La Vechia Italia - Zapopan

We brought our friends here for a nice meal. This is a very nice restaurant with a great view. The wait staff did a nice job. What we ordered was delicious. We'll be back.

I don 't know where to begin. It has superb views of the cities of Guadalajara and Zapopan, and thats why I give it one star. We brought another couple from Puerto Vallarta to try this place because they love Italian food, as do we. And, we were quite disappointed with the whole experience. The menu is a bit suspect and not as Italian as most of us are used to. We chose a pasta and shrimp dish, but when they arrived at our table they were floating in a pool of Balsamic vinegar. So, we returned it and replaced it with shrimp cocktail dishes. We ate half of the dish and we noticed that the shrimp at the bottom of the glass began to smell quite fishy , so stopped. The bread for the vinegar and oil was old and stale bread, and it was not even Italian style. The wait staff was generally unattentive and we had to ask a busboy for our bill. During the meal we had to ask them three times to turn down the loud ranch-type music that drowned out our conversation. There were loud children playing on the terrace near our table and their parents, nor the waitstaff, did nothing to control them. This is the second restaurant in Plaza Panoramica that we have reviewed and both turned out to be regrettable choices. So, come and have a coke on the terrace and enjoy the great view. Just be sure to eat elsewhere before you arrive . . . and you will thank me.

On our first night of stay in the neighborhood of Bugambillias, in the district of Zapopan, near Guadalajara...we were taken to dinner at La Vecchia Italia inside the Plaza Panoramica Bugambilias. Surprised that our friends did not take us to some kind of Mexican restaurant but to an Italian one instead. This restaurant is one of many inside the plaza, offering a view of the city of Guadalajara way down below the hill. Service was excellent and the food was very good but not exceptional. I ordered the Salmon Al Grill (very good) and my partner the Milanesa Napolitana (a bit too dry). We also shared an order of Ensaladas Caprese (delicious tomatoes). The bill for our party of four with wine, but no postres/dessert, came to approximately USD 114.00. A very reasonable price indeed!

Un restaurante maravilloso, la vista de la ciudad es genial. Comida deliciosa, totalme recomendado para ir en pareja.

Visita en familia, 2 adultos y 3 menores. Domingo en comida, (en la noche subiría sus puntos por la vista que tiene el lugar). Tuvimos una agradable estancia, la comida y servicio bien. Relación calidad precio aceptable. Menú que ordenamos: Ensalada campensina bien equilibrada en sabores e ingredientes. Salmón en salsa de frutos rojos en su punto de cocción, y fusilli alfredo con camarones bien, una pizza con prosciutto y tomate deshidratado buena a secas, podría mejorar en sazón de salsa de tomate y más queso. No será de mis favoritos pero si volvería.Agrego algunas fotos. A. Valle
