We walked over around 8:30 AM and found that it was still there, but it was closed and had a sign that said they opened at 9:00 AM. We walked by again around 9:15 AM and the place was still closed, completely dark, and with no signs of activity. I figured the business had gone away. We found baked goods elsewhere and went on with our day. Later that afternoon we happened to pass by again, and the store was open with a small selection of cannoli and some other sweets. So it seems like in its current state, this is a mid-afternoon bakery of confections. Or something. If you want bread, go to Crai.

This restaurant's staff turned their backs on us when we asked to pay the cover charge so that we could pay for the table we were at, after we'd already purchased 20 euros worth of food. They said no, and asked us and our small children to leave, and turned their backs on us. It was an extremely hot day. Another guest who was in line behind us was so astounded by their behavior that he came outside to apologize to us for what he had just witnessed. All of those staff would be immediately fired for their behavior if that had happened in England, the United States, Canada, or many other places. DO NOT GO HERE, SPREAD THE WORD.

I'm talking about the kind of food that elicits an audible response moments after your first bite. The focaccia bread at Pacifico Focacceria is like taking a bite out of heaven. Crisp, yet soft and chewy, these breads are the perfect handheld bites to take with you on the go, or stand at a nearby table and indulge in. My wife and I enjoyed two varieties - pesto and mozzarella and one with onions and sausage. Both of them were absolutely fantastic! In fact, if I didn't have to catch a ferry, I easily could've ordered two more and sat down and enjoyed them with a bottle of wine. I've enjoyed many great focaccia breads in Italy, but these easily rank among the best for me.

They serve Italians first and then serve tourists with an attitude. We saw a group of tourists who wanted to sit together and they were not Italian and this place wouldn't move the tables together. They are rigid and inflexible. We were surprised since Monterroso is filled with tourists and this has not been our experience at other restaurants and places we have eaten at. Don't waste your time, save your money and put it to good use at other places that are very welcoming of Americans and tourists.

Beautiful selection of fresh pastries, cookies, cakes, and treats both for breakfast and for take away. They offer a full selection of espresso and coffee however you take it, along with fresh-squeezed orange juice, and bottles of water. There are tables inside and outside though no table service or table charge. Bussing tables is a bit of a toss-up here as staff are usually busy helping customers. I'm inclined to pick up after others, especially when traveling abroad, but bringing the dishes up to the counter just seems to slow down the pace of business. If you're feeling guilty about your own mess or someone else's, I'd recommend just straightening up the table as best you can, but leaving the dishes to the professionals.

Panificio Rosi is a small shop in Riomaggiore that specializes in focaccia. While we stayed in Manarola, it was a short 10 min train ride from that town and we had planned to hike back to Manarola via the Via dell'Amore. Since it was an early morning we were the first customers, so they had plenty of fresh focaccia ready to eat. They have a large variety of focaccia with toppings to choose from, I picked the pesto and tomato focaccia and it was delicious! I would definitely recommend giving this shop a try for focaccia.

The varieties at Panificio Rosi include everything from focaccia with rosemary, anchovies, mushrooms, potatoes, onions, and even chocolate! My pick was the focaccia with artichokes, pesto, and stracchino cheese, and eating this was a revelation. The bread itself was perfectly crusty on the outside, and soft and pleasantly crumbly on the inside. The artichokes added a surprising textural contrast, and the creamy stracchino cheese and the herbaceous basil pesto added great flavor to every bite! I also tried the focaccia with anchovies and capers, and while this version was on the salty side, it was full of umami goodness. All the breads here were sold by weight, and the friendly server heated up our focaccia before we enjoyed this delicious snack!

The other part that made it so terrible was that it was cold! The cheese wasn't even melted!! The walk to my room was only 2 minutes so it didn't get that cold that fast. I was very disappointed. If I knew they heated up frozen packaged lasagna, I would have NEVER wasted money there. I ate it because I was starving but it did not taste good.
