Torontonians Maurizio Pellegrini and Mario Nunes have owned this elegant Italian restaurant in Marina Vallarta since 1989. Enjoy fine dining in an air-conditioned salon, beautifully decorated in soft earth tones. For a more casual lunch or dinner, tables on the large patio overlook both yachts and mountains. Mario and Maurizio use family recipes to create the homemade pastas and sauces that are featured throughout their extensive menu of traditional Italian fare. The Fusilli Porto Bello with artichokes, black olives and basil is their signature pasta dish, and for lovers of veal, the Vitello Porto Bello in a white wine cream sauce is a must.
