    What a view, even on a rainy day!
    Kev M.

    We tried to get into a different restaurant but they were booked out by a large party so we went here instead. I have to admit, some of the negative reviews were kind of off putting at first but after coming here, I'm really glad we did! I had the linguine with local anchovy and rabbit and both were phenomenal. Highly recommend. Everyone else in our party enjoyed theirs as well. The only negative thing we agree with is the bread is not great. Amuse and welcome Prosecco a nice touch. 4.9/5

    We loved everything about this place! Right in the heart of Monterosso in Cinque Terre. Wonderful food, views and memories. Thank you.

    the view was unbeatable. The tasting menu was required for lunch and if you enjoy seafood, that should not be a problem. This was delicious. Expect to be here for 2+ hours tho, as we were only on a day trip, we did have to ask to speed up the last couple courses

    If you're looking for a romantic, intimate, and memorable experience, I HIGHLY recommend this restaurant, especially in the evening. We were just strolling thru Monterosso when we came across this beautiful old lookout tower. This place looks like it's at least 400 years old... nice sandstone bricks. Feels like you're sitting in a castle. Saw a few lizards running around, camouflaging into the sandstone (I'm a big fan of lizards, so this was a huge deal for me). When the sun started to set, the views became even more epic. As the sun gradually set under the Ligurian Sea, a calm darkness swooped over the mountains. The weather was perfect. We got so lucky, because we did not have a reservation and still got seated in one of THE BEST spots overlooking the sea. Definitely book a reservation. At this point, I honestly didn't even care about the food... the views were enough. However, we were starving of course so we shared a mixed fish platter and some other appetizers. I hate to say it, but I wasn't a big fan of the platter! Maybe I would have enjoyed it more if I got a dedicated piece of fish for myself... but overall, it still wasn't terrible, but not the best food we had in Italy. 4.5/5!!! - one of the most beautiful spots in Cinque Terre

    Incredible dinner booked for my mom's birthday. The views were incomparable to any restaurant -- no matter which way you faced, you could see both sides of Monterosso. We ordered a bunch as a family and split, and it was incredible. Our waiter was friendly and brought us blankets because it got chilly later in the dinner. Definitely expensive but so worth it (appetizers were small portions but meals were good size) and filled us up. Welcome champagne brought to the table, and definitely recommended in Monterosso for any occasion!

    The 3 stars are for the views. Absolutely stunning views and gorgeous atmosphere. Unfortunately, it stops there. The food was a huge disappointment. We ordered the filet mignon (30€) and the baked seafood (€30). The filet smelled really bad, like old meat. The seafood bake was also definitely not worth the price. Come for the views and drinks, skip the overpriced and horrible quality food.

    The views from this restaurant are beautiful. They sat us right by the water for lunch. The server was friendly and came right over. They gave us a sample of prosecco to start. We ordered a buratta appetizer with Truffle and it was very tasty. I ordered the Pesto pasta with red prawn. It came out amazing, the pesto was soaked into the pasta. The restaurant was clean. I highly recommend trying this restaurant.

    Gnocchi - do not order, very bad
    Adwait A.

    Not recommended if you are vegetarian. Their pesto gnocchi was the worst thing we had in our entire Italy trip. Actually their pesto was the worst we had in cinque terre with something bitter in it. Also even though they had several empty ocean facing spots, which remains empty for the next hour, they did not let us have those seats. Without the food and view there was nothing left to enjoy at this place. The wines were just okay. They were not ready to accommodate our vegetarian needs and said they could not substitute or make anything not in menu with vegetables.

    the view the is the best the food is average. the waiter was so condescending and with an attitude. first time we get such a terrible service in Italy. Also they offer you a welcome, disgusting Prosecco that they charge you at the end. incredible!

    It was her favorite meal in all of Cinque Terre, and the squid ink pasta was absolutely amazing.

    Fabulous and such a great surprise, as we got seated without a reservation for dinner. Wonderful…read moresetting facing the sea with incredibly friendly waitstaff. The best homemade pesto pasta! So light and healthy tasting. The fritto di mare was excellent, as was the pasta with sardines, a specialty of theirs. Don't let the location on the boulevard fool you into thinking it's s as tourist trap. It isn't! Highly recommend!

    Well.... The waiter when asked if there was seating…read moreavailable said "yes there is but I will not seat you". Ok.... I believe he thought we interrupted his conversation with his friends however we waited a good 5 minutes before asking the question thinking maybe he didn't see us standing there. Anyway, it went down hill from there as we took a picture of the entryway to remember the name as we thought we might review this incident later. The waiter then started yelling at us that it was illegal to take pictures... Wow... super good service and a boxing match threat... Ok so we went next door and ordered... The wait staff at the restaurant we settled on said "dont worry about that waiter next door he gets in arguments all the time with people." And so he did... as he approached us again with the woman manager saying stuff about illegal photography... once again way to aggressive and way to unprofessional.. Actually 1 STAR is to high.... I would recommend you avoid this one...
