The staff was warm and inviting since the second we walked in. The overall ambience was entertaining with the mix of music that was being played (salsa, bachata, latin top 100) and the tables were spaced apart for privacy. For my appetizer, I had the Seafood Antipasti. It was delicious and a great mix of local catches. It had sardines, oysters, and a stuffed seafood and cream empanada. My only dislike was I wished I had more haha. The Trofie di Pesto was downright delicious and well cooked. The only reason I can't give them five stars, is because it was pricy compared to other places and the portions given were a bit small. Despite this, I recommend this restaurant for a romantic dinner with a partner.

We visited here for our anniversary and still dream of the food. The pesto in Levanto is like…read morenothing you have tasted before. They make it with a young basil with pine nuts giving it that neon color green and richness. We love Da Tapulin and have recommended to friends who were lucky to discover Levanto.

There isn't really anywhere to wait, but fortunately it was nice so we just sat on the curb across the street. When we did get seated, the food was served promptly and a great bargain. Good portions and cooked perfectly. The problem we had is as the place started emptying, the staff started eating and essentially ignored the few who were left, unless you were a local. Recommend go early & you avoid that problem.

The ambiance there was very friendly. The pastas were some of the best I've had across Italy, and the the calamari was pretty good, as for the fish I liked it even though I'm a bit skittish of eating fish this way. i would recommend this redtaurant for anyone visiting. Maybe not the gold bier but the blond they have (8 ball) is pretty good.

Right off the bat, a lil bit of a weird vibe from the hostess and the waiter that gave us nonstop stares as we sat down and then proceeded to bring us stale bread in a paper bag. At first I thought it was just a few stares because we're American and that's maybe understandable, but every time I would look over in their direction I was met with intense eye contact and it made us all feel very uncomfortable and almost unwelcome. The inside ambiance was also a little sterile but whatever, it was also colder out so their outside area was closed so that was a bummer but understandable. We ordered the Trofie Al Pesto and the Lasgana, as well as the grilled mixed seafood. The pesto came with prepackaged Parmesan (felt a lil weird for a restaurant in Italy) and was a lil too sauce heavy. The lasagna on the other hand was outstanding, probably the only win of the night. Grilled seafood was okay too but nothing special. Overall just a weird and off vibe from the service, nothing friendly or outstanding like the reviews said. Definitely will not be returning and left us with a bad taste in our mouth once we left.

Everything we tried was delicious, and appealed to me more than the super-touristy spots further down the road (though obviously most of the clientele here are also tourists). Prices seemed reasonable for the amount/quantity of food. Most importantly, Il Parata sells toilet paper, which proved hard to come by in Vernazza. Be sure to arrive before 5pm if you want food (outside of cannolis, which were available later).

He was so passionate about each pastry and dish which makes all the difference. Some chefs are just robotically serving up something to make money, but once in a while you come across the few special ones who are crafting their passion into an experience of flavor - they care about the customer, they care about the food, they want to see smiles and make your day memorable. They create an atmosphere out of their own infectious energy. These artists are truly making the world a better place and I can definitely say that about this establishment. They served this pistachio cannoli which was loaded with ricotta and actual pistachio flavor touched with orange, which was the best cannoli we had through a month of gluttonous Italian adventure. Their pistachio croissant matched the greatness and in fact was even better than any that we found in France! The berry panna cotta was also perfectly balanced being quite the treat yet clean feeling; the trademark Cinque Terre pesto gnocchi of course hit the spot; and the walnut ravioli sheesh what flavor as well as unique factor - dare I say, I even tasted a hint of hazelnut. If you go to Cinque Terre they say have have to go to Vernazza, and if you go to Vernazza I'm saying you have to visit Il Pirata. It's a little peace away from the madness tucked into the top of the street. They will treat you right
