Delicious !! Highly recommend - Edit
All the food was amazing and lots of both vegan and vegetarian options. My omni family said it was not just good, but excellent! Marco the chef was fantastic. I ordered a chef's special and he made a beet pasta dish with pistachios that was to die for.

The best Italian food, anywhere and a vegetarian paradise - Edit
I've been a vegetarian for over twenty years and my husband is a carnivore who loves Italian food. Many of the Puerto Vallarta vegetarian restaurants leave something to be desired with food quality, creative menus, and timing. We stumbled upon Veggetalia and the staff, ambience, food, and taste totally won our hearts and stomachs.
Read moreIt was literally the best Italian food of our lives (we live in Little Italy in the US), it was light and everything was delicious and every ingredient was creatively transformed into beautiful artwork with the function of great tasting food. My husband did not miss the meat and we went back, twice during our time in Puerto Vallarta. The owner and chef, Marco has created an oasis for the healthy, vegetarian, or vegan traveler and Veggetalia fuses Marco's 30+ years of kitchen experience into a true treat for the heart, soul, and your stomach. The staff is sweet and kind (and I'm pretty sure they all play in a jazz band together) and the Pink Floyd soundtrack and amazing wine / espresso made the experience amazing. The pricing is also really lovely.
Tell everyone, this is THE SPOT for the best Italian food in Mexico. Your taste buds will thank you and any food conscious travelers will rejoice. Vegans and gluten free eaters will also eat very well!
Pros: Creative presentations, Healthy and fresh ingredients , Amazing ambiance
Cons: More vegetarians should support this amazing place

Vegan Options - Edit
The chef and workers accommodate to whatever the needs of the customers are. The pizza was delicious. I spent three weeks in Puerto Vallarta and ate here twice a week and made it our last dining meal. Everything on the menu is delicious, especially the pear salad. Calming music, and great service.

Yum - Edit
Yum. The entire menu is vegetarian, and the chef and staff understand vegan. It’s small, but a polished environment with live music at times. Appetizers to share, pizza, pasta, and desserts; all Italian, no guacamole or tequila on the menu. Suitable for people who might complain about a vegetarian restaurant—I overheard an older Canadian man say it was his first meal without meat and I saw him leave smiling.

Better then Italy - Edit
Seriously one of the best pestos I’ve ever had. Would get a salad, pizza and a pasta for me and my wife and it was a ton of food but it was so good we had to try a bunch of stuff. Went twice on our vacation and was our favorite spot. Just went to Rome and venice 4 months ago and I preferred this spot to anything I had there. Very helpful in making anything you want vegan.

magical vegan meal - Edit
Had Marco cook us a Chef Choice Pizza and pasta. Pasta was the best of my life! Dessert was delicious chocolate mousse! A great meal, amazing flavor!! A bit of spicy kick with his infused oils!! Top rate! They make their own beer, too, which I missed on this trip, but will have to go back for!

Inspiring cuisine - Edit
Pride is found in every ingredient lovingly procured for each dish. You will not be disappointed by the chef’s special done up vegano! There might even be a vegan dessert if you’re lucky!

What a treat! - Edit
We had the antipasto which was grilled veggies seasoned out of this world with just a tiny bit of heat. Then we had the special which was labeled “Inspiration de Chef”. When we asked him what it was, he said, “I don’t know. I talk to you then i go in the kitchen and get inspired.” So we both ordered the special and we both got something unique, delicious and special. Highly recommend this restaurant.

Best vegan pizza I've had - Edit
This place is the best. My boyfriend and I came in to order a vegan pizza to go and ended up having an espresso while waiting. The pizza and the espresso were amazing! We were greeted by the chef when we first walked in and served with mint water while waiting. The pizza was the best vegan pizza I have ever had. It was thin crust and I got mushrooms and arugula on top.. so good. Even my boyfriend (who is not vegan) said it was amazing! I highly recommend going here if you're in Puerto Vallarta!

Beautiful and delicious! - Edit
I've been to a lot of vegan restaurants in my time, but this one has to be one of my favourites. From the atmosphere as soon as you walk in, to the greeting at the door from the owner who is incredibly passionate about what he does. To of course the incredible food we had. You start with some vanilla mint water which is very refreshing, and then some bread with olive oil and the best pesto I've ever eaten. I had the penne with pesto which was incredible. Please eat here if you get the chance!

Fantastic - Edit
Everything sounds delicious and what we had definitely was. The owner is clearly very passionate about good food and it shows. We had pizza and the antipasto, which was oven roasted veggie skewers, paired with a beautiful glass of wine and craft beer. Wish we were staying longer so we could go again!

Great Italian Food - Edit
I was so excited when they opened, the owner used to also own Espresso restaurant in Olas Altas and we loved the food there. Everything is delicious but we were hoping that being a vegetarian place, the prices would be lower than in Espresso, but they are not, they are expensive, we would go more often if it wasn't so expensive. Why would a plate of pasta and tomato sauce cost $190 pesos?

Best vegan pizza I've ever had - Edit
Best vegan pizza I've ever had. The chef is from Italy with over 30 years of experience making pizza. I ordered the 5 terre pizza and the veggitalia salad. Both were so fresh and flavorful. They were out of vegan cheese but the pizza really didn't need it. The ingredients all had so much flavor. Would highly recommend!!

Great find in Puerto Vallarta. Their food was vegetarian, but was made vegan on request. The waitress was fantastic. She is a huge asset to this restaurant. I would recommend to Vegetarian/Vegan friends.

Yummy - Edit
I debated leaving 5 stars or 4 stars, because it's right in the middle. I had the vegan 5 terre pizza, which was really really good, but not divine. My friends had the lasagna, which they said was the best they ever had.

Great fusion!! - Edit
Amé el concepto, la atención y la calidez de el lugar! Es simplemente delicioso, todo preparado al momento con la confianza de que se hacen adaptaciones si eres vegano o vegetariano. Cada detalle desde el menú que cambia a diario en base a obtener ingredientes frescos y así llevarte una sorpresa en cada visita ante la variedad de opciones, el ambiente es familiar y a su vez acogedor si deseas ir en pareja. El chef trabaja cerca y puedes ver la dedicación en cada plato. Vale la pena pedir su especialidad de el día con la que quedamos encantados. Feliz de tener una opción italiana y veg en nuestra ciudad. Regresamos muy pronto! ??

Best pizza ever! - Edit
We were pleasantly surprised to stumble across this new Italian vegan/vegetarian restaurant right near El Malecon during our recent visit to Puerto Vallarta. We ordered a veggie pizza after the lovely hostess explained there was no set menu as the chef is happy to accommodate any requests. The wood fired pizza was so delicious that we went back again the next night for more! If only they delivered to Australia ☺ We also very much enjoyed our pasta and desserts of vegan chocolate mousse and Italian sweet bread. It was clear that the chef has a real passion for food. We'd definitely visit again if we're in Puerto Vallarta in future!
