Ristorante Elettra In Portovenere

Excellent service, delicious food, and a charming location! Very friendly owners.

Picturesque location let down by poor service. Visited for lunch and tried to explain to the elderly waiter (with the help of Google translate) that we do not speak Italian and we would do our best to communicate in Italian. From there the level of service plummeted. We ordered scampi and a pesto spaghetti dish. The later did not arrive with the former and eventually we asked about the missing meal. A few words were spoken between two waiters and 15 minutes later, the spaghetti dish eventually arrived with no apology or explanation. We had walked passed several other restaurants along the harbour front and chosen Elettra, in part, due to the linen table cloths expecting commensurate service levels. We were sadly mistaken and left with the feeling that the waiter did not want to serve tourists.

Pleasantly authentic restaurant with exemplary service and excellent cuisine - the mixed starters for two are especially recommended!

Well, Roni's review, as well as the post about the food and the memory card, is misleading because he wants to review a restaurant in Greece, but links it to this one. Of course, the menu here is different, which is why my partner and I left the restaurant without eating after a beer. But the beer was good and reasonably priced. The staff handled our appearance with composure...

They welcomed us without a reservation. The atmosphere was refined with a stunning sea view. We ordered pasta with clams and pasta with pesto: very good, although a little too salty. Friendly and quick service. Good value. Recommended.

Excellent restaurant for an evening overlooking the sea.

On Saturday, September 6, 2025, my wife and I ate spaghetti with clams; they were truly excellent. The lady who welcomed us, I believe the owner, was incredibly kind and friendly. We'll be back!

Few dishes, but with very fresh fish and original combinations. I recommend the seafood appetizer and the grilled calamari (delicious).

A welcoming restaurant with very friendly staff, not to mention the owner, who is incredibly sweet. The food is excellent and quite plentiful. Fresh fish, well-cooked. Fair prices for the quality offered.

Very nice place with a terrace overlooking the sea! Very good food! I had the seafood tagliatelle and the grilled calamari! Good food, short wait!
