Frommer's Review
The gregarious owners make this the only restaurant in Portofino that treats you as more than just waddling bags of money. Right on the piazzetta, its tables enjoy views of the boats bobbing in the harbor and yachts having size contests beyond. Definitely book ahead to drink in those views and dig into risotto al curry e gamberi (curried rice embedded with tiny shrimp); penne al puny (pasta quills in a sauce of tomatoes, pancetta bacon, and mushrooms); fresh fish al verde (in a green sauce of parsley, lemon, and white wine) or al sale (baked under a thick salt crust); or carne all'uccelleto (diced veal sautéed in butter then cooked in white wine with bay leaves).

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.
Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.
The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
