I’m so glad that you gave a lot of useful tips for traveling in this place! I’m from Serbia, and many people here didn’t hear about such a beautiful places such as Portofino, because many can’t afford it, or many have never heard about such amasing places like Camogli, Monterosso al Mare.. This ‘citta’ ;) also remind me of cities in Cinque Terre cost which i like the most.

Even the restaurants in S M Ligure are expensive and many do not take credit cards. Whether you are there in high season or low season, this is an area, particularly Portofino, of VIPs and the like so good food even at an expensive price is not to be found. It truly is a double edged knife when you get a terrible meal for a ton of money in Italy where good food is a religion.

I was in the area on a small group tour for a cooking school in 1990. Took a boat to Portofino and it was so pretty; all we did was look around and drink some wine, though…all our meals were at the hotel where the chef taught the cooking class. Also walked the Cinque Terra and caught the final train of the day back to mainland, whew!. Best trip I have ever been on. Such friendly people.

I had a similar experience in Venice, with a restaurant listed favorably in a popular travel guide even. Not only were they expensive, but rude. I started with a soup, and I’m glad I waited to order dinner, because that weak broth was so bad, way worse than canned. Figured it was my sign not to bother trying anything else there.
