La Dolce

This is one of three restaurant sisters in P.V., the other two named La Dolce Vita. Each restaurant has essentially the same menu (with dish names varying) but different vibes. La Dolce seems like the elegant middle sister and is clearly a place locals frequent for special occasions. The wood fire pizzas simply cannot be beaten and the cocktails are potent and beautifully presented. Service is quick and attentive. Valet parking (50 pesos) makes arrival and departure a snap. Best of all, the price is incredibly reasonable! We would happily pay more the combination of food, service, and ambience. For a romantic dinner for two, a special family memory, or just for pizza on a Friday night, La Dolce is your spot.

We went twice, and the first time we both ordered pizzas and shared a Roma salad; the second time my husband ordered pizza with mushrooms and pepperoni and I had the Spaghetti Bologna, and again we shared a salad. (This second time I also had a glass of Sauvignon Blanc and took a serving of gelato back to our room with me.) The food was exquisite, and I wished I'd ordered the entire Roma salad for myself. My husband loved his pizza both times; my Orto pizza was superb, although I might have preferred if they'd added the spinach just at the end, so that it was barely cooked. The Spaghetti Bologna was very good, and they made it to my requirements, with no bell pepper. Also, the servers both times were diligent and attentive, particularly on April 18, and the atmosphere and decor of the place are lovely. (Take time to enjoy the festive musical birthday tributes from servers-- there were several each night we were there, and they made us both smile broadly.) I would say that, unless you're quite tall, aim for a table with the grey upholstered chairs (my husband asked to switch his chair partway through dinner). When sitting on the booth bench and round chair, I had to roll up my bag and sit on it, to put myself at a comfortable height for the table.

Drinks were great and best fettuccine Alfredo I’ve had in pv and pizza was amazing, staff was great!!

Delicious food, professional waitstaff, clean and beautiful restaurant. Caprese salad was very fresh. Absolutely loved our meals.

I liked this restaurant because they took their time while serving us. We were not rushed through our courses, and the staff remained attentive to our needs. Everyone enjoyed their meals. Great food and great service, would recommend!

One of the best higher end restaurants in Puerto Vallarta. We had carpaccio and fried seafood appetizers, pizzas and fettuccine Alfredo for entrees.

Food was very nice. Portions are very generous . Pizza sizes were medium size. Staff was friendly. Prices were very reasonable for the ambience and quality of food. A nice place for the family to eat out or if you are out on a date.

We really enjoyed our night at this place. The food is excellent, pizza, calamari, spaghetti or New York we enjoyed everything. The drinks are awesome as well. The staff are very attentive. It’s a very nice classy place, I will definitely be coming back.
