The 14 best bars and drinks in Portoferraio

We expected way better. The hot chocolate was cold and overpriced, there was even some chocolate powder swimming on top. The rice of the poke bowl was raw and the egg was grey. The shrimp sandwich tasted like nothing. It was a very nice atmosphere and place, but disappointing.

4€ for latte which is not even prepared properly. They give you a 100ml warm milk and one shot of coffee separately… we also had sandwiches and I would say it’s just so stupid to ask for them 10 euro. Just tourists trap

The place is in a really nice location and the staff were super nice, however, I’m not even sure we can review the food. Almost no ingredient was available for most of what we ordered and we were only informed 20 mins after we ordered. The only two things we ended up having were a below average croissant and a mediocre cappuccino. I’d like to believe the schiacciata is nice but didn’t have the chance to taste it. Overall, a waste of time since we had to find somewhere else if we wanted to have a proper meal…I’d recommend informing people of what is and is not available right as they order or before they sit down!

Nice atmosphere, tasteful decor, great music, friendly staff. They have some vegan options and offer soy milk alternative for their coffee. Best iced coffee I've ever had.

Yummy ice-cream, fantastic coffee and friendly staff pleasant location watching the world go by.

Food, place, music, drinks, service. Everything was amazing ⭐️

Really nice place with a lovely view overlooking the marina. We had 2 fresh natural juices, a vegetarian sandwich and a vegan poke bowl. Everything was fresh and tasty, the portions generous, the staff friendly. I found it a bit pricy (15€ for a vegan poke bowl, 9€ for the sandwich and 8€ for one fresh juice) but I understand that it's located right in the historical centre of Portoferraio, which comes with a price of its own. Only watch out: they use ginger a lot and put it in most dishes and drinks, so if you're not a fan make sure you tell the staff. Overall I would definitely recommend it.

Had a reservation for 8, they forgot it, so we waited ages to be seated. Waited 50 minutes for burgers that were supposed to be smash burgers… but got frozen-style patties instead. And it was cold and dry already. Service personnel were very unfriendly. Totally disappointing. Won’t be back.

Great place with awesome view. And the most unfriendly waitress I have encountered in all Italy.

Beautiful location with a great view, but that’s where the positives end. We waited over an hour for our food, which arrived cold. Staff were inattentive and seemed more interested in chatting than serving. Disappointing and overpriced.

View is great but service was just bad. Food was also cold when it arrived. Please don't get the smash burger, its bad. If you have taste for burgers.

The location is absolutely stunning! Therefore it comes with great sadness that the experience is ruined with mediocre food and bad service. The employees gives the impression of caos, costumers are waiting and once that you can order the staff is both unfriendly and inefficient.

WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE EVER!!! I’ve never experience in my life more unhappy people than these ones working here, seriously.. everybody should be fired

Nice bar with awesome view; Unfortunately, service is unfriendly, ignoring customer

Unfortunately a really bad experience - actually two. We went there twice because the prices are better than most places and the view at the waterfront is gorgeous, but both nights it felt like the staff was really more interested in us going than us staying. They got our order wrong once, forgot serving snacks once (which they serve with all aperitivos), they served store bought food, and they totally ignored us after serving the first round of drinks. So sure, go for the prices, but forget all about a good experience.

Merci! Grazie! Thank you for running after me with my handbag that I had left forgotten on my chair!!! Super service avec sourire et excellents cocktails!!

Perfect service. Super friendly. Would recommend anytime! Two thumbs up!

Impossible to get any service after first drink.. Feels like the waiters are afraid to talk to strangers.

Cozy bar in the heart of Portoferraio. Best place to stop for a drink after a long sailing day 🍹⛵️

Best bar in Portoferraio Greta bar staff and good atmosphere!

Nice small bar.

Great spot with chairs arranged to face out to the view. Great coffee served in delightful cups & jug of water to match. Great presentation of biscotti & fruit. Pleasant service. We had coffee here each day.

Best cafe in the port 🤗 Friendly and attentive staff, delicious cappuccino that came with a cookie. I saw people at the next table getting a nice breakfast, decorated with fruits. It looked delicious.

