Langosteria Paraggi Italian Riviera

Langosteria Paraggi sits directly on the sand at Via Paraggi a mare, a tucked-away cove between Santa Margherita Ligure and Portofino. The room runs smart, trading the rustic informality typically found in this stretch of the Italian Riviera for a focused, maritime-inspired dining space.

While the coast is crowded with trattorias serving quick catch-of-the-day plates, this restaurant leans heavily into a Mediterranean seafood menu that treats raw preparations with the same gravity as its cooked staples. Choosing this over the nearby harbor spots is a decision to prioritize table service and a slower pace; you are here for the deliberate composition of the plate, not the hurried turn of a tourist-heavy lunch service. It is a more demanding environment than its neighbors, but it offers a precision that is often lost in the seasonal rush of the coast.
