Hey there! You absolutely *have* to hear about this mind-blowing dinner we just had! We ventured…read moreout 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.

Came here for dinner my friend's 40th birthday. The place is beautiful with gorgeous ceiling and…read morewalls, 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.

She also usually eats the bread that comes with meals at Italian restaurant but she took and bite and passed on the bread as well.

I was ready to run out of there (this happened after a earthquake scare a few hours earlier ). Those guys came over of course when I realized what was actually happening happening I was in tears laughing so hard. Those guys were so sweet we all had a great laugh about it. I will forever be known as the lady at table 5. Or the crazy lady at table 5. Love this place so much!!!!

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.

The food is simply incredible, consistently executed, and bursting with authentic Italian flavor. Every dish feels thoughtfully prepared and truly special. The staff is fantastic: warm, attentive, and genuinely passionate about what they do, which elevates the entire dining experience. Honestly, this is some of the best Italian food I've ever had, not just in PV, but anywhere. Whether you live in Puerto Vallarta or are just visiting, do yourself a favor and grab dinner at Ortensia Funiculli. You will not be disappointed.

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.

Luis, our server tonight was wonderful, very attentive while providing wonderful dinner recommendations. We ended up ordering two out of the three dinner specials offered tonight: Rib Eye (1 kilo) over sautéed veggies and arugula. This dish is so large, the steak is large enough to share between 4 people! Cooked to absolute perfection, this medium rare piece of heaven is a MUST! Nice change from the tacos we've been having for the past 3 days.. Yellow tail, wow - y'all about freshness. Fish lover? Order this! Linguini pasta toased in a thick white cream sauce with mushrooms and TRUFFLE oil?! Yes please! This is deeeelishhhh! The Garlic Soup!? OMFG! If there's in secret/hidden gem on the menu it's this item! So good, I'm going to TIP that, you have to order it! The pizza is also yummy, cooked in an open fire place oven, the crust is perfect.

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.

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.
