Ristorante Le Cupole In Rapallo

What can I say... a wonderful experience! We chose this place for my birthday dinner. Every detail was taken care of, from the table settings to the service, which was attentive and friendly, but not intrusive. The dishes were all excellent, and we were pleasantly surprised by the attention to detail and the execution of a small birthday cake. They were happy to accommodate every request (even to prepare a risotto for just one person). The location and the view were a real plus. Highly recommended.

Amazing experience, great view, amazing food and service. By the end of the set we were so full that couldn’t accept the chefs compliment. So if you doubt that high cousin dishes will fill you up - don’t worry :)

Excellence in cuisine and a breathtaking view, an unforgettable experience. We dined at Le Cupole Restaurant on a summer evening and were thrilled. The dinner was a symphony of flavors: the seafood appetizers were a triumph of freshness (especially the red tuna with bottarga and the purple shrimp paired with prescinseua and basil), well explained by the staff and served with great attention.

We dined in heaven, eaten like God, the maître d' Andrea was an extraordinary professional!!! He accompanied us on this magnificent experience from start to finish. Thank you, we'll be back!

Unfortunately, we chose the large surprise menu. At the end of the evening, it felt as if the kitchen was checking what other tables were ordering and giving us another portion. The food was beautifully presented and, of course, fine for a restaurant of this quality, but nothing more. There was no wow factor. The service wasn't worthy of a Michelin star: - We waited 1.5 hours for the first course, and the restaurant wasn't full. - We weren't informed how many courses and what type of courses the surprise menu would consist of. Of the seven courses, we had four fish and one meat. The small meat course was sandwiched between two fish courses. (!?) - The wine was very good, but couldn't be coordinated with the other courses. We didn't expect more fish to follow the meat course. - We never saw the chef at our table the entire evening. All in all, the restaurant scores highly with its magnificent view and ambience. So far the worst of the restaurants we have visited.

First of all, location is fantastic. What a view and a nice breeze on a warm summer night. However, the food, although it looks good, just missed the spot. Most dishes had too much going on and flavors just did not work. This was a shame, because they used beautiful ingredients like wagyu A4. As for the staff, they were kind but nothing went smoothly. Always placed the plates at the wrong person, water bottles were brought to wrong tables etc. It just came across unprofessionally. If you want to enjoy the view, this is a good place to go, but don’t expect great food.

Ho vissuto un’esperienza gastronomica davvero eccezionale. Ogni piatto era curato nei minimi dettagli, con abbinamenti di sapori equilibrati e presentazioni raffinate che esaltavano la qualità delle materie prime. Il servizio è stato impeccabile: attento, discreto e sempre cordiale. L’atmosfera del locale è elegante e accogliente, perfetta per una serata speciale. Consiglio vivamente questo ristorante a chi desidera un’esperienza culinaria memorabile.

Ristorante situato nel piano attico dell'Hotel Bristol di Rapallo. Ambiente molto raffinato con una sbalorditiva vista sul golfo del Tigullio da Rapallo a Portofino. Personale di scuola alberghiera giovane e preparatissimo. Cucina completamente fuori daCUCINA qualsiasi schema usuale. Ogni piatto che viene ordinato viene servito con una miriade di altri piccoli assaggi che lasciano stupefatti per le molteplici complicazioni di ingredienti. Personalmente lo abbiamo trovato ristorante da grandi occasioni per una utenza di fascia molto elevata che desidera esperienze gastronomiche inusuali. Tutto perfetto, ma da ripetere a lunga distanza. Prezzo molto elevato ma giustificabile poiché lo chef esegue più una scultura che un piatto.

Our anniversary dinner proved a significant disappointment despite the high cost. While the views were exceptional and the food presentation innovative, the €500+ price tag did not reflect the quality of the cuisine. The "Chef's Experience Option" fell short of expectations; the menu lacked the premium ingredients one would anticipate at that price point, notably the absence of wagyu. Similarly, the "Elite" wine pairing was poorly timed and lacked adequate explanation of its complementarity to the dishes. In summary, the overall experience was unsatisfactory and did not justify the expense. In contrast, the restaurant on Floor 1 provided superior service and cuisine, a far more suitable choice for our anniversary celebration, as my wife repeatedly suggested.

An experience I will remember. Impeccable service. Top quality ingredients and top quality cuisine. Not to mention the location. Wow
