We’ve been there many times, but this was the first time we tried the pizza and ensalada magica! Best pizza we’ve found in Puerto Vallarta! The salad was so tasty and fresh! It was just like being in Italia, except with a sunset view of…our Bay of Banderas. The food and service are excellent!More

Just down the street from our condo, so easy to get to. walked through it everyday on the way to the beach, so after smelling the wonderful aromas emminating from the kitchen, we decided we had to try it. Thank god we did. Amazing food,…spaghetti and meatballs were fantastic, huge portion and the best flavours. So delicious. Also the carbonara. So authentic, and rich, again big portion, but I ate it all. Wonderful gracious service, the owner is wandering around, everseeing the operation, in a very inobtrusive manner. So polite and welcoming. Can’t wait to go back, at least one more time before we have to go home. Very good value for the price, not overpriced. Maybe a bit strange to go for Italian food in Mexico, but you need to mix it up a little!!More

Pleasant location that’s quieter than those just a block down the hill. I had the Fettuccine Alfredo and it was without a doubt, the best I’ve ever had. The sauce was incredibly rich but so light.

My husband and I LOVE this restaurant. It has understated elegance. The waitress has a soft-spoken charm and good attention to detail. The food is high quality and generous portions. We have been coming to puerto Vallarta for years and have seen restaurants come and…go. This one is passing the test of time. Other diners also sang out high praises and were repeat customers. Provecho!!More

We just happened to stumble across this restaurant on one of our walks and decided to give it a try. My husband had the pennette, my friend chose the fettuccini Alfredo and I had the vegetarian lasagna. We were all very pleased with our meals,…they tasted delicious and the portions were good. We can totally recommend this place !More

The food was on the high end of prices for Italian food. So many better choices here in PV for much less. We expected attentive service and some more of the smiles that drew us in. Cute spot and thought it would be a nice…intimate dining experience. We don’t mind spending more for a lovely experience. Not a happy experience or pleasant experience at all. They missed our appie/salad and the food they brought was incorrect for my partner and mine was not as described. The salmon was a nice piece of fish butthere was no added flavour and the pasta was plain dull and like they forgot any type of spice/oil/sauce/wine – tastes like plain boiled noodles. Turning the dish into a bland meal. As we waited for my husbands meal – mind was cold, so I asked for a little Alfredo sauce and they brought this and some boiled veggies. They did try to make up for it. They brought ice cream as well. What was the worst part of the evening was the owner ran around getting people to come in and serve drinks but never comes back to ask how your meal was, we had to get up and ask for the correct meals, flag someone down to ask where was the appie/salad and bread and even at that no one asked if our meal was ok. Our young waiter seemed to feel bad about the situation for us. The owner came over and gave us the bill, never asking if we enjoyed our meal, or apologized for the wrong orders or the missed items and just huffed and walked away as my husband tried to talk to him. So many lovely FRIENDLY Italian places…. With delicious food and excellent all around service for a great and happy experience.More

The Owner was very nice at welcoming. A few other guests were there. We really wished our dinner would be good. But the worst was coming: We ordered” very italian pasta carbonara” …. How difficult is that… You can even Google how to make???? However,…they fairled: it was a mess of cream- ham and who knows What ???? The Owner did bring in his wife; as a proof her Italian heritage????. Well she was very deep mexikan, not a signle italian word… ???? So, not much Italian on this restaurant. DO NOT GO THERE IFYOU WANT ITALIAN FOOD FOR REASONABLE PRICE! Also the restaurant did luck paper hagerchiew???? these days of Corona????. Do not go there if You want to be safe???? Too owerprised for P V !More

My husband and I had dinner tonight at this restaurant and we won’t be returning. The atmosphere and food was average and we could not feel comfortable with the lack of attention paid to Covid protocol by the servers. The first server to approach our…table did not wear a mask and the other two servers wore their masks below their noses. As two older tourists trying to enjoy our holiday and stay safe, we were disappointed.More

Charming family restaurant, serving excellent Italian food with outstanding service. Lasagna con Carne was delicious and Chicken Parm was among the best we’ve had. The setting is clean, warm, and inviting. Staff is excellent and attentive. Prices are a bit higher than some nearby restaurants,…but well worth it.More

Cam across this last night. Quaint little restaurant with only maybe 8 tables. Food was delicious and service very good. Everyone there was complimenting the cook.

We had a craving for pizza and went for an early dinner here. The caesar salad was shared and delicious. Crisp cold greens and a flavorful authentic dressing. We ordered two pizzas. The ricotta spinach onion with added pepperoni and the olive caper onion and…anchovies. The crust was beautifully charred and crispy to hold all the toppings which were fresh and plentiful. The pepperoni could have been a little more crispy but otherwise a very satisfying meal with attentive service and a good selection of wines by the glass and bottle. A complementary vanilla ice cream was a welcome treat and we have plenty of leftovers to enjoy at home! Off the beaten path of ocean front dining but a nice place to enjoy a good meal without all the hype.More

Four of us had dinner here last night, the food was excellent and the service fantastic!! My fiend has the spagetti and meatballs, two largest meatballs that I have seen, I had the Puntanesca and loved it, the two other meals were all great. My…wife and I had ordered a salad to share, it was so large the four of us shared it and we still had a small portion left over. I would highly recommend.More
