Ristorante Puny In Portofino

People complaining about the prices at Puny must think they’re in a beach shack somewhere in rural Italy—not in Portofino, one of the poshest places in the country. This isn’t your local pizzeria in a tiny village—it’s Puny, the iconic spot right on the harbor. Expecting a €10 pasta here is like walking into Chanel and asking for a discount on a handbag. I also assume those people haven’t been to places like St. Tropez, St. Moritz, Ibiza, or Mykonos—where prices are often MUCH higher. For where you are and what you get, I think it’s more than fair. The food? Classic Ligurian and seriously delicious. The staff? Super sharp and genuinely kind—we had a gluten-intolerant child with us, and they handled it with incredible care and attention. The owner is out-going and entertaining, and then there’s my favorite: Renato! So kind, and impressively fluent in many languages. I’ve personally seen Madonna, Diane von Fürstenberg and Jeff Bezos here. I have friends who stop with their boats in Portofino only to have lunch at Puny. This place is basically where celebrities and foodies casually enjoy their “Pappardelle Portofino.” If you want the real Portofino experience—amazing food, top-tier people-watching, and a taste of glam—Puny is the place. If you’re looking for a budget-friendly, casual dinner… this isn’t your spot. Simple as that. PS: If I could only give one advice: a few more healthy and interesting vegetarian options would be wonderful and very much appreciated!

The restaurant has great food and great service!!! The place looks great but the only problem is it’s too packed up, I mean the tables are TOO close to each other.

Spectacular place, personalized attention, and super fresh and delicious pasta.

Very overrated. Food very average and microscopic portions. Would not recommend.

The food was good and the atmosphere as well as the service. Quite expensive though and also 14 euro pp for the service which was a bit unexpected

Gita domenicale tra San Fruttuoso e Rapallo con tappa obbligatoria a Portofino per pranzo da Puny! Pur essendo in piazzetta a Portofino, l'ambiente è familiare, come nella trattoria "di casa". Professionalità, cordialità, discrezione, attenzione e qualità sia nel cibo che nei vini. Pesce al verde delicato, molto piacevole. Così come le trofie al pesto. Ogni volta che vado a Portofino Puny è tappa obbligata!

In my opinion I ate very tasty, the fish was wonderful and the service was also incredible

This is a truly wonderful restaurant. Good ingredients, simply but deliciously prepared, magical setting. Fabulous!

Impeccable service Excellent cuisine

Situato nella "piazzetta" offre una vista completa di questa meraviglia per gli occhi che è Portofino. Servizio accogliente, efficace, cortese, attento e professionale. Piatti di ottimo gusto, pertanto non solo per turisti...
