Trattoria della Marina • da Antonio — Restaurant in Porto Venere

Came here for dinner and it was delicious. Our waiter was very nice and accommodating providing recommendations on wine and food based on what was locally caught in the area.

We tried the oysters which were locally caught in the area as well as a bottle of red wine that was recommended. Both were delicious! We also got stuffed mussels which were very good the sauce is excellent and we used the bread that we got to dip it in! The mussels spaghetti was very tasty with a generous serving of mussels 🍝. We also got the seafood soup which was also very tasty, we had asked for some more bread to dip it in aswell which was perfect 🍞🍲. The last item was the fried seafood platter which I was surprised with how much you got; there's calamari, anchovies, shrimp, eggplant, and zucchini 🦑🍤.

Great place to relax, enjoy good food and take in the view right by the water! If you come for dinner you might be lucky to catch a glimpse of some of the sunset/sky...

We came to eat here 10 minutes before opening, stuff was laying on the tables inside ignoring our questions if we can sit down and wait for them to open. We ordered food around 12:20 which is what took waiter to come even though we were alone at that point. He was VERY rude, impolite and you could se he doesn't want to work there. On the question what was the reccomendation he was like I don't know eat what you like, I have no idea. Then we waited for a food for 40mins and it didn't even come at the same time. By the time some of us finished others didn't even get the food, and people that came after us already had food on their table. Not to mention that we only ordered pasta, which doesn't take lots of time to make, food was cold, chewy and pesto was some pale green thing that didn't even taste like pesto. I would not come here again definitely. They should work on the stuff behaviour as the menu really...

Rudest waiter I’ve EVER encountered. He needs to be fired. I made eye contact with him to ask for the menu twice and he ignored me, when he eventually came over he angrily told me I had five minutes to order as the kitchen was closing. He ignored me when I asked for the drinks menu, I even said “yes? No?” And he straight up blanked me. When he came back to take my order he walked away whilst I was mid order, so he didn’t “hear” my drinks order and then got angry when I ordered my drink when he delivered my food. He then didn’t give my drink to me but left it on the opposite side of the table because he couldn’t be arsed to give it to me. This man needs to be fired, he was unbelievably rude and made me feel so uncomfortable and small. Real shame because the food was good was if you want to leave in a good mood DO...
