    Marina Vallarta

    Marina Vallarta is the perfect place to spend the evening strolling along, browsing the numerous little shops, art galleries, and of course, enjoying the superb food and service of Porto Bello Restaurant.

    Relax and enjoy a glass of wine with your pasta, while Italian music plays softly in the background as you gaze over the Marina and the mountains that surround Banderas Bay.

    Our story

    Maurizio Pellegrii and Mario Nunes came from Toronto for vacations and fell in love with Vallarta. Since 1989, they have been owners of this elegant Italian restaurant, privileged with a spectacular view of the Marina Vallarta.

    Porto Bello offers fine dining in a romantic terrace with a relaxing, neat, white setting, overlooking yachts in the Marina and the beautiful mountains surrounding Vallarta. You can also enjoy your meal in a great elegant atmosphere with soft lights of our contemporary decorated salon.

    Mario and Maurizio use family recipes to create 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 cream sauce is a must!
