I migliori ristoranti di cucina italiananella città Portovenere della La spezia

26/10/2025: Excellent service, delicious food, and a charming location! Very friendly owners.

23/10/2025: 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.

29/12/2025: Warm atmosphere, pleasant service and quality food! We thoroughly enjoyed our meal and had a wonderful time!

08/12/2025: Located less than a kilometer from the center of Portovenere, La Chiglia restaurant was one of the best surprises of our holiday here. The restaurant is seafront with parking, and the food, service, and friendliness are five-star. If you're in the area and want to eat expertly prepared, fresh fish and more, this is the place for you.

09/01/2026: Absolutely recommended for value for money, we go there often and are always satisfied!

07/01/2026: Excellent restaurant with fast and professional service. The quality/price ratio is noteworthy. The location and sea view are enviable.

06/12/2025: A small restaurant facing the Fezzano marina. Excellent cuisine.

23/10/2025: Everything was absolutely delicious — from the crispy fried calamari to the pasta and the mussels, every dish was full of flavor. The wine was so good I couldn’t help but have a few extra glasses. What really made the experience even better was the amazing service from Genaro and his brother — they made us feel truly welcome. We’ll most likely come back, not only because of the food, but because of how great the whole evening was.

07/12/2025: Great discovery. We came for lunch and found a relaxing and cosy vibe (it's winter time). Food was delicious, nicely presented and reasonably priced. Staff was friendly and welcoming. We'll be back for sure !

12/11/2025: Delicious food, great service and a lovely atmosphere - calm, unrushed and casual, exactly what we were looking for at lunch. The pistachio semifreddo deserves a special mention - one of the best desserts I've ever tried! - as does the sciachetrá with cantucci. Highly recommended

04/12/2025: A beautiful location and atmosphere, I was very pleased and relieved when they said they could make the pesto pasta vegan so I could eat it (no milk, eggs). Unfortunately we had requested penne pesto pasta and after twice bringing us the wrong pasta we decided to leave it. They said they wouldn't charge us as we had really tried to explain we wanted penne, but they still charged us which meant we ended up paying for two extra dishes. They also didn't say the bread cost extra too. To be honest I think they just thought we were foreigners they could hustle, so could be worth you showing a photo of what you want as 'penne' isn't clear enough and you'll end up with 'trofie' or the small penne instead of the larger size that I thought was standard for penne. 😂👎🏻

06/11/2025: A fabulous experience. Superb fried food delivered directly to the dock and enjoyed on the boat between Portovenere and La Palmaria. Compliments go to Massimo. We'll definitely be back.

24/01/2026: Excellent dinner. We ordered the mixed appetizers for two, and we ended up with 12 truly delicious appetizer courses. The tuna steak was excellent, with the freshest fish! The squid ink tagliatelle wasn't the best, but everything else was excellent! Excellent service and a very varied and quality wine list! Highly recommended.

21/10/2025: Beautifully situated on the water, it's incredibly cozy when it gets dark and the lights in the bay come on. The food was good, but nothing more to say. Service is prompt but not entirely up to par with the rules of gastronomy.

11/10/2025: Fantastic Stay at Grand Hotel Portovenere! 🌊 I've just had the most magical 3-night stay at the Grand Hotel Portovenere, and I'm already dreaming of going back! This place is an absolute gem, set in a beautifully restored 17th-century convent right on the water's edge. From the moment we arrived, the staff went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. Their kindness and passion for the region truly made our trip special. The food was a highlight every single day. Dining at the Palmaria Restaurant with its stunning panoramic terrace views was an experience in itself. The cuisine was innovative, fresh, and absolutely delicious—a perfect taste of Liguria! Waking up to the view of the colorful harbor and Palmaria Island from our balcony was unforgettable. The hotel's location is perfect, right in the heart of charming Portovenere and with the ferry to the Cinque Terre literally at your doorstep. If you're looking for a luxurious, romantic, and utterly satisfying escape, look no further. I can't recommend this hotel enough!

14/08/2025: An amazing vacation; calling it a hotel is an understatement given the many activities available thanks to the concierge's invaluable advice. We tried the sunset boat excursion with aperitif and an exclusive boat tour of the Cinque Terre. Needless to say, the location is fantastic for visiting the center and the famous church of San Pietro. Close to excellent restaurants, including the Grand Hotel's own: the Palmaria restaurant. The friendly, helpful staff helped make those days and our stay at the Grand Hotel itself a special memory...thanks again!

22/08/2025: Exceptional in every way: top-quality ingredients, attentive, friendly, and attentive service, superb cuisine. Well done! 👏 You only eat what's in the kitchen (and only fish), a guarantee of the quality of the dishes. The owner tells many anecdotes that brighten the evening. We'll definitely be back!

13/08/2025: We had a wonderful evening!! The terrace setting is idyllic. It's easy to understand and feel that this is a generous meal prepared by passionate people whose goal is to showcase local produce. The meal was divine, as was the service. A must-do if you're near Cinque Terre, rather than heading to a tourist trap.

28/12/2025: Today, December 28th, I had the worst experience in terms of catering, not because of the food, but because of the dishonesty of the waiter who charged me double. If you go, ask first the cost of a tasting of typical products (on the menu €25 for two ... paid €50), and a plate of spaghetti with fish for two, list price €20, always split between two... (paid more than €50).

21/10/2025: There's always a good opportunity to go

18/01/2026: A beautiful restaurant in Portovenere, overlooking the sea and the snow-capped mountains of the Tuscan-Emilian Apennines. We went in to enjoy some fried fish (it must be very fresh, given the restaurant's location, I thought). I read the menu and saw an asterisk (😳). I asked the waiter for clarification, and he confirmed that the product was frozen!!! We left the restaurant with two good-quality pizzas. A seagull with its wings tied!!!!

15/01/2026: Sit outside right next to the water and boats, you won't regret it.
