We didn't want to have the kitchen open back up for us if they were already wrapping up. They assured us the kitchen wouldn't be closed for another 15 minutes so to come on in. We ordered the pizza, and the pizza guy had a meltdown. Apparently he had already started cleaning up for the night. We felt bad but also a little off putting that he would make such a scene in front of all the guests. Other than that we had a wonderful meal.

I had an amazing, amazing dinner at this place. I'm glad I added it to yelp, because it's a must…read moresee. This is one of the regions of Italy that people tend to go straight to Bologna for and easily skip. I'm not sure I understand why, because Portovenere by itself is a beautiful port and definitely has some of the best pesto and limoncello of the region. Why would you be on yelp and not want great food? Forget Milan and Bologna, Cinque Terre and Portovenere are where it's at. They are well featured on everything except yelp, which is why I felt compelled to have this added. Enough about that, lets get on to the unique foods and drinks of the area. Porivene is basically down a back alley which is how the streets are in Portovenere, so it's easy to miss. They had a dish called a porridge pot, and I'm not really sure how to describe it. It's a mixture of bread that includes a unique soft cheese that is almost like a sour cream (tasty, not bitter), and a plentiful helping of pesto to go alongside it. We also got a Pesto pizza and Pesto pasta - notice a theme here? These guys do not mess around when it comes to Pesto. When I say best in the world, Italy should always come to mind. Whereas sobou charges an arm and a leg for pretty decent stuff, these guys charge very little for amazing food. The Pesto pasta was mixed with a very plentiful amount of fresh pesto, and was absolutely delicious. Likewise the Pesto Pizza was pretty good sized - remember, in Italy a pizza is considered a single person food item and each of these easily fit as a meal for me and my wife. Also, don't forget to try to the vin santo! Vin Santo is like a strong amaretto, which you dip cookies into. Apparently it's a big thing in the region and very much not to be underestimated. Portivene un mare di sapori was one of the best places we had eaten in all of Italy. Not only that, but it's right near the awesome pesto shop I mentioned in another review. This is a must find/must review/must eat for anyone in the region - although keep in mind that the bus from La Spezia takes about 25 minutes to get there and only stops at Portovenere every hour or so to take you back.

Bovio is located in the beautiful land of La Morra where you can find Barolo which is some of the…read moremost delicious wine in the world. At Bovio, you can get a 6 generous course set at the price of 55 euros (drinks excluded) during lunch! Each dish was insanely delicious and very classic to the La Morra region and we were genuinely floored by the food, beautiful view, and amazing wine. My favorite dish had to be the veal tartare which was topped with black truffle. Its taste and consistency reminded me very much of my favorite beloved prosciutto.

The wife is very sweet, I guess the husband does the cooking? If we hadn't been at a Michelin stared the eve before, I maybe would have given it 5 stars. I hear of you come during truffle season, you get quite a treat. I thought the food was just okay- the veal carpaccio was lacking flavor and so was the tagatelle with bra sausage sauce. We liked the veal with balsamic entre and the baked onion stuffed with cheese and sausage.

We both had the tiny homemade noodles with bolognese which was delicious! It's a healthy portion and we paired it with a nice red. Our waiter was on the spot and checked on us frequently - again, we really thought their service was fantastic! This restaurant is open and recommend it highly!

One of the BEST finds in Piemonte! We had been driving in the countryside and our guide had asked…read moreabout lunch time and had said she had heard of a local restaurant which was very good. She phoned ahead to confirm it was open and a table available, which luckily it was. The restaurant sits within a lovely surrounding of trees, fields and poppies. The restaurant itself has wonderful restored brick ceilings and tile floor with a beautiful fireplace. There were several other guests there when we arrived; a work crew out for a filling noon meal and a couple lingering, as everyone does in Europe, over their wine and dolcé. We each ordered one of the specials and each ate every bite! The gnocchi erbette (herbs) in bolognese was divine! The taglietele with melenzana (eggplant) was delicious! (the Mr. says so!) The bread perfecto! As we had more traveling to do we did not try the wine but we did have an espresso!! that was yummy! The owner/chef came by to chat and ask after our meal, he was very humble and accepted the compliments with grace.. Thank you for such a wonderful memorable meal!

First time we tried the Tajerin al ragù, our 2 years old daughter is keep repeating "-agù" since then, true story. We came back with a larger round 2 days after, this time for lunch, and it was even better, we loved the raw meat and the spezzatino. Even the Grissini and bread are home made and delicious. Highly recommended for a delicious dinner or a relaxing, long lunch
