We often speak of icons as being people, but at Ristorante Puny, it’s a pasta. The restaurant, locally known as ‘Da Puny’, is as famous for its pappardelle as it is its celebrity following. So, what exactly makes it so special? Picture fresh, homemade melt-in-your-mouth pasta generously smothered in a sauce that’s the perfect combination of tomato and pesto.
Follow this with a seafood course – the branzino (sea bass) baked in salt also comes highly recommended – and you’ve got the perfect recipe for a delicious dinner.
The restaurant, located on Portofino’s picturesque Piazzetta, is family-run and, as such, has an extra special, welcoming charm – expect to have at least one conversation with the owner who will enthusiastically ask for your thoughts on his pride-and-joy pasta.
It’s no wonder this charming eatery is high on the bucket list of all manner of travellers – it’s not uncommon to spot a celebrity or two tucking into dinner here.
