Across the small bay of Portovenere lies the rugged island of Palmaria. There is only one restaurant on the island, the sister establishment to Da Iseo, where Iseo (aka Giuseppe) actually still does the cooking, and oh, how he can cook! Fresh pasta and local fish such as branzino (sea bass) are headliners at this fun dining spot with lovely views looking back toward Portovenere. To get here, take their free wooden speedboat from the dock just outside Da Iseo.
