Antica Osteria del Carugio In Portovenere

Well done, keep up the good work, I had a great time, it's a bit pricey but it's worth it, the cappon magro is exceptional, the ravioli stuffed with fish and the stuffed mussels are delicious, go there and if you don't know the cappon magro it will certainly be a nice surprise.

We had dinner here with friends. It was a memorable evening. I personally had the Gratafin and the pasta with mussels, and to finish, the lemon cake. It was a great value. Thanks again to Alessandro for the excellent dinner.

An unforgettable culinary experience in the heart of Portovenere. We had a divine dinner, savoring the true flavors of Ligurian tradition: from the freshest seafood appetizers to the homemade first courses that taste of tradition. The wine list deserves special mention: we drank truly well, with local labels that enhanced every course. The staff were welcoming and the location was charming. If you're looking for quality and the authentic flavors of Liguria, this is the place. We'll definitely be back next time we vacation in the area.

On the recommendation of a trusted person who had already appreciated the restaurant, I booked at Antica Osteria del Carugio, and the experience exceeded my expectations. The atmosphere was very refined and welcoming, and the authentic cuisine was excellent, with dishes that showcased the local flavors to the fullest. All this was accompanied by attentive, prompt, and highly professional service. I would definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone visiting Portovenere: an absolute must-see!

A refined, intimate, and characteristic atmosphere, with friendly and competent staff. Delicious dishes, made with excellent and refined ingredients. Fantastic homemade pasta and excellent fish. Highly recommended. 😊

Portions were very small and for an unjustifiably high price (especially the potatoes; a handful of potatoes for 6.5 euros is highway robbery) Dont get me wrong, the food was very good tasting and traditional. I dont think the high price is justified by the small portions though. If you want to have a snack and eat some good food, go eat here, if you’re hungry, dont.

A very positive experience. As soon as you step through the front door, you immediately experience a sense of order and beauty, stemming from the care the owner has given to the interior design, particularly the vaulted walls finished with exposed brick. The extensive and varied menu offers dishes inspired by local and Ligurian culinary traditions. The idea of ​​offering a taste of their own oil, based on an interesting experience the owners had with reclaiming a local olive grove, was a delightful one. A delicious lunch with well-balanced flavors. The staff was welcoming and friendly. The prices are in line with the quality offered. I will definitely be back.

I went to this place for lunch. The location is cute and well-maintained. The staff was friendly and helpful. We had an appetizer (bread and their own olive oil), two first courses (trofie with pesto and trio of testaroli), and one second course (octopus with potatoes). Everything was delicious! The only downside was the bill: €71 for two. The value for money wasn't great: two espressos at €2.50 each and a 1-liter bottle of water at €3.50 a bottle was a steal! The desserts were also completely overpriced: the cheapest one was €8! I understand they're homemade, but they cost almost as much as a first course. When paying, we asked to split the bill and ended up paying €36 each! That means they overcharged us by €1. Even if it's only €1, these tricks aimed at tourists certainly won't make us want to return! What a shame.

Very satisfied with how I ate and with the location, a little less with the service due to an extra starter that we didn't order and which we ended up keeping.

We had an extremely pleasant experience here! The food was great, the staff was super nice and the atmosphere and the interiors were just perfect. Thank you for having us!
