We sat and ordered some drinks- Coke Zero with a lime hit the spot We knew we wanted pasta and Cinque Terre is known for their pesto so we ordered one pesto pasta and one tomato pasta La "monterossina" pasta has capers, olives, and salted anchovies - salty and perfect al dente pasta. Delicious. The Pasta Al Pesto came with green beans and potatoes. Also very very good! Both pastas were a home run! Great meal in the Italian riviera

What really sets this place apart is how reliable everything is--from the quality of the food to the speed of service, every visit has been outstanding. The seafood risotto is fantastic, but honestly, I've tried almost everything on the menu and every dish has been amazing. The stuffed anchovies and fried calamari are must-try appetizers! In a town full of dining options, this restaurant stands out by delivering an experience that keeps you coming back every time.

We cooled down with iced cocktails and enjoyed the "vegetable" avocado toast that was generously and deliciously prepared. The tomatoes were perfectly ripe from the garden. The service was hospitable with a friendly waitress who talk to us about her restaurant. My wife and daughter-in-law shopped in the quaint shops and there was the most beautiful garden on the balcony across from us. A life time memory for sure. Btw, they had a toilet to use

We had requested a sea view table and were seated closest to the water. We ordered the fish sampler, pesto risotto, and tuna. The seafood sampler included nine types of fish, ever one was excellent. The pesto risotto had prawns in it and was delicious and very fresh. The tuna was cooked perfectly. The restaurant recommended a bottle of local wine which was also excellent. I would recommend this place to anyone coming to Monterosso! Definitely make a booking in advance, we saw several people get turned away who didn't have a booking.

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.
