3 WOW dishes!! Paccheri with swordfish and eggplant, cod and linguine. Octopus NO, tough, rubbery. A few lapses in style prevent me from giving 5 stars. 1. When ordering, you told me that due to the organic stoppage, there's no purple shrimp tartare, but if the linguine with squid ink is enough for me... I'll have them, but you shouldn't have charged me the €22 for the whole dish! 2. The microfiltered water. Charging for it is already questionable, but assuming it's good practice, if when you tell me what you brought to the table I tell you there's a second bottle, you'll make a much better impression by overlooking it than adding €1.50 to a €100 bill for 2... 3. The rubbery octopus. If the dish came out of the kitchen exactly as the chef intended, it's best to remove it from the menu. If it was an oversight, we're at the third lapse in style. 4. At first, there were only a few people in the restaurant, so the atmosphere was quiet, even romantic. Then five people arrived, a couple of whom were speaking at a decidedly excessive volume, and the atmosphere descended into a frenzy. It's a shame. The chef seems like he knows his stuff.
Went in with a group of people while on a coach trip. Person who served us was most unhelpful and it was nearly 10min before he came to take order,only had drinks so can't comment on food.<br>There was no other customers in and I can understand why if that is how you treat customers. Would not recommend
Good and tasty food, we ate salmon, it was really good
Paccheri with sea bass, yellow cherry tomatoes and pistachio 😋 super good!!!
We were walking in Santa Margherita and ran into a couple we'd met in Portofino. We were looking for a place to have dinner, and they said, "Try Levant Restaurant—they have the best pasta." We headed there and were greeted by Michele, the owner and family-run business. We asked for the best appetizer, and he recommended the Octopus Salad. It was delicious. For the second course, we shared the Paccheri with sea bream fillet and topped it with a Chocolate Soufflé. If you're in Santa Margherita, Levant is a must-try.<br><br>We were walking in Santa Margherita and ran into a couple we'd met in Portofino.

The service was pleasant and the pasta was good for a tourist spot. The coffee, however, wasn't very good.
We stumbled upon this place by chance and it ended up being the best meal of our entire trip. The spaghetti alla nerano was superb, as was the pasta with clams and mussels. A perfect 10.
When I say the pesto pasta was perfect, I mean it. Very grateful for the food and their hospitality here.
I was hesitant to try this place at first because I didn’t want to try another tourist trap restaurant. But this is probably one of the best restaurants I’ve had in all of Italy! I ordered the pesto pasta and it was so creamy and yummy. We also ordered the catch of the day, a Seabram, he grilled it and cleaned it for us. It tasted so fresh! Others ordered the seafood carbonara and ravioli bolognese and both were sooo good! Highly recommended this place for anyone visiting the portofino area.
Best food in all of Italy! We ordered so many dishes and they were all delicious. The best customer service as well!
Highly recommend!! Everything was delicious. We ordered the pesto pasta, grilled sea bass, bolognese ravioli, and seafood pasta. 10/10 everything was perfect! The waiter was very kind and cleaned the fish for us as well! Can’t recommend this place enough!
The pasta was the standout — easily 10/10. Beautifully cooked, full of flavour and genuinely delicious.<br><br>The service was quite minimal and could have been a little warmer and more attentive, but the quality of the pasta more than made up for it. Definitely worth a visit for the food alone.
I always have a great time here at Michele's!<br>The quality of the fish is really good and the service is excellent.
A standard tourist restaurant. No more, no less. The seafood carbonara was delicious. The atmosphere was so-so.
Found a seat easily, courteous service, average food.
