Story & Atmosphere
Buonissimo Gourmet Restaurant
Buonissimo Gourmet Restaurant, nestled in the heart of Nuevo Vallarta’s Plaza 3.14, offers a uniquely inviting dining experience that blends casual elegance with genuine hospitality. From the moment you arrive, the warm and attentive staff make you feel welcome—whether it’s the owner personally ensuring your comfort or servers engaging with you bilingually in English and Spanish. This thoughtful approach sets the tone for what promises to be a memorable meal.
The menu echoes the refined yet approachable spirit of the restaurant, featuring farm-fresh salads like the Fragola—a vibrant mix of spinach, arugula, strawberry, pear, and goat cheese—and the Lombarda with roasted pear, almonds, and gorgonzola. These dishes showcase the kitchen’s dedication to quality and balanced flavors, capturing the essence of seasonal ingredients in every bite.
Beyond salads, Buonissimo’s extensive menu includes tantalizing Italian classics and innovative dishes that cater to varied palates. While some dishes, like the calamari fritto and lasagna, received particular praise for their authentic taste and satisfying portions, the gelato stands out as a delightful finale—a creamy, refreshing treat that beautifully caps off an evening enhanced by live jazzy music. This live music adds an elegant yet relaxed ambience, neither intrusive nor overpowering, perfectly complementing the softly lit interior or the breezy outdoor seating.
What truly elevates the experience at Buonissimo is the seamless blend of atmosphere, service, and culinary quality. Whether you choose to dine indoors with air conditioning or outside enjoying the sea breeze, you’re treated to prompt, friendly service that moves efficiently even during busy hours. Regular patrons appreciate the option of reservations and convenient street parking, making it a hassle-free choice for both intimate dinners and group gatherings.
In my experience, Buonissimo strikes a fine balance between gourmet sophistication and approachable charm, making it a standout destination in Nuevo Vallarta’s diverse restaurant scene. It is a place where the care in preparation and presentation shines through every dish, inviting you to savor the moment and the flavors alike.
What Guests Say

“ I was a little intimidated to eat here because I was unsure of the service and price. So heads up!! The $200-300 price is in pesos and the servers are all really nice and some try to speak English and appreciate if you try to speak Spanish! I believe it was either the owner or manager that helped us, seated us and took our order. Very busy here, but only waited a couple minutes. Pretty prompt service, otherwise I asked someone for something and they got it right away. I appreciated them telling us pizza would take a while and it really didn’t! Bruschetta was awesome flavor even for two pieces and pizza is super good. Fresh ingredients and the crust is not super thin, but enough to not make you full after a slice or two. Share a pizza if there are two of you! ”
“ Fast and friendly service from Arturo. The gelato was fantastic. Live jazzy music was a surprise bonus. Not too loud with comfortable lighting. ”

“ Our favorite spot in Nuevo Vallarta. Casually elegant with excellent, friendly, and professional service. The salads are always filled with farm fresh greens and perfect dressings, from the Fragola with spinach, arugula, strawberry, pear and goat cheese, the Lombarda with arugula roasted pear. almond and gorgonzola, to an excellent caprese. We've never actually tried the pastas since we love the pizza so much. My favorite us the Buonissimo with bacon onion, gorgonzola and arugula. But they are all good here... it's impossible to make a wrong choice since all have perfect crusts impeccably baked in the wood burning oven. Start with one of their properly made cocktails and finish with one of their wide variety of gelatos. And all of it at a fair price... which is more then you can say for many restaurants in the area ”
