"We're regulars in the Portofino area, and we've tried dozens of restaurants there. Madalu' stands out, let me tell you why: -fantastic location, in the Valle Christi neighborhood, which is very quiet (excellent after an hectic day at Santa Margherita) and really nice (the church below is magnificent). -the terrazza is one-of-a-kind for an Alfresco dining, with very nice views on the church and Valle Christi area, I strongly advise that you reserve a table there in advance as there are not many tables outside -the waiters and owners are nice and welcoming, in fact we found them to be one of the nicest people we encountered during our vacation -menu is very interesting, with some dishes you'll not find anywhere else in the Rapallo area, like Calamari and tomato salad (incredibly good), Cappon Magro (a very particular starter made of seafood and vegetables, really amazing) and all the dishes that they prepare with fresh Porcini mushrooms: pasta with Porcini, fish with Porcini, etc... -quality/price ratio is good and honest, and they also have Sicilian wines like Inzolia and Sabbie dell'Etna!!! All in all we definitely recommend Madalu', and we will certainly be back there ASAP!"
