Even with other restaurants around, we picked this place for its great water views and people-watching. We kicked things off with a refreshing beer and a tasty rosé. Our appetizer basket was a hit, loaded with crispy onion rings, savory chicken wings (our only chicken wing stop!), delightful fried potato balls, and gooey mozzarella triangles. We finished off lunch with two sweet gelatos! Super friendly staff and delicious food made for a great stop before our boat departed for the mainland.

There's a couple of tables outside the restaurant, but it can be hard to snag a table since a lot of people are waiting around. We were able to sit at a bench nearby, but for the most part, people were just standing around and eating. The pesto pasta is their most popular order, it's includes the local Ligurian pasta: trofie, distinguished by its thin and twisted shape. The trofie & pesto was delicious and comforting, as a pesto enjoyer. The other pasta dish we got was the pasta al sugo di orata, a tomato sauce pasta with seafood. This dish was also delicious and I enjoyed the topping additions. Portions were fantastic and the price was very fair. Pippo a Vernazza is a no frills spot, but you can expect some good pasta, I would definitely check them out them if you're in the mood for pasta.

A heads up is this restaurant is on the less busy side of town so it was slightly harder to find but well worth the walk.

Their main thing is this "fill‑the‑cone" deal -- you cram in as much deep‑fried food as you can hold: chicken wings, fried seafood like calamari or whatever's fresh, and even veggies. Honestly? The food was fine, but nothing mind-blowing. Durant feel healthy. And on a crowded tourist day, finding a bench is a little gamble: there's no seating at the place itself, so you're contending with other hungry folks for a spot on the nearest seawall or street corner. If you get lucky and snag a bench, though, it's kind of a vibe: you crack open a cone of fries or fried fish, sip an Aperol spritz and watch the bustle of tourists and locals meander by. It's casual, messy, and kinda fun, exactly what a street‑food stop should feel like.
