On the corner of Olas Altas and Rudolfo Gomez (Zona Romantica) since 1995, Dommenico ‘Mimmo’ Lorusso and his attentive staff serve wood-oven small pizzas [24 types including calzone]. Or choose a variety of pastas with six, different sauces including Bolognesa. Tempura-battered fried calamari with red and white dipping sauce; garlic mushrooms, bruschetta; melon with prosciutto; and salads (including tomato with gorgonzola) will keep you occupied if you’re having difficulty choosing. There’s also fish fillet( four ways); shrimp Diablo; chicken funghi; and beef filet (five styles, cooked your way). Tiramisú, apple strudel and great gelato for dessert. Mostly outdoor wrap-around dinning with many cooling fans; some A/C indoors. Busy during winter season. The Fluvial location is smaller with a/c and located close to two, major shopping areas. Puerto Vallarta and Bahía de Banderas (Banderas Bay) are a foodie’s feasting grounds with hundreds of restaurants including: establishments within hotels; independently operated; cenadurías (modest family-owned establishments) and comida corridas (simple places with fixed price menus); and taquerías (taco stands).

A top choice Italian restaurant. Italian cuisine [tre piatti in Italian mean 3 plates] offers 3 choices from a 3-course menu under the watchful eyes of chefs/owners Chanan and Natalie Aguirre. Pastas, breads and desserts are housemade. Their menu changes biweekly. Musts in our opinion are the airy raviolis and agnolottis stuffed a variety of ways and the fresh mussels flown-in from Baja. Maybe you’ll be lucky enough to find— burrata cheese with figs, calamari, fettuccine Bolognese, cannelloni, chicken Marsala, osso buco, or seared tuna on polenta. Natalie’s desserts like blueberry or raspberry tarts and chocolate cakes are superb. Dining area highlighted by two, illuminated mango trees, each approximately 120 years old. Many consider this restaurant offers the best Italian cuisine in the area.

Chef/owner Jeff Gesses’ Italian-Mexican fusion cuisine sparkles under romantic candlelight. Offerings include: antipasti, stuffed poblano, bruschetta, and salads including Caesar. There are several varieties of thin-crust pizzas including an eggplant vegetarian. An assortment of pastas feature fettuccine, spaghetti, and lasagna topped with wonderful choices from Alfredo to Bolognese to mussels and cannelloni stuffed with mole poblano. There’s a special frutti di mare (seafood for two) and other wonders from the sea including octopus, scallops, shrimp, and calamari prepared a variety of ways including shrimp in lobster sauce.
