Top 10 European food in Rapallo, Liguria, Italy

March 23, 2020 Russell Mellin

Reviews on European food in Rapallo, Liguria, Italy. A port city of about 30,000 on Italy’s Ligurian Coast, Rapallo lies on the Tigullio Gulf about 15 miles southeast of Genoa. The 16th-century Castello sul Mare (Castle-on-the-Sea) is Rapallo’s most prominent landmark, sitting as it does smack in the harbor. The sixth-century Basilica of Santi Gervasio e Protasio is also worth a visit. For a real treat, take the bus or the funivia (cable car) to the sanctuary of Nostra Signora di Montallegro (Our Lady of Montallegro), which offers stunning views.

Bagni Ariston

Beautifull location on the sea for a romantic dinner bellisima posizione per una cena romantica!

We have been to Italy many times in the past few years, and always had good experiences. With the ratings we tried this place; what a disaster at every level. The waiter had absolutely no knowledge of wine although he made a recommendation then afterwards Ashad me how it was as he didn't drink wine. Another waiter came to take the order but couldn't speak English. We wound up ordering vegetables that were already included. The menu wasn't very exciting but the food was terrible; the tuna appetizer had a fishy taste and the entrees were not good. BTW it is not inexpensive.

Villa Porticciolo

A HISTORIC MANOR of the end of '800 facing the sea : location for exclusive EVENTS , new RESTAURANT

Reviewed By touringscot

We were staying at the Grand Bristol hotel in Rapallo end of September 2016 and the weather was excellent so walking about we passed the Villa twice a day for 4 days before we worked out how to get to it as their signage was a bit lacking - but eventually went into the communal park and found the entrance gate! So glad we did. It is an oasis of calm away from the bustle and traffic of downtown Rapallo and simply stunning views from the terrace. Very romantic and nicely furnished.Had dinner and then came back for our last holiday lunch. Both times the service was attentive and the food excellent. Enjoyed the risotto with strawberries and the sea bass baked in salt - well cooked and not overdone as sadly it can be.Overall it is a cut above any other restaurant in Rapallo and we would thoroughly recommend seeking it out if you are staying in or near Rapallo.

Ristorante Amici Miei

Reviewed By Aselika

We had dinner in this restaurant. The waiters categorically could not cope with the service of a large number of people, we waited our order about an hour. We ordered marine Carbonara and spaghetti al vongole. Spaghetti al vongole was average and too salty, but the Carbonara was awful, so disgusting pasta I didn't eat even at a roadside cafe in Moscow. Pasta was overcooked and looked like porridge, the egg was rolled up and was present in the dish in the form of pieces. The taste of the pasta was also bad, the worst pasta we ate. Also, we get a bread with pasta, instead of serving it to the table while we waited for the main course. We told the waiter the pasta was overcooked, but he just walked away and looked at us like fools.

Reve Cafe & Restaurant

Reviewed By John L

A delightful little al fresco restaurant set in a short paved courtyard about 300m west of the centre of Santa Margherita Ligure off the Portofino road. You must go, but make sure you book. Fantastic fresh local produce prepared with great love and care, and great service. We had octopus and mustard dressing and seafood carpachio to start, then the special ravioli with a beef sauce. All extremely good, followed by 2 exquisite puddings.They clearly love what they do and yearn to share it with diners. Do go!Many thanks for last night, "Mr John" and the wife

Angolo 48

Traditional Ligurian restaurant,located in the historical center of the town in a beautiful square. Tipical and local food, fresh pasta home made, fresh salads, bruschette, beef fillet steak, fresh fish everyday, vegetarian and gluten-free menu. Good wine

Reviewed By MsRiley

This was another recommendation from friends. We are not foody people, and we are budget conscious, but we enjoyed our pasta dishes and side orders, although portions were on the small side. The quality of the food was excellent, but more expensive than other places in Santa Margherita. Not convinced that the quality, though good, justified the higher prices.

Need to prebook but its worth it . The lovely garden area at the rear provides a lovely atmosphere for the great food. The veggie dip plus the lovely homemade bread to their own recipe was very welcome precursor to the fish main course and superb desert. If in SM you must eat here! Its hidden away in the back streets but worth tracking it down. Recommended.Hidden away in the back streets? DuCoq is the center of the world!Thank you for your beautiful review, we are proud you ate here twice during your holiday! Above all you appreciated our dessert, we are still working on it to surprise our best clients... What are you waiting for? Come back soon!

Ristorante Le Cupole

Le Cupole Restaurant is located on the top floor of the Grand Hotel Bristol in Rapallo Italy. Great food, unforgattable view, "money for value" place. We are on Alain Ducasse Carnet Gourmand.

We booked this restaurant to celebrate our 20th wedding anniversary while on holiday in Italy. We specifically booked this one as it has a tasting menu, something we always look out for.The Hotel (Bristol) is just outside the main area of Rapello some 10 minute walk. The restaurant itself is on the top floor with outside seating which as views go is ok, nothing special.Sadly the food was very much the same, out of the 7 courses, there was only one that stood out as very good, the rest were forgettable, either because they really weren't very good or the presentation was "slopped on a plate"Certainly somewhere I wouldn't rush back to.Dear Guest,thank you for your review and cid sorry to read that you did not perceive the quality you expected. Sometimes the dishes are specially prepared in the way you define "cut" ... Sincerely

Loved the place. Right next to the old castle facing the sea. The service was very good and friendly. A very wide drinks menu. Tried local beers and loved them. They serve a complementary snacks platter which is quite nice and sumptuous. Definitely recommended for a fun evening.
