“What locations, and the food ain't shabby either!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 19, 2012

This marina side gem is an Italian inspired restaurant on the bank overlooking the Nueva Vallarta marina. you quickly greeted by friendly and well dressed hosts, and quickly taken care of by smiling unprofessional servers.
The appetizers and main are well made and presented, with excellent product, and good choice of wines.
The design and atmosphere are well fitting and the view is amazing.

“Lovely Evening”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed November 14, 2012

Porto Bello in Nuevo is an casual elegant restaurant with a wonderful ambiance. Sergio, the DJ is the best! The food is good and the service is excellent! Great job to Maurizo and Mauro on a job well done!

“Good food and nice setting”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed October 31, 2012

Food, service and atmosphere very good. A great place to go if you are in the Nueva Vallarta/Paradise Village area. A little pricey for Mexico but worth it.

“Amazing food, expensive”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed September 3, 2012 via mobile

Loved the food and the atmosphere. We celebrated my birthday and it was a night to remember. Highly recommend, but it's American prices. I wish they would lower the prices and we would have eaten there plenty more times.

“NV in August”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed August 29, 2012

We were the only customers when we got there, and we chose to eat in their AC cooled dining room. Others came as we ate and chose outdoors. We had great service, very attentive.
I had a Caesar salad and a crusted sea bass over ratatouille. My wife had the caprese and a fettuccine with mushrooms and Italian sausage. Both meals were very good, and 2 for 1 beers that were icy cold.
