Set on the Gulf of Tigullio between Rapallo and Portofino, the resort/fishing town of Santa Margherita Ligure really couldn’t be in a better neighborhood. Fashionable but much quieter than Portofino, life in Santa Margherita Ligure centers around the lovely palm-laden harbor, where boating and simple sunning are the orders of the day. The town has some good shopping options, lovely cafes and interesting sights like its 16th-century castle and the 17th-century Basilica di Santa Margherita.

Le Cupole Restaurant is located on the top floor of the Grand Hotel Bristol in Rapallo Italy. Great food, unforgattable view, "money for value" place. We are on Alain Ducasse Carnet Gourmand.

We booked this restaurant to celebrate our 20th wedding anniversary while on holiday in Italy. We specifically booked this one as it has a tasting menu, something we always look out for.The Hotel (Bristol) is just outside the main area of Rapello some 10 minute walk. The restaurant itself is on the top floor with outside seating which as views go is ok, nothing special.Sadly the food was very much the same, out of the 7 courses, there was only one that stood out as very good, the rest were forgettable, either because they really weren't very good or the presentation was "slopped on a plate"Certainly somewhere I wouldn't rush back to.Dear Guest,thank you for your review and cid sorry to read that you did not perceive the quality you expected. Sometimes the dishes are specially prepared in the way you define "cut" ... Sincerely

A special marriage between the delicate genovese tradition, and the finest research of the modern cuisine. The menu exalts seafood and shellfishes, as a result of years of competent passion for the Italian cuisine. Chef Mario Giovinazzo is proud and happy

We went to Pado on the recommendation of our hotel, and the chef and our server Marco made our last night in Santa Margherita a most memorable one. The setting is overlooking the marina (outside seating as well as inside seating). We had swordfish as an appetizer followed by shrimp risotto, and for the main course we had the house specialty (the scampi) and a local fish recommended by our server. Fresh ingredients and the most incredible light sauces to accompany the delicate seafood flavours. Fantastic white wine (Cinque Terre Reserva 2017) and fresh peaces and ice cream for dessert. We can't recommend this place enough. Ask for Marco and just have what he recommends. You can't go wrong!Dear Renée,first of all thank you very much for choosing Padò. The staff (and Marco of course), and the chef really appreciate your kind words in describing your dinner, our speciality "Scampi di Mario" and the delicacy of the ingredients. In particular, peaches with fresh mint and prosecco sparkling wine are our finest choice for dessert, very good choice! We hope to welcome you again!Best Regards,

My husband and I went to this restaurant and were terribly disappointed. My husband ordered the soup which was cold and inedible. Our waitress tried to sell him on it by taking the spoon and pointing out the beans and the âI donât know what that is calledâ in it. As we sat eating our pizza staff members carried bags of garbage past our table along with the organic waste pail (there went the soup).Staff seemed more interested in changing out of their uniforms and waving good bye to fellow members than looking after patrons. All in all, I would have to say that this is the worst restaurant we have ever been to in Italy and we have travelled this country extensively. There are plenty of other options within the area. I would recommend one try somewhere else.

Loved the place. Right next to the old castle facing the sea. The service was very good and friendly. A very wide drinks menu. Tried local beers and loved them. They serve a complementary snacks platter which is quite nice and sumptuous. Definitely recommended for a fun evening.

We were recommended this restaurant and the food was amazing. The mini seafood degustation was delicious but the service was a little offhand.

Italian, Mediterranean see food cuisine. Vegetarian plates. No vegan options. Raw materials high quality.
Reviewed By 00BCK
First of all, let me tell you not to take any notice of the negative reviews of this restaurant. Ristorante MOG is not your normal run of the mill restaurant. It has a contemporary fit out and an amazing chef, using only the best quality ingredients. If you want all this and outstanding food you are naturally going to pay more than average. However your taste buds will be rewarded, without too much damage to your wallet or credit card. The complainers obviously have no pallet and no appreciation of fine dining. They should probably stick to the pizzeria, but they would still find something to whinge about.The girls on the floor were good and were able to tell us about wines by the glass. It would be easier if these were included in the wine list. Unfortunately beer choices were poor. One cheap Mexican beer and one 9% alcohol beer.Italian beer is great. Please get rid of these two and use the Italian option.We shared a gnocchi entree which was excellent, combining the flavors of olives, tomatoes and hard ricotta.Our main course of fillet steak, foie gras and port sauce could only be described as outstanding.Our bill came to 110 euros, which is about what we would pay for a similar quality meal in Australia. However it was still great value considering the outstanding quality and the passion and finesse of the chefs.

Traditional Ligurian restaurant,located in the historical center of the town in a beautiful square. Tipical and local food, fresh pasta home made, fresh salads, bruschette, beef fillet steak, fresh fish everyday, vegetarian and gluten-free menu. Good wine
Reviewed By MsRiley
This was another recommendation from friends. We are not foody people, and we are budget conscious, but we enjoyed our pasta dishes and side orders, although portions were on the small side. The quality of the food was excellent, but more expensive than other places in Santa Margherita. Not convinced that the quality, though good, justified the higher prices.

A delightful little al fresco restaurant set in a short paved courtyard about 300m west of the centre of Santa Margherita Ligure off the Portofino road. You must go, but make sure you book. Fantastic fresh local produce prepared with great love and care, and great service. We had octopus and mustard dressing and seafood carpachio to start, then the special ravioli with a beef sauce. All extremely good, followed by 2 exquisite puddings.They clearly love what they do and yearn to share it with diners. Do go!Many thanks for last night, "Mr John" and the wife
