We searched this restaurant out due to itâs status as number two on Trip Advisor, situated in a shopping gallery behind the western end of the main shopping street in Rapallo.We ordered and received a bowl of decent but slightly over sweet caponata and bread to keep us going. Our wine order was forgotten until I asked again, it was soon to become clear that the pleasant lady who runs front of house had a little too much on her hands.My spaghetti bolognese first course was only just above average, a touch too much tomato and a lack of richness for me but my wife loved her spaghetti vongole despite it being a departure from what weâd been served previously in Italy, it mustâve been a regional variation.There was quite a long wait for our main courses, we noticed quite a few tables having to wait but Iâd read about this in reviews so it wasnât a surprise and wouldnât have been too much of an issue if it hadnât been for the âsingerâ in the restaurant who was pretty poor and was beginning to grate. When it arrived my veal in lemon sauce was underwhelming, the accompanying fried potatoes a little greasy and there were no vegetables on the rather bare plate. When Iâd questioned on ordering I was told that it automatically comes with everything- there was a vegetable side dish that I was interested in so I think a trick was missed there. Again though my wife said her fillet of grilled sole was good although she would have rather had the whole fish on the bone - her plate was a little empty also. Dessert of cannollo was fine, a chocolate addition to the ricotta cheese but I couldnât discern the promised orange peel.In summary, they try really hard at this family owned restaurant and I think you need to stick to the fish options to enjoy the best of whatâs available - we spoke to a couple from an adjoining table that were also staying at the Bristol Hotel and they also liked their fish only courses. The lady serving needs assistance, it was too much for her to do practically everything on her own and she seemed stressed at times. The singer added nothing and indeed detracted from our enjoyment in such a small establishment. We can understand though why itâs well rated - itâs like home cooked food (by a good cook) but needs a few tweaks. The local wine was excellent and very fair at â¬26 a bottle.

I was visiting the area and this restaurant was recommended. It did not disappoint. We opted for the 35 Euro fixed menu and it was plate after plate uniqueness. Everything was fresh and delicious. From the shrimp appetizer to the anchovies to the pasta and pineapple dessert, it was all captivating and new. The location was interesting, set inside a cave with melted candles and frying pan lighting. Wine, water and espresso was included. The service was excellent (to include a parting gift along with a chocolate limoncello drink). No doubt this will be a life time memory for me. It was more then a meal, it was an experience.

Went on a Monday night. Was quite quiet so no problem getting a table for 2. Made to feel very welcome. Quality food and very good wine recommendation. Friendly efficient staff. Would definitely recommend if you are visiting Rapallo. Monkfish in pistachios was really good. Reasonably priced.

We were recommended this restaurant and the food was amazing. The mini seafood degustation was delicious but the service was a little offhand.

The best dining experience on our trip! The previews were absolutely right. You have to have dinner here, if you are a foodie, you should try the tasting meal. Everything is made fresh with great respect to the ingredients. I opted for the a la cart dish -rosso gambero. So happy. Prawns tasted like lobster. Super delicious. My husband opted for the tasting menu. Equally happy. It's good because we shared all the food. Half bottle of wine, prosecco. Just the right portions each time. The owner treats you like family with warmth and passionate about making your meal. Be warned, Italians savor their meals. Make a reservation if possible or come early to occupy one of the 9 tables! Thank you Pasquale Thancks

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.

So I am reviewing this place from a vegetarians perspective. First of all the service was good. The waiter explained everything well and was very friendly. After explaining that I am a vegetarian and that eating 2 pasta dishes did not sound appealing to me he made an effort to offer an alternative which was the antipasti plate. On it was a white creamy fresh cheese, preserved peppers, white beans with onion, some sort of thin potato cakes, tomatoes with onion and tuna, salami ( i shared with non-vegetarian person). It was not my favourite but appreciated the possibility to have a starter. Then I had "candy-wrapped-style" pasta stuffed with spinach and served with walnut sauce. It was ok but maybe it could be served a bit warmer. For dessert I chose the focaccia tiramisu as this was the waiter's recommendation. I think the idea is nice but to my personal taste the cream was too thick (not fluffy) and the focaccia left a very salty taste. If you are into salty then this is your choice. I think the restaurant is better for meat-fish eaters but nevertheless I appreciated the good service. Dear Guest,we apriciated your comment about our service and our kitchen.We are always more than happy to suggest the best options for our guests such as vegetarians like you but also vegan or gluten free.Our menu changes almost every week and we always consider all our guests needs.Hoping to have you again as our guest!Best regardsTr4ttoria Staff

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

Tuscany specialities, barbecue. summer location on a terrace with a stunning view over Portofino gulf
Reviewed By pieroinusa
A bit different from the usual place, this small and welcoming place offers a very good selection of Tuscan specialties. My tagliata with lardo di colonna was perfectly prepared and the lardo truly added a great flavor. The cannellini beans were also well prepared. I loved their selection of dessert wines and cantuccini biscuits. Their wine list is OK, including an option of wine by the glass - morellino for the day. Very attentive and friendly service helps making this a rewarding experience. I will be back

Fabio had made sure that the table we reserved in the veranda was with the view on Rapallo/Santa Marguerita as requested and he looked after us when we were seated and helped us with the choice of the wine and the serving of the orata we ordered. Andrea who took care of the service at our table did an ecellent job. We had an unforgettable evening at this unique adress. We look forward to coming back in summer when we can dine at the same place when the veranda will be open air. This is the sort of place that one can recommend to anyone who looks for an exceptional dining experience at the Ligurian coast.