Veeeeery cosy Inside. Very nice view outside. Spectacular tuna!

So cute cocktail bar go have a drink after and or before dinner

The best bar in Portoferraio. The cocktails (martini, gin tonic con mare, margarita…) have all been very tasty. The price is good for the high quality. Waiter is nice and friendly. We loved the music, the atmosphere plus the fact that you can shop in their little designer shop as well.

Great breakfast spot. Good variety, delicious food and simply beautiful serving.

Authentic local food and high quality drinks. The staff is lovely.

Highly unmotivated and lazy staff, poor organization, long waiting time, very bad coffee!

Limited selection, rude employees and insane astronomical prices but unfortunately there are very few alternatives about

Very comfortable bar on the beach with fresh and relaxing terrace. Quite expensive.

(Translated by Google) So I'll break it down in detail because I find it clearer: -Food: Nothing special, filled sandwiches, focaccia, packaged ice cream, nothing more and nothing less than what you can find at any other beach bar. -Service: Nothing to complain about -Ambience: There's something to complain about here, the place is clean overall and nice to look at, but I can't comment on either the bathrooms or the showers since I didn't use the former and I didn't even get close to the latter, since they charge €2 for a cold shower and €3 for a hot shower! I understand squeezing as much out of tourists as possible, but this is shameful as far as I'm concerned! (Original) Allora parleró per punti perché lo trovo più chiaro: -Cibo: nulla di speciale, panini farciti, focacce, gelati confezionati, nulla di più e nulla di meno di quello che ai può trovare in qualsiasi latro bar in spiaggia. -Servizio: nulla da dire in merito -Ambiente: qui qualcosa da dire c'è, il posto risulta pulito nel complesso e carino da vedere, ma non mi posso esprimere né sui bagni né sulle docce dato che nei primi non sono andato e per quest'ultime non mi ci sono nemmeno avvicinato dato che vogliono 2€ per fare la doccia con acqua fredda e 3€ per fare la doccia con acqua calda! Io capisco spremere il più possibile il turista ma questo è vergognoso per quanto mi riguarda!

(Translated by Google) The location is very nice, but that's where the positives end. The bar staff are willing and willing, but the overall organization is terrible. Long lines to get receipts and collect your bill. Furthermore, it's often impossible to find a seat due to the overcrowding at the bar (the only establishment on the entire beach offering food and drinks). The food prices are higher than the quality, which is generally not very good. You go there because you have no other options if you're in the area, not because it's worth a visit. (Original) La location è molto bella, ma qui si fermano le note totalmente positive. I ragazzi al bar ci provano e sono volenterosi, ma l'organizzazione generale è pessima. Lunghe code per fare gli scontrini e per ritirare quanto pagato. Inoltre, spesso non si riesce a trovare posto a sedere a causa del sovraffollamento del bar (unica struttura di tutta la spiaggia ad offrire supporto per cibo e bevande). Prezzi del cibo superiori alla qualità offerta, mediamente non elevata. Ci vai perché non hai alternative se sei in zona, non perché meriti la visita.

(Translated by Google) We had the conference social dinner here. The restaurant is on the sea with a beautiful view of Biodola beach. The food was very tasty, since it was an agreed menu I pointed out that I was allergic to shellfish and they offered me a land menu. The staff was very kind, attentive and efficient. The place remains very elegant. (Original) Abbiamo fatto qui la cena sociale della conferenza. Il ristorante rimane sul mare con una bellissima vista sulla spiaggia Biodola. Il cibo era molto gustoso, essendo un menù concordato ho fatto presente che ero allergico ai crostacei e mi hanno proposto un menù di terra. Il personale è stato molto gentile, attento ed efficiente. Il locale rimane molto elegante.

(Translated by Google) Bar with restrooms and showers. For €10-15 you can get a sandwich and a beer. The place is right on the beach and convenient to beach services. For a fee, you can use the restroom or take hot showers. Sandwiches and beers are average. (Original) Bar con bagni e docce annessi. Con 10-15€ si possono prendere un panino ed una birra. Il locale è a ridosso della spiaggia e comodo ai servizi balneari. A pagamento si può usare il bagno o si possono fare le docce calde. Panini e birre nella norma.

