Sottocoperta In Portofino

I don't usually respond to defamation, but rereading the latest reviews leaves me shocked... made by a single table with the aim of casting mud on a cuisine that is anything but mediocre. There's nothing frozen. It's very simple cuisine, but it's made with fresh ingredients. I wanted to advise those who write reviews that if they didn't like the service, or if the bill was too expensive for you (in which case, don't come to Portofino for service in the piazzetta, but go to Busalla under a chimney), you're right, but don't blame the food. I can intervene with the waiter... Sometimes it's the customer who mistreats the establishment and the waiter... and then gets too upset by writing lies... In my twenty years of experience, I've learned one thing: if a waiter isn't adequate, or the bill is expensive, the customer blames the kitchen. If the waiter smiles and sells something that isn't good, the customer praises the entire establishment... poor Portofino... be more objective and honest. I miss the good old days when Portofino was a destination for education... and yet today we in the Piazzetta have to deal with people who destroy your bathroom and then complain that it's dirty, stand on the cushions, and then complain and write things that don't correspond to reality just because you asked them to show respect for a place that isn't their home... who come at Easter, one of the busiest days of the season, after waiting in line for hours, expect not to have to wait in the PIAZZETTA and to be served immediately, complaining about slow service... Be more honest, objective, and sincere. Thank you.

Really liked the place, the people were very nice and you are right by the sea. I would recommend! They had great gluten free pizza and pasta.

The other people who posted disastrous reviews about this restaurant are abusers, so yes, it's not incredible. The service isn't great at all (there are only two servers working and they're quite friendly, and the other two don't do anything). The food is decent without being incredible, even if the portions are relatively small. But the thing that shocked me a little was the price of the drinks, which are mind-boggling: €7 for a coke, €4 for a 70cl bottle of water, and so on. In short, it's not an exceptional restaurant, but it's far from being worth just 1.5 stars; it would be a matter of measuring things a little.

I had an amazing experience at this restaurant the food was great the service was great our food came out fast I wouldn't recommend the pizza but the pasta and focaccia is to die for 100% would recommend giving it a try

The chair is so stupid that the bag touches the floor when you squat.

The food was great. The atmosphere was amazing, I don’t know why the people rate them too low, I ordered pesto pizza and Gnocchi pesto

Loved everything - from food to friendly service. We ordered spaghetti with burrata and cherries - 10/10.

It is one of the best places to eat in Portofino, I have been to many places in Italy and this place is one of the best.

We ordered a takeaway pizza here. + The pizza was really delicious, contrary to other reviews here. + The pizza dough was well-cooked and cooked through, nice and crispy but not too dark. + The restroom was clean. - The pizza was very small. - We had to pay a table fee even though we ordered takeaway. - The pizza had meager toppings.

We had a wonderful meal here. The waiter came to our table immediately, and we waited fifteen minutes for our food. The pizza was delicious, as was the pasta with salmon. We had it in the square, with a man who plays the piano brilliantly.
