One look up and down at us, a snickered whisper from the owner to the doorman, and we were turned away. This dump barely had any patrons inside, and yet they turned us away without any explanation, only a lie. Don't go!

Amazing restaurant in Portofino just right of the center square (facing from water). Fabulous…read moreservice, great ambiance and beautifully located on the water. There are actually two restaurants by the same name, owned by brothers, on each side of the square. Started with a nice Caprese salad, onto a tasteful pasta dish and then a filet with roasted potatoes. My wife and I loved everything about this charming restaurant and will definitely be back when in the area again.

I gave this restaurant a try since the reviews were above average but I was disappointed…read more The service was very good, and the location front row on the port. We had the caprese salad, grilled prawns, and grilled sea bream. The salad lacked flavor, the grilled "prawns" were not prawns but 5 medium sized shrimp (about $50) and the fish although fresh also lacked taste. Service: 8/10 Location: 10/10 Food: 3/10

The pizza was about 14" and had thin crust. It can feed two, if you're not that hungry. They will even split the pie onto two plates if that's you want. The quality was fairly standard. They're very friendly and accommodating. Cards are accepted, so it's convenient.

Went to Portofino for breakfast quite early after my morning run (and shower). It's a pretty…read morepeaceful time to just jump on the bus for 5 EUR and visit for a few hours. Bar Morena is one of the 8 or so restaurants that are waterside and one of but 3 that are open for breakfast. I kept it simple and had a caffe americano and toast with ham and cheese. The toast was quite large and filling...certainly enough for a post-run re-fueling. Service was ok and it was a relaxing spot to chill and take in the shopkeepers who were preparing to open their stores. Early morning is a great time to take in Portofino given that it's pretty quiet and peaceful...and taking the bus from Santa Margherita Liguere avoids the need to drive the tight roads from SM Liguere to Portofino.

This was one of our favorite meals. The fish could not be fresher. As we were walking in, the chef…read morewas choosing his fish from a bucket and we followed the fresh fish to our table. It was a chilly night, so the tarps were up. We sat right on the edge of in and out. Out chairs were inside, but we were facing out on a wall that wasn't there. Lovey views of the water and boats but we stayed warm. We ordered a nice shrimp salad for an app. We split it and it was delicious. It was the right amount of food to start. Next we chose sea bass with roasted potatoes and olives. It was so good. The fish is for at least two people. It is served on a big platter and you dish your own plates. The presentation was beautiful but the taste was even better. The price was determined by a set amount x the size of the fish. Our bill was around $150eu for everything, including drinks, dessert, etc. Again, one of our favorite meals in our nearly 4 weeks in Italy. We chose the molten chocolate cake for dessert and the waiter also brought out an additional free plate of small amaretto cookies, chocolate, and gumdrops. So good. Service was excellent. It was a short 15 min walk from our hotel. Was glad to have the walk home to wear off a bit of all I ate.

You face the harbor and people watch. This restaurant is apparently favored by the locals, everyone seemed to know the owner. Service is friendly and official. The waiter recommended the whole fish, oven roasted with potatoes, shallots and olives. For appetizer a salad with local shrimp. We had our own desserts. We shared everything else and that was enough. Food was simple, fresh and delicious. Recommended whites were great. Price for 2, with 1 bottle of wine, water, 2 glasses of dessert wine, 1 appetizer and 1 main dish - €160. That's reasonable for this place.
