Mi sono fermato a Rapallo in barca per un weekend e mi sono fermato in questo locale a cena. Posto molto carino nel centro pedonale vicino al lungomare. Siamo arrivati al ristorante per le 21 Piatti buoni e ben curati, il servizio al tavolo ben curato e cordiale. Prezzo giusto per quello che abbiamo mangiato

Situato in una delle Piazzette più belle e caratteristiche di Rapallo, la location è super! Ci è stato assegnato un tavolo in piazza come da noi richiesto,all’ arrivo il ns tavolo ancora non era pronto, ma credo la titolare, simpaticissima e disponibilissima, in 2 minuti ha risolto l’insignificante problema! Abbiamo provato Un pacchero fresco con scampi e pomodoro di una bontà unica, tentacolo di polpo su purea di patate agli agrumi eccellente! Per finire un cremoso al pistacchio divino! Rapporto qualità prezzo GIUSTISSIMO! Siamo stati serviti eccellentemente da una cameriera di cui purtroppo non ricordo il nome, ma tatuata sul gomito!☺️ Gentile, disponibile e mai invadente! Bravissimi tutti e grazie ancora alla nostra cameriera! Torneremo sicuramente!🥂

Una certezza! Il locale offre un’atmosfera elegante e accogliente, con un servizio attento e cortese che fa sentire ogni ospite speciale. Anche se sei un cliente abituale, puoi sempre mangiare piatti nuovi grazie alla presenza costante di qualche fuori menù. I piatti parlano da soli: la qualità delle materie prime e la cura nella presentazione li rendono un vero piacere per il palato e per gli occhi. Prenotare in anticipo è consigliato, specialmente nei weekend. Ristorante altamente raccomandato per chi visita Rapallo.

Ristorantino caratteristico nel centro di Rapallo, ben curato nei particolari , personale molto gentile e veloce. Pieni di attenzioni come l’ entre’ , i diversi tipi di pane e i biscottini fatti in casa . Ottima scelta di vini e Cibo ottimo. Buonissimi i tagliolini sciue’ sciue’ e i tortelli bufala e basilico (magari due in più sarebbero stati graditi ), teneri e gustosi i calamari alla plancia , dolci sfiziosi , ottimi liquori. Buon rapporto qualità prezzo , super consigliato

Questa domenica ho pranzato con la famiglia in questo ristorante. Alimenti di qualità, servizio davvero impeccabile e gentile. Alta disponibilità a modificare i piatti a seconda delle esigenze del cliente. Abbiamo festeggiato il compleanno di una parente e, a nostra sorpresa, hanno creato una piccola torta simbolica con candelina composta da una fragola e due taralli dolci fatti da loro. Deliziosi, torneremo sicuramente!

Accoglienza davvero molto calorosa, un sacco di attenzioni anche per nostra figlia di 9 mesi. Ambiente piacevole, servizio impeccabile e cibo davvero molto buono. Siamo stati benissimo e torneremo sicuramente quando saremo di nuovo in zona!

Ieri sera ho avuto il piacere di cenare in questo ristorante e devo dire che è stata un’esperienza eccezionale sotto ogni punto di vista. Ogni piatto che abbiamo ordinato era semplicemente delizioso: ingredienti freschi, sapori equilibrati e presentazione curata nei minimi dettagli. Si percepisce davvero la passione in cucina! Un ringraziamento speciale va alla cameriera Denise, che è stata estremamente gentile, sorridente e attenta per tutta la serata. Ci ha fatto sentire subito a nostro agio e ha reso il servizio ancora più piacevole. Tornerò sicuramente e lo consiglio a chiunque cerchi buon cibo e un’accoglienza calorosa. Complimenti a tutto lo staff!

