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.

We were only in Vernazza for 2 days, but visited Il Pirata multiple times. The main guy running the…read morecafe is very chatty and runs the pastry side of the business, while his brother apparently runs the rest of the food menu. Everything we tried was delicious, and appealed to me more than the super-touristy spots further down the road (though obviously most of the clientele here are also tourists). Prices seemed reasonable for the amount/quantity of food. Most importantly, Il Parata sells toilet paper, which proved hard to come by in Vernazza. Be sure to arrive before 5pm if you want food (outside of cannolis, which were available later).

They do have outdoor seating but we loved eating indoors with the cooling effect of the stone building. The service was outstanding!! They had a pre fixed meal but we opted for a la carte. We loved the sparkling wine we started with. It was a brut nature. There were 4 of us so we just shared everything. We started with the prawn carpaccio, it was amazing!! Everything we ordered was delicious but our hands down favorite was the black truffle ravioli. The rabbit tortellini had a lovely red sauce and I don't even like red sauce! It was so good!! That was our second favorite. The pappardella was the last to come out and it was also amazing. The gnocchi was tender and delicious as well. The seafood in it was tender and perfectly cooked. While we may have had favorites it did not decrease the deliciousness of every single thing we ate!! We only ordered one main, and it was the best duck breast we've ever had anywhere!! We also ordered two desserts, which were great. One was a deconstructed tiramisu and the other a pistachio semifreddo. Highly recommend this restaurant for service and food!!

We ordered bruschetta with prosciutto and melted cheese and a panini and shared them. Also had a couple glasses of wine.

They have terrace seating with Manorola in the far left view. Though it was sunny, it's shaded enough so you don't have to worry about sun in your eyes and it also helps keep the heat at bay.

The ambiance there was very friendly. The pastas were some of the best I've had across Italy, and the the calamari was pretty good, as for the fish I liked it even though I'm a bit skittish of eating fish this way. i would recommend this redtaurant for anyone visiting. Maybe not the gold bier but the blond they have (8 ball) is pretty good.

Trattoria Billy might have been one of the best meals we had in Cinque Terre…read more We were staying in Manarola, just a few minutes walking away from the restaurant, so this ended up being our very first food experience in Cinque Terre-- and what a way to start our stay. It honestly felt magical. The views are spectacular, with that elevated perspective overlooking the colorful village of Manarola, the vineyards, and the Ligurian Sea. But as beautiful as the setting is, the food really stood on its own. The menu is mainly seafood, and we decided to go all in with an appetizer made up of lots little plates, each offering a different seafood preparation and flavor. There were so many tings to try, and for two serious foodies like us, it was such a fun and enjoyable way to start the meal. Everything felt fresh, interesting, and beautifully prepared. Service was equally impressive: attentive and genuinely friendly, but also knowledgeable. Our server was able to guide us through the menu, making the experience feel casual and easy going. We had such a great time here. Between the incredible views, the atmosphere , and the genuinely outstanding food, Trattoria Billy gave us the very first taste of Cinque Terre and set the tone for what turned out to be a very special stay.

The view is beautiful, although after dining at another restaurant in Vernazza, we felt that both the food and the scenery there were even better in Vernazza. Unfortunately, our experience started on a negative note. The person who handled our reservation over the phone made a mistake with our booking. Instead of acknowledging the error, he blamed us, argued with us, and never apologized. After a long, steep climb on a very hot day, this was not the welcoming experience we were hoping for.
