This UNESCO World Heritage Site was a favorite of Byron, Shelley and D.H. Lawrence. (In fact, if you don’t mind a few rocks, you can swim at one of Byron’s favorite spots, now dubbed Byron’s Cove.) Portovenere’s San Pietro Church was built on the remains of a 6th-century church, which was itself built atop an ancient Roman temple to Venus.

I walked in based on a recommendation I got from the owner of our B&b. We asked for a table and for the following 5 minutes a waiter who didnât even stop a second to talk us kept telling us while walking away, coming back, walking away again, that there was no chance to get a table, that he absolutely couldnât help us, that we were on his way and he was SO busy. There was tables in the veranda and there was one table outside. Al booked in his opinion, but no signs on the table. He was so unhelpful and so rude that I simply walked away telling the rest of the crew how rude he had been. They tried for no longer than 5 seconds to convince us to stay (that demonstrates tables were available). I am in Italian and I live abroad. I love my country and our sense of hospitality. Liguria is well known to be not the best with tourists and this, sadly, confirmed a stereotype.I was really disappointed. This isnât the way you treat customers. Never again dear Medusa, no matters how good your cuisine is. Grow up and get more polite. Personnel at Elettra was so kind on the flip side and they good a good tip from us considering my abroad standards to tip for service and courtesy.Entra nel locale chiedendo un tavolo; gentilmente le si dice che per il momento non è possibile farla accomodare. Insegue il cameriere mentre sta servendo i clienti già seduti insistendo che ci sono dei tavoli liberi . Il cameriere educatamente dice che i tavoli in questione sono già prenotati invitandola a spostarsi da un lato per lasciare libero il passaggio dove il personale transitava per servire la gente. Comincia ad insultare tutto lo staff del ristorante additandolo di essere cafoni , maleducati e che ci dovremmo anche vergognare attirando lâ attenzione dei commensali presenti in sala . Il titolare a questo punto cerca di capire la situazione ma in cambio riceve nuovi insulti . Impettita esce dal locale rifiutando un confronto ed un chiarimento . Sicuramente câè stata un incomprensione e questo si presuppone che possa capitare in qualsiasi ambito lavorativo, ma se si vuole parlare o INSEGNARE educazione bisogna dare il buon esempio cosa che lei non ha fatto. Prima di parlare o scrivere bisogna pensare e soprattutto avere rispetto delle persone che ogni giorno lavorano onestamente e che amano il proprio lavoro . Anche noi amiamo il nostro paese e cerchiamo sempre di essere il più ospitali possibile con tutti anche se a volte non tutti se lo meriterebbero!

Il Gambero has some great combinations of pasta and seafood, as well as delicious seafood platters and an extensive beer and wine list. Itâs located on the Main Street and has an outdoor seating area with a great atmosphere and view. We found it to be great food at a good price-our meal was served quickly. As it got busier in the night, there was a wait to pay the bill as there was one waitress and she was run off her feet so could do with a little more help to earn an excellent rating. Overall, a great meal and atmosphere and wished weâd eaten there a second time during our stay!

Excellent restaurant with unrivaled views, with a veranda at 10 mt from the sea. Local & traditional cuisine with fresh ingredients. Elegant and comfortable, air conditioned and smoking rooms. Great value for money.

Quite a disappointement after reading all the good comments on this place in TripAdvisor. It was very expensive for what we had. We were still hungry after our meal, the vegetables were way overcooked and the plates were poorly prepared. We had much better for a cheaper price in the same area. We have been in Italy for nearly two weeks now and this is by far our worst dinning experience.

I have travelled Italy many times but this is the most shocking experience I had. The owner insulted us because we didnt speak english. It took 30mns for the owner to provide the bill. I wouldnt recommend the place to anybody. Portovenere is wonderful but this restaurant is the worst in Italy. No kidding
5. Anciua

Reviewed By mmechelsea
On the recommendation of our tour guide, he knew Anciua had gluten-free options. As pesto was invented in this region, I knew I wanted to try it! The shop employee didnât speak much English but was very friendly and welcoming as we tried to communicate with each other. I got a corn-based GF focaccia with pesto and cheese. It was heated up in a microwave which felt a little weird to me, but it was good nonetheless. The pesto was AH-mazing and had an entirely deeper flavor than what we have in the States. It has lots of garlic, but it was a lot greener than Iâve had before. Good little snack spot in Portovenere!

After finding O chi a ca toa on Trip Advisor and reading the reviews we had to go here and we are glad we did! It is best to make a reservation as this is a small place and appears to be well known. It was fun to be surprised with each plate of amazing food, have the dish explained to us, and then to enjoy it! All the dishes were unique and outstanding. When you plan to visit do not eat for the day before as you will not be able to finish all of the dishes. We highly recommend this unique and outstanding dining experience! It includes wine and water in the reasonable price (60 euros for two)!

We went w our grandsons, 7 and 10.5. Not exactly a family restaurant but we were seated a bit out of the way. Kids were very well behaved and quiet but service not at all attentive. I think it was an anomaly b/c restaurant is quite good. Everything else about the hotel is wonderful so I'm guessing it was an off night or they prefer no children?Dear ina504 ,Thank you for taking the time to post your review on TripAdvisor.Please accept my apologies if you encountered some shortfalls on your recent visit and I have taken good note of your comments and discussed with the team accordingly. I just wanted to ensure you that we would never turn away guests based on the fact children or not or anything else beside the fact of being full - I'm really sorry you felt that way at our Palmaria.We hope to welcoming back to Palmaria and hopefully review your opinion on our service.Kind Regards,F&B teamPalmaria Restaurant

We visited this restaurant as a family of 3. When we booket the table we informed that 2 of the visitors was allergic to gluten. They told us that this was no problem. The waitresses was well informed about the gluten free food And we felt safe that this would be taken cared of during the meal. We also got served gluten free bread at the beginning. In the primi piatti/pasta-section they could only switch the regular pasta with gnocchi, wich was not a very good combination for us. The pasta courses var not made to go with the gnocchi. I would have prefered «regular» gluten free pasta instead.The athmosphere was really good, the service was exellent. And of course the bar made out of a boat was Very nice. They also served me the best panna cotta i have ever tasted with strawberries.Come prima cosa dovresti ringraziare che facciamo la roba senza glutine compreso il pane come secondo se non vi piacciono gnocchi questo câè la prossima volta si porti la sua pasta per celiaci noi facendo pagare il solito prezzo diamo da mangiare a celiaci da 7 anni e sono tt contenti altrimenti sta a ca tra spastico der casso
