Why Travelers Love La Cappella

Sourced from recent guest feedback and verified reviews.

4.7 / 5.0(1,335 reviews)

La Cappella continues to offer one of the most breathtaking views in all of Puerto Vallarta. It’s a truly special place for an unforgettable evening, whether you’re visiting with friends or family. The ambiance is elegant yet relaxed, the cocktails are excellent, and the food remains outstanding,beautifully presented and full of flavor. That said, I did notice a difference in the level of customer service during my recent visit with my girlfriends compared to last year when I dined here with my family. The staff didn’t seem as attentive or engaged as before. While the experience was still enjoyable, I couldn’t help but feel that the warmth and hospitality that once defined this restaurant — and Puerto Vallarta in general — were missing a bit this time. Perhaps it’s something that management or even the local Chamber of Commerce could address, as great service is what keeps visitors coming back and makes them feel truly appreciated. I sincerely hope to see that signature Puerto Vallarta hospitality shine again, because La Cappella remains one of the most beautiful and memorable dining spots in the city First class dining. Staff were great took excellent care of us. Our meals were all great. A lot of variety on the menu Italian, seafood everyone enjoyed their meals. Now the view is perfect and we're had the good fortune of an amazing sunset. Everyone in the place had the cameras out. The sunset, the food, the service pushed it beyond a five start dining experience. I wasn’t sure what to expect but it wasn’t this. We were celebrating my girlfriend’s birthday and decided to have dinner while watching the sunset. I don’t know how else to describe it but absolute perfection. Jose was our waiter and he was amazing, detailed, and treated us like family. They even have live music and they brought us a birthday cake while playing “happy birthday” on the violin. Food. Views. Friendliness. Make sure you visit when you’re here.

This is the most romantic and delicious Italian we've had. This is a must in Puerto Vallarta. The view stunning, live music, beautiful setting decor. Now food is amazing! We had the Alfredo with lobster tail, the ravioli with shrimp and the pecan tart it was all excellent, better than anything we've had anywhere else in the States or Mexico. Excellent service. Don't miss out, this restaurant is memorable.
