    Beautiful space. Nice services. Place is empty in busy season when everything else is full. Should have been a sign! WiFi sucks! Big story about owner falling in love with Mexican wine, but Mexican wine list is all the mediocre. Nothing worth paying money to drink. BIG fail. Another sign of impending doom. Cocktails are watered down. Bread is warm on the outside, dry and refrigerator cold on the inside… paper tastes better? Food looks beautiful but bland and flavorless food. The salad was good. Don’t waste your time or money till the chef is changed and you see the place full up with once more.

    Located above the Galleria Dante is their fabulous restaurant now serving breakfast & brunch. Healthy and perfectly priced. The green juice is delicious as is the Coconut bowl. The atmosphere is relaxing away from the hustle and bustle of the street level. Very professional servers and great views of the art gallery courtyard. Another must dining destination in PVR.

    Really cozy, open air tapas restaurant above art gallery. Had carrot soup, tuna sashimi, shrimp gambas and filet in 3 pepper sauce. All yummy. Good wine list with lots of Spanish tempernio, Chilean and Argentinian.

    The service here was exceptional! The staff continuously checked on our table, offered new drinks to try, and were just overall very friendly. On top of all of that, the food was so delicious.

    Visiting Di Vino Dante doesn't begin with visiting Di Vino Dante. Whether you enter via the restaurant entrance or, before closing hours, via Galleria Dante's entrance, you are hit with loving art and a wave of divine energy that doesn't come easy with words and is felt throughout the body. You're unsure what this feeling is. However, you are conscious of it and subconsciously want to embrace it, for it brings you to life. There is no doubt that the gallery and wine bar complement each other. Arriving on the second floor of this magnificent structure, with its history and progression over decades of thoughtful work, you'll find an open floor plan beckoning you to travel about, find a table on the mezzanine, or post up on a stool at the bar, where you'll discover Jazz, a fantastic mixologist/barista, a true artist practicing her craft. From a cappuccino to a margarita to a specialty drink—even Jazz's creations—or even to a simple beer, you will feel welcome and at home. Your choice of wines varies from region to region worldwide, allowing you to try the mindfully selected options without the puzzlement of infinite choices. Whether you are dining for tapas, ordering so much with your group—or solo—that you never make it to the second course, you won't be disappointed with the food. In fact, you'll understand why, in the first place, you gravitated to this incredible establishment and are now having a wondrous dining experience. If you are here for brunch, the smoothie bowls pair nicely with a two-for-one mimosa, as can the avocado toast. Di Vino Dante's flatbreads for lunch are a must. The dough is soft and fluffy yet firm and crispy where it ought to be, providing you with a bite your taste buds will dance and thank you for. The bread itself, aside from the pizza dough, is made in-house and goes well as it is, or you can add oil and vinegar and a smear of butter. You won't go wrong with the tapas: beef carpaccio, black tuna salad, tuna sashimi, meatballs, etcetera, etcetera. My family and I ordered the entire menu. The ingredients are fresh, and the evidence lies in the completed dish resting in front of you and then in the flavors as they hit your taste buds. Perhaps I am biased, considering I have known the owner and restauranteur my whole life, not to mention the Guarniere family as a whole. But that's not the case. As a writer and author, a speaker of the truth, I know what I feel and what I am looking for in a dining experience. It is all about the experience. And the energy and ambiance you feel from visiting Di Vino Dante will stick with you after you leave. You'll want to come back for more, for better, better than before, for, as any artist—chef, barista, entrepreneur—knowns, we are always looking to reinvent our craft and be better than we were a moment ago. We are constantly striving for growth and to share that with others. J.L. Iannino

    Always a great experience here. My last visit was for lunch during restaurant week and nothing I had disappointed. Always enjoy the ambiance and the service from Milton this time was stellar. Will be back!

    Fabulous hidden gem in the heart of Puerto Vallarta’s romantica zone. The food is delicious and very reasonably priced. The restaurant is large, clean, beautifully decorated and the staff are very friendly and efficient. Our waiter Renee is very attentive and nice. Strangely it was not at all busy on the two nights we dined there, leading me to believe most people overlook it for some reason. We will definitely be going back again. Love this place!

    I literally can't say enough about this place. Fantastic ambiance, fantastic food, fantastic service. Also excellent with food allergies. We had the blackened tuna salad, the guajillo octopus, and asparagus. I would order the exact same thing again. Also, if there are just 2 of you, try to get a coveted balcony table!

    Worth a visit! Ambiance, service and food were fantastic! As Vegans we were thrilled to find a restaurant that had some really great vegan options!

    Tucked away, above Galleria Danta is a hidden gem. The food is tapas style. Recommend the meatballs and beet salad. YUMMY YUMMY!!!! Wine selection is beautiful. A must in Vallarta!

    Fantastic service, great food and drinks and a nice 2 for 1 happy hour. Simon is an excellent server and won't lead you astray. The beautiful art and plants from the gallery below bring a level of relaxed elegance that can't be matched. We have gone here twice in one week and can't wait to go back!

    The place is very beautiful, but it was the slowest service I’ve ever seen. The wait time for their main entrees was over 2 hours! It still came barely warm. They have good drinks and amazing desserts - the only reason we didn’t cancel order after 2 hours of waiting.

  • 5/5 Danny K. 2 years ago on Google
    This place is excellent for a romantic dinner. Atrium seating is a great mix of art and space. The food and service is top notch. Wine selection is priced well. We have been many times and look forward to many more.

    Simply beautiful! Had a sparkling wine from Queretaro. It tasted delicious in the heat of the day. Staff was attentive.

  • 5/5 SoloJoe 2 years ago on Google
    Lovely and beautifully decorated restaurant. The staff….I must say , that they truly pay attention to details. I had a visitor in my wine and they immediately replaced it 👏🏻👍 Service was amazing from start to finish . Now the food: Quail egg with Parma ham, cheese sauce on toast was decadent. It was Creamy and savory. Slow cooked pork belly in beer served with onion radish , potato purée and Brussels sprouts . The pork belly was cooked to perfection . Falling apart after each cut, but it lacked acid and seasoning. Definitely has great potential (maybe some pickled vege or vinegar , mince garlic and lime 👍👍👍 Dessert: gluten free chocolate cake with blueberries, raspberry sauce and vanilla ice cream . What more can you ask for 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Wines: Malbec, Zinn and Brut were superb . This place is a true gem If this review was helpful, please give it a like 👍👍👍 Happy travels

    Great diverse and creative menu, excellent food quality and service, in a very relaxed beautiful setting. Family business for many years, and very accomodating. The restaurant is an extension of the art gallery below, and overlooks the gardens in back. This is our go-to spot for both a nice healthy lunch; or, taking friends for a quality dinner at a very reasonable cost; or, stopping in late for dessert and coffee. Service is prompt. We've never had a bad meal. We've tried the range of the menu and never disappointed. The staff will accomodate most anything you desire to eat. Last night two of us shared the beet salad (we took half of it back to the condo as it was too much); the Carrot-ginger soup, and the seafood risotto, which they changed for us to only shrimp; with an Italian Abruzzo wine. The beet salad and soup could easily have been a light meal for two. (with dessert!). This restaurant also has beautiful esthetic rooms for large gatherings. NOTE - an ELEVATOR! : The restaurant is upstairs and there is an elevator in the gallery below; the staff was quick to assist. AND: I'm discouraged reading complaints. Like most all places we dine here in PV, if there's an issue with our meal, or if you have a suggestion, the local restaurants have most always accomodated. Just communicate! Dont hold it in and write a nasty review later.
