Portofino Ristorante In Castellammare del golfo

Best restaurant in Castellamare

A restaurant with a terrace overlooking the marina. We had a brusiata with trizzana and a brusiata with swordfish. What can I say, it's been a while since I've had such good pasta... too bad I didn't take a couple of photos, I'll have to go back 😜

Very nice restaurant with a view of the marina... excellent quality raw materials, well-stocked raw fish and generous portions, fair prices and fast and very kind service.

The food was delicious, but not enough for the price: A glass of white wine, a large sparkling water, pasta with (a little) lobster, pasta with eggplant, and a decaf coffee cost 87 euros. I'd like to point out that the staff is very friendly. There are better options nearby.

We took a boat trip and then on the advice of our skipper Ermanno we ate here very kindly. I am allergic to gluten and lactose and was pleasantly served with every care. Nice quality fish, dishes and portions of the right size, facing the sea... to return and not to forget their cassata.

A well-organized restaurant, with excellent raw fish, sea urchin linguine, fried fish, and swordfish, all cooked to perfection, accompanied by boiled meats. The friendly and knowledgeable staff are always attentive to customer needs. Good value for money.

We had lunch at this restaurant and had a great time. The food was very good, especially the fish, which seemed fresh and well-cooked. However, the portions seemed a bit small for the price: among the restaurants I've tried in Castellammare, this is one of the most expensive. The quality is still good. The service could be quicker, but the staff were friendly and helpful.

Excellent restaurant for raw fish and fried fish

We came here on a recommendation from a local but unfortunately our experience was very disappointing. Upon arrival, the hostess was rude — even though we had booked a table weeks in advance, we were pointed to a few tables in the back corner. When we asked about a table with a view, we were told those were “reserved before us,” yet we later saw walk-ins being seated at better tables. Service was very slow. It took a long time to place our order, and after finishing our glasses of wine, no one came to check if we wanted more. The food itself was just okay, but for the price, we were expecting much better — especially compared to the excellent meals we’ve had elsewhere in Sicily. The atmosphere felt off, with some guests clearly being treated differently than others. We ended up leaving quickly as the service and overall experience were disappointing.

Very fresh fish, delicious dinner