Alessandro’s service was chef’s kiss! He was very warm and friendly from the moment we entered and ensured we were well taken care of. Very hospitable and we enjoyed our lunch there. The atmosphere was very comfortable, warm and felt like home away from home. And food was also amazing, we were just looking on google for a lunch spot and chanced upon Rapala and we’ll definitely be back. Pasta, squid and mussels were all 💯💯💯! Oh and it came with basket of their homemade bread which were v v fresh 🍞

We stumbled upon this place after having a few bad experiences in the restaurants on the sea front.. we decided to take a walk down the back street and it paid off. Rapalà was amazing. The young girl who served us was so sweet and pleasant (we didn't catch her name but she had dark frizzy hair with glasses). The owners were also very accommodating and pleasant. The food was absolutely delicious.. superb! The atmosphere was also great in the little square very buzzing. As a tourist in Italy my advice would be to ignore the places on the sea front and make your way to rapala for a nice authentic Italian experience!

Delicious and fresh seafood, served with warm and friendly hospitality. Everything was wonderful, though we’re still waiting for that promised shot of ouzo ;)

Anton Shavin

This place has everything: Italian charm, delicious food, outrageous service, fair prices, huge choice on vine. Every „penny“ spent here was worth it.

Leoni Schipper

Great place! Loved the food and loved the service even more. Great people with passion for their job. Price point is a bit higher, but we found it more than worth it!! We sat at the garden, this was also a very cosy place to sit.

Absolutely outstanding dining experience! Although there was no space on the main street in the old town, we got a lovely spot in their garden – partially covered and wonderfully cozy. We chose a specific grape variety for the wine, and the staff gave excellent advice – it turned out to be a fantastic choice. The timing of each course was perfect, and when I skipped one course, they thoughtfully suggested sharing. The food was the best we’ve had in Rapallo – the meat was grilled exactly as I wanted, and the dessert was a real highlight (pastacchio was a 10/10!!!) Service was attentive, authentic, and incredibly friendly, and to top it off, we even got a Limoncello at the end. Truly a memorable evening – highly recommended!

Great food and fabulous staff. They made every effort to give us a great experience—quick service, very friendly, and willing to give information on local food and wine. We enjoyed the traditional pesto pasta with beans and potatoes. Just delicious! We didn’t have a booking but they managed to find us an outside table and we waited only a couple of minutes at around 9:30pm.

I came to Rapallo for the second time and was looking forward to returning to Rapalà, one year later. I'm so glad I did! This is definitely one of the best restaurants in Rapallo. Be sure to make a reservation. The service is impeccable, as well as the quality of the food. Flavorful, nutritious, and well-plated. I had antipasti, secondi piatti, a dessert, and a small bottle of wine. It was also nice that my server remembered me from last time :)

Great pasta and fish! Fresh and homemade ingredients , the staff were so nice and friendly! So beautiful place for trying local food

From start to finish, the service was impeccable — attentive, caring, and thoughtful. I’m currently pregnant, and the staff went above and beyond to guide me through the menu, clearly calling out ingredients and recommending what to avoid. Every dish I could enjoy was absolutely wonderful. We shared a perfectly cooked octopus starter, followed by two delicious pasta dishes (including a seafood linguine and the special of the day), and ended with a beautiful chantilly cream and fruit dessert. My husband also had a glass of wine and one of his top three coffees of all time. An outstanding experience — highly recommend.

We went to Rapallo for my birthday and I found out this amazing restaurant! Very attentive and warm service with quality food! Highly recommended for those visiting Rapallo.

Zoe Kent

Incredible food and experience at a surprisingly affordable price for the quality. Denise and all the other staff were so kind and friendly too. Endless homemade bread was such a treat too 🤤 Highly recommend the ricciola stuffed with fish, best food we’ve had by far in Italy in a beautiful garden spot.

JACKIE MCKENZIE

A lovely lunch with great customer service by Denise. We were made very welcome and enjoyed great handmade fresh pasta and yummy desserts. Just 2 mins from seafront.

HedvigRok

Some of the best food we had in Rapallo. We had the mussels, ravioli with amberjack and prawns, and ravioli with mozzarella, basil and tomato reduction. We were seated outside in the garden which was very charming, and the service was also very good. Will come again if nearby ❤️

Jo Bouris

Wow! Wow! Wow! What a culinary experience. The staff at Hotel Vesuvio recommended this to us and we were very pleased! Incredible service. Great wine and delicious food! The kind where you close your eyes to take in the flavour! The seared tuna with truffle and the pistachio dessert are a must try!

