Cracco Portofino Italian Riviera

Cracco Portofino sits on Molo Umberto I, overlooking the harbour. It holds a Michelin star and focuses on Italian seafood and Mediterranean cooking.

Most visitors come to the harbour for the bustle, but this dining room provides a necessary retreat from the high-traffic promenade. While its neighbours rely on the sheer volume of passing tourists, the kitchen keeps the menu focused on rigorous technique rather than convenience. It is a dressier room than the casual cafés lining the water, and you visit for the quiet shift in pace as much as the food.
