    Spaghetti with clams and ravioli with walnut sauce.
    Lauren H.

    A pleasant and tasty lunch. We ate here after arriving in Monterosso from the boat that took us next to all five towns. The clams in the spaghetti clam dish were very delicious and fresh. The flavor of the walnut sauce at Trattoria da Oscar was not as nutty as the walnut sauce at Marina Piccola in Manarola the night before. My hunch is that Trattoria da Oscar did not use enough walnuts in its walnut cream sauce to achieve a super nutty flavor. The bagno situation is a little weird. You receive a key for the bathroom, and you walk to a random door in a building down the street. Outdoor seating was great!

    So this was our first dinner spot in Monterosso. Can I stop real quick and say how great Monterosso is? Ok good, so let's start with the positives. Great little restaurant with outdoor seating. We tried the anchovies which was an experience on its own haha. Bones inside and a little crunchy but glad we gave it a go. Had the pasta with seafood to split and it was great. Prawns, mussels, and clams with a red sauce. The negative was we ordered the house red and it was forgotten 15 minutes later. We were told we were getting limoncello on the house for the incident and that never came as well. I feel bad because it was only one women in the restaurant and she was really nice but it was a little annoying at the same time. Definitely recommend this restaurant to people in the town and hopefully I'll be back as well!!

    The wine

    It's good We were there on a busy night and the service was a bit inattentive. I wouldn't hold it against them. My wife's pasta was bit undercooked but my dish was delightful. The wine was local and delicious.

    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.

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. I had the seafood pot and it was more seafood than I expected. The clams were smaller but there were lots of them. There were a lot of mussels and also a meaty octupus tentacle. 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
