Along the cliff, overlooking the sea, runs a long wooden counter from which nice tables for two have been obtained with coverage guaranteed by bamboo umbrellas. Each table has a reserved situation recreated by colored candles, from the maritime pines and the undertow of the waves on the rocks. For larger companies, tables with director's canvas chairs and the elegant cover of a summer gazebo are available. The cocktails served are excellent and the accompanying food is of quality, but not exaggerated in quantity, so you can continue with dinner at the adjacent Churrascaria.

If you are a lover of wine, its colors and scents, I would like to point out a regenerated place in the square in Portofino: the Jolly Wine Bar. The frame is the host, enchants and distracts a little from the wallet that we can keep it a little less closed for one evening! The food is appreciable, while I cannot express myself on the cocktails, but if it is called a wine bar we follow its identity expressed by such a talking name.
