Torontonians Mario Nunes and Maurizio Pellegrini have been the owners of this elegant Italian restaurant privileged with a spectacular view of Marina Vallarta since 1989. Enjoy fine dining in a romantic air-conditioned salon decorated in Art Nouveau with soft pastels. 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. The Marina is a perfect place to spend the evening strolling along the malecón, browsing the numerous shops and enjoying the superb food and service of Porto Bello. Italian music plays softly in the background as you gaze over the marina, wondering what exotic ports of call the yachts have seen
