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.

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.

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.

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.

I was concerned that this place would be a horrible tourist trap but the waiters were friendly, the food was delicious and the place was packed due to its location.

They were all prepared in a great tomato based sauce and came with a toast loaf of bread. It was excellent!!! My wife had the seabass and also enjoyed the meal. The waiters were friendly and not pushy. We really enjoyed the views. Definitely, this was a good dinner location in Monterosso! Enjoy!

The restaurant felt cozy on the rainy May night, but I can see in Summer it would also be a perfect spot for a long dinner with the windows open and the fresh sea breeze. They have an extensive wine list with a lot of great options available from the surrounding Cinque Terre wineries, we chose a Vermentino (to sip on once we'd finished our delicious Negroni's to start). Before the meal arrived we were served complimentary snacks, the fried fish ball was INCREDIBLE. To start we shared the local anchovies that came six ways - 3 cold followed by 3 warm - the stuffed anchovies and lemon marinated ones were the tables favorite, we also shared the scallops which were cooked to perfection. For mains, I went with the local catch of the day which was a delicious white fish, my brother had the tuna and I was extremely jealous after trying, it was full of flavor and melted in your mouth. For dessert, I highly recommend the lemon dessert with meringue, our whole table fell in love with this. The service throughout the evening was excellent and attentive and we all enjoyed our night here. I highly recommend a visit to Miky if you're in Cinque Terre