8 euros 33cc beer …Stopped for a quick local beer while exploring the town. €8 for a 33 cl Birra dell’Elba — apparently because it’s ‘local and artisanal.’ I love supporting local products, but at that price I guess the hops are watered with champagne. Classic tourist trap… sadly, not surprised

I was walking around the town when i saw this girl coming out of this coffee bar. She seemed so pleasant and cheerful serving a guest outside. I ordered a delicious oat milk cappuccino and sat outside. The girl was smiling and radiating positive energy. The bar interior is authentic and relaxing. It was a beautiful sunny day on the island.

Very nice place to take an aperitifo and not too expensive.

(Translated by Google) I went on New Year's Eve, they had no change, the service was slow and the drinks were nothing out of this world, the prices were normal. at least they had a bathroom (Original) Sono andato a Capodanno, non avevano resto, il servizio era lento e le bevande non erano niente di fuori dal mondo, i prezzi erano normali. almeno avevano un bagno

(Translated by Google) We chose the restaurant spontaneously. Two cappuccinos and a can of cola were charged €9, which was absolutely overpriced for Italy as coffee usually never costs more than €2. The invoice was also unclear because the exact prices were not listed. Not recommended because it's a rip-off! (Original) Haben das Lokal spontan ausgesucht. Für zwei Cappuccinos und einer Cola-Dose wurden 9€ in Rechnung gestellt, für Italien absolut überteuert, da Kaffee normalerweise nie über 2€ kostet. Auch die Rechnung war nicht nachvollziehbar, da die genauen Preise nicht aufgeführt waren. Nicht empfehlenswert, da Abzocke!

(Translated by Google) Stale croissants and mediocre cappuccinos. Terrible service: incredibly slow and an exorbitant bill for a "mistake." Once they recognize the mistake, they even yell at you... Terrible experience! (Original) Brioches vecchie e cappuccini mediocri. Servizio pessimo: lentissimo e conto esorbitante per un "errore". Riconosciuto l'errore, ti urlano pure contro... Pessima esperienza!

(Translated by Google) Shameful 2 beers and 2 cokes 25€ no bill, luckily they brought us some small snacks from the flight (Original) Honteux 2 bières et 2 coca 25€ pas de note , heureusement ils ns ont amenés des petites collations du vol

Had to try that one – well was captured an evening actually to get the ferry next morning. So this is better than some of the reviews here suggest. Yes service might be a bit unattentive but just talk up what you want. I had a pizza diavola with extra gorgonzola and pomodorri with olive oil and salt as a side. The pizza was delicious and I think their oven is responsible for much of for the flavours. While this is no premium top notch location, it has its charm and service even did their best and are ultimatively customer oriented. The immediate ferry ships in sight are a bonus if one likes the flair of a ferry port.

I love these fries!!❤️

Great place to relax. Had the margarita pizza and it was really good and only 5.5€. If I was here waiting for a ferry again I would return for sure.

Was billed twice for the same thing and also given an extra item I didn't want. Likely not by mistake. Save the receipt and don't get scammed. Talking to them in English is impossible.

Really good and affordable pizza and nice staff! We came back twice.

(Translated by Google) I had a burger and fries. The fries were perfect, and the burger was cold. I pointed this out to the waiter, who had it reheated, but the result was only a hot outside and a cold inside. My companion had fried fish, which was a little overcooked. Great for a drink or a packaged ice cream while waiting for the ferry. (Original) Ho preso un hamburger con patatine, le patatine perfette l'hamburgher freddo, l'ho fatto notare al cameriere che l'ha fatto scaldare, ma il risultato è stato solo l'esterno caldo e l'interno freddo. Il mio compagno ha preso una frittura di pesce, cotta un pochetto troppo. Ottimo per una bevuta o un gelato confezionato mentre si aspetta il traghetto.

