Puny, Portofino

Puny is a chic restaurant named for its owner, Luigi “Puny” Miroli, a character who fills the restaurant with his pleasant airs. In addition to Puny's charm, the restaurant specializes in sophisticated cuisine rooted in tradition—fresh fish, salted fish, sea bream with potatoes and olives and apple cake and apple or pear pancakes, hors d'oeuvres which vary according to what the sea and the season have to offer. More fortunate visitors will be able to find a place outside and immerse themselves in the worldly atmosphere of the Piazzetta di Portofino. The wine list is limited, but good.
