Cashier sits in a plastic section up front like a casino person. Inside of restaurant is like a work in progress. However, patio is why people go as it sits right on the sand. (Unfortunately I don't have a pic to share of the beautiful view.) Service left a lot to b desired. None of the food was great, but all edible. Appreciated having an option to eat a salad. Would not recommend the swordfish. White bread was stale.

They're located right across the port and church, so you can see some nice views of the ocean and also check out the church.

Cool views from this bar, I don't think I'd recommend the pizza though. The crust, while thin, was…read morea bit too thin and resulted in a soupy mess in the end.

We were drawn to the breathtaking views and had to eat here for our last meal in Cinque Terre. The Squid Ink Pasta with Shrimp was delicious! I've never had squid ink pasta but thoroughly enjoyed it. The noodles were cooked al dente and the shrimp was flavorful, fresh, and succulent. Highly recommend, whether you're celebrating a special occasion or enjoying a vacation in Cinque Terre!

We were coming down from Castello Doria and decided to stop in this restaurant for lunch. The view…read morewas spectacular from the restaurant patio. The patio slopes down towards one side so all the tables are sloping too. The service was good but the food was average. The fried shrimp and squid plate was a little plain and the batter was a bit soft so I don't recommend that dish. The fried fresh fish that another in our group ordered was delicious. After you pay, they give you limoncello and an assortment of biscuits. They have a restroom for customers.

We were immediately greeted and chose a table outside with a view. Everything else was closed on a…read morecold holiday afternoon in January, so despite the bad reviews, we chose to eat here. Staff were cordial, and no one was rude; however, there was only one other customer sitting outside with us. There wasn't a lot of choice on the menu, and the linguine with crab for €16 sounded good, so I ordered that and a glass of white wine for €6. We were given a brown paper bag with bread inside it (see pic), and because I'd read reviews, I asked whether the bread was extra, and was told that the bread was included in the cover charge of €2.50 per person. The reviews stating the bread is stale were correct; the dry bread was inedible, and we weren't given anything to go with it. I gave a little bit to the pigeons walking around our table, and they thoroughly enjoyed it. I was extremely disappointed when my meal arrived. A plate of pasta (I can't tell you the flavor of the sauce) with several small crabs on top and below, with nothing to crack open the shell! I asked the waiter how I was supposed to crack the crabs open, and he brought me a plate with 2 wipes and a seafood cracker, but no seafood pick. This would have worked if the crabs on my pasta were larger and not so rubbery, but I ended up having to use my fingers and fingernails to extract the crab meat and place it on my pasta (a seafood pick would have been nice.) My hands were absolutely filthy & cold, and my pasta was cold by the time I finished fighting with the crabs. My suggestion to the restaurant would be to serve only the crab meat on the pasta instead of serving the crabs whole, so the guest can enjoy their pasta. My pasta and wine were fine. They served the purpose of filling my stomach on a very cold day. The bathroom, however, was disgusting. I hope they clean it more often during high season!

We had party of 6, and all but 1 liked our dishes a lot (shrimp/anchovies was not loved). The house red wine is a lighter style Cinque Terre DOC that pleased everyone. Since pasta with pesto is one of the regional specialties, 3 of us ordered this and we're not disappointed. The ravioli came in a walnut sauce that was fantastic! Despite having a reservation requested for outside, we had to sit inside. This was a bit disappointing on a beautiful afternoon, but not a big deal. The service was hurried and not friendly, hence my reduced rating.

I should have stopped there, but the roast pork with potatoes are on the way. The pork and potatoes arrived...and I'm speechless. It's delicious. I didnt think I was going to have room, but it was way to good. Everything was tasty down to the last bite. Reservations aren't necessary, but helpful. This seems like a favourite not for tourists, but for the locals as well. The owner is amazing. It is stressed to let your waiter know of any food allergies. I am allergic to all seafood., but Gianluca was attentive in going over the menu of things I could have. Never had to use my EpiPen. Thank you. Leaving out to pay for meal, you can see into the kitchen. The staff was laughing..that's the reason the food was so good. Happy cooks create good meals. Small note, but not a deal breaker. The air conditioning was on, but it was still warm. I always have a small hand fan handy. I still enjoyed my meal.

My husband and I came for the day to use the beach club, I had read that the hotel was fine but the…read morebeach club was beautiful! We arrived and they were charging €160 for a sub par beach club. The bridge to the rocky cliff side swimming area has collapsed and is now closed so we only had access to the natural pool, which is fine. Not worth the steep price. There are other better beach clubs in the area. I would skip Grand Hotel deli Castelli all together and spend your holiday elsewhere. I believe the hotel management is also deleting bad reviews. Beware.

From helping us pick our meal to treating us like a special guest everything was better than expected. We rarely eat at a hotel restaurant because typically they are awful, but this one is very special. The food was a work of art but also tasted fabulous. The view from the restaurant was spectacular. We ordered a chocolate ball dessert that was out of this world. Truly a restaurant that is worth the price.
