Dolce & Gabbana Caffè Excelsior

Superb! This was a fabulous cafe stop for me- I was here for the day from our sailing yacht and it was my first time in Portofino. Superb service, great view to people watch in a nice atmosphere, and superb wine - the best Vermentino I’ve ever had! The waitresses kept bringing me crunchy snacks and nice cheeses as a hospitality offering - amazing touch! The food menu looked great, and I can’t wait to come back next year to sample it when I return! This was the perfect place for me to relax sipping wine and nibbling on snacks after my exhausting shopping in the boutiques ;-) , see you in September in 2026, ciao!!!

The best service I have ever seen. The staff was incredibly friendly and surprised us with a delicious iced coffee and authentic pastries. The fruit on the pastries was fresh and full of flavor. On top of that, we enjoyed a stunning view, which made the whole experience perfect. Definitely a place I’ll come back to!

We came here to try the desserts and have a little snack. As soon as we arrived, we were immediately seated. The service was very friendly and nice ☺️ We ordered a sandwich, two ice creams, two coffees, a glass of wine, and also tiramisu. Everything was brought to us quite quickly. The coffee was decorated with the GB logo, and the tiramisu was beautifully decorated as well. Everything was amazing — the ice cream was incredibly delicious! I definitely recommend trying the pistachio ice cream at least once. What we especially liked was that the sandwich came with potato chips and three different sauces. And with the coffee, they served a little chocolate and three kinds of sugar — that was such a lovely touch! ❤️ The prices here are high for Italy, but I think they are well justified.

Good location but the service was pretty bad and the food abysmal. The lobster roll had 90% carrot 10% lobster ratio, never seen anything like it ! although they were nice enough to remove it from the bill.

The service from the waitress perfect , the service from the bar very slow the croissants coming 10 min before the coffee arrived.

Lovely view but there are identical views and far lower prices, you are paying for the Dolce and Gabanna branding which we were happy to do. Contrary to all the comments I didn’t think the service was poor. They don’t really do meals just snacks and drinks but this is a fun experience if you are in to fashion

A stylish cafe in the town square. It's definitely not cost-effective, but you're in Portofino anyway.

Bad experience. The coffee shop looks elegant but the people work here totally opposite - not friendly at all, even don’t know how to put the coffee on the table…should not come here.
