La Gritta In Portofino

A must in Portofino! how is this place not rated higher?! We come to Portofino once a year from New York, and La Gritta is always on our list. We’re not full-time locals, but we feel like it when we’re here—and this place feels like part of our summer tradition. The food is insanely good like, truly unforgettable. The pasta is the kind you daydream about long after the trip is over. The vibe is fun, relaxed, and full of life. And the service? So warm and genuine. It’s the kind of spot where you instantly feel taken care of. I only found out about the low reviews because I was telling a friend to go and I actually had to double check the page because I was like, wait… what?! A 2.5 star rating makes no sense. It’s like we ate at a completely different restaurant than those reviewers. If you’re in Portofino and want delicious food, a great atmosphere, and a place that just gets it right go to La Gritta. Trust me. You’ll be so happy you did.

I am giving it 5 stars! They have good pasta (I especially liked the pesto one), good nice ppl with good service, great views.

It's not cheap, but delicious. The service was very nice and helpful. Delicious desserts.

During our visit to Portofino from the US, my family and I decided to have lunch at La Gritta after a day of exploring. Upon our arrival, we were warmly welcomed by what appeared to be the owner or manager, who kindly offered us a seat. He promptly took our drink orders and returned to take our lunch selections. Although we felt a little rushed at times, the overall experience was pleasant. Unsure of what to order, I turned to my brother-in-law, who is Italian, for guidance. After a brief conversation with my sister-in-law, she suggested I try the fish, which I happily ordered. My husband and son opted for pasta dishes, as did my brother-in-law. We all found the food to be quite enjoyable. The weather was lovely, making our outdoor seating even more delightful. After our meal, we indulged in coffee. We used the restroom during our visit, and I was pleased to find it clean and well-maintained. I’m not certain about the total bill, as my brother-in-law took care of it, but overall, we had a great meal and solid service.

Durante nuestra visita a Portofino desde los Estados Unidos, mi familia y yo decidimos almorzar en La Gritta después de un día de exploración. A nuestra llegada, nos dieron una cálida bienvenida por lo que parecía ser el propietario o gerente, que amablemente nos ofreció un asiento. Inmediatamente tomó nuestros pedidos de bebidas y regresó para tomar nuestras selecciones de almuerzo. Aunque nos sentimos un poco apresurados a veces, la experiencia en general fue agradable. Inseguro de qué pedir, recurrí a mi hermano -el suegro-, que es italiano, en busca de orientación. Después de una breve conversación con mi hermana, la suegra, me sugirió que probara el pescado, que ordené felizmente. Mi marido y mi hijo optaron por platos de pasta, al igual que mi hermano - en la ley. Todos encontramos la comida para ser bastante agradable. El clima era encantador, haciendo que nuestros asientos al aire libre sean aún más encantadores. Después de nuestra comida, disfrutamos de café. Utilizamos el baño durante nuestra visita, y me gustó encontrarlo limpio y bien cuidado. No estoy seguro sobre la factura total, ya que mi hermano - en - la ley se encargó de ello, pero en general, tuvimos una gran comida y un servicio sólido.

Lunch in December, outdoors, by the sea, with the sun. This alone would be enough to justify the trip! Decent food. Excellent service and courtesy. Account "from Portofino" !!!!!

Beautiful venue and wonderful experience. Excellent quality food, breathtaking view, excellent service, excellent starter. The top.

An aperitif or after dinner on this wonderful barge is a must if you pass through Portofino

Historic place in Portofino. The interior is small with a few tables and an original bar counter. Large outdoor area and covered floating shelter with around ten tables. We had an aperitif with 2 beers; 2 tastings of raw fish, cheese, chips, olives and more. Fast service, friendly staff. An infinite number of drinks and cocktails are indicated on the menu. It's true that prices are not indicated on the menu. When you pay, the price is perfectly in line with the place and location.

Alors, le cadre est sympa et vous allez le payer, cher, très cher. Carte des apéritifs pas de tarif. À la tête du client. Les autres ont chips et olives qui vont avec pas nous. Les entrées sont bonnes mais chères, Les desserts, oui on passe direct au desserts 😂 sont tous à 15€ Tarte au pommes ridicule mais bonne 15€. Bref pas 2 fois. 145€ pour 2, apéro sans olives, entrées dessert eau .
