When the internet got knocked out due to "clouds and mountains" according to the host of my Cinque…read moreTerre accommodations in Biassa, I had to find somewhere on a Sunday to get some wifi. The library was closed, and my electronics strangely would not recognize public wifi elsewhere... Such as Coop (grocery store/mall nearby) or McDonald's (well, it picked it up, but given they require me to get an SMS code on my cell, I couldn't get their wifi, as I had no activated cell). So came Caffe' Diamante to the rescue! Even before I ordered anything, the owner/server allowed me to sign onto his wifi. (I wanted to make sure it worked before I committed to eating again, since I had literally just eaten while checking out Coop's wifi situation). It worked! So, I ordered my 2,50 salami sandwich and sat down... for five hours. Granted, there were no outlets that I could use, since I have one of those "round" European adapters, while the ones in the cafe were those two-pronged ones that are slightly thinner and closer in distance between the prongs. But, my laptop battery mysteriously lasted the full five hours, and the owner/server didn't give me the evil eye one bit. In fact, he smiled as authentically as a man at peace with the world could when I handed him a note on one of his napkins in what I knew was broken Italian (thanks to Google's not-so-good translator) to thank him for allowing me to be there so long. Granted, I didn't take a table from anyone waiting for one, and this is the type of place where locals would stream in and out to take their latte--or first glass of wine for the evening--and read the paper. But, still... 2,50 for a sandwich and five hours of peace?! Plus, he even charged my phone (my GPS) behind the counter when it died. And, there's a clean bathroom... with toilet paper and soap! As for the sandwich, it was standard for Italy. Bottom line: Caffe' Diamante came to the rescue and did it in style. This is the definition of a small business worth frequenting.

They took most major credit cards, but not Amex. This is a nice spot if you want to relax on a patio while taking in the square!

Stopped at this Italian restaurant while roaming the streets of La Spezia to try some authentic…read morepizza and lasagna. The prices were very reasonable when comparing to others in the area. Lasagna for $9 euros, you can't go wrong. I thoroughly enjoyed the lasagna and the pizza with prosciutto and tomatoes. Delicious! The service was not memorable or even average...but the food and the price made up for that. I love the idea of outdoor dining so it was wonderful to enjoy a slice of pizza while watching people walk by.

I thought the food was good. I enjoyed their freshly-squeezed orange juice. The outdoor seating is a bit cramped, but it's still pretty cool watching all the tourists walk by and looking in awe of beautiful Manarola.

Our BnB was right next to this restaurant and this was our go-to place to grab breakfast every day…read morethat we were in Manarola. They have a ton of breakfast options like cornettos, lattes, eggs and pancakes. Their pistachio pancakes and chia pudding will make you salivate. Both came with fresh high quality berries. I love that their portion sizes for the pancakes are on the smaller side unlike the US. I also enjoyed their hot chocolate with a side of espresso (my favorite combination where mocha is unavailable lol). We also came in the evening once and seemed like it is a popular place to get an aperitif. Service is a bit slow but 10/10 would recommend.

We got a table right at the water's edge, and were served promptly. We ordered croquets and a couple of pizzas. These pizzas were easily one of the best lunches of the trip so far, and the potato croquets where like creamy, cheesy tater tots on steroids! My wife had the Carbonara pizza (a white pizza with egg, porcetta, and cheese), and I had the Mammamia with tomato, fresh mozzarella and DELICIOUS spicy sausage (not too spicy, just a pleasant zing of heat). Their gelato selection looked pretty good too, but we were too full to indulge. If you find yourself in Porto Venere, definitely try this place!
