The negative would be the experience. You are packed in there like sardines. May remove a few tables so that you're not sitting in other peoples space. Which leads me to why the low rating. The staff was very jovial with us at the beginning and we were having a good time. Then, just as the server was placing our pasta dish down, I said grazia! The server thought I said gracias and decided to openly correct my pronunciation, embarrassing me amongst other Europeans (i'm American) sitting basically in our lap. He outwardly embarrassing me where others could hear ruined my dinner. He made me cry and couldn't understand why the change in my personality. Sorry, but there's a time and place to correct; however, as your customer is about to enjoy the food you made, you wait. When my husband went to pay, they asked if everything was alright, my husband explained what had happened and the man decided to say, "well i know i like to be corrected". I don't mind be corrected, but not in the manner/time in which he chose to do it, with wall to wall people to hear it. How bout next time you reserve your correction and just do your job well and make it a positive experience as it started out. We would have gone there every night for that octopus salad and to try other items. The food on everyone's table looked amazing. Just bad server.

However, their house dish lacked flavor. Their panini was a bit too bready and it overpowered the fish. I had to take one slice off to make it into a toast and then it was perfection!

Ambiance: High up in Manarola although you don't necessary get a good view, it's just out of the touristy area. They have both indoor and indoor seating but it's on the smaller side.

First off, everyone working there was genuinely kind. My sister and I were set on trying the octopus however this was an appetizer item, and we knew we wouldn't be able to finish an appetizer and two entrees. A lot of places sometimes get mad if you order just an appetizer and an entree to share, however they were very understanding and even brought out extra plates for us. We also got the mussel ravioli, which was to die for! Of course we had wine as well, which was also delicious! Love this place and would give 10 stars if I could!

The dessert was mid, seemed frozen because the base of the cheesecake was so hard to break through. Not sure if it was actually frozen. There was plenty of searing and it was pretty quiet in the restaurant. The service was subpar. We didn't see our waiter for a while, ended up going to inside to pay. Overall 3 stars bc the pizza was the only good thing on the menu. The workers from the bar next door were chain smokers so we did get a lot of the smoke in the outdoor seating. Lastly, everyone's table had bread and ours didn't get any. For this reason, I'm dropping the rating down to two stars.
