Very pleasant atmosphere and welcoming staff. The food was generally good – my steak was unfortunately raw and cold, but the team handled it very professionally, refunded the dish and offered a complimentary dessert. All in all, a good experience, though prices are on the higher end for Portovenere.

The service was impeccable, as was the wine. It was very hot in the restaurant and not much of a view from our table. We each ordered a diff item and the fish (sea bass or codfish- I don’t recall) was the only one that was ok. I’m sorry to say the other dishes were not very good. It was a bit on the expensive end, and just was not worth it. Again, the service was wonderful, just had hoped the food would be good and it really was not.

The location and view were gorgeous. The service from the wait staff was outstanding. Very friendly and fun! The food was amazing - the best lamb and lobster and dessert! We appreciated the “kill the coffee” after dinner drinks!

Palmaría exceeded all our expectations and gave us a night we will remember forever! From the moment we walked in, we were blown away by the stunning views and the incredible ambiance. The food was absolutely phenomenal—each dish was a masterpiece, bursting with flavor and beautifully presented. The service was impeccable, with every waiter attending to our needs with such warmth and professionalism. Special thanks to Anna, who went out of her way to make sure our evening was perfect. Her kindness and attention to detail made our experience truly exceptional. We can’t wait to return to Palmaría—it’s a gem we’ll never forget! Five stars all the way!

The food wasn’t all that good, especially for the price. My pasta with mussels was way too salty (I should have sent it back), the fois gras had zero flavor, the steak was pretty bland. Overall, very very average food

Incredible food in a spectacular setting. Truly novel interpretation of classics - the baccalà and the risotto with shrimp and pumpkin were sumptuous. Very attentive a Professional staff. A must if you are in Porto Venere.

Pleasantly surprised. We were staying at the Grand hotel and ate here for convenience sake upon arrival. The views from this restaurant are spectacular. It’s located in a very beautiful quiet fishing village with incredible views. Highly recommend.

We made a booking through Fork and clearly noted that we would bring our two small dogs. At arrival it was noted to us that the restaurant policy is no animals. Even though I have all the respect for any policy and I do not feel bitter about restaurants not accepting dogs, but what I feel is completely without respect is that we were not notified before. The restaurant had plenty of time after receiving and CONFIRMING the reservation to contact us and let us know. It really is not acceptable and shameful.

What a view! The food was inventive and delicious and the service was excellent. The restaurant itself is lovely and quiet enough for us to have good conversation. I stopped by in the afternoon to request a window table and we got the best one! Silvia made sure of it. I would absolutely dine here again.
