RESTAURANTS WITH THE BEST VIEWS IN PORTO CERVO

VESPER

There is no view in Porto Cervo that compares to dining directly on the sand at Capriccioli beach. Vespro is the only restaurant on the Costa Smeralda where you eat dinner with your feet in the sand, looking out across turquoise water that changes colour with every passing hour. The Vesper Terrace Restaurant serves Mediterranean and Japanese cuisine from 12:30 for lunch and from 19:00 for dinner. Sushi boats, gourmet pizza and a refined a la carte menu are all available. From 18:00 the Black Menu transforms the beach into a sunset lounge experience with sharing plates, cocktails, shisha hookah service and DJ sets that continue until midnight. It is the most complete dining experience on the Costa Smeralda, a place where lunch flows into aperitivo, aperitivo into dinner, and dinner into a night under the stars without ever leaving the beach. Cabana reservations for dinner sell out regularly in July and August.

CRAZY PIZZA

Crazy Pizza by Flavio Briatore occupies a prime position overlooking the Porto Cervo marina, offering one of the most iconic views of the harbour and the moored yachts below. The restaurant combines gourmet pizza with live entertainment and a glamorous atmosphere that has made it one of the most talked about dining destinations on the coast. The terrace view at sunset, with the golden light reflecting off the water and the superyachts, is one of the defining images of a Porto Cervo summer.

Dinner Show Experience:

Every detail is designed to surprise: dynamic service, curated music, live DJ sets every evening, and the iconic spinning show.

FINGERS PORTO CERVO

Fingers Porto Cervo sits on Via Porto Vecchio 1, in the heart of the Promenade du Port, with an iconic terrace that looks directly over the waters of the picturesque bay of Porto Vecchio. A modern meeting place immersed in the discreet privacy of a lush and romantic garden, Fingers offers a Brazilian, Italian and Japanese fusion cuisine that has made it a favourite among returning guests who know the Costa Smeralda well. The setting is intimate and elegant, the menu is creative and bold, and the view from the terrace, particularly at dinner as the marina lights reflect on the water, is among the most beautiful in Porto Cervo.

CONFUSION RESTAURANT

Michelin Star Italo Bassi & ConFusion Boutique Restaurant” />

ConFusion by chef Italo Bassi is the only Michelin starred restaurant on the Costa Smeralda, confirmed in the 2026 Guide. Located on the Promenade du Port overlooking the old harbour, ConFusion delivers the most technically accomplished fine dining in Sardinia. Two tasting menus, an a la carte selection including oysters and caviar, and a panoramic terrace make it the essential Porto Cervo reservation for serious food lovers. Below ConFusion, the Bubble Bar offers champagne, caviar and premium shisha service on the marina terrace.

DINNER SHOWS IN PORTO CERVO

MARRO

Marro is the most spectacular dinner show venue in Porto Cervo and one of the most important restaurant openings in the history of the Costa Smeralda nightlife scene. The venue occupies the iconic space formerly created and designed by Roberto Cavalli, the Italian luxury fashion legend famous worldwide for his exotic animal prints, patented leather printing techniques and unmistakable sense of glamour. The interior design is a direct expression of that vision, and dining inside Marro is an experience that goes far beyond the food.

The restaurant is perched on an elevated hillside position that delivers panoramic views over the ocean, a perspective that few other venues in Porto Cervo can offer. As evening falls and the coastline lights up below, the combination of world class entertainment, refined Italian cuisine and the Cavalli designed interiors creates an atmosphere that is electric, sophisticated and genuinely unforgettable. Live music, performances and DJ sets accompany the entire evening, building gradually from an elegant dinner atmosphere into something closer to a celebration as the night progresses.

Marro  is the dinner show that international visitors to Porto Cervo should not miss. The venue attracts a cosmopolitan crowd that comes specifically for the unique combination of design, entertainment, cuisine and views. Reservations for Marro fill up fast during July and August.

JERO PORTO CERVO

Jero is the most theatrical dining experience on the Costa Smeralda. From Tuesday to Sunday throughout the summer season, the restaurant transforms into a stage where world class acrobatics, contemporary dance, aerial performances, live music and internationally renowned artists perform above and around the tables while guests enjoy Mediterranean cuisine. The proximity between performer and audience creates moments of genuine awe that larger venues simply cannot replicate. No two nights at Jero are ever the same, with a rotating programme of guest artists and productions that rival dedicated theatre shows in their ambition.

ORTO BY CUE

Orto by CUE brings Argentine open fire cuisine to the Costa Smeralda in one of the most original settings on the coast. Guests dine outdoors in an above ground organic garden where aromatic plants, fresh vegetables and herbs grow within reach of the tables. Chef Bruno Ariel Malacasa leads the kitchen with a philosophy rooted in fire, honesty and respect for the raw ingredient. The experience is intimate, sensory and deeply connected to the land, offering a counterpoint to the high energy dinner shows at Marro and Jero.

DINING AND NIGHTLIFE COMBINED

TWIGA PORTO CERVO

Twiga is the most iconic nightlife destination on the Costa Smeralda, operating in the legendary space formerly home to Billionaire. Within Twiga, the Vesta restaurant offers fine Mediterranean dining with an extensive champagne list and panoramic views before the venue transitions into a world class club featuring international headliners including Carl Cox, Diplo, Ozuna, Sfera Ebbasta, Marco Carola and many more throughout the 2026 season. For guests who want dinner and nightlife in a single venue, Twiga is the definitive choice.

JUSTME PORTO CERVO

JustMe, formerly Roberto Cavalli Club, is the original dinner to club hybrid on the Costa Smeralda. Dinner service begins at 20:00 with refined Italian cuisine, and the venue evolves into a full DJ club after midnight with VIP tables, bottle service and an international crowd. The Cavalli legacy lives on in the design and in the energy, making JustMe a Porto Cervo institution.

BEACHFRONT DINING

Beyond Vesper Beach Club, several other venues offer dining directly by the sea. Nammos at Phi Beach brings the Mykonos born luxury dining brand to the granite cliffs above Porto Cervo, with Lucianos serving Mediterranean cuisine during the best sunset on the Costa Smeralda. Langosteria Porto Cervo, the only pieds dans l eau restaurant in Porto Cervo, opens its debut season in 2026 with 160 outdoor seats on the Porto Vecchio waterfront.