Ottimo: Bell ambiente specie sulla terrazza esterna. Servizio cordiale e puntuale. Buona scelta di piatti che strizzano l’occhio alla tradizione ma con una punta di innovazione sia nei gusti che nel impiattamento. Ho gradito particolarmente la lampuga che non si trova facilmente nei menu. Avevo già provato la cucina e anche questa volta ha confermato le mie aspettative Da provare.. Utile prenotare

Siamo venuti in questo ristorante in quanto ne abbiamo sentito parlare molto bene. Le aspettative erano forse troppo alte, immaginando di trovare un posto un po' meno turistico. Le cozze era buone ma il sautè era giù di sapore, mancava un po' di aglio. L'insalata con i calamari interessante ma nel complesso nulla di che a livello di sapori, troppo delicata. Quanto ai due primi: Il piatto di ravioli era buono mentre i paccheri avevano un sugo completamente slegato dalla pasta... Quello che ha salvato la serata e la recensione é stato il tonno scottato. Davvero straordinario anche se presentato malissimo (tra l'altro unico piatto "non cucinato") Il servizio é stato di discreto livello. Qualità prezzo posto non consigliato

Eravamo nella sala adiacente. Poco intima, condivisione con i tavoli vicini imbarazzante. Forse l'esperienza nell'altra sala sarebbe stata diversa. Servizio molto, troppo rapido. Cibi buoni ma mancavano di autenticità: Calamaretti con verdurine croccanti...le verdurine erano più che altro decorazioni del piatto, non aveva senso mangiarle...scondite, non ben abbinate. Prezzi ok ma non lo consiglierei

Ordered the ravioli with burrata basil and tomato, tagliatelle with mixed seafood. Also featuring is the €3 pp cover. Unfortunately the ravioli is the worst pasta we've ever had, it tasted like it had been cooked from frozen, the pasta was stodgy undercooked and floury. The filling was minimal and underwhelming, the sauce per the picture speaks for itself. The tagliatelle was good but the wine wasn't cooked out and seafood cooked from frozen. The overall service was very nice.

I’ve only written 3 reviews in Rapallo. For those reading this, PLEASE go to the good ones and NOT the single bad one. DON’T make the same mistake I did. Rapala is simply not good (and I hate to say this because I understand how much work it takes to build a small business) but to those at Rapala reading this, I HONESTLY hope it can improve. Red flags that I saw right away. Menu was massive with complex tasting menu AND individual items. Too many pages with no need for QR code on there. Who ever writes a review from seeing the menu? Menu needs to be simplified and tasting menu removed. The structure of it makes no sense and in my guess, overburdens the logistics of the kitchen which leads to my second red flag, long wait time for food. The kitchen groups the dishes together by tables and sends them out together. If I finished my first course, I’d have to wait for the second table to be finished before I could get my next course. There is clearly something wrong with the logistics of how the kitchen is handling these tickets. Third red flag is service. I asked what dish the waitress recommended and she tells me she’s vegetarian. I understand that this question is probably the most asked question and maybe even something that waitresses hate to answer, but if you work at a restaurant, PLEASE just pick SOMETHING. That’s all the customer is looking for. Pick something and talk about it with a single PERCENT of passion and I will be satisfied. The food is overcooked, stale, ingredients are not fresh and seafood pasta is seafood on seafood on seafood. No balance. No delicate flavors. Pesto pasta was passable and cod mix was good. I’ll leave it at that. This place is meant for the tourists and is commercialized. From the QR code on the menu to the 325ml wine bottles (that in my opinion, demonstrate the short sightedness of the restaurant as there are RARELY any good wines in that bottle format). I am from NY and this felt like a Times Square restaurant. There is nothing wrong with that but only if it is advertised as such. This was falsely advertised as something homey, honest, and fresh.
