    Fish Ravioli with curry sauce
    Wajhi K.

    Had one of the best meals in Italy here, fantastic service, unbelievably fresh seafood and unique pasta dishes that I can still taste weeks later. It's pricey, it can be touristy, but on a beautiful evening it's hard to beat anywhere in the world.

    The food is better than the view! In the center of Portofino, right at the harbor is Da I Gemelli. Perfect seafood and amazing pastas and risottos are what you will find at Da I Gemelli. Run by two brothers it has become so successful that there are now two restaurants, one on each side of the harbor. They may well be the best of the harborside restaurants in Portofino. Excellent wine list as well.

    I would give Da I Gemelli 6+ Stars if I could! We needed up in Portofino around 7:30 pm on a Thursday night without a reservation. They initially said they were fully committed, but one of the owners Paolo came to us and asked us to wait a minute. He found a great table for my wife and I outside by the water. Paolo recommended an amazing local Rose (we needed up getting one to go after finishing the bottle). The sautéed shrimp in the shell to start, the. Followed by a sea bass cooked in sea salt that melted in your mouth. The service at Da I Gemelli is as good as anywhere in the world and the food as fresh as can be. We can't wait to go back next year, but will make sure we have reservations next time!! Thank you for an amazing evening!

    BEST RESTAURANT IN PORTOFINO!! OUTSTANDING FOOD, SERVICE, & VIEW. It gets no better. If you are staying in Liguria, make it your top priority to eat at one of Italy's best restaurants. Opened in 1850. Eighth generation owner, Matteo Gemelli, continues his families tradition with a varied menu of the regions best cuisine and local wine. One of the best restaurants anywhere!!

    A must try while in Portofino! Everyone seemed to enjoy whatever dish they had. Waiters did a great job recommending food and helping us narrow down our orders. They definitely made the ordering process super easy! The food was soooooo good. They won't disappoint.

    Can't beat the scenery in Portofino

    Portofino, Italy has a ton of restaurants on the waterfront, so you really can't get a bad meal. However, the two brothers who own Gemelli, whose family dates back 8 generations in Portofino offer a friendly Italian experience, unbelievable seafood with a setting that is just indescribable. When in Portofino, take the walk across the marina and check it out.

    Curried fish ravioli is a must. It's battling for the #1 spot on my all time favorites list.

    This was one of our favorite meals. The fish could not be fresher. As we were walking in, the chef…read morewas choosing his fish from a bucket and we followed the fresh fish to our table. It was a chilly night, so the tarps were up. We sat right on the edge of in and out. Out chairs were inside, but we were facing out on a wall that wasn't there. Lovey views of the water and boats but we stayed warm. We ordered a nice shrimp salad for an app. We split it and it was delicious. It was the right amount of food to start. Next we chose sea bass with roasted potatoes and olives. It was so good. The fish is for at least two people. It is served on a big platter and you dish your own plates. The presentation was beautiful but the taste was even better. The price was determined by a set amount x the size of the fish. Our bill was around $150eu for everything, including drinks, dessert, etc. Again, one of our favorite meals in our nearly 4 weeks in Italy. We chose the molten chocolate cake for dessert and the waiter also brought out an additional free plate of small amaretto cookies, chocolate, and gumdrops. So good. Service was excellent. It was a short 15 min walk from our hotel. Was glad to have the walk home to wear off a bit of all I ate.

    This restaurant was recommended by the hotel and is in the Michelin guide 2022. That helps to…read morechoose between hundreds of other similar looking restaurants lining up the harbor of Santa Margarita I recommend sitting outside unless it's too hot. You face the harbor and people watch. This restaurant is apparently favored by the locals, everyone seemed to know the owner. Service is friendly and official. The waiter recommended the whole fish, oven roasted with potatoes, shallots and olives. For appetizer a salad with local shrimp. We had our own desserts. We shared everything else and that was enough. Food was simple, fresh and delicious. Recommended whites were great. Price for 2, with 1 bottle of wine, water, 2 glasses of dessert wine, 1 appetizer and 1 main dish - €160. That's reasonable for this place.
