Needed to find both a restaurant and an internet connection. Found both. We found the staff to be above average and the food to be very good. Delicious and authentic.

Have the seafood spaghetti in the tin foil. A local favorite as well as mine. Have eaten there several years in a row never a disappointment. Family run

Delicious, fresh food (recommend the sea bream especially) and lovely covered balcony overlooking the water. We ate there 2x in one day, no kidding!

Nice view from the window. Pleasant environment. Food was very tasty. We had a great lunch, sea food specialties. Thoroughly enjoyed our meal.

We showed up about 8PM on a Sunday night, and it was raining outside, so I think the server had high hopes of closing up shop and going home early for some TV. When we walked in, she was immediately surly and continued to whine to the kitchen staff for the next two hours. Not just pouting, but whining out... More

Be a bit wary of this restaurant. The views are great - right on the harbour, but the service is average at best, the food is slow in coming, and not particularly tasty when it finally arrives. There are better choices in Riomaggiore and Vernazza.

I had a great night at first but the last 30 minutes completely soured it for me. The waitress was nice enough and kept on checking up on our needs throughout the night…until she and her coworkers decided to have dinner. Our table and the table nearby waited for 20 minutes until they finished to get the bill. But after... More

We sat on the outdoor patio and watched the activity on the harbor while we had a quick lunch. The food was delicious and the service was good. It was not the best meal or service we had, but it was very good and affordable. If you are in Riomaggiore for a few days, make sure you have one of... More

We ate here and really enjoyed the food and house wine. Close to our room. Overlooking the water and very cool and beautiful at night. It's not fancy.

We visited in the off season, but the restaurant was open, the staff friendly, the chef brilliant. We had a Caprese salad with very fresh mozzarella (and olives); spaghetti with tuna and Ligurian olives; and local sea bass with potatoes and Ligurian spices. Beautifully prepared. Sit at the window with the view of the harbor, and be sure to watch... More
