Dress code beware! 2 failed attempts to go to the restaurant here. The first day they were closed on a Tuesday, which is odd as normally restaurants are closed on a Monday. The second attempt they refused our group of 9 (doubling the number of people in the atmosphere lacking restaurant) because 1 person was wearing smart flip flops rather than shoes. This seems unnecessarily obnoxious for a golf club at lunch time when it's 35º outside. The restaurant is not fancy, it's just a veranda on the side of the building.

Wearing smart flip flops has not been an issue at any other restaurant in Rapallo. Rather than having spare shoes to help their guests, they ridiculously suggested buying some shoes from the pro shop for the meal (incidentally, the pro shop was closed).

The dress code on the website does not mention anything about shoes and they do not say anything when you book. How are you meant to know the rules if they are not published anywhere? Instead they point to their sign on the wall once you are stood inside the restaurant.

Meant to be good food but having spent 2 hours walking backwards and forwards in the heat and not being able to go, I won't be bothering again. I'd suggest you don't bother either.
