Do yourself a favor and avoid the packed restaurants by the port and just walk about 5 minutes to this quiet, amazing place. The flat pasta with pesto had the best pesto sauce I've ever tasted. (Trennete o Mandilli al pesto). I used the bread to soak up every last bit of pesto. The spaghetti alla marinara was delicious as well. Perfect al dente and seasoned to perfection.

We waited for this restaurant to open at noon. While waiting, a woman who happened to be associated with the restaurant almost ran us over on her motorcycle while apparently running late for work. We crossed the street and while waiting, struck a conversation with a group from our cruise ship. They were a group of 8-10 who didn’t have reservations either. As the restaurant opened, the larger group was seated first (by the lady who almost ran us over with the motorcycle). As we approached the door, the lady yelled…’CLOSED’. We were confused because the restaurant was empty with the exception of the group who was sat before us at 12:01. We started walking away, only to see two people (non-African American) be seated. I asked them if they had reservations and they told me NO. This is our first experience in Portofino, and it’s not a very favorable one, especially with this restaurant. She was rude and had zero customer service skills. Clearly we are not in the US. Didn’t have an opportunity to taste or review the food. We will spend our money elsewhere, without hesitation. “rude culo “

In a smaller street away from the touristic vibe, the best restaurant in Portofino!. Family restaurant with delicious food. Amazing choices of appetizers... DELECIOUS!! Great pasta and secondo.. Friendly staff.. we arrived 13:30 but we were seated and we had the best meal in protofino

Customer service and food were both excellent. We wanted to eat somewhere that wasn’t too touristy and we found it! The spaghetti marinera was fantastic as well as the mozzarella with tomatoes. Would definitely come back!

Great local restaurant in Portofino! The pasta of the day was great and I recommend to get the sardines.

We wanted to experience local food that was a small family business. I ordered the fish and was disappointed in the way it was prepared after discussing with the waiter. The fish that was given was not what was described nor the fish that was named. The fish was tiny like a guppy. We had to constantly ask for our food to be brought out. On the good side.. spaghetti was good and the seafood mixed plate was good. Overall.. the waiter I believe was the problem.

The food was delicious! The service was very nice! The only downside was the extra charges added to the bill which is still understandable. However, we ordered Campari and to our surprise we paid an absurd 30€ for two. Unfortunately, the drinks are not on the tab. It is worth checking well what you are paying for. However, we felt very comfortable in the reastaurant!

Bad service, they exclude you, they don't inform you about off-the-carte dishes, mediocre pasta, the only good thing is the dessert and the fruti di mare... there are better options in Portofino
