    Perspectives... you're in Portofino on the water. Reading the many reviews of price shock had me confused and concerned but those fears were unnecessary given this unique and delicious experience. Recommend highly the minestrone soup and Gorgonzola ravioli. Lunch was an hour and could have been longer if not asking for the check... but finished our lunch sharing a cafe and tiramisu; just delicious. If your looking for a quick bite at cheap prices this is not for you... but if you can pause for 90 minutes and breath you'll have a delightful day.

    Great location and view. Funny and friendly staff, but food is nothing special. More expensive and less exciting food than at most restaurants in the area

    With the owner, Donna at Delfino.

    Do not go here. The main waiter will target tourists and demand a tip. You do NOT need to tip them.

    Not considering price this is a 5 star. This is your typical all Italian staff. Great food and even better location. Doesn't get better.

    Good but highly over priced for the area. Service was fine. Food was good. Wine was good. But was the largest bill in Italy I have seen.

My bro & I were promptly seated w/o a reservation. Reservations are not stressed too much unless you're dining in exclusivity. We split an octopus salad with softened potatoes and parsley, excellent, 12€. I ordered Bronzino alla Genovese with pine nuts, and olives. Excellent +. 18,50€. Staff was very friendly and spoke English quite well. The nicest restaurant we've been to in three days here in SML.

This was a delight to find. I and my 4 tour pals took a cab and walked a few doors up to the most quaint restaurant with outdoor seating. As Americans, we were excited to find meatballs and french fries, and several ordered just that. I went for the meatballs as well, with a side of roasted vegetables that were tender and full of flavor. The meatballs were seasoned well and perfectly cooked with a rich tomato sauce that reminded me of my late gramma's. Our waiter was a delight, full of humor, good conversation and recommendations. We all had gelato at the end of the meal which was also delicious. The quiet alleyway was enjoyable even though we were likely the biggest noise as we ate and laughed and talked as if we were family, despite having met mere days before. Wonderful place to eat! If I find my photos I will post them.

As we discussed food plans, our driver suggested eating in Santa Margherita as the food was better quality and better priced. We took his advice and stopped by a row of restaurants. When we asked for recommendations, he simply said "all are good." Pressed for time My brother made the quick decision for this place and we crossed our fingers and hoped it would be good. BOY, was the food BETTER than GOOD!! We tried the gnocchi w/ pesto, another pasta with pesto, two different spaghetti dishes, and the ravioli. Some of my family is vegan and vegetarian, and the food fit their needs. The ingredients were simple, yet fresh and flavorful. We ordered the house wine, and beer for my dad. We walked away paying 20€ a piece (4 people) and I was very pleased. Customer service was great. Although their was a language barrier, our server spoke English, and was very personable. He was even kind enough to give me a mini lesson on Speaking Italian. We dined al fresco and the view of the parks and ocean was beautiful. I've been home for weeks now, and we still have not stopped talking about this dining experience. Definitely one of the best food experiences of my trip. I would definitely recommend.
