We had an excellent experience at this restaurant. The staff was very helpful and eager to get us a table right away with minimal wait. They were helpful recommending dishes and the prices were reasonable considering that you’re eating in Portofino which is one of the most expensive places in Italy, and comparable to having lunch in Cinque Terre. We had the spaghetti with clams which was perfectly prepared with a bottle of the house wine and a salad. We also had the artichoke pie which was absolutely outstanding and the best one I’ve ever had anywhere. Overall a very good experience in a restaurant that we would highly recommend while we’re visiting in Portofino.

Portofino is a lovely small town. It 's world famous and gets lots of visitors. Because of Covid 19 there were less people here than usual, but still plenty. Because of its fame and location the prices are on the higher side. And that 's also the case here at this restaurant. It 's close to the shore, but not directly (where the restaurants are worse). But it 's located on the charming small street Via Roma . Staff was really friendly and caring. The set up is very nice, typical Italian feeling, but not cheesy. There are interesting items on the menu, wine by the glass or bottles. Since I was driving we took one glass of white wine each. Very good. We ordered the curry style Gnocchi, mussels gratinated with tomatoes and cheese and the baby squid stew. All dishes were very good indeed. Gnocchi curry style sounds like an abomination to italian food, but was a great match. The mussels were fresh and plenty very well priced this one. The squid were fresh as well, perfectly cooked and tender. But for 20 Euro on the upper end of the price list. You know when you visit Portofino that you will pay for it. If you are aware of that, then you will enjoy this town and this restaurant. Food was great. We paid 60 Euros. Of course you will pay less for the same in a countryside mom 'n 'pop Trattoria. But we enjoyed it nonetheless.
