The restaurant has great food and great service!!! The place looks great but the only problem is it’s too packed up, I mean the tables are TOO close to each other.

The food was good and the atmosphere as well as the service. Quite expensive though and also 14 euro pp for the service which was a bit unexpected

Best parpadelle in town! Had to order 2 of this dish. Recommended restaurant in portofino.

Aloof and obnoxious We were squeezed into a corner at a table with barely enough room for our legs. We were repeatedly asked to reposition ourselves because the waiter didn’t like how we were sitting. We asked for margaritas and were met with a condescending lecture about how this is a restaurant, not a bar. But then were told we could order a negroni - and to be fair it was one of the best we’ve had. We asked for a glass of wine. With no real acknowledgment, the waiter brought over a random glass without even asking what kind. When we asked what was vegan, he said “the pesto.” We explained that cheese isn’t vegan, and he replied, “It’s Parmesan, sir” … like that made it okay. The food was fine, but not for this price - and def not with the staff’s attitude. In short: an intensely rude experience with average food and unexpectedly great drinks

Amazingly picturesque fishing village with a price tag. The restaurant is expensive, as are the rest around it, but on account of demand from a yacht owner demographic not based on quality. TL;DR - expensive mediocrity with a stunning view.

Average pricey food. Worse charge 7 Euro per person for table charges.

I guess what can be expected in a tourist trap area, but the food here was very average and overpriced. Oddly, the waiters on a few occasions made a point to tell tables how amazing their food was before or whilst they were eating it… But it really was nothing special at all. We were so disappointed that we went to eat afterwards at a family restaurant 2 mins away - The food here was half the price, MUCH better and overall had a way more authentic atmosphere!

I was here with 2 colleagues. Photo is the ravioli with fish, you get 8(with words EIGHT, OCHO, OTTO) ravioli for 24 euros. 2 of us ordered this meal and we both got 8 raviolis, last colleague didnt get his meal in time because they simply forgot about it. Raviolis were ok but portion size wasnt matching thr price.

Came with high hopes, since I always use Lonely Planet advices and in the end it just destroyed my experience for Portofino. In Lonely Planet it says (medium price - €€) 'harboourside location is the one you've come for and the owners treat everyone like they're a visiting celeb' and since I love seafood wanted to have something, but apparantly menu prices are totally different what we have on their website. And I could not leave because I was asked whether I want a water (which i said yes) before they give a menu to me. Since I saw prices are super high (it's even not medium), I decided to go for a spaghetti, which in general has not to be that expensive but of course it's harbour area it's 18 euro (in the website it says 15). Since I was not interested in any started my waiter told me that they have daily special, which of course I understand it as any other restaurant and told them would like to try octopus salad with zucchini (it's called antipasto). Can any Italian tell me who pay 28 euro (really am so annoyed) - 28 euro for a starter? If it is not a tourist trap then what it is? They say octopus is expensive in general, well in Genoa I got a huge grilled Octopus for 15 euro. It's not my first day in Italy, so to have a water, Fanta, salad and spaghetti in total they asked me 65 euro? 65 - it's not a joke. For this money I could eat fully in any other restaurant. And for service fee they charge 6 euro, which is everywhere maximum 2.5. What pisses me off that their attitude saying oh, if you cannot pay it's ok we will not charge you. It is not about the payment, it is the way how you treat people. It is not OK, it is just not... And the owner says don't pay for salad, but waiter still makes best out of it, we can reduce the price for half. Again in my culture it's super rude and I am super disappointed what I experienced. But I learnt my lesson, no more trusting guidebooks and no more waters before seeing menu! Thank you for this amazing experience! P.S. For comparison - the first photo is taken in Genoa - grilled octopus, the second one antipasto - octopus salad. Oh and I totally forgot I checked the prices of antipasto and maximum, maximum restaurants ask 12 euro for antipasti. So I feel super ribbed off!

Unfortunately, we had no possibility to have a dinner at this wonderful place. As a tourists coming from Nice for half of the day, we kindly asked a waitress for a table for 4 at 18:20 pm. We were told there are fully booked and they don’t have any available tables for us. Luckily, we had a picturesque and tasty dinner at I Gemelli. On the way back, actually, the Puny Ristorante was full. Joking, there was almost nobody. We’ve been to many places, but such situation is one of the worsts.
