Ristorante Del Capo — Restaurant in Bordighera

At first I was skeptical of a restaurant with only five star reviews, and suspected that it was due to there being too few reviews. But I was wrong. Ristorante Del Capo is an excellent restaurant that truly justifies its five-star rating and is one of my most enjoyable dining experiences.

We got to Bordighera at dusk and were searching for a place for dinner. We chanced upon Ristorante Del Capo and they told us that they were serving a chef’s special menu - Bollito Misto - that day. It was a wondrous experience - 2 starters, bollito misto paired with a wide variety of dipping sauces including the most amazing pesto (even by Lingurian standards), very well-made tortellinis (delicious filling, delicate skin) in the mild bollito misto broth, and free flow of panna cotta and chocolate almond pudding - all for 55 eur per person. The wine was also well-recommended, delicious and reasonably priced.

The service was also outstanding. Guiseppe (Pino (or maybe his name is Pinella given the italian reviews?)) was simply the loveliest, full of smiles and had so much pride in the bollito misto and the food he was delivering. He was just so full of positive vibes. Carlotta was also really helpful and can speak English and explain the dishes well. The young chef also came out to cut the bollito misto pieces as well as serve dessert.

Good food, outstanding service, reasonable (almost too reasonable) pricing - Ristorante Del Capo is a true gem of a restaurant. I hope more people try it - it is a really lovely restaurant and while it may be a tad more pricey than some of the restaurants in the surrounding area, if you’ve travelled such a long way along the Italian riviera I think it makes sense to spend a bit more and and really get something refined and really nice that is fitting for the price. I still think of my experience fondly and I hope to come back again to try the other dishes that they...

Located in the old historic part of Bordighera (Bordighera Alta). Absolutely wonderful experience. It is our second time there and we will definitely return. The tasting menu (only 50 euros!!} was exquisite, the service was friendly and impeccable, the atmosphere cozy and elegant. Very strongly...

Wir sind durch Zufall dort gelandet. Wir waren sehr spät unterwegs und sind gleich in eines der ersten Restaurants, das auf dem Weg lag. Nach einem kurzen Gespräch zwischen Chefin und Koch durften wir dich noch Platz nehmen. Fortuna hat es gut mit uns gemeint. Der Service war herzlich, freundlich und prompt. Das Essen war ein Traum. Wir hatten das 4-Gänge-Menü, das das Restaurant selbst zusammenstellt, also ein Überraschungsmenü. Evtl ist es für Einzelne wichtig zu wissen, dass wir bei der Bestellung nach evtl. Unverträglichkeiten oder Allergien gefragt wurden. Das Essen war einfach ein Genuss. Abwechslungsreich, schmackhaft und ausreichend große Portionen. Begonnen hat es mit einem Amuse-Gueule. Auch das Dessert war ein Traum. Kurz und gut, jeder Gang und der Service waren wirklich wirklich gut und wir haben unsere Wahl keine Sekunde bereut. Eine echte Empfehlung. Wir...