(Translated by Google) I still don't understand why it's still called Ostaria Caffé del Porto when the name has clearly changed to Elba Burger. Despite being open practically all day, we were greeted rudely at 2:20 pm for lunch, one of the waitresses very hostile. No positive aspects for the food: we took a hamburger menu where perhaps only the bread was saved, the burger was hard, the fries that accompanied it were a bit faded with a vague fish aftertaste. Finished a bit with difficulty. Too bad, the place had been recommended to us, but the change of management - if there was one - penalized it. (Original) Non ho ancora capito come mai si chiama ancora Ostaria Caffé del Porto quando il nome è chiaramente cambiato in Elba Burger. Nonostante sia aperto praticamente tutto il giorno, siamo stati accolti di malo modo alle 14 e 20 per un pranzo, una delle cameriere molto ostile. Nessun aspetto positivo per il cibo: preso un menù hamburger dove forse solo il pane si salvava, il burger risultava duro, le patatite che lo affiancavano erano un po' svanite con vago retrugosto di pesce. Finito un po' a fatica. Peccato, il luogo ci era stato consigliato, ma il cambio gestione - se c'è stato - lo ha penalizzato.

A wonderful pub with a nice bar. The stuff where all really friendly and care taking. The Burger was excellent! One of the best i have had in years. Definitely worth a visit :)

Best beer in town. Friendly, helpful staff. Nice food. THE place to be for young people at the weekend... can't think why🤔!

Good prices, good beer, tasty food, no air conditioning, all into a usual Irish pub surrounding.

Very good pizza 😋🍕

No place to sit really if you not eating

Ye olde irish style!

Live music, nice staff.

Nice and friendly bar, great music, super drinks, good prices 💃🏼 Will definitely visit again when in Elba.

What’s there to say - people, music and drinks are superb. Buon noche.

(Translated by Google) friendliness, kindness but ABOVE ALL knowledge of recipes and very high bar tender techniques. ULTRA recommended to anyone who wants a properly made cocktail. (Original) simpatia, gentilezza ma SOPRATTUTTO conoscenza delle ricette e delle tecniche di bar tender elevatissime. ULTRA consigliato a chiunque voglia un cocktail fatta come si deve.

(Translated by Google) Super place! We're from Brescia, and I never thought we'd find dart machines. The owner is super, super knowledgeable, and a great person! I highly recommend this place for a good time! INCREDIBLE 🔥🔥🥳🥳 (Original) Posto super! Veniamo da Brescia, non pensavo mai di trovare macchinette per le freccette, titolare super ma dico super preparato ed ottima persona! Consiglio vivamente questo locale per passare il tempo! INCREDIBILE🔥🔥🥳🥳

(Translated by Google) Very central location! The best cocktails at the best price! We went most evenings after dinner, the staff make you feel at home Great Roberto!! Greetings from the Venetian couple 💞 (Original) Posizione centralissima! I cocktail migliori al prezzo migliore! Siamo andati quasi tutte le sere dopo cena, il personale ti fa sentire a casa Grande Roberto!! Un saluto dalla coppia veneta 💞

(Translated by Google) Beautiful place in the historic center, excellent buffets and cocktails, recommended both for a spritz with friends and for a good after-dinner drink. One of the few places on the island open all year round... it also organizes dinners and events, the owner is always very helpful and professional... recommended (Original) Bellissimo locale in pieno centro storico, ottimi buffet e cocktail, raccomandato sia per uno spritz con gli amici che per un buon dopocena. Uno dei pochi locali dell'isola aperto tutto l'anno... organizza anche cene ed eventi, il proprietario è sempre molto disponibile e professionale.. consigliato

(Translated by Google) Very nice hosts and delicious cocktails! Now every evening here (Original) Gestori simpaticissimi e cocktails buonissimi! Ormai ogni sera qua

Such a wonderful experience! Delicious meal (we had lasagna with meat and a salad called Bonaccia), drinks and coffee, the place is extremely charming, the staff very kind, the waitress speaks English and that's not quite usual on Elba. Great value for the price. Definitely worthy to visit and enjoy.

Just a gem! Family run little bar-restaurant with very tasty dishes (like grandma’s cuisine), very friendly service. Highly recommended!

Extremly friendly, good food....

Highly recommend this casual, trendy location for a great lunch. Fresh ingredients and friendly staff. Great food!

