We came here and they have a good selection of pastries made in house that were really good! The coffee was good as well. What was really outstanding was the service! I accidentally ordered the wrong coffee for my grandfather and when I went to fix it they offered to do it for me! They really didn't have to because it was my mistake not theirs but they were really very kind about the entire situation! The prices if you order at the bar are essentially the same as at every other bar in Italy. If you order and bring your own items to the tables you don't pay a coperto. It's only if you have table service that you pay higher prices. I would absolutely come back here again! A gem near the duomo with good prices even in the middle of tourist season!

Usually, a lunch like this is all about location and the food is a disappointment. Happy to say,…read morethis was not the case at Al Gabbiano. We got a table right at the water's edge, and were served promptly. We ordered croquets and a couple of pizzas. These pizzas were easily one of the best lunches of the trip so far, and the potato croquets where like creamy, cheesy tater tots on steroids! My wife had the Carbonara pizza (a white pizza with egg, porcetta, and cheese), and I had the Mammamia with tomato, fresh mozzarella and DELICIOUS spicy sausage (not too spicy, just a pleasant zing of heat). Their gelato selection looked pretty good too, but we were too full to indulge. If you find yourself in Porto Venere, definitely try this place!

When we stopped by Il Giardinetto, it seemed very authentic and was super busy with everyone speaking Italian. The seating area is in the middle of the square and a great location. We ordered our standard vegetarian meal-bruschetta, pizza, and salad. The bruschetta was simply excellent with the perfect amount of salt, olive oil, and garlic. The pizza (tomato basil) was probably the best we had in Italy. The salad was good and fresh, very simple as we love it. This might have just been the best food we had in all of Italy. The prices were also super cheap. I think our whole meal was under 20 euro.
