Welcoming atmosphere, excellent seafood, friendly and helpful staff, waterfront parking. Average prices. Experience, however, in December.
As always, we're top-notch. Thanks to Nicola and his excellent staff. Giorgio Cantagalli
The dishes were excellent, but we had to wait 70 minutes for the first appetizer. When the grilled food arrived, we didn't have any cutlery, so we had to wait even longer, and the waiter had to handle them by the head.
Good value for money. Excellent service. I recommend improving the desserts; in my opinion, they aren't up to par with the other dishes.
Back after many years, the menu, revisited with a modern twist, is truly excellent, large wine cellar, Nicola and Martina and the rest of the staff are professional and friendly… the prices are in line with the best restaurants in the area, a top rating.

The restaurant is set right in front of the sea side and offers a refined atmosphere quite elegant. It specialises in fish which absolutely deserves a try. Ask for the mix grilled fish: you'll not regret it! the plates are generous (without being too much) and the service is proper. the prices are in the average for this kind of quality/restaurants (we spent about 70 euros for 2 people with a big tray of remarkable grilled fish, 2 huge portions of tasty fresh vegetables, a small bottle of good wine, water, bread, etc. and an ice cream.
We visited this restaurant 5 times over two trips to Italy and found it so inconsistent we will never return. On our first visit the fritto misto was excellent, light batter and a good selection of fish. Second time around was a different experience with the majority of the frito being calamari rings cheap for a restaurant to obtain, but the same price charged. This was not good enough. On the next occassion we had the risotto. For the area that produces most of the risotto rice the risotto was lacking in flavour and texture. We have had far better risottos for a much better price. So it continued with the restaurant being so so, but Porto Garibaldi is short on decent restaurants so we vistied on a few occassions. For one lunch we decided to splurge on the set menu and regretted it. The starters were limited (Italian set menus usually have three or four) we had one plate of tepid seafood with a very average cocktail sauce. The grilled fishwas bitter and the sorbet not smooth. The pasta dish was not memorable and the pasta cooked far short of al dente. We felt well and truly ripped off. The owner was not interested and told us how long the restaurant had been cooking fish in a very arrogant way. There were no lost in translation episodes as my wife is Italian. The service was average every time and on the set menu occassion the waiter almost threw the food at us and could not be bothered to move round the table to serve properly. Given that on most occassions this restaurant was average and overpriced and on one occassion the experience terrible I am surprised this is in the michelin guide. The only thing consistent was the house white wine light anf refreshing. In an area of Italy not known for its local wines, this at least was a relief. We would not return.

Really high-quality fish restaurant, if you want a good meal, they do not see further. are also great. menus in English and in German. extensive wine list. ot cheap, but not expensive, either safe the cost worth. one of our youngs eats no fish so that she spaghetti made with tomaten specially for him, he loved it so much he ordered a second! we go back before we go home what I can say more.
