Da Gianni In Ottone

The service is friendly, professional, and always with a smile. You can enjoy fresh fish in a modern tavern atmosphere.

Restaurant located in the square near the sea. Friendly service from Tariq and his colleagues. Excellent Ligurian food, the only complaint being the portions, which aren't particularly generous.

Ok people. I’m pretty sure this is my first ever Google review. My family and I were only staying in Cinque Terre for two days, and trust me we had a lot of restaurants to choose from. We chose this restaurant because of the atmosphere, proximity to the water, and their expansive menu that included some non fish options for the weirdos in my family who won’t eat fish even though we are in a coastal town. The service was beyond amazing. I was able to try to practice my Italian with the waiter being very patient, accommodating, and helpful. We ordered wine once and our glasses were never empty. He could tell I wasn’t the happiest with my soup (I could have sworn I ordered clam soup and not vegetable soup, vongole vs verdura so decently similar) so he took it even though I said not to worry about it, told me to wait a minute, and brought me out a full plate of spaghetti with clams. It was amazing and he showed me the best way to eat it (no cheese, with a spoon to spin the spaghetti). He continued joking with us and taking care of us the rest of the night. We were also surprised by the bill being as low of a price as it was - the soup was not on the bill. The most magical part though, I asked if they were selling the sweatshirts the staff was all wearing because I loved the logo, and while they weren’t, this man gave me the sweatshirt OFF OF HIS BACK to have. We tried to pay for it, insisted he keep it, and he refused. This was the best Italian hospitality I ever experienced. It felt like home, very familiar to me because of how was raised in an Italian American family, and I would 100% recommend this restaurant to anyone who visits.

Had an evening dinner here without a reservation. Place was busy but not packed. Service was good but not very friendly. The seafood spaghetti for two was an ample and tasty dish. The house wine was light and fresh. No one asked if we wanted anything else after mains. Just ignored for about 20 minutes. Will be in no rush back.

Great food, phenomenal service. Really enjoyed the octopus+potatoes, local baked fish, and the ravioli.

We grabbed a late lunch inside the restaurant and there was only 2 other tables being served. Ordered the penne con scampi. For 20 euros the food is simply not worth it as the dish was 95% pasta and sauce, there was only 3 shrimps (with barely any meat in it too). The service and the house wine was okay. Overpriced and poorly portioned unfortunately so would avoid and spent the money elsewhere I'm afraid!

Busy spot right on the edge of the sea. Great service, the waiter saw my kids shivering after swimming and gave them each a jumper to get warm. Food is simple, honest and fresh. Yes at tourist prices but that is the area that you are in. Definitely recommend this place!

Very lively, friendly staff. The kitchen staff are a on point.

Very good restaurant 😃 Great service 👍 Thanks for the lovely evening Dog-friendly

Pranzo nel weekend con amici e ti ritrovi catapultato negli anni 80. Un caldo afoso che dalla strada entra dalle finestre aperte nella speranza di fare circolare un po' d'aria poiché nessuna delle pale a soffitto era funzionante e ovviamente non esiste aria condizionata (temperatura esterna di circa 35 gradi). Ci vengono serviti antipasti che davvero sembravano usciti dai vecchi ristoranti delle comunioni fine anni 70. Qualche fetta di salume (assolutamente contata in base ai commensali), insalata russa presentata a cazzuolate sul piatto, verdure sott'olio, cipolle in agrodolce e qualche pezzo di torta di verdure. I primi senza infamia e senza lode. Ah tutto servito ad una velocità stile mensa aziendale..
