Il Faro In Santa margherita ligure

If you’re looking for a home cooked Ligurian meal where the owners take care of you from the minute you enter, this is your place. Food is delicious, service is impeccable and you better make a reservation because our dinner was great! There’s also a great wine store right next-door. Stopped there first for some tastings and great small gift ideas!

Very tasty and lovingly prepared.

Excellent lunch with traditional flavors: simple and tasty. It was just what we were looking for for a quiet Sunday lunch. Very friendly staff. Highly recommended.

Stumbled across this lovely inviting restaurant. After traveling via Rome and Florence my wife and I agreed it is the best pasta so far. I had the pesto, potato and bean spaghetti and my wife had a seafood spaghetti. We finished with home made pies. It was the Italy I had imagined.

Nice, quiet place to have dinner. Popular with the locals. The couple that operate the place are nice and always smiling.

Truly amazing. My friend and I can’t stop talking about Roberto and Margherita. They are just the best! We love the fritto misto. The vongole, the trofie pesto and fish. Wine was excellent and service was just the best! They are a team and so sweet. We went twice in 3 days.

Such a comforting place for dinner especially after a long day basking in the sun. Roberto and Margarita run the show and do an excellent job of making you feel like a guest and not a customer. Absolutely recommend. I’ve seen reviews of people complaining about the wait time, but you’re in Italy and in a quiet beach town, who’s in a rush with this kind of atmosphere? It’s a small sweet team so patience is key and worth it when you try the food.

we were just walking around portofino with my husband and by chance found this small restaurant it turned out to be run by a very sweet couple husband and wife they welcomed us so nicely sat us down right away and brought two glasses of prosecco and a piece of homemade cake as a gift 🥰🥰🥰 so sweeeet the food was so tasty !!!! we honestly forgot to take pictures of half the dishes because we just ate everything right away 😆😆😁minestrone was amazing the pasta with vongole and clams just perfect and we did take some photos of the scampi and fresh tomato salad they also recommended us a wine that was simply incredible one of the best wines we’ve tried in Italy o really recommend this place ! maybe one of the most delicious spots we’ve ever been to in Portofino

A great Italian restaurant, with an exceptional welcome and dishes offered, each one as delicious as the next, made with fresh products!!! Located in a small alleyway away from the beach and the noise of cars, we had a very pleasant time! Special mention to the fried fish!

Amazing food and lovely owners. Place was very homey.
