Da O Batti Portofino
About
Da Ö Batti Portofino is a charming, family‑owned restaurant tucked in the narrow alley of Vico Nuovo just a stone’s throw from the famed Piazzetta of Portofino. Since the original chef passed the secret recipe to the current owners some forty years ago, the signature *Scampi alla Batti* – prawns simmered in a fragrant "guazzetto" and served with your bare hands – has become a culinary icon of the Italian Riviera. The interior blends rustic Ligurian elements with modern touches, creating a warm, intimate atmosphere that invites diners to enjoy traditional dishes such as trenette al pesto, spaghetti alle vongole, and the house‑made tiramisu. Guests can experience a relaxed lunch or a leisurely dinner, with the menu offering a balanced array of seafood, pasta, and desserts that highlight local ingredients. The restaurant also caters to special dietary needs, offering gluten‑free options and accepting credit cards. A small, dedicated space ensures a cozy setting, but as a result, reservations are highly recommended during peak evenings and weekends. With its beautiful location, historic charm, and a commitment to authentic Ligurian flavors, Da Ö Batti is a must‑visit for travelers who value culinary heritage and a picturesque dining experience.
