Holy, moly! Portofino is expensive. After sitting down at a restaurant on the water, noticing that…read morethey charged €40 for a Bellini, and then promptly leaving said restaurant, we had almost lost hope of finding an affordable option. Luckily, we stumbled across L'Isolotto, tucked away on a side street, just a couple hundred feet from the main square. After checking out their menu posted outside, we were thrilled to see some fairly reasonable prices for wine, pizza, pasta, seafood, etc.
We scored a lovely table on their outdoor patio and enjoyed a couple liters of vino frizzante -- perfect for a warm, sunny day on the Italian Riviera. Our group of 3 shared a few different things, all of which were pretty tasty! The focaccia stuffed with cheese was our antipasti, followed by frito misto (mixed fried fish, one of our fave Italian dishes when close to the shore!) and a pizza with spicy salami.
Service was attentive and friendly. They welcomed our pup on the patio. Annnnd, they accept credit cards. Wins all around!