Good coffee and toast for breakfast.

(Translated by Google) Great experience! I came here for a late lunch; the kitchen stays open past 2:30 PM, which certainly helps, considering other restaurants' opening hours. I had a pleasant experience. The place is small but very cute and spacious, as the tables aren't crowded together, but rather have room for everyone. The decor is really nice; it's not fancy, but has a bit of a "homey" feel. Once we arrived, we had to wait for a table to become available, but it was a short wait, and in the meantime, we were able to sit at the outside table (just enough time for a cigarette). The menu isn't huge, of course, but in my opinion, it's quite varied and interesting. The service is fast and excellent, the staff is friendly, and I have no complaints about that. The food is also excellent: I tried the orecchiette with clams, arugula, and cherry tomatoes, and the sliced ​​beef with vegetables. The portions are just right, I'd say a little generous, which is a plus. For dessert, I tried the chocolate cake, which was truly delicious. The coffee was also good, and not a given. Finally, I'd call the prices moderate. The three of us spent €70 for two waters, two soft drinks, two first courses, a second course, three coffees, and two desserts. I'd say the prices are more than fair for a restaurant in Porto Ferraio, not too far from the center. So, all in all, it was a positive experience; I recommend it as a restaurant. I'll definitely be back. (Original) Ottima esperienza! Sono venuta qui per un pranzo tardi, la cucina aperta oltre le 14:30 sicuramente aiuta visti gli orari degli altri ristoranti. Mi sono trovata piacevolmente bene. Il locale è piccolo ma molto carino e allo stesso tempo "spazioso", in quanto i tavoli non sono ammassati tra loro ma c'è spazio per tutti. L'arredamento è davvero carino, non è chic e ha un po' l'aspetto di "casa". Una volta arrivati abbiamo dovuto aspettare che si liberasse un tavolo, ma è stata una breve attesa e nel mentre ci siamo potuti accomodare al tavolino esterno (tempo di una sigaretta). Il menù ovviamente non è vastissimo, ma a mio parere è abbastanza vario e interessante. Il servizio è veloce e ottimo, il personale è cordiale, niente da criticare a riguardo. Anche il cibo è ottimo: ho avuto modo di provare le orecchiette con vongole, rucola e ciliegino, e la tagliata di manzo con verdure. Le porzioni sono a mio parere giuste, leggermente abbondanti oserei dire il che è un punto a favore. Come dolce ho provato il tortino al cioccolato, davvero buonissimo. Anche il caffè è buono, e non è scontato. I prezzi infine li definirei moderati, in 3 abbiamo speso 70€ con 2 acque, 2 bibite, 2 primi, un secondo, 3 caffè e 2 dolci. Direi prezzi più che onesti per essere un ristorante a Porto Ferraio, neanche troppo distante dal centro. Quindi tutto sommato è stata un esperienza positiva, lo consiglio come locale. Ci farò sicuramente ritorno.

(Translated by Google) Extremely delicious pasta with a good soy cappuccino (which you don't find everywhere) and an ice-cold Coke! Along with the super friendly waitress, I highly recommend it :) PS: Despite a bread basket and excellent service, we didn't have to pay for a Cuperto! (Original) Extrem leckere Nudeln mit einem guten Soja Cappuccino (findet man auch nicht überall) und einer eiskalten Cola! Zusammen mit der super netten Kellnerin eine absolute Empfehlung :) PS: Wir mussten trotz einem Brotkorb und super Bewirtung kein Cuperto zahlen!

(Translated by Google) Frequented by locals, fair prices. Beer and some appetizers, we had a good time. (Original) Frequentato da gente del posto, prezzi onesti. Birra e qualche stuzzichino, siamo stati bene.

(Translated by Google) Highly recommended. This bar could be more for locals. Very friendly service. Ice-cold beer. The tramezzini are very good, though there's not much choice. The pub on the street is always busy, and there's a cool breeze. (Original) Absolute Empfehlung. Dürfte eine Bar mehr für Einheimische sein. Sehr sehr freundliche Bedienung. Eiskaltes Bier. Die Tramezzini sind sehr gut - gibt allerdings wenig Auswahl. Im Gastgsrten auf der Strasse ist immer was los und es geht auch ein kühles Lüftchen.

