Caffè Portanova In Roccalbegna

15/09/2025: I always preface this by saying 1. I rate considering that the person I rate is putting in (presumably) their utmost effort. 2. My rating is 'relative' to the type of location/restaurant, etc. That is, there can be 5 stars for a campsite as well as for a ***** Superior hotel. Naturally, they have a different 'value'. That said... We wanted to go beyond the current 3.5 reviews, even though, to be honest, they're already a little suspicious (especially given the considerable number of reviews). But considering that our clear and simple goal was focused on a good pizza in a nice setting, we wanted to proceed. Given, basically, the advertised wood-fired oven and that this pizzeria appeared 'convenient' and charming, overlooking the harbor and with ready parking (I'm writing this in mid-September). Result: Simple/rustic setting... appreciable if you like. Without dwelling on some of the details, among which the white plastic chairs that no longer even have speakers stand out... the tablecloths🤦... Pizzas. More than decent. Thin dough that you may or may not like, as opposed to the "thick and fluffy" one. Negative notes. *A: "Have you booked?", a bit indignant upon arrival. Please note... with 80% of the tables empty at the time and remaining that way until we left, it seemed truly unwelcoming. *A final coffee that, if not the worst I've ever had, is certainly tops. Indescribable, unsuspecting. Like a second, maybe third, serving. * The final price for two pizzas + two medium beers + one water + one coffee was close to 50 euros... Not fair. Unacceptable: 6.50 euros for an ordinary medium beer... never seen that before. Undoubtedly a beautiful location, convenient, but never again.
