About
In Elba, Il Porticciolo sits on Via del Mercato Vecchio, 11, 57037 Portoferraio LI, a restaurant in the island's main harbour town. Portoferraio and the other settlements of Marina di Campo, Capoliveri, Porto Azzurro, Marciana, Procchio, Cavo and Rio Marina lie within easy reach.
Il Porticciolo is known for serving diners in Portoferraio, where a harbour setting shapes the daily rhythm of the town.

An average of 3.7 out of 5 from 87 reviews places it in the middle of the range for Portoferraio restaurants.
Italian is the main language spoken here, with Sicilian, Sardinian and local dialects heard alongside it, so a few words of Italian help at the table. Across Italy's islands the climate runs to hot, dry summers and mild, wetter winters, and Elba follows that pattern.
Several Italian islands are volcanic, among them the Aeolian group, Ischia and Sicily's Mount Etna, Europe's most active volcano, which gives the wider archipelago its varied terrain. Greek, Carthaginian, Roman and Arab traces survive from Sicily's temples to Sardinia's nuraghe towers, a reminder of how many hands have shaped these shores.