(Translated by Google) Mediterranean. Friendly and helpful staff. However, we recommend increasing the quantity of food during the aperitif and introducing the use of ATMs which are in the 21st century. (Original) Mediterraneo. Personale affabile e disponibile. Consigliamo tuttavia di aumentare la quantità di cibo durante l'aperitivo e di introdurre l'utilizzo del bancomat che siamo nel XXI secolo.

(Translated by Google) On the way to embark for Elba, it has a good restaurant. They offer sweets along with the coffee. (Original) Sulla strada per l'imbarco per l'Elba, ha un buon ristorante. Offrono dolcetti insieme al caffè.

(Translated by Google) I love it! It's the classic bar where everyone knows everyone... try it... they also make good coffee! (Original) Io lo adoro! È il classico Bar dove tutti conoscono tutti... provate...fanno anche un buon caffè!

(Translated by Google) Friendly staff, average prices (Original) Personale gentile, prezzi nella media

(Translated by Google) It's worth it just for the kindness of Arcangelo and his family. (Original) Vale la pena già solo per la simpatia di Arcangelo e della sua famiglia

Very average bar in a gorgeous location. We had lunch here and the service was super slow and disinterested and the food was pretty poor in comparison to the great food you can find nearby. A cotoletta focaccia was literally a dry overcooked piece of chicken and plain bread… nothing else. Head to any of the other great restaurants around for a better meal.

The location is incredible. Seriously, the view to the sea from the fantastic and lovely balcony is something I have never seen in my 40 years I’ve lived. We don’t have places like these in Chicago! However…the service. First of all the customer service was very rude and disinterested, we were left with a very bad image of the place. What I’m seriously worried about as a psychologist is the working athmosphere amongst the workers. The (I guess) 2 owners were in full fire! I was outside and could hear one of them scream: ”Prendo la mazza e ti spacco la vespa in due, che e 50% mio!” My nephew is now constantly repeating italian swearwords too…Grazie eh? -Jerome, Amy, Bart

Nice location, but the staff are a bit bored, the play loud music and the result is to make this place not so friendly to stay longer.. The appetitive was nice.

Great spot for a drink — but oh dear, oh dear, oh dear… when it comes to food, it’s a whole different story. You’ve been warned! 🍷🍽️😅

Nice location but while there the barman was showing off for his mates by throwing out pigeon food and then running amongst them kicking as many as he could. One poor bird lay dying and he showed no mercy until we started taking photos..then he tried to hide his shocking behavior and argued with us that these birds are a nuisance and deserve it. He is standing in the pic with the white shirt and sunglasses...

Unwelcoming staff who would not explain that you need to wait to be seated and no any written notice in that regard either. Then they forgot to bring one of the two ordered main dishes which resulted in another lengthy wait. The langustines were not peeled. The long waited linguine with crab was a rather small portion of linguine with the crabs pincers which were impossible to open and/or get anything out of the pincers. Left feeling treated badly by the staff who it appeared prioritised the Italian speaking customers, and feeling somewhat hungry. Too expensive for what we've received: 60 euros for 4 langustines and a small plate of pasta with inedible bits of crab.

This restaurant was so disappointing! The menu said they did celiac friendly pizza and pasta and that was the reason we choose it and I get very sick otherwise!!! Upon ordering was told neither was possible for no reason at all!!!!!! So disappointing! False advertising!!!!! The menus need to change to reflect this!!!!! If you need celiac friendly or gluten free be aware the menu lies!!!!!!!

mouldy food 🥲🥲🥲

(Translated by Google) Qualified staff, coffee and delicious breakfast. Very comfortable armchairs and everything else you will discover if you go to drink good coffee. (Original) Personale qualificato,caffè e colazione buonissima. Poltrone comodissime ed tutto il resto lo scoprirete se andrete a bere il buon caffè.

(Translated by Google) Don't have breakfast in this bar! Very high prices and mediocre quality... Paying 6 euros for two croissants and two cappuccinos is truly unjustified!!!
