In the heart of Puerto Vallarta’s Romantic Zone, La Piazzetta opens its doors to offer an authentically Italian culinary experience, combined with the warmth and unique charm of our city. Founded by Domenico “Mimmo” Lorusso, a passionate lover of Italian cuisine, the restaurant was born from his desire to share the flavors, aromas, and traditions of Italy in a cozy, lively setting.

Under his leadership, the restaurant has become known for its welcoming atmosphere, wood-fired oven, and menu that celebrates Italian traditions. Mimmo is renowned for his friendly approach with guests, often greeting them personally — creating a warm, familiar ambiance.

Every dish at La Piazzetta reflects dedication and passion: handmade pastas, wood-fired pizzas, fresh antipasti, and recipes that honor the true essence of Italian cooking. The space, inspired by small Italian piazzas, invites guests to enjoy memorable moments — whether it’s a romantic dinner, a family gathering, a birthday, or a night out with friends.

La Piazzetta has established itself as an iconic spot in Puerto Vallarta, offering not only delicious food but also an experience that transports diners to the charming piazzas of Italy.

We strive to offer more than just food — we offer a complete experience: a place where Italian tradition and Puerto Vallarta’s hospitality come together, creating memories you’ll want to relive again and again.
