    View of the sea from my balcony
    Shannon S.

    Since I couldn't make it to the Amalfi coast this summer, friends from Firenze recommended Cinque Terre as an alternate coastline, so I did some research and I found Hotel Porto Roca in Monterosso. It is a luxurious hotel, and I read a ton of reviews that suggested springing for the upgraded room with a view of the sea, and I am so glad I followed that advice. I had one of the most beautiful vistas of my lifetime all from this tiny balcony on a cliffside hotel. I spent two days relaxing by the infinity pool drinking Aperol spritzes, eating at their restaurant, and swimming in the Ligurian sea. It was a super restorative way to spend time during a heatwave, and I would absolutely go back to this hotel. They speak many languages at the hotel, and most patrons seemed American, Dutch, or British. Check out my photos because words cannot accurately express just how majestic the bay is--if you've been to Maui, Hawaii, it is sort of like that! Their restaurant and poolside bar are also really decent, with great servers. Ps: there are more benefits and less clerical issues when you book directly from hotel websites in Italy. This hotel specifically offered 20% off for using their website to book. Pps: there are no public cars or parking lots in this town. You get off the train and BOOM your at the coastline! The hotel offers a shuttle up and down the cliff or you can hike it, but it's steep. Monterosso is freaking gorgeous

    I can't say enough about this hotel. We are extremely well traveled so my review has some merit behind it. We stayed here only for 2 nights but this is our 3rd stay. The staff is beyond friendly and extremely helpful when asked. It is perched on a BIG hill and yes you have to go up and down the hill but for those of you who don't like to hike it, they will happily take you down and up - there's a phone to call at the bottom. Without its position on the top of this huge hill, you'd never have the view. The view - incredible!! We had 2 rooms with balconies and an ocean view. I would suggest only having an ocean view . The pool is wonderful - perched at the end of the property overlooking the ocean. You can also watch the hikers taking off to do the Cinque Terra Hike - highly recommend that you hike all the towns. ( wear the right shoes, lots of water in backpack and go EARLY - you can do it!!!) they have a private gate to start the hike right from their property. The rooms - extremely clean and decorated nicely. Some might say a bit old school but it is completely right for this hotel!! The bathroom towels are fabulously soft. Breakfast has a huge variety and the staff is very nice. Price - we are from Southern California so it's extremely fair priced. A perfect place to stay and experience Cinque Terra for sure!!! Also if you come by train just ring them up at they'll send a cab at no cost right away

    Our Airbnb was just around the corner from Da Eraldo and I had discovered them based on their high…read morereviews. As we walked by, we noticed some of their employees inside so we asked if we could make a reservation for dinner for 6pm or 6;30pm. They recommended 6pm and took my name. We arrived promptly at 6pm and were the 2nd table seated. I'm so glad we came early. Over the next few nights we noticed so many people waiting outside all night long. I will tell you that my branzino was amazing. Fresh and cooked perfectly. I really enjoyed my healthy meal and I don't mind deboning a whole fish myself. My daughter had the linguine with clams which was also very delicious. My son had the pesto lasagna which was so-so. We were expecting red sauce bolognese so it could just be that we just had different expectations. He also ordered the steak and enjoyed it. My husband had the fruitti de mare and thought it was just okay. Something to know is that because they are so busy with so many people waiting, they like you to order everything together. We noticed a server who got frustrated with another table who tried to order apps, and then tried to order the main meals after they finished them, then dessert. These employees are hustling and trying to turn tables, as you see the queue outside waiting. It's a tiny cozy restaurant with a lot of demand. I would recommend this place for certain dishes, especially the fresh fish.

    Nice setting, great service, and the dinner was yummy. The first night, we couldn't get in we got a…read morereservation for the next night. The price is reasonable and the menu varied. The bread served at the table was unique and quite good.

It looks amazing at a quick glance. We walk a few more steps and then turn back around to see it again and ask the man working if he can seat the 3 of us. He looks around at his tables (there are only 6-8 tables) and tells us to come back in an hour which seemed a little off putting at first. He tells us to try any of the restaurants next door because they are all his. But my mind is stuck on the carbonara. So we ask if he offers takeaway for his meals and he agrees to our carbonara and pizza order. Later I realize he's the owner and just very busy and focused on taking care of his customers and actually friendly. While we're waiting, the solo Italian man raves about the carbonara. Says he's an advertising salesman who travels often to the area and eats out often and this carbonara is the best. He liked that he focuses on quality, not quantity. Sold! It was one of our best meals on the trip. The bacon was cooked perfectly and crispy. Pasta cooked perfectly and sauce delicious, just clung to the noodles. Pizza devoured and he actually cut the pizza slices so we could share easily. I'm sad it was our last night, otherwise I would've gone for a second time. I'll be thinking about that carbonara for a while. Definitely worth a stop in Old Town Monterosso.

    Excellent Choice For Dinner…read more.. My wife and I arrived in Monterosso al Mare for the first week of our vacation around Cinque Terre. Where to eat? Our hotel - Villa Steno.....a wonderful place - plotted several recommendations on a map. The first place we tried was Oscar. Our impressions were as follows: Pros: - Most of the seating was on the patio out front which was delightful - We shared the Seafood Salad and Pasta with Seafood. Both were great! The second dish was among the best I've ever tried. - Dark bread accompanying dinner was amazing - A bottle of local Sauvignon Blanc went perfectly with the meal - It seemed the owner or one of the owners served all the customers. She was friendly, efficient and how she did it I'll never know. - Prices were very reasonable for everything we ordered Cons: - Only one: Oscar, like most restaurants in town, opened at 7 PM which was a bit late for us Americans. Both my wife and I heartily suggest trying Oscar.

    It's good clean food for a fair price don't get me wrong. But this as the same menu and same…read moretasting food as like 75% of restaurants on cinque terre. Pesto pasta, seafood pasta, calamari, mussels... pretty much the only thing a great handful of restaurants around here serve (usually pizza too) Overall it's fine it just won't be a memorable meal.
