A corner of timeless elegance overlooking the sea: Lo Stella in Portofino is more than a restaurant; it's an authentic experience that combines tradition, sophistication, and a picture-perfect view.
Located in the heart of the famous Piazzetta, Lo Stella welcomes its guests with a familiar yet refined atmosphere, where attentive and discreet service complements dishes that showcase the flavors of the Ligurian sea.
The menu celebrates local cuisine with the freshest ingredients and a simplicity that never compromises flavor: from raw fish to homemade pasta, each course is a tribute to the region and seasonality. A must-try is the pesto, a Ligurian icon prepared according to tradition.
The unparalleled view of the marina, a magical experience at any time of day, makes the experience special.
Lo Stella is the perfect choice for those seeking authenticity, quality, and a touch of charm in the heart of Portofino.

The food is absolutely delicious. I love the vongole pasta, and the fried dishes aren’t oily at all. The tiramisu is rich and creamy. The waitress is very nice and polite, and the atmosphere is beautiful when sitting outside.

I had the octopus croquante, and spaghetti with fish, I was absolutely delicious.
I didn't check the rating on Google Review before dining but it's definitely better than the actual rating , I recommend
I usually avoid places near the water because many are tourist traps with no soul , this is a gem from my experience. Yes a bit pricy, but you need to pay for the location.
