It sports a barge that floats on the water and provides additional seating along with a world-class view of the marina. Tip: They start serving dinner at 7pm. Reservations are strongly advised as it gets crazy busy during peak meal times. Skipper is an ideal place to watch a sunset, do a little people watching and enjoy either dinner or an apertivo. Their menu selection is surprisingly broad, the wait staff is friendly and accomodating, and they even provide free WiFi for those clients who can't quite bring themselves to totally kick back and go with the flow :-) We enjoyed the food here so much we actually made a point of having a 2nd dinner here before leaving Santa Margherita Ligure. Everything is they serve is exceptional but I particularly enjoyed their seafood pasta - highly recommended!

Shortly after arriving in Santa Margherita Ligure, I decided to venture out for dinner. Ristorante…read moreSkipper was recommended by my hotel and it didn't disappoint. Upon arrival, the owner offered the best seat on the boat (pontoon boat) which was docked right across from the restaurant. However it afforded great views of the town and harbor. For my appetizer, I had the warm octopus and potato salad and it was wonderful. The octopus was tender and nicely prepared. For my main, I had the seafood pasta. The pasta was of course prepared al dente and the clams, mussels, shrimp and langostino were all fresh and perfectly prepared. To accompany the meal I had a great bottle of prosecco. Throughout the entire meal the service was nothing short of exceptional. The entire staff was attentive and ensured the wine glass was always full. I would certainly return on a future visit to S.M. Ligure.

Fast forward to now, and it's not quite the same. The staff isn't very friendly, and trust me, that matters way more than you think when you're on vacation. The gelato itself is still solid, especially if you're into fruity flavors, but it doesn't have that old charm that made it memorable. Definitely good for a quick fruity fix, but "service with a smart smile" was lacking compared to the way it used to be.

We couldn't wait to get out of Vernazza (unfortunately, our least favorite of the Cinque Terre),…read morebut we would gladly hike back for the cinnamon gelato here. I didn't expect to like it as much as I did, but almost every review I read mentioned it as a must-try, and I'm so glad I did. It's a strong but delightful cinnamon flavor, and it's not overpowering. Our eyes widened as we ate it, because it tasted exactly the way a cinnamon stick smells. They somehow transformed a basic common spice into something new and exotic. I've never eaten anything like it before. Meanwhile, my husband got a lemon slush because we were hot and sweaty from hiking between towns. It hit the spot perfectly and was so refreshing without being too sweet. Even though I loved my gelato, I also couldn't resist stealing more than a few sips. The location is perfect too, just near the center of town and also near a ledge by the water where you can sit while you people-watch and enjoy your sweet treat. Definitely make this your gelato stop in Cinque Terre. Order the cinnamon, and I promise you won't be disappointed!

The ambience was welcoming, with seating inside and outside, and a big display of available pastries. The line gets a little long in the 9 o'clock hour, so get there earlier to miss the line and get seating. I wish we could have tried more things later in the day such as the focaccia sandwiches and tortas, but we also wanted to try other places. Next time!

We had some Amarena Cherry, Chocolate-Mint, Mango and also chestnut flavoured gelato. All four of them were very tasty. Amarena and chocolate-mint are always great, but chestnut isn't that easy to find, so you definitely should try that. The Gelato here is fair priced, the texture perfect. Nice, smooth, creamy. Real quality ice cream. And it shows: it is quite popular and depending on the day there might be a line. Surely we'll be back next year for some more.
