Palmaria Restaurant Portovenere

If you want to make sure to have a romantic evening with high quality food and good service staff (Ricardo), Palmaria can be your first option. Such a nice restaurant placed higher than the others in the area, thereby offering a beautiful view from the port. Amazing food (Mussels, seafood soup and octopus) & great wine. They also have gluten-free choices

Our first time in Portovenere! And we booked lunch at the most amazing view of Portovenere! We wanted to sit outside and the waiter immediately set up a screen to block the sun. We were very happy to enjoy the amazing view from the terrace. Our waiter (Ricardo) was very helpfull and kind! If you want to have lunch at an amazing spot with nice staff, it is a must go! Kind regards, Olivia, Lisanne, Babette and Thomas

Upscale restaurant with nice views. We had a couple of service issues, but nothing major. Food was prepared with skill and thoughtfulness. A lot of local product, so you might need to try items you’re not usually used to. Very slow service, so we would recommend you communicating to get things like the check, etc... (hint)

This restaurant is attached to the grand hotel located right next to the ferry drop off on in Portovenere. Restaurant has great views of the water and food to match. Favorite of the meal was the fried anchovies with pesto sauce. Service was excellent and made the afternoon lazily pass by without a worry or want. After lunch I relocated to the bar to nurse my rolled ankle- medicating with a couple of expertly crafted mojitos. Just what the doctor ordered. Overall an excellently way to spend an afternoon.

We chose the tasting menu for dinner, to remark: - For the menu we were provided with a QR code (iPad was offered in case of having issues). Well organised website, explaining the every ingredient used in the dish. - High quality products used by the kitchen. - Tasty dishes, with different flavours using the ingredients from the area. - The chef came after dinner to the table (he went to all the tables), to introduce himself and to ask for feedback. In my opinion this is really important. The fact that you get to know the person behind the dishes you ate and that for this person your opinion is so important that he is willing to come to you and ask. - Delighted with the service. Waiters could explain every ingredient of the dish. Every question and request we asked, was always answered and met. Service was always attentive and professional, while at the same time close and friendly (Bryant & Riccardo served us). - We had dinner outside in the terrace, such a beautiful view. Relaxed and summery environment. I liked the decoration, but the chairs could be more comfortable.
