The raw seafood appetizer was super-fresh and delicious... even the little croquet that came first was wonderful.

I cannot recommend this restaurant highly enough and wish it wasn't 4,300+ miles from home!

The staff was warm and inviting since the second we walked in. The overall ambience was entertaining with the mix of music that was being played (salsa, bachata, latin top 100) and the tables were spaced apart for privacy. For my appetizer, I had the Seafood Antipasti. It was delicious and a great mix of local catches. It had sardines, oysters, and a stuffed seafood and cream empanada. My only dislike was I wished I had more haha. The Trofie di Pesto was downright delicious and well cooked. The only reason I can't give them five stars, is because it was pricy compared to other places and the portions given were a bit small. Despite this, I recommend this restaurant for a romantic dinner with a partner.

Ilaria was our great and kind waitress at Portivene In Porto Venere. You can't miss her with her dyed red hair. Great clams & muscles, glasses of delicious red and cold white wine served with pesto pasta along With an unbelievable tasty local fish of some kind, (which we could not pronounce). The local wine we sipped at our table on the tiny street, was better than what we had in some of the finest restaurants in Rome. Our desserts work extremely tasteful and the perfect end of the meal. We didn't want to leave our little table. What a great little find!
