
I have visited this place 3 times. The first time I visited was a complete 5 star .Prices were great and food quality was over the top. The second time I visited there was a price jump but the customer service remained awesome and so did the food quality still a 5 star . This last time I visited was April 1, 2023. The price has jumped noticeably but with the view and customer service you get here that's to be expected now and days. What really shocked us were the portions of the food. They are noticeably smaller. The food quality has also dropped since our first two visits. It could have just been the cook that we got that day but we were able to notice. Overall I still give this place a solid 4 stars. Drinks, customer service , the view , and the food are still better than other places we have tried. I will add more pictures of our recent platters once I get them downloaded.
exceptional dinner with impressive views of PV nestled on the 5th floor rooftop of a hotel. we were lucky enough to enjoy live music during our meal and although the service can be slow at times, it was. all worth it. we started out with a pitcher of the sangria and by the looks of everyone ordering the same thing, be sure to try out this great refresher! the calamari rings were a bit small but packed a lot of flavor. all pasta plates were delicious and consistent, loved the house bread and butter! be sure to try out both the lava cake and coffee flan to wrap up the meal! read more

I've hesitated at first before trying this restaurant, but it turned out to be one of the very best restaurants we visited during our stay in Puerto Vallarta. Food: 5/5 Service: 5/5 Location: 5/5 I highly recommend visiting this place--you won't regret it. In fact, you'll thank me later! I'm a frequent traveler who spends a lot of time dining out while traveling abroad, so I know and appreciate a truly great restaurant. This one exceeded all of our expectations. read more

A charming Italian restaurant overlooking Vallarta. Dimly lit with decorative brick walls, Spanish tile and live music. The complimentary bread with the garlic spread was delicious and pasta was surprisingly delicious. You never know what kind of quality food you're going to receive in Mexico and we were very happy with it. Can't wait to go back! read more

Food was amazing. However, one of the waiters, he was an older man, was taking care of my family and this other family who happened to be white. My family is Hispanic but we're from the US. We could clearly tell that he preferred them over us, my dad asked for a beer and he just passed by and said ok and never brought it to us. After that he just kept ignoring us. Later, another waiter started helping us and he was incredibly nice. So that fixed our night and we left him a good tip. Again, the food was delicious and somewhat made it worth dealing with that shitty waiter lol. read more
Very good restaurant in Puerto Vallarta with a beautiful view from the roof top. Service was prompt and courteous. Had some fried calamari for the appetizer which was average. However the main was a bowl of gnocchi in a bolognese sauce and it was amazing. Cooked just right, almost al dente. The sauce was delicious and made for a delightful dinner. The merlot paired very well with meal. Also ordered a Margherita pizza which good, but not excellent. All in all I gave this a good rating because of the service, decent food and amazing view. A perfect combination. read more

Scrumptious! I visited PV for two weeks and La Traviata is in my best top three restaurants. The food was amazing. My brother lives in Puerto Vallarta and he took us to La Traviata on our first night. We walked from the city which was a hike, but we'll worth the effort in the end. We arrived before sunset so the gorgeous views were even more beautiful. We were seated immediately and well taken care of by the staff. The ambiance is elegant yet unpretentious. You can wear shorts/ t-shirts and still feel completely. I ordered the lemon chicken which was served over fresh vegetables. It was delicious! My brother had steak and pasta while my sister had steak served over a light wine sauce. Her food also came with a small salad. We all loved our food. My brother had eaten at La Traviata before and chose it specifically for our first meal. After eating there it's easy to see why... I really can't say enough about the food. The steak and chicken was tender and juicy. Everything was cooked to perfection. The entire experience was top notch. When I visit Puerto Vallarta again La Traviata will be one of the restaurants at the top of my list to visit again. read more

I spent my new year here last night. My boyfriend got food poisoning. We were given recommendations to go here and after looking at the pictures on here we thought it looked pretty good. Last nights pre fixed new years dinner was an absolute rip off. It started of with carpaccio which should be thinly sliced but was thick and chewy and the main was a steak dinner with minced potatoes not even a string bean or vegetable to accompany the 2500 peso dinner. To finish we were give store bought dessert . I didn't even finish the steak, I asked for medium rare it is basically come still mooing. For the same price was had an incredible dinner at Le Kliff. I was disappointed that for this prices last night we didn't have options . read more
In an effort to try new places within walking distance of our hotel, we came across La Traviata. It is at the top of a building (maybe apartments?) and there is little signage to get there. Don't give up though because the views are AMAZING! Every table has a great view, but we were lucky to sit facing the town and ocean. The food was good, we had huevos rancheros (not pictured), a ham and cheese omelette, and strawberry pancakes. The orange juice was also great, but the mimosa was a little too juicy for my liking. All in all, I recommend checking this place out for the views alone. The food is a nice bonus. read more

We stayed at Hotel Palomar during our vacation. La Traviata is the restaurant atop the hotel. We've had breakfast and dinner here a few times. Just one floor up from our room. Portions are reasonable and affordable and the view is spectacular. Even though it can get get crowded, La Traviata is perfect for date nights. read more
