The most famous eatery in Portofino, Ristorante Puny is a favorite of celebrities and locals alike. It's right on the piazzetta with some tables scattered about for al fresco dining with a view of the people parade, as well as the harbor. There are a few tables in the cozy, elegant interior.

Regional specialties focus heavily on seafood though Liguria's famous basil pesto makes an appearance in some of the dishes. The fish baked in salt crust and the pappardelle with prawns are good choices.

Reservations are necessary if you want a table here. Closed Thursdays. Closed the months of January and February.
