Our first port on our Windsurf cruise in Portiferriao and after a tour of Napoleons Villa we…read morestopped at this little restaurant for light lunch. Wow it was great! I had Swordfish Carpaccio with Pear and my wife got Fish and Chips. Both items were incredible and afterward a little Tiramisu. I would definitely go here again. The view is nice also, just next to the small boat port overlooking the water.

Average food. We had their specialty - the fish soup, which…read morewas ok. The pistachio-crusted Tuna was not rare, as indicated. It was overcooked. Also, the owner pushed us in order to get around us instead of asking us to get out of the way. We let our server know; no apologies from the owner. Finally, I saw the server prepare deserts with his own hands... Pretty sure he did not wash them. The view of the water was nice.

Le Viste's location is unique, situated on a secret beach hidden some 40m below Elba's fortress…read more It's arguably one of the most romantic locations in the world. However, we've been coming to this place for 10 years and have seen its ups and downs. This time (August 2024), we were disappointed by the service, because our waitress was slow, inattentive, and had us sit in front of our empty main course plates so that we didn't even bother to order dessert. The food was ok, but in Italy, that is expected and actually, it wasn't significantly better than the food we had the day before in a small place in Marina di Campo which didn't even cost us half the price Le Viste had charged. If you're new to Elba, you must have dinner here once - but not twice (at least at this moment).

Power went out one of the days we were here and no food was made or served that day. But I absolutely recommend this place!!
