Il Patio

Fantastic experience! Started with a warm welcome from the staff, followed by wonderful care by my waiter. I was so impressed with the Greek salad and sliced chicken.. I will be returning!

il Patio is a work of art, in interior design, food presentation and the delectable flavors. Compliments to the chef. We thoroughly enjoyed our dinner here and would return again. The ravioli was light and ingredients very fresh. The pistachio crusted tuna fillets were impeccable, the tuna was fresh and tender. My friend’s truffle gnocchi and seafood skewer were equally impressive. Give their “French fries” a try, not your regular fries, worth every bite. Dessert, tried to eat it slowly but it was a challenge to go slow! The Apple pie with cinnamon and salted caramel was moist and delicious. We appreciated il Patio’s unique menu with local flavors, truly a delight. The grappa finished it all off perfectly. Will dine here again next I’m in town.

Great ambiance and super friendly staff. The purple gnochetti were delicious! Don’t miss the side of baked potatoes, they were so so soft and flavorful, have never had potatoes so good. Was able to easily get a table without a reservation as 2

Needed a quick dinner, convenient location. The menu showed a good selection. My wife ordered the spaghetti with clamw, my daughter ordered the sea food pasta and I ordered the fonassac (sic) of beef. The bead first came out almost, but seared to a good temp. Overall a great meal.

Highly recommend this place! We came for dinner as we got the restaurant as a recommendation from our host.
We were lucky to get the last free table without a reservation.
The staff was very friendly and helpful. The menu was very typical for the region with an amazing assortment of pizza.
I can recommend the tuna Tatar and the Gnocci!!!!
The atmosphere was amazing. Very lovely decoration with an eye for the detail.

Best gnocchi ever! try the purple ones.

Excellent that I went twice on a recent trip. Reservations is needed. Very busy even during rail end of summer season.

the food I ordered was really really tasty! I was one of the first to dine for the evening and it was nice - the service was amazing as well! The waitstaff were wonderful and friendly. (Didn’t find toooo many veg options tho)
I went back a second time and they were swamped! Service was not as great as the first time and a drink I ordered never came. If you’re stuck between the Margherita pizza or bufala, get the Bufala! It was way better

Loved this place!
We went for lunch and had a pizza and a clam spaghetti, and were so impressed we went back for dinner the same day.
The front has a street patio great for people watching just around the corner from the church. And the back patio is enclosed with a pergola and string lights all around the trees that are very romantic at night.
We both had a meal, drinks and a bottle of water and with tip (10%customary in italy) came to around 75euro.
The servers were all very friendly and the food and drinks were fantastic. I will definitely be back!

So happy we stumbled across this restaurant! The pasta was delicious! I had the truffle gnocchi and it was cooked perfectly and seasoned well!

Great ambiance and not your typical restaurant in tourist areas! Highly recommend

Excellent taste, the best in the region we have tried.
Very joyful and fun caterer.
Reasonable price. Much cheaper than Portofino.
Recommending!

Our family loved this place. We went back twice in the 2 days we spent at Santa margherita ligure. Great service despite being busy. We tried the spaghetti allo scoglio, spaghetti vongole, veal, hamburger, pasta with walnut sauce, pizza. Would recommend their spaghetti allo scoglio, veal and hamburger. My family thought this was one of the best balanced hamburgers they have ever eaten. There was a good mix of seafood in the spaghetti allo scoglio and the best that I had at the cinque terre and s.margherita/pprtofino. It was really busy during dinner time so I suggest you make a booking if you are planning to come here for dinner during peak times

The BEST place to be !!!
I would have give them 6/5 stars if I could.
The place, the atmosphere, waitresses, food,… everything was perfect !!!
My friend and I ate there for lunch and come back for dinner !

Big up to Eros and Garbi for their friendliness 😊

Nice meal in general, seafood pasta very good large selection of pizzas, and special round of applause from me personally for delicious tiramisu. (Tastes are subjective, but I loved it).

Amazing place. Make sure to reserve a place night before. We really enjoyed our time at lovely patio outside. All meals were super b. Fantastic octopus, great fishes and tasty deserts. All tables were cleaned after every usage, staff was very kind and smiling (under masks). During evening prepare that you will need to what a while for your meals and bills. Also keep an eye for a final bill as it happens that you can find there items that not belongs to you. Overall great experience!

Amazing quality of food and desserts! Need to pay few extra € than in regular restaurant but it is more than worth to do it 🔥 Went out very satisfied from visit 🙂

We came to this restaurant by chance, looking for a place to have lunch! Liked everything! The food is delicious, the restaurant design is unusual, the atmosphere is friendly! Don't look at the reviews! I definitely recommend it!

The purple gnocchi was so light they almost floated into my mouth, with enough texture to keep them there so I could enjoy the wonderful flavor.

Fantastic!! Food, service, ambiance are really top shelf. Ordered the bronzino Ligurian style and it was one of the best I have ever had. Definitely a must stop in Santa Margarita!

Amazing food amazing ambiance, the sea food pasta was incredible and the fish with truffle was just in another level. Bravissimo.
