Il Porteghetto In

It's truly a pleasure to review this restaurant, which we've been visiting for several months now. Over the course of four dinners, we had the opportunity to try several dishes from a menu that stands out for its quality and creativity. But let's take it one step at a time. The location is unparalleled: directly overlooking the sea, surrounded by cliffs, at the foot of a medieval village, nestled like a gem among maritime pines. The interior is elegant and meticulously maintained, yet welcoming. The bottles on display are stunning, with sophisticated and very stylish lighting. Excellent service: very courteous and professional staff, always attentive to the customer. A special thanks to the owner for her kindness, friendliness, and for the wonderful evenings in her enchanting restaurant. The menu: stellar. Beautiful dishes where excellent ingredients are enhanced with creative combinations in a play of contrasts that leaves you speechless. Careful research goes into the creation of these dishes, along with a lot of hard work, excellent technique, and endless passion. An impressive wine list, with a wide selection of wines from both Italian and international producers. Desserts: These deserve a separate review. Here, the chef's visionary madness and genius find their true expression. A world tour featuring sorbets, gelatos, and desserts paired with spirits, liqueurs, and fruit. I tried an incredible and counterintuitive dessert: Parmesan gelato with extra virgin olive oil and pepper. Simply amazing, hypnotic. Bill: reasonable for the quality of the dinner. Highly recommended. Missing out would be a missed opportunity to discover a corner of paradise.

Super location, modern and very beautiful, unfortunately the food wasn't up to par for our taste. The bill was steep.

The restaurant boasts a stunning location and a very pleasant atmosphere both inside and out, making the evening truly special. The staff is friendly and contributes to a welcoming and relaxing experience. However, I did encounter a few issues. The dishes, aside from the excellent dessert, didn't live up to my expectations: I would have expected more elaborate and meticulous preparation. The value for money didn't convince me, as the bill was high for what I ate. Furthermore, the lack of dedicated parking is a significant inconvenience: the options offered are far away and all require a fee. In summary, the ambiance and service are excellent, but the high price and quality of the dishes (except for the desserts) don't justify the price. If you're looking for a place with a breathtaking view and a unique atmosphere, this restaurant is for you, but be prepared to pay a hefty price for a dining experience that may not fully meet your expectations.

Nice restaurant on the water, beautiful view and slightly less touristy than the nearby village. The pasta and fritto misto were delicious.

I went there for breakfast a few days ago. The brioches 🥐 are delicious and served still warm, the service is very efficient, and the surrounding atmosphere is breathtaking. The sea view in the morning, sipping Porteghetto's delicious cappuccino, was one of the best experiences I've had here in Cervo. I absolutely recommend it for special dinners, too!

An elegant and refined restaurant with a sea-view terrace. Excellent ingredients and traditional dishes. Friendly and helpful staff. Good value for money, a place we'll definitely return to.

A must-see. Stunning location, simple yet refined bistro cuisine. The bistro is located upstairs, making it ideal for just an aperitif.

A beautiful place to eat and relax with deckchairs on the rocks. The food is delicious and the setting is idyllic!

Che evoluzione! Lo ricordo oltre 40 anni fa, quando era un bar (seppure “fighetto”). Ora è un ristorante raffinato a completa (o quasi) gestione femminile.

“Esperienza eccellente! Ho mangiato divinamente: piatti curati, sapori autentici e ingredienti di qualità. Ma il vero valore aggiunto sono stati i gestori, “Giorgio e Mary”, accoglienti, disponibili e appassionati, che hanno reso la giornata ancora più speciale. Tornerò sicuramente!”
